Smearing 12-year-old Graeme Frost and his family was so last week. Are there any new targets for the far-right to attack? Catholics United, a left-leaning educational group, seems to be waving a red flag at the conservative bulls. (via DemFromCT)

Catholics United will launch a radio advertising campaign targeting ten members of Congress whose opposition to the State Children's Health Insurance Program (SCHIP) have compromised their pro-life voting records.

The ads, which feature a mother urging her Congressional Representative to support SCHIP, will primarily air on Christian and talk radio stations from Monday Oct. 15 to Wednesday, Oct. 17 as Congress approaches a critical Oct. 18 vote to override President Bush's veto of bipartisan SCHIP legislation.

The mother in the radio ad will say, "I'm the mother of three children, and I'm pro-life. I believe that protecting the lives our children must be our nation's number one moral priority. That's why I'm concerned that Congressman X says he's pro-life but votes against health care for poor children. That's not pro-life. That's not pro-family. Tell Congressman X to vote for health care for children. Call him today at XXXX, that's XXXXX."

That's a pretty good message, but I'm curious what conservatives might try to discredit this woman before people take her concerns seriously. My friend John Cole believes the far-right smear machine will clearly want to take a closer look at the voice in the ad.

Is she really a woman? What is her address and where can I find her house so I can drive by it? Does she really have three kids? ... Is she really Catholic? Does she go to church? ... Is she really pro-life? ... And most important of all, what do her kitchen counters look like?

Note to the right: Cole is kidding. Please do not go after this woman.
