Jack Davis spreads the scam further

As we wrote yesterday, when we broke this story, billionaire Congressional candidate Jack Davis, NY-26, has a scam web site, a direct one to one rip-off of the web site of his principal opponent, Jon Powers. The scam web site spreads disinformation and innuendo about Powers.

Jack Davis, in case you forgot, is the guy who went all the way to the Bush Supreme Court to overturn the millionaires amendment, which before he filed suit allowed people running against self-funding millionaires to raise more money from every donor.

Now he's using his undoubted financial advantage to steal the web site of a netroots candidate and, on that stolen web site, lie about him. To make sure people notice it, he's now bought Google ads on Daily Kos, TPM, MyDD, and other sites across Progressive blogdom, in clear violation of Google's Terms of Service, which forbid the advertising of spoof sites.

Support Jon Powers. He's running against a guy who's not just a millionaire, but obviously a scumbag as well. Self-funded scumbags, unfortunately, are the worst kind.

[Update]
: Well, finally: two days after we broke the story, Albany Project chimes in; Buffalo Pundit was quicker, here.

So Tell Me Michael

Why isn't this scumbag being reported to Google for violation of their terms of service? He should be barred and the site taken down.

The face of the Republican Party in Iowa is the face of a losing party, full of hatred toward immigrants, lust for government subsidies, and the demand that any Republican seeking the office of the presidency acknowledge that he's little more than Jesus Christ's running mate.


— Ryan Sager, New York Sun
