Dick Durbin Compared to Nixon in new radio ad

Capitol Fax reports:

The Jim Oberweis for US Senate campaign released the following statewide radio ad to coincide with the 40th anniversary of the resignation of Richard Nixon:

VO: Did you know Article 2, Section 1 of the impeachment against Dick Nixon was for using the IRS against his political enemies?

VO: Did you know Dick Durbin asked the IRS to investigate a political opponent about the same time the IRS began illegally targeting American families?

VO: Did you know Dick Durbin refuses to reveal any other correspondence he may have had with the IRS during the midst of the scandal?

VO: Did you know Dick Durbin took thousands of dollars in campaign contributions from the IRS union and refuses to return the money?

VO: Did you know Dick Durbin refuses to answer whether he supports a Special Prosecutor to get to the bottom of the IRS mess even though most Americans want one?

VO: Paid for by Oberweis for Senate

JO: I’m Jim Oberweis and I approve this message and if you elect me to the U.S. Senate, I’ll make sure we get those answers…. and that the IRS will never again be used as a weapon against American families.

JO: It was wrong when Dick Nixon did it, and it’s wrong when Dick Durbin does it.

JO: To help me stop this type of abuse, please visit my website, jimoberweis.com
