This will give liberal Democrats dyspepsia, if not outright apoplexy. I expect Harry Reid's head to explode.

Unlike typical liberal Democrat smear campaigns we see from coast to coast during election season, the Koch brothers are featuring a completely different approach.  Some may call it civility inspired political dialog to confuse liberals, since they have no idea what civility means in the context of a political campaign.

Freedom Partners Action Fund, a super PAC affiliated with the conservative Koch brothers, is spending $6.5 million on TV commercials to make the final case against Democrats in some of the nation’s closest Senate races. 
The ads urge voters to support Republicans in six states — Alaska, Arkansas, Colorado, Iowa, New Hampshire and North Carolina. Republicans need to pick up six seats in next month’s election to take control of the Senate.
Instead of going on the attack, the ads use a gentle, testimonial style. They feature voters against a backdrop of classic Americana scenes, explaining how disappointed they are that the Democratic incumbent has strayed from local values. 
Here's a video example of the Koch's super PAC funding of the Thom Tillis senatorial campaign in North Carolina.  Tillis is facing off against very liberal incumbent, Senator Kay Hagan, who has, in recent days, found herself to be in great political jeopardy.  You see, Hagan previously pushed for and supported the nomination of a particular individual for a federal judgeship.  Nine days after his confirmation, the judge voted favorably in a case that involved Hagan and her husband, who both stood to become far better off as a result.  Call it what you will, but most folks think of this in unethical and immoral terms.
