A pro-Democratic group is using video cuts of the loud, politically incorrect Tea Partier Joe Walsh to turn up the volume against him and two other Republicans in three key Chicago-area races.

Dont blame banks! I am tired of hearing that crap! Walsh is seen imploring on a video of him talking to 8th Congressional District residents.

In another clip hes shown saying: I want America to pay for my contraceptives. Youre kidding me. Go get a job!

Clearly viewing Illinois as fertile ground to win over congressional seats, the House Majority PAC, which aims to put Democrats back into the lead in Washington, on Tuesday disclosed it had pumped $2.4 million into the three U.S. House races in the 8th, 10th and 11th congressional districts.

One video, entitled Loud links Walsh to U.S. Representatives Bob Dold and Judy Biggert. While Walsh is a Tea Partier through and through, both Dold and Biggert are far more moderate. Still, the ad, which, according to the House Majority PAC, will run in heavy rotation for two weeks, on both cable and broadcast, works to link the three as equally out of step even thought it only plays video snippets of Walsh talking.

Incidentally, the cut of Walsh saying Go Get a Job, was only a partial quote. The full quote from that day was Go Get a Job, Sandra Fluke.

Fluke is the woman who testified before Congress about affordable birth control, only to be berated by conservative talk-show host Rush Limbaugh as a slut.

The HousePAC is banking on Walsh being so unpopular in Illinois, he will help sink two other Republican incumbents.
