Russ Feingold: Second Amendment Champion!

Don't laugh. Russell Feingold has grown so desperate in his re-election bid that he's now criticizing his opponent for not supporting gun rights.

You won't find too many Democrats these days attacking their conservative opponents for being soft on gun rights.

But that's exactly what Sen. Russ Feingold did last week in a radio ad, trading fire with GOP challenger Ron Johnson over who's a better friend of the Second Amendment.

"I have been one of the true leaders in fighting for a greater right to bear arms," Feingold said in an interview last week.

Republicans scoff at such claims, noting Feingold received an "F" and a "D" from the National Rifle Association during his first two re-election campaigns in 1998 and 2004.
