The Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee has sent out a fundraising e-mail to its supporters, seeking to bring in money as a reaction to the Tea Party protests that have disrupted Democrats’ town hall meetings.

The e-mail links to this Web video, attacking three villains Michael Steele, Rush Limbaugh and Glenn Beck for being behind this:

“We must stand against this tiny, vocal minority,” the e-mail says. “The Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee has set a goal to raise $50,000 online by Friday, Aug. 14.” (Emphasis theirs.)

Check out the full e-mail, after the jump.

Dear Friend,

All week, fringe, far-right organizations funded by shady, unreported sources have been ginning up their supporters to disrupt Democratic town hall meetings. The goal: kill every attempt at health care reform and wound President Obama. One leaked memo written by a leader of the Tea Party Patriots tells protesters to “Watch for an opportunity to yell out. … The goal is to rattle him.”

Things have really gotten out of hand. Just see it for yourself:

Watch the video, then fight back.

We must stand against this tiny, vocal minority. The Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee has set a goal to raise $50,000 online by Friday, Aug. 14. Make a contribution toward the goal today. Even a gift of $5 can make a difference.

Help ensure that Democrats have the resources it takes to win. Click here, and make a donation to the DSCC today! Even a gift of $5 can make a difference.

Sincerely,

J.B. Poersch

P.S. Make a gift today, and then share the video with your family and friends. We will not sit by and watch enemies of progress derail the change America needs!
