Last night Rachel Maddow took on the anti-financial reform group with a liberal-sounding message, Stop Too Big To Fail, with a special focus on DCI Group, the Washington astroturf specialists who have links to Stop Too Big To Fail.

Maddow notes that DCI used to work for the anti-health reform Coalition to Protect Patients’ Rights, and DCI execs’ were previously at R.J. Reynolds setting up so-called Smokers’ Rights Groups.

She also interviews the economist Simon Johnson, who was previously taken in by Stop Too Big To Fail before demanding the group stop using his name and picture to burnish its credibility.
