How Racist Will Republican Ads Be in 2012?

Take a look at this ad -- conveniently done by an outfit called Turn Right USA so the GOP candidate can keep his hands clean -- smearing Janice Hahn, the Democrat in the CA-26 special election, and tell me Republicans won't try to use similar racist imagery against every Democrat running in a non-minority district next year ... if it works. 

Warning: This is not work safe and not appropriate for children.

The DCCC calls it "offensive and sexist" but they're missing the entire racist dogwhistle aspect of the ad.  It certainly is sexist and offensive, but the whole point of it is to activate race-based fears of black men who are out to get your white women ... and oh by the way, of Barack Obama ... and, by association, all the rest of those Democrats, too.  This one makes the "Harold, call me" ad from 2008 look innocent. 

Republicans intend to scare white people so much they'll check their brains at the door to the voting booth -- just forget everything else and vote your race.

Odious, ugly, despicable -- empty the dictionary on this one.  Post-racial nation my ass, these people are just like cornered animals.  They see their hold on authority slipping away and will do literally anything, no matter how vile, to hold on just a little longer.

Has this actually been run as an ad? (4.00 / 2)
I cannot imagine the television station or outlet that would leave itself open to the lawsuits that will follow. There is, after all is said and done, a limit!

"BOUNCE THE BASTARDS". Piggieheart

I can't imagine it either (4.00 / 1)
And I don't know if it has aired on TV or not.  It's 90 seconds, which is really long for TV, so it may be internet only.

Work harder and work smarter!

Imagine a world... (4.00 / 1)

Imagine a world with a Democrat President and a Democrat Governor...your wife is driving down Alabama highway 75.

She's almost to the Lake house in Scottsboro.

She sees flashing lights in her review mirror.

She pulls over.

The Trooper walks to her window...

License, registration and insurance, ma'am.

She looks up - and he's black.

Vote Beason - Governor - he'll never let this happen. 



Come join us; you can be a winner too!

More racist than any of us expect, I think (4.00 / 1)
Because we just cut them so much slack all the time, so they can be Grover Norquist's b****s.

"The War in Iraq is not the disease. The War in Iraq is a symptom. Arrogance is the disease" - Bill Richardson

Well, it's not like we weren't warned... (4.00 / 1)
The racists of all groups are coming out in full force to justify their prejudices on whatever convienent grounds possible.  

"Hypocrites are those whom pick and choose prejudices while giving accolades for their own..."

"It is what it is."
