This is allowed as a political ad?!?!
 

Really??



I mean, I do understand the impetus of fear and security mindedness. But.. really??

Wow.

Just wow.

Why isn't there more outcry about this? Why isn't the nation more shocked at this kind of behaviour?

Yeah...Wow....just wow :blink:

I gather he never heard of Timothy McVeigh ?
What an idiot... and anyone that would vote for him..
imho , of course...

just waiting to see if the obvious becomes discussed on this thread ...

The truly sad/scary thing is that ads like this attract voters. There are plenty of ignorant and racist folks out there and in some parts of this country politicians can actually win by pandering to them. This ad is even worse than the one for some other southern governor who promises to change the DMV test to english-only, because in his state "we speak english".

I am disgusted, but not surprised....

With all that is going on, the people of Middle Eastern descent are going to be just as targeted as latinos because of a few ass hats...

So what does the white man do, they fucking make a commercial of it, puff their chests thump them and take care of the *others*...

It's gross

Watching that made me want to throw up. :(

How racist can they be. A towel? A damn towel on dude's head?

I am so deeply saddened that people who think like this man even exist....that he is running for office is hideously frightening.

I see its on Fox TV.

Cause you know, white men have never ever done anything bad.

Well, as Jon Stewart pointed out the guy who flew his plane into the IRS was balding. :blink:



Uh... what obvious?

This racist slime is the tea bagger challenging my hero Alan Grayson.

Here's a link to a Faux Newz story about him and his slime ads (there are 3!!!).

I wasn't going to bother asking, as drive-bys bug me. Let's assume Godwin's Law and just go ahead and invoke Nazis so that we can move on :-)

Really Super Nice White Guys and Gals!!:pcthink:

Equally disturbing is that he found actors so desperate for money that they would do an ad for a candidate who wants to racially profile them should he win.

So I watched it again, what obvious?

I hate it when people do that, it trips my ocd so I hate to watch the damn thing over and over trying to see what I might have missed.

GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR.

ps. yes, I know I am a freak. laugh.

what is obvious is the pandering to fear via racialization and racist, ignorant posturing and the promise of TERRORIST acts for those who fit the physical (racial) features of their rants.

FYI, I did not comment right away ... I have learned that one can be severely attacked for mentioning the "R" word. As a relative newbie, I believe that it is wiser for me to "listen" to comments before weighing in with my own. Not so much as to be safer, as if comments of this nature can ever be considered "safe", but to flesh out the thinking of those already established here and to find a way to enter the discussion.

Hopefully, this clarifies what I mean by obvious. If not, you (the general "you") can be pissy ... I don't mind, really. :giggle: Or, you can post something specific that you object to in my natterings.

I thought you meant something else, as the entire point of the ad is to pander to fear via racism.

Here's an ad that is running in Arkansas right now against Bill Halter:


[nomedia="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5vdqUPIq9Nk"]YouTube- Racist Anti-Halter Ad[/nomedia]

There have been several uproars about the racism in the ad from multiple groups here and the paper has written several articles about it.

It's OK, It was very racist. A TOWEL?

I know we can be a tough group!
