    Post GOP Group Targets Black Voters With "Ho" Ad

    Put this in my ever-expanding "you can't make this stuff up" file. A GOP group called America's Pac has released ads meant to sway black voters to the Republican side. A worthwhile goal, but one of their ads has a, uhh, questionable approach.

    "If you make a little mistake with one of your ‘hos,' you'll want to dispose of that problem tout suite, no questions asked," one of the men says.

    "That's too cold. I don't snuff my own seed," the other replies.

    "Maybe you do have a reason to vote Republican," the first man says.

    Another one cojoins David Duke (who served as a Republican) to the Democrats:

    The ad makes reference to Duke's trip to Syria last year, where he spoke at an anti-war rally.

    "I can understand why a Ku Klux Klan cracker like David Duke makes nice with the terrorists,"a male voice in the ad says. "What I want to know is why so many of the Democrat politicians I helped elect are on the same side of the Iraq war as David Duke."

    I've watched quite a few sleazy attack ads on YouTube in the last few weeks, but none as unintentionally funny as these. If somebody's got a link to the full media, I will send you cookies.

    These are ripe.


    What saddens me is that, in general, negative ads work and work well. I am beginning to wonder if they can EVER sink so low as to have a real backlash effect -- the only thing that might prevent their recurrence.

    You know Lemur, if I didn't know better, I'd say you're starting to tip off the 'middle ground' you so vehemently espouse. This must be at least the 5th or 6th thread you've started in the 6 weeks running up to the mid-term elections attempting to ridicule and disparage Republicans, yet not a single one holding the Democrats up to the light.

    Just for the record, this is why people say there are no moderates, just Democrats in disgusise.

    If I have a particular dislike for the current GOP, does that make me a Democrat by default? This is a serious question. I have no real love for the Dems. I don't campaign, contribute, or even register as a Democrat. In fact, my last campaign contribution was to a Republican, although that was more than two years ago.

    But let's face facts -- I loathe the place where the GOP has gone. I would like to see them take a well-deserved fall in the upcoming election. If we accept a one-dimensional view of politics (in either function or theory), then I have to be somewhere on the single axis, correct?

    I really don't know. I suspect it's possible to be against the current Congress and Administration without being a Democrat.

    I'm just saying your figleaf of neutrality is starting to fray at the edges.

    Personally, I'm not so sure losing the House (though please God no, not the Senate) would be such a bad thing. The Republicans have become the party of Huey Long, throwing good money after bad in a pathetic effort to buy votes. But don't think for a moment that the phase "Speaker Pelosi" doesn't send cold shivers of dread down my spine.

    Hm, I don't think I've tried to say that I'm "neutral" in any sense of that word. I do consider myself a moderate politically, and every test I've ever taken confirms that. Politically I'm downright boring.

    Nevertheless, I think this Congress should be returned to sender. I want the same thing I've always wanted -- divided government. If anybody needs a lesson in how one-party rule corrupts, the last six years should be worthy of advanced credit.

    Trust me, if we had one-party rule by extreme leftists, you'd hear me yowling about them. But what we've had for six years in the exact opposite -- rule by free-spending, corrupt "conservatives." I don't need any fig leaf to hide my disgust at them. And I don't need a fig leaf to cover my contempt for their lazy, spendthrift legislation, or the way they suddenly remember how to get things done when it's time to campaign. As a writer put it recently, why can't they show this kind of discipline and focus when it comes to war?

    LOL Sean Hannity.

    The Republicans are awful, but the Democrats are retards. The Republicans are making things easy for them and they won't make a single move. Surely these condescending ads alone should be plenty of material to help clean things up a bit.

    I think the term 'GOP Group' might be a bit misleading in that it suggests the GOP has something to do with this. Perhaps 'conservative PAC' might fit better.

    Yes it is quite sad that they could slump so low as to use racial slur's to buy votes. These adds are horrible they are some of the worst attack adds out there. But yes they are funny, sad, but funny.

    Lemur the corruption is on both sides. Last week the senate minority leader was exposed to having some very questionable buisness deals in nevada. I was hoping to see a thread about that, but none so far.

    First quote in the original post sums up 100% accurately the murderous position of the democratic party quite well. Respectable Black people will definitely realize that and vote Republican after seeing that ad. Great job on the ad makers who made that ad. There should be more ads like that.

    It might be funny to us, but it would make sense to most black people around here. Ebonics is the native language.

    Hey, don't depend on the Lemur, especially when I'm more interested in nailed testes and questionable boy scout badges. Post it! I heard something about Harry Reid's troubles, but I'd be interesed in hearing the details ...

    two party system works just as well as a one party system, mabey worse in some respects as it always attempts to set people on a divide, and a house divided cannot stand.

    i will never call myself either of those damned corrupt idiotic groups. at the moment we need serious reforms, more investigations and a new president, wait NO! we need an OLD PRESIDENT, Egor! fire up the ressurection machine dr frankenstein is doing one more project. WELCOME BACK FDR!!!
