DCCC Demands GOP Condemn What Could Be Most Racist/Sexist Ad Ever

[natina]

WASHINGTON -- The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee released a statement on Tuesday evening denouncing what could very well be the most outrageously sexist and racist ad in political history.
Earlier this week, the group Turn Right USA released a web ad that could double as a parody of race baiting and bigotry. The spot, targeting Janice Hahn -- the Democratic candidate in a special election to take over Rep. Jane Harman's L.A.-based House seat -- spun a fairly uncontroversial attempt to have reformed gang-members draw current ones away from that lifestyle into tales of demonic violence, taxpayer subsidized rape and drug abuse.
It seemed like a transparent attempt by to hook eager cable news producers for some free airtime. For the large part, however, it went under the radar.
Which is why the DCCC's decision to call on the Republican candidate in the race, Craig Huey, to condemn it is a bit of a head-scratcher.
"This ad does not reflect the values of California’s hardworking women and men," said Jennifer Crider, deputy executive director of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee. "Craig Huey’s silence should send a chilling message to our mothers sisters, and daughters that this kind of outrageous and sexist material is tolerated.”

Wow! And speaking of 'demonizing'; notice how they made her eyes red at the end. Shame on the people that made that.

It's been done before. The Tories played it as their last card in 1997 before Blair swept them away with this historic landslide victory.




Only problem was that the bastards turned out to be right in the end. Oh well.

So who is more responsible? the people that conceived the idea? or the two "actors" that participated in that?
I think everyone is equally culpable.

The African-American gentlemen in the ad seem to be quite uncomfortable and have all outward appearances of being unfamiliar with anything gang-related at all. I find it sad that such is the state of politics, but nonetheless it does have a catchy beat and while not up my alley in terms of melodic preference, these two youngsters could really make something of themselves.

That ad is the most ridiculous, offensive political as I've ever seen, and I am not easily offended.

And Hahn's idea seems pretty good to me - and it's certainly a mainstream, often-used method to help reduce crime and influence gang members.

Where did they get those Uncle Tom oreos for this ad?

Dont like black, law abiding capitilists I see. Gee why?

So you prefer the blacks with their hands out asking for freebies? Or gang banging drug dealers? Which is it?
