Go to Hell, David Perdue! His latest "attack-tweet" (ad) against Jon Ossoff is... well...

[NurseJackie]

... I just don't have the words. I'm not even going to embed it here.

I was hoping it wouldn't happen, but I kinda predicted it, so I'm not surprised at all.

1. Unless you tell the rest of us what it was it seems pointless to even bring it up nt

[NurseJackie]

4. I'm no fool. Better to be safe than sorry.

Someone else can post it. It's easy enough to find.

[Biophilic]

10. I'm sorry, but I don't understand what you're doing. Serious question - What's your point?

[NurseJackie]

12. I'm sorry you don't understand.

Go ahead and "hide" the OP and you won't be bothered any more.

[Biophilic]

16. No I just thought it was odd. I like DU because I usually learn things here and people seem

more than willing to support each others doing and learning. I was just sort of confused by this. There have been a couple of others like it that I just sort of skipped. This one I thought I would ask a real question and perhaps get a real answer. Sorry to have bothered you.

15. If you're on Twitter, it's easy to find - David Purdue doesn't tweet too much. It was tweeted....

....only a few hours ago. Should be toward the top of his tweets.

[CurtEastPoint]

2. let's guess... anti semitic?

[NurseJackie]

5. Hmm... I don't think so.

[pwb]

3. Without knowing it may work against him?

The nasty is old and people don't like it.

[NurseJackie]

7. It might, it might not.

It depends.

[Bettie]

6. Hey, at least a general description would be helpful

a clue, maybe? Perdue is awful in so many ways.

[NurseJackie]

11. Sorry. Someone may be brave enough to post it... I'm too cautious.

... for obvious reasons. Messengers are often unfairly attacked and penalized by the masses. So, in this case, it's best that I simply point out that Perdue's ugliness exists. It should be easily located online and perhaps someone else will be brave enough to share it.

8. It's becomming more & more obvious jusrt how corrupt Purdue really is! I

think even the Pubs arent able to ignoreit anymore. I'm voting for both Dem candidates in this election. Juat waiting for my absentee ballot to get here.

[liberal_mama]

9. Is it on Twitter?

I tried to find it, but couldn't. Maybe he already deleted it?

[NurseJackie]

13. No, it's still there. On twitter. Still active.

Only, I'm not going to link directly to it for obvious reasons.

[Bettie]

14. I found nothing

I think we're being trolled.

[NurseJackie]

22. You are wrong.

[George II]

18. It's about 7th or 8th from the top at @Perduesenate

[TeamPooka]

17. thread trashed

[Cuthbert Allgood]

19. Now I get it.

You don't want to post something against AOC (and also Schummer and Pelosi mentioned in there, in case you didn't notice), so you are just being all coy.

Yawn.

[NurseJackie]

20. That's incorrect.

[Cuthbert Allgood]

24. Then either say which one it is or just stop.

This is pointless.

[edhopper]

21. What a useless post

Completely useless.

[NurseJackie]

23. LOL! Not really... thanks for the kick.

[edhopper]

28. and there is this thingy called a link

Try it sometime.

[NurseJackie]

29. Too risky.

[George II]

30. When it comes to a tweet here, posting the link winds up showing the actual tweet.

[edhopper]

31. You can add spaces

[madaboutharry]

25. You could have summarized it for us,

rather than expecting people to go scrolling down a twitter account in order to attempt to figure out what you are posting about. This is DU, it isn't a research project.

I like reading your posts NurseJackie, but this one isn't fair. I would have been interested in knowing what he tweeted about Ossoff.

[NurseJackie]

26. No... for obvious reasons, that's not a good idea.

[George II]

27. Speaking vaguely, it has something to do with a Senator who caucuses with the Democrats...

(hint: not Angus King)

[edhopper]

32. Here it is

https: //twitter.com /Perduesenate/status/1333787968176234497

Just remove the space before and after //twitter.com

It's nasty.

[NurseJackie]

34. You're braver than I am.

Attack-the-messenger is a popular pastime, and I'm totally NOT in the mood to deal with that. But it's something that people should be aware of.

[edhopper]

35. What's the worse that can happen

The jury can do what they will. I will stand proud.

[George II]

37. ...

[SMC22307]

39. LOL How tough of a Democrat are you...

if you can't handle replies on a message board. Cryptic OPs are ridiculous and if the message were really important, you would have shared it. Stop with the coy - not a good look.

[GoCubsGo]

36. All of his ads are this filthy.

And, he runs them constantly on our local TV stations. Kelly Loeffler's are even worse.

[Alex4Martinez]

33. Attack ad? For supporting Medicare for all, Green New Deal, Scandinavia as a model?

FDR would be shocked, SHOCKED I TELL YOU!



We should all be celebrating a little bit of Socialism, like public schools, parks, libraries, transit, health care.

Until we step up and stop being embarrassed by good ideas, we will continue to earn crumbs and have even those taken away.

[NurseJackie]

38. It's not aimed at FDR. It's aimed at the voters of Georgia who have very different...

It's not aimed at FDR. It's aimed at the voters of Georgia who have very different... and negative views of such things. The "socialist" policies and agenda that you cheer is something that could end up costing Ossoff the election. You embrace the word "socialist" and Georgia voters largely reject it. Right or wrong, that's the way it is.

Until we step up and stop being embarrassed by good ideas, we will continue to earn crumbs and have even those taken away.

Nobody is "embarrassed by good ideas" ... and having a lack of embarrassment (if that were the case, which it isn't) wouldn't solve anything either. It's a complete waste of time to try and "reclaim" the word socialism. That battle is lost. And the old adage still holds true that "if we're explaining, then we're losing". It's time to let go and move on. Let go of the label and focus more on the individual items.

From what I can tell about Georgia voters, this will hurt Ossoff... and that's really a shame.
