OMG. This is a REAL ad?
Got this in an Alan Grayson email. I went to his site and saw this:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=umTITWQuXwY

At first, I thought it was a joke, a hoax. But I guess not. It scares me - and not because it's a about "terrorists" but rather because it's a real ad from someone in this country running for political office. :scared:

1. Holy Crap! They really want Grayson gone
The worst part ruining Magnum Force by using the music. Someone tell Clint Eastwood, maybe he'll demand they ad is stopped for copyright infringement.

11. unbelievable
Edited on Fri Aug-13-10 05:22 PM by ProfessionalLeftist
Who are these people, these Fanellis and Bachmanns, and Angles and Palins? Some mutated human subclass from damaged (read: inbred) DNA?

Honestly, if we were to combine the brain power of the entire lot of them, we couldn't produce one properly-working brain cell. And they want to run the country? Yikes. (speaking of "terrorists" - I think they're the ones making these videos...)

(edit: to spell Fanelli's name right. Pfft.)

9. No doubt, I'd be more suspicious of the white guy with a tie than the Arab.
I wonder how those Arab actors live with themselves being used like that to further stereotypes and help xenophobic politicians.

7. The ad right above it on YouTube was for Resident Evil.
How very appropriate. This guy is obviously an evil resident of Alan's district.

What an awful use of the Theme From Magnum Force.

I just sent his agent an email suggesting it.

25. Wow...
...these things are so pretentious, contrived, and full stop WRONG on so many levels. This is out and out tacky really.

Repubes don't even want Health Care AT ALL. I'd like to see Mr. McRepublican make an ad about that. Oh guess what? My mom can't get certain treatments and tests NOW due to her age. Been that way for the past 2-3 years. They won't cover them. And "Obamacare" hasn't even kicked in yet. Hasn't a thing to do with it. So WTF is this ad claiming exactly?

24. Here's the best part.... the comments....


@samgee2007 you're an idiot

I love the pure fact that the terrorist in the ad is an actor and not a terrorist, thereby disproving the guy's fucking point in the first place. What "looks" like a terrorist rarely is.I'm absolutely appalled that this ad was even created. I'm disturbed that the actor would take this job. I'm disturbed that an editor would edit this video. I'm angry that a producer would produce it. Completely racist to have a white sheet (of some sort over his head). The actors should be shamed that they took this job. This is sick!

Tea baggers to the rescue! That's the GOBP for you: Sharron Angle, Dan Fanelli, Newt GangRICH, Michele Bachmann, Orly's Taint, Sarah Palin, John Boner , Eric Cantor, Rush Windbagg, Glenn Beck, Karl Rove, G.W. ("put food on their family; ...fool me twice - eh, you can't get fooled again!") Bush...


..It's not poor memory, but 'low information' that ails a lot of American voters unfortunately.


Is this a parody?

Are all republicans scumbag moron tools of the wealthy, or just most of them

As a "Brown" American...born and raised in U.S....this boy is Playing up to bring out the Fear and Ignorance among Americans. It is the Same Basic Fears and Hate that Led to the ill-planned 2003 invasion of Iraq. That Republican-led 2003 invasion allowed the Mass Murderer Osama bin Laden to Escape!!! So, why sent another RNC Hater off to Washington? Let us NOT!!

idiot

How stupid is this guy?? Worse, how stupid are any of his followers??? Christ, we're in deeper shit than if the entire Taliban rowed over in goat skin canoes with dirty bombs strapped to their asses.

IS THIS GUY FUCKING SERIOUS??????!!!!! I'm against terrorists as much as any American, but this add is unfucking real!

I have 2 words for this idiot: Timothy McVeigh.

It might help him in identifying the real terrorists.
