NRCC endorses racist, sexist anti-Hahn ad.

[RandySF]

Republicans say Democratic congressional candidate Janice Hahn has hit "a new low" by alerting supporters to a conservative ad portraying her as a demonic stripper who is sexually assaulted by "gangsters" with automatic weapons.

Sure, the National Republican Congressional Committee says, the ad is offensive and over the top -- its press release calls it a "racist and sexist web ad" -- but it makes a good point about the program she supported for gang intervention specialists.

"Are House Democrats using the disgraceful web ad in an attempt to distract voters from Janice Hahn's reported ties to LA gang members?" the press release asks, linking to a Fox 11 television report about a gang prevention program she supported.

"The investigative report of Janice Hahn's actions on behalf of dangerous gang members is disturbing enough without the gratuitous and inappropriate images that this web ad contains," NRCC spokesman Tyler Q. Houlton said in a statement.

1. That's clear as mud. I've gotten several messages from Democratic groups about the ad

being run by a RW front group.

"Sexist and racist doesn’t even begin to cover it.

A right-wing front group has launched an ad in the upcoming California-36 special election that may be the most outrageously vile attack I’ve ever seen. Young African-Americans portrayed as gangsters. Our Democratic candidate Janice Hahn portrayed as a pole dancer and referring to her using extreme derogatory language. It’s despicable.

After their loss in the New York-26 Special Election, it’s clear that these right-wing third party groups will stoop to any low to distract from Republicans’ disastrous plan to end Medicare for seniors but protect tax breaks for Big Oil and multi-millionaires. An attack on women and minorities this blatant and offensive deserves our strongest grassroots response."

So why doesn't the ever-so-moral GOP stop it?

2. Now let me get this straight....

THEY think that SHE has hit a new low because SHE points out THEIR racist,sexist ad?
There you have it in a nut shell, the reason Anthony Weiner was pressured to resign, they (the repugs) have all the righteous indignation, gall, pomposity, haughtiness, whatever you want to call it. They believe they can and will do nothing that needs to be apologized for, Dems believe that everything they do needs to be apologized for.
