This Season’s Worst Racist Political Attack Ad (so far)

Get ready to be repulsed with this new political attack ad funded by the right-wing political action committee Turn Right USA.

Janice Hahn, Los Angeles City Councilwoman and Democratic Congressional candidate, has been criticized by opponents for supporting the work of community anti-gang violence organizers. In this video Turn Right USA turned Hahn into a red-eyed devil stripper while black men surround her and say, “Yeah, gimme your cash, bitch, so we can shoot up the street. Give me your cash, bitch, so we can buy some more heat.”

As despicable as it sounds, it’s worse to see.

The video was created by Ladd Ehlinger, Jr., a political ad producer best known for a 2010 ad for Dale Peterson’s Alabama secretary of agriculture race, according to TPM. This morning Ehlinger said that by denouncing the ad’s racism and sexism, Hahn “reveal that she is not a member of the human race.”

1. You'll never see it on major prime time stations

2. Oh wow. That is truly sick.

I watched the ad, and yes it is as bad as they say. If they try to air that thing, I hope it'll backfire on them. As it should.

4. You'll only see it on blogs and youtube

Never see it or anything like it on the networks.

3. Can people stop posting this thrash here

why can't people use their common sense for once.

But then again if you are being paid common sense
do not play a role.

:puke:

5. I posted it because it is the topic of several other posts, the RNCC has called it 'sexist and

racist' and blames the Democratic candidate for its existence instead of the RW group that produced it.

8. interesting RNC is the first to mention the sexism and sexual violence to women

and the threads on du and the dem shows i saw it on last night didnt mention it at all. i guess being the sexually progressive people we are, the impression of ramming a rifle into a woman from behind is merely a sexual quirk we should not judge.

6. There's some odd stuff in that ad

Including a picture of a young Joseph Stalin.

9. They have no shame.

But then when did the RWingnuts ever let something like that hold them back?

10. So, when do the Republicans denounce Turn Right USA?

They produced this ad themselves. I remember when Move On sponsored a contest for folks to submit political ads, one of the ads equated Bush with Hitler. Move On did not produce the ad, didn't choose the ad as a contest winner, yet somehow they were called on the carpet as if they had. Oh, it was the Worst Thing Ever! A political action group with an ad comparing our beloved Commander in Chief, the War President, to Adolf Hitler. The media and the Republicans were at their pearl-clutching, fainting-couch finest, and Move On to this day still has to answer scurrilous shit about this.

Turn Right USA? Crickets.

12. The GOP called the ad 'sexist and racist' and then said the Democrat was the cause of the ad.

11. Why did she have Socialist and Communist Party patches on pants?

Seriously is any one running that?
