Don't see how it could go lower (H/T ABL)

I can't believe any tv station would air this ad.

Don't even know where to begin on how racist, sexist, and offensive this is.

BTW, this is a race to fill Jane Harmon's seat for California's 36th District and Janice Hahn is a Democrat (of course).

I watched it earlier today and was stunned. I saw that it was created by some quasi right wing "group", that I wonder if isn't just some guy. I couldn't figure out if it actually went on the air somewhere though. Is this just something somebody put on a web site???

Web sites. Way too long for a tv commercial. I was so pi$$ed off when I watched it I wasn't thinking straight. It uses the red eyes/wolf/crap that actually did air in one of the political ads in 2010. Not sure where AngryBlackLady saw it but she posted the link on Twitter and in her post on Balloon Juice.

Here's an Update from ABL on her site.. I'm not watching because I'm angry enough already and I have to be careful with that for my own well being. Anyway..

"UPDATE: Apparently, TPM doesn’t really have more. “Shockingly negative attack”!? How about “racist as fuck”?

And this:

“This ad is incredibly offensive and sexist to all women,” Hahn campaign manager Dave Jacobson told TPM. “The producer of this ad should be ashamed of himself and Craig Huey should be ashamed to have this kind of thing produced on his behalf.”

Um, hello? The ad is also RACIST AS FUCK. That’s the first thing that comes to mind. Not the sexism. The racist-as-fuckism. It’s offensive to women because it’s a white woman shaking her shit? Why do I have a feeling that the racism of the ad isn’t as horrifying to people as the sexism?

I just can’t even.

I hate everyone."

I can understand that. It seems to me that something of this depth of ugliness is only beneficial to Hahn and getting her more positive exposure?

I hope that that was a bad parody, because I would really hate to think that an actual RW group had considered this an actual ad. That looks like work done by high-schoolers in some kid's basement.

Good gawd almighty! That is beyond disgusting.

[nofurylike]

it was made by POS Ladd Ehlinger, Jr. for the Turn Right PAC.
it is now called "the most racist campaign ad ever."

"But lies never die on the right, if they're useful."

i read, yesterday, that the maker threatened to replace it with countless more of the same, if anyone tries to take it off of youtube.

I didn't watch this yesterday and am sorry I just did. Incredibly stupid, racist, ugly and a real slam to women. The red eyes....which of CA's runners last year had the sheep with red eyes? That piece of shit should go in the memory hole because it's pure republican.

None other than the evil Carly Fiorina in the California GOP primary.

Quote:Ms Fiorina's ad shows a human dressed as a "wolf in sheep's clothing" with red laser eyes creeping around a field of real sheep.

Oh. My. Gawd.

That's all I got.
