US attack ads

These have to be listened to, to be believed. They are from a Republican Vernon Robinson who was labelled by a newspaper as a “black Jesse Helms” and then used the tag as a badge of pride.

In this radio ad he claims “If Miller [his opponent] had his way, America would be nothing but one big fiesta for illegal aliens and homosexuals.”

In the second ad, played to banjo tunes. You have to listen to it to believe it. Hilarious (yet disturbing).

This third radio ad rails against illegal aliens and how awful it is some McDonalds staff don’t speak English.

His one TV ad is not so outrageous but still out there.

The highlight though is this ad script:

Robinson for Congress Ad: “Pays for Sex”

Announcer: What kind of Congressman would try to deny our soldiers the body armor they need to save their lives?
(On Screen: Soldiers alongside a flag-draped coffin.)
Announcer: Well the answer is, your Congressman, Brad Miller. That’s right, Brad Miller did not vote for the appropriation to pay for improved body armor for our troops. But Brad Miller has no trouble spending your money, he, he would just rather spend it on sex.
(On Screen: A Picture of Rep. Brad Miller with “XXX” printed over it.)
(Sound FX: Animal noises.)
Announcer: That’s right, instead of spending money on sickle-cell research Brad Miller voted to spend your money to study the sex lives of Vietnamese prostitutes in San Francisco. Instead of spending money on cancer research, Brad Miller spent your money to study the masturbation habits of old men. Brad Miller spent your tax dollars to study something called the Bisexual Transgendered and Two-Spirited Aleutian Eskimos, whoever they are. Brad Miller even spent your tax dollars to pay teenage girls to watch pornographic movies with probes connected to their genitalia. Brad Miller pays for sex, but not for body armor for our troops. If Miller had better priorities, you wouldn’t be having to hear this.
(On Screen: Images of soldiers in combat.)
Robinson: “I’m Vernon Robinson and I approved this message because Brad Miller is out of touch and soon, he’ll be out of Congress.”

I am now curious about “Bisexual Transgendered and Two-Spirited Aleutian Eskimos” 🙂
