REPUBLICAN SHAME TACTICS: They work.
“I cannot accept, your canon that we are to judge pope and king unlike other men, with a favorable presumption that they do no wrong. If there is any presumption, it is the other way against holders of power ... Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely.” – Lord Acton
If all else fails throw in the RACE CARD with evil RNC Ads like in Tennessee or use the “Fear Factor” The Fear factor and clouding the issues work in many nations which have actually had bigger terrorist problems that we have. But as you can see the RNC has used a racially charged ad in Tn to smear Harold Ford. It appealed to the baser instinct of fear and the lynch mob mentality of the Southern regions. These are the regions where the “Dixiecrats” abandoned the Democrats for the GOP with The Nixon era and there are thousands and thousands of people who viciously opposed civil rights.
For the insecure White southern male with the endowment complex the ad of a White Blonde women flirting with a Black man sends an ugly message of old stereotyping. That is why the lynchings ended with men being decapitated and their privates cut in the good old days of “freedom” and “southern values”.
IF they wanted to call Harold Ford a player why SELECTIVELY use a WHITE BLONDE ?
I have to ask those Republican holier than thou Hezbollah wing of the party “HAVE YOU NO SHAME SIR?” RNC is responsible for it.
Even here in Ok, interracial couples still get stares and I bet there are many people even on campus who have issues with multi ethnic America and I cannot believe the self-righteous have NOT condemned this ad more vocally. Attacking his policies and even his single bachelor image are game but WHY DELIBERATELY a white blonde.? The Tn redneck inbred racists combust with this sort of attitude.
TN is the place where at a Denny’s someone asked me If “this is together or separate checks” when I went with my wife where it was obvious to everyone we were a couple. That sort of fucked up attitude can be STILL found even here. Sad truth a lot of YOU don’t want to even consider isn’t it? It makes me sad and worried too.
I know both sides are going hammer and tongs to the finish line, but the Democrats don’t have any ads like that. And in PA the Sen.pRick Santorum is also resorting to fear tactics. It works for the borderline ignoramuses who are necessary to win. (the ones who still think Iraq was behind 9/11 and think we have many democratic Arab allies and who think Pakistan, Kuwait and Saudi Arabia are democracies!)
It was a sad day when VERY FEW could answer my bonus questions right on the issue of Iraq and Democracy. But that is EXACTLY what the Republicans want us to be. Ignorant and focus on the Wall or the Gays to forget their rank utter incompetence and immoral unchristian corruption and the arrogance that has become worse than the previous Dem held Congress. I don’t care which ideology or party is in power. The Cause of DEMOCRACY is served best when People who elect the leaders THROW out the bums EVERY few years lock stock and barrel REGARDLESS OF Their party affiliation. This is going to be an ugly election where both sides harp on the other sides weaknesses and the GOP excels at the fear factor. Dems are incompetent in that regard. They call themselves the moral values party? In the interest of full disclosure, I registered as an independent first and then changed to Dem BECAUSE OF THE utter incompetence and lying crusaders invading Iraq. If the Dems win, I will change back to Independent to keep freedom. Oh yeah build the wall and spy on us too by the way. Those apparently are ok now from the nation which told other nations NOT to torture, NOT to hold terrorist suspects in custody for too long and NOT to kill civilians in battles. Yes US and BRITAIN preached a lot to Sri Lanka about these “human rights” issues when there was torture and habeas corpus issues. Amen…..Hallelujah to the righteous right.(I know this first hand from my family members)Even in Sri Lanka despite terrorism and war, People throw out incumbents regularly.
