Spanish-Language Ad Calls Tea Party "Radical Terrorists"
Breitbart ^ | Nov. 2, 2014 | Sarah Rumpf

Posted on 11/03/2014 6:13:18 PM PST by River Hawk

AUSTIN, Texas -- The Bexar County Democratic Party has launched a controversial Spanish-language ad during the final week before the November 4 elections, calling tea party Republicans "radical terrorists." The ad begins showing the American and Mexican flags, with a male narrator saying in Spanish that the flags represent "friendship, liberty, opportunity, and justice," then showing a Gadsden flag with its famous "Don't Tread on Me" motto. The Gadsden flag, which the ad calls "muy peligrosa," or "very dangerous," was designed in 1775 during the American Revolution and has since been adopted as a symbol by various libertarian and tea party groups. The ad then proceeds to call tea party Republicans "radical terrorists" while showing images of militia members holding guns and wearing camouflage, threatening "our children and families with violence and firearms," urging viewers to "¡Voto Demócrata!" The full text of the ad, in English: "These two flags represent friendship, liberty, opportunity and justice. This flag is very dangerous. It is the flag of the Republicans of the Tea Party. They are radical terrorists who want to take matters into their own hands, affecting our children and families with violence and firearms on the border and in our cities. This Tuesday, November 4th, is the day of the election and it’s the only time we can make our voice count. For our common good, Vote Democrat!" Bexar County Democratic Party Chairman Manuel Medina admitted his organization was responsible for the ad, and claimed credit himself for creating it. Medina went even further in an interview with the San Antonio Express-News, saying, "The tea party is not a political party. They're a terrorist organization." The Express-News also reported that the ad was running on Univision, paid for by a $25,000 donation from personal injury attorney Thonas J. Henry.

What if the tea party produced an ad that referred to the wetbacks as “flea-infested rodents that need to get their butts back across that border, pronto”?

Do you think a San Antonio station would carry it?

If Americans are such "radical terrorists", why are these lowlife, freeloading maggots killing themselves trying to come here? Hmmmm? Morons.

Talking with Hispanics, one message does resonate with them: Liberal policies turned their countries of origin into dumpster fires. They can agree on that because they lived it.

The failure of their country of origin to provide them an environment in which they can thrive, can be reduced to this truth:

The inability or unwillingness to execute justice.

If conservatives can get a message to them along those lines, it will resonate.

Most immigrants nowadays don’t come for freedom, they come here for the money. They are natural liberals.

They aren’t calling Americans terrorists. They are only referring to Americans that are not ok being leeched off of. They adore the white guilt, amnesty for all, it’s an act of love, guns are scary, government is great Americans. Of course, those types truly aren’t Americans at all. I guess they do think all true Americans are terrorists!

Mexicans, for example, don’t come to the U.S. because they are disenchanted with Mexican socialism. They want the socialim, they just want a more efficient socialism. And they still consider themselves Mexicans. All the polls indicate that the Majority of Hispanics are Big Government Liberals.

I totally get that. But you can engage them with a message that they have not heard. I have done it very successfully; acknowledging there are groups you will never be able to reach until reality hits them square.

But the central issue is: no one is even trying to reach them. They will go demorat by default.

So do Hispanics have separate interests from those of other Americans?
If the answer is no, then what’s the big deal? Appeal to them like everybody else.
If the answer is no, then maybe we need to spell out the differences. Maybe non-Hispanics ought ot have a say in teh future of this country.

Correction, in the last sentence “if the answer is no” should be “if the answer is yes”. Sorry.

This person, Thonas J. Henry, IS the enemy. Why a group does not go after this guy beats my four aces.

If the TEA Party really were “radical terrorists,” aholes like Manuel Medina and Thomas J. Henry would be swinging from a rope.

But they aren’t swinging, because we’re not “terrorists.”

The TEA Party should sue these losers for libel.

“Why a group does not go after this guy beats my four aces.”

Because Republicans will not fight, they will not go for the jugular, they will not defend their base.
We need a new party.
