Liberals really hate it when the truth is thrown at them, especially when the tactics used are the same kind they use to blast republicans.

Let’s see, who was it that created that “medicare” commercial with the little old lady being thrown off a cliff, which was a lie about republicans trying to cut benefits? That medicare ad was a complete fabrication, while the ad using the Asian lady was complete truth.

I don’t see the problem. The Asian girl had no problem making it.

I guess they just can’t handle the truth. Was listening to Mark Steyn today, filling in for Rush, and he was talking about how China said “they weren’t going to buy Europe”, or something of that nature.

Mark said 30 years ago that would have been scoffed at. Today? Not so much.

If you can't counter the message, counter the messenger.

If you can't counter the message or the messenger, blow up the stage and the auditorium.

Should have been one of Alinsky's rules, but he wasn't as smart as I am. Not that that's saying much.

The democrats are acting like rattler poked with a sharp stick. That ad must have struck where it hurts. I hope Hoekstra will not take it off. It is an effective ad!

Republican senatorial candidate Pete Hoekstra stirred the pot with a political ad that featured an Asian woman speaking broken English

Absolutely false. I've seen the ad and the woman speaks flawless English with hardly ANY accent at all. All this false outrage is beyond tedious.

Don't like it? Don't vote for Pete. But then, they weren't going to anyway.

I don’t think is was racist, but it didn’t seem very authentic, as the actress came across as a Chinese-American living in the U.S., not an actual Chinese citizen.

The broken English probably seemed more offensive because she was obviously fluent in English.

M.I.A. made an obscene gesture,

In a lame attempt to garner additional publicity....any publicity.

Aside from saying “get” for “gets”, this woman’s grammar is correct.

Which puts her in the 95th percentile of what you see on TV.

Saw it a couple of times today...GREAT commercial! They’re just upset because it’s TRUE.

Goodbye Spend-a-lot!
