The punches land as the narrator lists the groups of people West has supposedly wronged.

West said the ad reflects a "sad state of politics" in the country.
"The ad being run against me by my opponent's family depicting violence against women and senior citizens is reprehensible," West said. "It plays on stereotypes and fear to divide Americans, and it cheapens the very real and tragic occurrences of violence against women and seniors. The American people are suffering from crushing debt, horrific tax and regulatory policies, and epic unemployment. This classless ad shows a lack of regard for the issues plaguing our nation."
American Sunrise PAC, which ran the ad, is largely funded by Thomas Murphy Jr., the father of Democratic candidate Patrick Murphy. The elder Murphy contributed the lion's share -- $250,000 -- of donations to the PAC, which only exists to support Patrick Murphy in his bid for the Democratic nomination...

Only because it is.
And HOW did “the elder Murphy” manage to scrape together $250,000???
Morally, socialists only care about perception not substance....a la, Harry Reid, Pelosi....the list is too long.

This is substance, conservatism.
I like the man....nobodies perfect, but he’s far more solid than Romney.
Like when you said "Justice for Trayvon©" back in March, Congressman?
If the American voters don’t get a clue about this nonsense, I fear we are lost.
Surely people aren’t this stupid.
West should run an ad with pieces of this one in it..”remember this ad and remember the low life that ran it in Nov”.
You know who stepped on the necks of several women to get to the top?: Barack Obama.

Dang, did West say that Sarge?
Absolutely!
Wait....hold the phone.....are you trying to say West said “Justice for Trayvon!”?
Thanks for the lnk.
But it looks like it was from the original misinformation.
Maybe West climbed aboard that train initially. But from what I have read he has walked that back as more info came out.
I will admit. bad judgement on his part initially.
Nope..not saying that at all.
I was agreeing with Xpat in post #7 about a possible future ad campaign.
Berdie, if you have a link to West’s retraction, I’d be glad to see it.
But so far to date, I have seen no retraction, no explanation, not even a “No-you-dumb-cracker-this-is-what-I-meant” statement.
I’m not good at posting links..so this may or may not work, Sarge. But you are in the area and may have better info than I do. :)
West didn’t play the race card. I respect him for that.
However, I do hope some of his supporters do. Demscum are racsit beyond belief. That’s why they accuse us of being racist. It’s called projection.
Absolutely outrageous comments on his Facebook page. Worse than Obama’s at the time - about how GW ‘pursued’ Martin in violation of police orders and other nonsense like that.
He walked back from them a bit later on, but not nearly enough. I thought he would be man enough to really apologize - especially to Zimmerman, but I don’t think he ever did.
“Are you still beating your wife”
Typical Stalinist tactic.
And Obammy stays quiet on all of the smears from the Rats this year. So much for “bringing a new tone of civility to Washington”.
Obama lied, civility died.
