Democrats blast Breitbart Nancy Pelosi posters By: Tal Kopan April 7, 2014 02:04 PM EDT

Democrats are slamming an ad campaign from Breitbart to promote its new California coverage that features a graphic illustration of House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi’s face on a scantily clad woman’s body in a suggestive position.

“To say the least, the Breitbart News ad is foul, offensive, and disrespectful to all women,” Democratic National Committee Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz said in a statement. “It is a disgusting new low and would be reprehensible against any woman – regardless of party.”

The conservative news outlet launched its California coverage Monday with an ad campaign featuring a series of image illustrations, including the Pelosi one, which appeared to combine her image with one of pop star Miley Cyrus’s infamous Video Music Awards performance, and a graphic of Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg’s head on the torso of a woman with exposed breasts, save for carefully placed Breitbart logos.

The ads made a splash online, with several commentators noting on Twitter that the image of the House Democratic leader especially crossed a line.

This is truly appalling. #cancelbreitbart RT @RT @elisefoley: The people at Breitbart appear to have gone insane http://t.co/n8qEXo0zwn — Ana Marie Cox (@anamariecox) April 7, 2014

Not an appropriate photoshop of Pelosi… RT @elisefoley: The people at Breitbart appear to have gone insane http://t.co/ReeSfewbe4 — Amanda Terkel (@aterkel) April 7, 2014

Wasserman Schultz pinned the image on Republicans and called for them to speak out against the image.

If the ad was geared to a market other than California, it might not be in the best taste-but since it is the Cali market, I think it just fits right in-all the ads there that really get looked at make that one look tame...

That photo, along with a lot of others, was taken in 1951, when Nancy Patricia D’Alesandro (Pelosi) was 11 years old.

Now this is more like it, no photoshop, actual photo. As the saying goes “it writes itself”. Are those ear rings tire chains?

As Nancy Pelosi was born in 1940, that means she was 15 years old in this Miss Lube Rack of 1955 photo.

Those were my words up until a year ago. Did not work, no advances were made. I’M ok with fighting on their level because I know who I am and that’s not going away.

Kind off a cross between bringing in the 1st Calv, and resurrecting Lee Atwater, of which Andrew might have been the closets thing we have seen to a politico with Lee's Moxie...

Let us see if it works or backfires. FWIW, the RNC has not been responding with comity, but more like they are comatose...

Miley Cyrus should be the one that is upset with the poster.

The left cannot withstand being the punchline.

And they have no compunction about unloading similar or worse stuff on conservatives. Staying "above the fray" ain't working, so pour it on.

“We” did not come up with this. Breitbart did. Let the Dems scream all they want. I don’t remember them screaming about the BushHitler cartoons. Or when they call Black conservatives “Uncle Tom” or when they persecuted Palin etc. etc. Oh, BTW wasn’t there some Democrat that wanted Palin raped?

Now they want to get indignant. As do you.

I don’t care one way or another what Breitbart says or how he portrays Democrats. They deserve that and more. Just sayin’......

Somehow Wassermn-Schultz is starting to look like a cuttlefish.
