RUSH: You've got to hear this next ad. It's an ad that Democrats are running against Jim Talent in Missouri. They are using children to make you think that Jim Talent wants people to die.
BOY: Next summer, I'm going on a camping trip with my friends. On my way home, I'll be in a car accident and I'll be paralyzed for the rest of my life.
WOMAN: In 20 years I'll have Alzheimer's. I won't recognize my husband or my kids.
LITTLE GIRL: This week my mommy and daddy are going to find out that I have diabetes.
WOMAN: This is my Senator.
LITTLE GIRL: Senator Jim Talent.
BOY: He voted against stem cell research.
WOMAN: Is he a doctor?
BOY: Is he a scientist?
WOMAN: Why did Senator Talent bet my life that he knows best?
BOY: Help me.
LITTLE GIRL: Help me.
WOMAN: Who knows? Maybe I'm your mother.
BOY: Maybe I'm your grandson.
GIRL: Maybe I'm your little girl.
WOMAN: How do you know I'm not you?
BOY: Stem cell research could save lives, maybe yours or your family's. Someone you love. Only Senator Talent said no. [sic]
LITTLE GIRL: How come he thinks he gets to decide who lives and who dies. Who is he?
SHILL: The Media Fund is responsible for the content of this advertising.
RUSH: Now, this is a typical Democrat ad. This is just despicable. It is tasteless. It is misleading. It is factually wrong. Jim Talent is not "against stem cell research." He doesn't want to "criminalize" anybody who engages in stem cell research. He is all for adult stem cell research. He is all for cord blood research on stem cells. I hate to tell those of you in the listening audience here who have hope that you have been sold a bill of goods. Embryonic stem cell research has led to nothing; other forms of stem cell research have -- and I just want to be as honest with you as I can about this. The whole embryonic stem cell research project is a federal money grab. There isn't any private sector money.
Well, there is. I actually looked this up. There's something like $40 million that's been donated over the years (which is peanuts, by the way) to embryonic stem cell research. In terms of the private sector, venture capitalists, people that invest money for profit rather than for political purposes, there's no money in it, because it doesn't show any promise. So that's why these people are making a move on federally funded embryonic stem cell research, so they can open the federal bank and the vault and let anybody under the guise of "research" stick their hands in, and of course the money in that vault is yours, via taxes. This is exactly why I had the reaction to the Michael J. Fox ad that I had. This is below and beyond the pale.
This is absolutely mean. It is misleading, and it creates false impressions in people at the same time it gives them false hope. I can't think of a civilized word that described my emotions when I heard this ad. I have only heard it. I haven't seen it. I imagine if I saw it I would be even angrier, but just listening to the dialogue, the audio of this ad is infuriating. It, to me, depicts the absolutely subhuman levels that Democrats and liberals will descend to in order to tug at your emotional heart strings because the last thing they want you doing is thinking about this, and to try once again to say: Your little girl's going to get diabetes if Jim Talent is elected! Your grandmother's going to get Alzheimer's! (Note they didn't put Parkinson's in here.)
Your little girl's going to get diabetes. You're going to get Alzheimer's. You're going to be in a car accident and be paralyzed for the rest of your life. Look at the way these people look at life. Look at the future they see for you. It's just, "Help me! Help!" It's just a shameless and despicable ploy, and the point of it all is that all of these horrible things are going to happen to you, and you're stuck if Jim Talent gets elected. Now, does anybody, anywhere, think that any political candidate anywhere wants sick people to stay sick? You need to ask yourself -- when you hear rot, garbage, drivel, and bilge like this -- is there a political candidate anywhere that wants anybody to stay sick, to get sick, to get Alzheimer's, to have an automobile accident and be paralyzed? Is there any political candidate that wants this? If your reason and common sense are answering "no," well, then ask yourself why in the hell is this ad put together? It's time to question the people doing these ads rather than the candidates about whom they're speaking. This is just excrement, folks. This is just plain old excrement. Here's a new ad, by the way -- audio #14 -- from the Democrat Congressional Campaign Committee. That would be Rahm Emanuel.
(Sappy music)
BOY: Dad? When I grow up, is there still going to be a war in Iraq?
FATHER: No.
BOY: Because people are going to make them stop?
FATHER: Yeah. They're going to make them stop.
BOY: Well, what about other things, like the world getting too hot, or spending so much money that there won't be any left when I get older?
FATHER: You don't have to worry about that stuff.
BOY: Because you're going to take care of it?
(violin strings)
DEMOCRAT SHILL WOMAN: What are you going to tell your children you did?
DEMOCRAT SHILL MAN: Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee is responsible for the content of this advertising.
RUSH: So they've trotted out the children. You can't assail children! You can't attack them. Oh, no, no, no! They're harmless, lovable. We all love the children!
"Dad, when I grow up is there still going to be a war in Iraq?"
"No."
"Because people are going to make them stop?"
"Yeah."
"Well, what about other things, like the world is getting too hot, or spending so much money there won't be any left for me?"
This represents the peak of liberal intellectualism today, and it makes it plain that you have nothing to do with your son's future. The Democrats don't want you concluding that, but I'm going to tell you, that's what they want you to conclude. You have no hope, and your kid has no hope. Whatever the future holds, you don't have enough to do about it. You don't have enough brains or power. Only the Democrats can make sure your son, your kid's future is okay.
Are you leaving it up to any politician for your kid to be okay, folks?
Let me just ask you this. Are you leaving it up to your political party? Do you talk to your kids? Say, "You know, son, I know you'll go to college because Democrats will get you a loan. Son, I don't think you're going to be able to go to college if the Republicans are in power. They'll deny you a place at the university." Who is it that runs all these universities that's got tuition sky high to the point that nobody can afford them? It's the Democrats!
"Son, you don't have a prayer surviving an automobile accident if Jim Talent is elected. Mom, you're going to get Alzheimer's in 20 years. There's nothing we can do about it because Republicans are in power."
That's the Democrat message.
The 'RATS have been playing some pretty hateful "ads" here in Arizona too. Their boss Georgie Soros wants control of the Congress pretty bad. I guess if I spent the money he has on this election, I'd be demanding results too.
Why do you use this expression to indicate dissatisfaction with this ad?
This name represents to thousands of Americans their Lord, their salvation, and their beliefs. Why, what macho thing is their about using the Lord's name in vain?
Normally on election day, I wait til after work to go vote. But, not this year I can't wait to vote straight Republican. Just 3 years ago that would have been a horrifying thought to me. But, Demonrats have shown their true colors and this ad is disgusting. I wish I could vote for Talent, but I will instead be happy to vote all Republican in Minnesota.
I also heard this ad on Rush today, as did my almost ten-year-old son.
He now knows how to define the word 'hypocrisy.'
The party of death knows no bounds.
the Koskids will be wiping Soro's sperm off their chins once again.
Daughter: What did you do back in 2006, Daddy?
Father: I voted Democrat. Now shut up and put your burqa on. ALLAHU AKBAR!
Son: I lost my job because Al Queda set of a dirty nuke in the Financial District. What can I do?
Father: Go out and beat up a few Jews, or set a bus on fire. ALLAHU SNACKBAR!!
I'd love to hear that ad on the radio....
I'm surprised it didn't, because Jim Tallant voted against stem cell research.
How ironic, coming from the Party of Death (fighting for the right to kill unborn children with impunity, fighting to protect the "rights" of terrorists on our soil so they can plot the killing of Americans unfettered, fighting to sabotage the war on terrorism, fighting to "euthanize" (murder) the weak, ill, and helpless, fighting to ignore Israel's plight, fighting to allow dangerous felons out on the streets to molest and kill again....shall I go on?)
Hello, kettle? This is the Democratic party...you're black.
Agreed. It makes me so angry that they call it 'stem cell' research when they really mean 'embryonic' stem cell research and hurry, sell us your eggs so more grandmas and little kids don't have to die. When in reality, real stem cell research, using adult cells harvested safely from adults, even from the person in need themselves, is being horribly underfunded, pushed aside, attributed as something the desperate, 'anti-abortion' folks hang on to, to avoid 'reality'. Yet adult stem cell research has shown promising results over and over during the last decade (and I was introduced, in part, to the errors of embryonic stem cell research several years ago during a course on Development taught by an admittedly leftie professor who was horrified at the results of the tests to date).
I don't think they will either. I really feel this will backfire BIG-TIME on the rats.
I really like Missouri and have considered calling it home one of these days. But some of these people need a good kick in the pants for even airing such a tasteless commercial.
I agree. In all my years of working in and observing politics, it was the single most reprehensible ad I have ever seen, worse than the Daisy ad. Even worse than the one described here.
