Pelosi Is Wicked Witch in 'Wizard of Oz' Campaign Ad
The Atlantic Wire ^ | 09/13/2010 | Erik Hayden

Posted on 09/13/2010 3:04:33 PM PDT by speciallybland

In March, the conservative-leaning pollsters at WND/Wenzel had GOP congressional candidate John Dennis garnering a meager 22 percent of the vote against House Majority Leader Nancy Pelosi. Perhaps that accounted for his campaign's decision to go all-in with a bizarrely rendered "Wizard of Oz" ad that depicts his opponent as the Wicked Witch, the IRS as her "flying monkeys," Dorothy and friends as the helpless voters and, of course, John Dennis as the hero.

The most immediate comparison to this "hackneyed" campaign ad would probably be fellow Californian Carly Fiorina's "demon sheep ad" this spring. And yes, to spoil the ending, John Dennis offs "Nancy Pelosi" by dousing her water, causing her to melt and Dorothy to rejoice.

I’m guessing she gets less than 60 %, which is something in itself, given her leftist district.

Maybe it’s just me, but I liked it. It was cute and the casting couldn’t have been better if they had the real Nancy playing her part. LOL & LOLA

Genius

So if Nancy Pelosi is the Wicked Witch of the West, is Sarah Palin the Good Witch of the North?

I thought it was a bit over-the-top, but it was funny and imaginative.

In Pelosi's district, it won't make a bit of difference. Nancy could get caught in just about any scandal and she would still be elected -- she called in a lot of political favors to represent one of the many US Congressional districts that would vote Democrat if Vladimir Lenin himself was on the ballot.

If the video went viral, it might help other Republicans. However, I wouldn't suggest that other Republican candidates distribute it -- leave it to the grassroots (hint, hint).

Some libtard in the comments is already calling it racist because of the flying monkeys....lol. Who is more racist...the person using a well known flying money scene from the Wizard Of Oz or the libtard who is always reminded of black people everytime they see the word ‘monkey’? I think we know the answer.
