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.

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

Very stupid image, considering how (rightfully) angry we were about the Left’s disgusting caricatures of Sarah Palin.

There's an old saying:

Don't get mad -- get even.

The Left does not care that they make us angry. The are overjoyed at upsetting us. Time to turn things around.

She is mislabeled. The text on her shirt names the wrong bodily orifice.

And it's not funny, which I'm guessing must have been the intent. I suppose if BreitbartCA is mostly looking to attract knuckle-draggers and 12-year-old boys, they might be on to something.

I think these Pelosi images are much funnier, and don't rely on bathroom humor.

Time was beauty contests could be a fixed thing. One “judge” at such events (former carnival barker who moved into movie hype and eventually filmmaking) said that he had to be ready to leave the scene when city “fathers” (the guys who ran the town) would rig a contest so that the homely daughter of some connected guy won the title. The crowd could tell something wasn’t on the level some nights.
