Griffin’s ‘Trump’ beheading in PAC ad for special election: ‘Liberals will go to any extreme’
Washington Times ^ | 6/2/17 | Douglas Ernst

Posted on 06/02/2017 11:48:22 AM PDT by markomalley

Comedian Kathy Griffin’s anti-Trump beheading “art” has worked its way into Georgia’s June 20 special election.

A battle between Republican Karen Handel and Democrat Jon Ossoff for Georgia’s 6th Congressional District heated up this week with an Islamic State-like execution photo shoot by Ms. Griffin. A Republican super PAC, Congressional Leadership Fund, released an ad Thursday tying Mr. Ossoff to his “celebrity supporter.”

“These angry liberals will go to any extreme to elect Jon Ossoff,” a narrator in the ad says. “There’s a reason 95 percent of Ossoff’s campaign donors are out-of-state liberals.”

The Ossoff campaign issued a statement demanding the ad, which airs in Atlanta, be taken down. CLF rebuffed the Democrat.

“The more Jon Ossoff complains about the [Griffin] ad, the more money we’ll spend broadcasting it across Georgia 6,” Corry Bliss, CLF’s executive director, told The Washington Examiner on Thursday.

Wouldn’t be surprised if Griffin sued for copyright infringement.

Yes, these people are THAT retarded and desperate.

Milo but not young at all.

and not good-looking.

And not witty.

the biggest contrast with MILO is her unrelenting obsequious pandering to her Bollywood bosses.

It's a textbook case of "fair use" and any attempted copyright lawsuit would never get off the ground.

I probably should do so. I’m told it will cut down on the calls and such. And in fact, it was Karen who said it, at a small group meeting I attended Wednesday!

Saw the add a day or so ago. From what I’ve read they are not sure if they will use it and know how chicken sh&it republicans can be I have my doubts it will ever hit tv here.

“Has Ossoff publically denounced Kathy Griffin? If not, why not?”

Oh, you bet he has! It was on the radio here today. Allegedly, Griffin liked a tweet from somebody who supports Ossoff. Social media is turning out to be a cruel mistress. Even if they can get the ad pulled, it only needs to run a few times. And it has.

But he should be made to do it repeatedly - like it is demanded of Republicans.

A good ad. Twet to Ruth Guerra to drop the brief Michael Moore b-roll flash (unnecessary, and with him in the red hat, a little confusing), and to add one more chyron at the end after the 95%, “And Ossoff doesn’t even live in your District”. Got to hammer that home.

media here is campaigning 24/7 for his election

On my TV on several channels the punch line of Ossoff's negative ads lingers in the bottom left corner through all the other ads for insurance, etc but disappears when the program comes back on. I wondered if it was just my TV. But then I saw exactly the same thing picking up a pizza. What's up with that?

I know the Democrats have already committed vote fraud. They have had several low-level party employees already indicted for it, in Texas.

I don't know much about Georgia, it's true.

But I don't need to know anything about Georgia to know that a political party that would get behind Kathy Griffin's hateful image is a party that's capable of anything. There's no limit to how low they will go, including murder, including mass murder if they can get away with it.
