Governor Rick Scott releases an attack ad on a private citizen who yelled at him in a Starbuck - General

[video=youtube;mXYzgTLoQjY]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mXYzgTLoQjY[/video] [video=youtube;wwRx8-Hjlk0]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wwRx8-Hjlk0[/video] Many people on his FB thought it was not the appropriate way to respond...

comments and ratings disabled on his video, heh

what kinda petty shit lmfao

Holy shit how insecure can you be?

She should have called him a bald asshole too so the video would explain that male pattern baldness is caused by excess testosterone and that he is in fact, very manly and not "A bald, reptilian"

I'm glad they could take the time out of their day to refute a viral video? They didn't even address the main issue she was screaming at him about, which is how he's cut off women's access to healthcare. Nice that they totally deflected THAT point in their video. Rick Scott is a turd. Edited: $10 bucks that in a few days a video will pop up that says: "This online malcontent called Governor Rick Scott a turd, but who IS this guy?"

I mean, the add just used the well-known video and gave some perspective to people who saw it and went along with the woman. The add doesn't even name her.

rick scott representing my home state well!! never thought you could do an attack ad on a citizen but eh I guess you can. weird to do it but whatever floats his boat.

Everyone involved in this looks like a child imo.

What perspective is needed from the original video? What value does this contribute, other than to point out that Rick Scott hears "people are dying because they cannot access healthcare" and outputs "jobs jobs jobs jobs jobs"? It's a vicious attack against some woman who wields absolutely no political influence or power. This is a sitting politician punching down because he was so intimated by meeting someone who opposes him. [editline]8th April 2016[/editline] A public official used corporate money raised by an independent organization to field an attack ad against a citizen that confronted him in a coffee shop and I guess this is okay because you oppose obamacare and he opposes obamacare.

I don't agree with what he did in any way, I'm just saying that it was made apparent that she isn't just an average citizen and there's probably some legality involved concerning her previous post that made the ad legal in a way that it might not had she been just a citizen that hadn't been a government official. But without more information all you can do is speculate, I doubt it'll be brought to court though.

I don't know if the ad is legal or not, but I'm willing to bet it's legal. It's still absolutely disgusting. How is she not an average citizen? She used to work in a school, now she doesn't?

[QUOTE=Raidyr;50097301]She used to work in a school, now she doesn't?[/QUOTE] And where are you getting this information?

[QUOTE=soulharvester;50097319]And where are you getting this information?[/QUOTE] Former government official who refused to say the pledge of allegiance, so I'm assuming it's in a public school setting of some sort. Either way being a retired government official kinda defaults you to "average citizen" presumably working a private sector job. [editline]8th April 2016[/editline] Former city commissioner, now a "longterm lake worth activist" [QUOTE][URL]http://www.palmbeachpost.com/news/news/state-regional/cara-jennings-lake-worth-activist-confronts-gov-sc/nqzWj/[/URL] [/QUOTE] Still doesn't warrant a fucking PAC-funded attack ad tho.

I never said it does, my only argument was that it's probably technically legal in a way that it wouldn't be to a regular citizen who had never been a government official. I'm not saying or agreeing with his attack ad whatsoever, if you read my comment in context it was specifically referring to someone saying they didn't think you could run an attack ad on a regular citizen, which it's been made clear she's not. Your reading way more into what I'm saying than what I actually said.

I still went to Dallas Stars games not for the game itself, but the time Rick Perry showed up and everyone collectively booed him out. Now only if Ted Cruz came.
