• Republican candidate airs racially charged ‘Debbie Spenditnow’ ad during Super Bowl
    52 replies, posted
[quote] A Super Bowl ad for U.S. Senate candidate Pete Hoekstra uses an Asian woman speaking in broken English to accuse his rival, Democratic incumbent Debbie Stabenow, of helping the Chinese economy. “Thank you Michigan Senator Debbie Spenditnow,” the woman says in the 30-second ad as she rides her bike through a rice paddy field. “Debbie spends so much American money, you borrow more and more, from us. You’re economy get very weak, ours get very good. We take your jobs. Thank you Debbie Spenditnow.” Hoekstra then appears in a new frame, saying, “I think this race for Michigan Senate is between Debbie ‘spend-it-now’ and Pete ‘spend-it-not.’” His $150,000 ad buy begins in Michigan during the Super Bowl and will run for two weeks. It is not the first time conservatives have used fears of a rising communist China in advertisements. During his campaign in 2011, Rep. Mark Amodei (R-NV) ran an ad that depicted the Chinese army marching on the U.S. Capitol, thanks to President Barack Obama raising the federal debt limit. Another ad produced by the conservative group Citizens Against Government Waste showed a Chinese professor in the year 2030 explaining that Americans now “work for us” because of U.S. debt. In a statement, Hoekstra’s explains that the ad contrasts his “penny pinching agenda” with the “big-spending policies” of Stabenow. But the Michigan Democratic Party released its own ad on Sunday, which highlights Hoekstra record of spending while serving in the U.S. House from 1993 until 2011. “Hoekstra’s attempt at a Hollywood-style makeover is incredibly hypocritical because the fact is, Pete spends a lot,” said Mark Brewer, Chairman of the Michigan Democratic Party. “Hoekstra voted for the $700 billion Wall Street bailout and voted for trillions more in deficit spending before quitting Congress to get rich at a Washington, D.C. lobbying firm,” he added. “Hoekstra is using the big game to play games with Michigan voters, covering up his real record on deficit spending and rigging the rules for the big money insiders he serves.”[/quote] [url]http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2012/02/05/republican-candidate-airs-racially-charged-debbie-spenditnow-ad-during-super-bowl/[/url] [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kxw4uZAezaI&feature=player_embedded[/media] [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KsiE_8nqDMg&feature=player_embedded[/media]
Fuck you Pete.
Gotta admit, it's kind of funny.

So he managed to be racist and call his opponent a commie in the same breath. You know, that's pretty impressive, I didn't think he had the brains to multitask.
Republicans being racist
Thank you for that second commercial which subsequently took him down a notch.

Ah, that's my former Congressman. Good to see he's moved out of the backyard. Of course not really. I'd rather him sit in the Republican Christian circle-jerk that is Holland than screw up the good parts of Michigan.

On a lighter note, that woman was pretty cute.

Michigan has had some good politicians over the years, he is not one of them.
Why is politics about 'HEY LOOK AT HOW BAD THESE GUYS ARE' instead of 'HEY LOOK AT HOW GOOD I AM'?

Funny how that recent study that proved that people with lower intellect are more likely to be conservatives was just proven in practice.
I know he is racist and I don't know the validity of the vid, but I didn't see the "Now" ad as [b]racist[/b]. Now if she had buck-teeth and went ching chong ching....
