Democrats take early swing at GOP's likely candidate for governor

[NVMojo]

Democrats came out swinging Thursday, attacking the presumptive Republican nominee for governor a full year and a half before the election.

The Nevada Democratic Party is trying to use Rep. Jim Gibbons' own words against him.

"This is about making sure people don't forget what Jim Gibbons said," party spokesman Jon Summers said at a Thursday news conference to announce the placement of three billboards around the state attacking Gibbons.

Gibbons, through a spokeswoman, declined to comment.

Two billboards in Las Vegas and one in Reno take Gibbons to task for saying recently, "It's just too damn bad we didn't buy them a ticket" of people who wanted to be human shields in Iraq.

The Democratic Party also has a Web site, www.gibbonsfacts.com, that seeks to make Gibbons look bad.

1. This is exactly what we need to do

Good move Democrats, there are ways we can all attack the RW doing maneuvers like this.

15. Bet your bottom dollar the Howard Dean and his team are watching...

... and I predict that this very kind of tactic is going to work.

The obvious message is that Gibbons is a knuckledragging, red-baiting paleo-recationary. But the other message is that the Democrats are no longer the pink tutu party:

Democrats 2004



Democrats 2005

Remember, it's not the billboard itself; it's the buzz -- in local and national TV news, in state newspapers, on talk radio, in the state and national political arena, and even on the late night comedy shows and The Daily Show -- that gets the message propagated.

6. This is more like it...

[NVMojo]

7. be sure to check out the website the Nevada Dems have up on him too

http://www.gibbonsfacts.com/

This butthead runs around the state talking about how Bush won Nevada with Elko County's votes. Remember Bush only won by 21,000 and I still believe there was fraud involved.

If you want to help the NV Dems with their efforts, go to their website:

8. I love that ad.

I love the party being the opposition.

[NVMojo]

11. I'm donating too! I like a party with BALLS!!!

And it's about time!! And this is so real!!! Instead of the jerk lies Rove uses in his campaign strategy attacks.

On a local note, Gibbons and freeper followers are blowing gaskets on this one! Trying to figure out a way to sue the media!!!! The poor freeps forget that they control the media!! And, they forget that all is fair in love and war and when you spit shit on others, it flies back! Gibbons and Rove were part of the smear of Kerry in our state over Kerry putting gold miners out of work if he was elected!! This same crew brought Mr. Potatohead Cheney to our little butt screw town and did background checks and loyalty oaths for the 300 they let in to our local high school football team. It is time for America to sweep these whackjobs OUT!!!

[tinrobot]

10. In your face!

I LOVE IT! More ads like this, please.

I'm through playing nice. If they want to play dirty, well, let's get dirty.

[HEIL PRESIDENT GOD]

12. Yes, yes, YES

Hound them, from the minute their slimy little foreparts pop up from the muck, stomp them, crush them wherever they dare to show their putrid and corrupt forms to the light.

[snippy]

17. Outstanding! Don't hold back. n/t

[Mich Otter]

13. What the...?

Since when do Democrats come out fighting? Are they trying to win or what?
ANY REPUBLICAN who has the nerve to raise his or her ignorant head and run for ANY office, ought to be branded as Anti-American in his/her values, especially if they support Bush in any way.
They, as a party, do not support quality of life issues and do not stand for individual rights over corporate rights.

[NVMojo]

14. Mich, I was just as surprised and pleased when I came across this

info!! It's about damn time!! But the scary part is this ...

Nevada Dems don't want this WINGNUTT to be our Governor cuz it brings his whackjob ilk closer to home ...the really bad part is Nevada DEMS have NOT YET FOUND A CANDIDATE TO RUN FOR HIS HOUSE OF REPS POSITION AND HIS WHACKJOB CUTSIE WIFE IS CAMPAIGNING ALREADY TO RUN FOR HIS SEAT!!!

Dawn Gibbons will be meeting with KARL ROVE AND LAURA STEPFORD BUSH IN LAS VEGAS NEXT MONTH AND THE DEMS HAVE NOT DONE ONE DAMN THING TO STOP THIS FREEPER BIMBO!!

Ok, got that off my chest!

[deadparrot]

16. Kick for Dems with a backbone.

18. Great stuff, NVMojo

Man, I'd like to see this jerk lose. Good for the Nevada Democrats!

He's a plagiarist too dumb to write his own hate speech.

19. A web site that "seeks" to make Gibbons look bad? You mean a

[unkachuck]

25. Execllent!

....I love it, it's about time....

....here's a minor suggestion....at the bottom of the Gibbons' infopage please consider changing, 'Jim Gibbons' Record is Wrong for Nevada' to, 'Jim Gibbons' Ugly Scary Record is Dangerously Wrong for Nevada'....

....one look at Jims' cute face, has given me the willys....
