Reepers aiming TV ads on abortion and Iraq at African Americans

The lengths white right-wing conservatives will go to try and play African-American voters for fools is literally breathtaking.

Last month, it was the Washington-based National Black Republican Association which started running radio ads in Maryland holding Democrats responsible for Jim Crow laws, the KKK, and releasing vicious dogs and fire hoses on blacks during the Civil Rights era. "Republicans freed us from slavery and put our right to vote in the Constitution," the ads said.

This month, it's a new set of ads — running in more than two dozen congressional districts nationwide — sponsored by a political action committee called "America's Pac," which is a project of the very wealthy (and very white) Patrick Rooney. I honestly didn't think the right could be this disgusting.

"Black babies are terminated at triple the rate of white babies," a female announcer in one of the ads says, as rain, thunder, and a crying infant are heard in the background. "The Democratic Party supports these abortion laws that are decimating our people, but the individual's right to life is protected in the Republican platform. Democrats say they want our vote. Why don't they want our lives?"

Another ad features a dialogue between two men.

"If you make a little mistake with one of your ‘hos,' you'll want to dispose of that problem tout suite, no questions asked," one of the men says.

"That's too cold. I don't snuff my own seed," the other replies.

"Maybe you do have a reason to vote Republican," the first man says.

Another ad suggests opposition to the war in Iraq is inherently racist.

Another spot attempts to link Democrats to a white supremacist who served as a Republican in the Louisiana Legislature, David Duke. The ad makes reference to Duke's trip to Syria last year, where he spoke at an anti-war rally.

"I can understand why a Ku Klux Klan cracker like David Duke makes nice with the terrorists," a male voice in the ad says. "What I want to know is why so many of the Democrat politicians I helped elect are on the same side of the Iraq war as David Duke."

Absolutey despicable.

3. The radio ads are playing here in Cincinnati, Ohio.

I hear them all the time on the black talk radio station here.

They even have one saying how it was a bad thing that Democrats voted against the privatization of social security.

:crazy:

They sound so ridiculous that I just can't see how anyone can take them seriously.

4. If that's what they think will appeal...

to African-Americans...*shakes head* Yeah, ads calling black women 'hos and implying that black men are promiscuous are sure to do the trick. :eyes:

6. and "snuffing out my seed"?

Where's the black woman in this decision? And what happens when more than one of his "ho's" gets pregnant at the same time.

This is despicable.

10. That's one of the questions I was asking myself as I read this post...

But another one is: If they are trying to stop abortions, why use men in the ads, shouldn't they be aiming for the women?

12. I guess in the Republican worldview, men make these decisions.

And women submit.

5. Wow - THE REPUBLICAN PLATFORM ???

Forced Abortion
Forced Prostitution

What a great political party

[ecstatic]

7. Abortions increased under republican rule

this needs to be shouted from the rooftops. Abortions increased! Where's the proof you ask? Look for it (but you won't find it because the data wasn't collected..hmm wonder why!!!???)

8. I honestly don't think that most black people are dumb enough

to beleive in this crap. Most of the black people that I have grown up and have associated with are very politically aware. Especially the ones that work at the GM plant here in my town. They are very much Democratic voters.

If my best friend since high school and who is black would probably laugh and say that these ads are crazy.

The ones that are my mom's dialysis buddies would probably laugh their asses off, and I KNOW my sister's friends would both be offended and probably laugh at the silliness of it all.

9. This says much more about Reeper racism.

I'd be ashamed to be associated with a party that thinks these ads are a good way to spend money.

11. "Mistake with one of your ho's"?

You do, indeed, have a reason to vote Republican -- if that's how you talk about women.
