What is the US citizens association?
Edited on Tue Dec-08-09 10:39 PM by Juche
I was watching Olbermann and saw a commercial for this group.

The commercial was so over the top in its right wingery that I didn't know if it was a joke or what. How long have these commercials been on?

It was interesting though. 99% in chronic poverty. Job losses due to socialism (and not at all the result of the repeal of banking regulations or chronic middle class insecurity, of course)

3. Beyond offensive commercial.
I too saw this commercial and was beyond shocked at the not so
subtle innuendo that "they" African Americans are
taking over the White House, holding large parties for all
their friends, and depicting a young couple sitting on the
porch at a small round table, dressed in cocktail attire, with
the man holding the woman's chin in his hand and apparently
flirting. All of this while the narrator was talking about
poverty and socialism in the background.

To me this has little to do with right "wingery" and
everything to do with blatant racism. It was truly disgusting
and completely offensive. MSNBC owes it's viewing public an
apology and a promise to never run a commercial from this or
any similar organization in the future.
