Meg Whitman brags about being anti-AZ law....ONLY IN SPANISH TV ADS!

[K8-EEE]

LOL, hey Meg SAY IT IN AMERICAN so all the teabaggers can hear ya!! Also claims to have been "against prop 187" which was an anti-immigrant thing here in CA a few years back, but I don't know if there's anything to back that up.

Apparently the strategy is to be "tough on immigration" in the English ads and anti-discrimination in the Spanish ads. L-A-M-E.

1. Who the hell is advising her? This will turn around and bite her. nt

2. It is called talking out of your ass and mouth at the same time

The same feces comes out of both holes.

4. I think "The Internets" make this kind of game a lot harder

than it was for the BushCo 2000 era...I really think that thing of "acting moderate" among the general public and rabid RW to select groups, ten years later, youtube has done a number to that very Rovian tactic!

3. She is counting on the stupidity of the teabagger crowd

The sad thing is....she pretty much CAN count on their stupidity! The elitist corporate interests are behind Meg so they will never bring this up in the insular world of FoxNews...

9. well evidently she thinks the Hispanic population are

stupid too. Man - I guess the joke's on her!

5. VERY tough talk on her website

She's FOR what SHE calls "comprehensive" reform--but "100% opposed to any form of amnesty".

Here are the highlights from her immigration issue-page (heavy on border enforcement, including use of NG):

7. Hey funny how none of that made it to the Spanish ad! nt

[K8-EEE]

8. I can't find ANY of that on the Spanish part of her site!

Man, how dumb does she think people are?

11. You can underestimate voters only up to a point--and she just crossed it

The Brown campaign should distribute bi-lingual copies of this throughout the state and put money into TV and radio spots showing how two-faced Meg is with voters. Hispanic communities may be a priority target, but--as much garbage as people normally tolerate from pols--even non-Hispanics will have a negative reaction to such BLATANT dishonesty.

GO JERRY!

12. I agree! He should make a point of saying he says the same thing

in any language unlike his opponent.

6. OMG!!! The billionaire trying to buy the government just shot herself in the foot!

[Sebastian Doyle]

10. It's not like the teabaggers would know what her Spanish speaking ads were saying

even if they did watch "them forriner channels" :rofl:

[deacon]

13. Kick!

[hvn_nbr_2]

14. "I was against prop. 187. I wished it ill while I didn't vote on it."

Somehow I don't think she'll be saying that in an ad, in Spanish or any other language. But maybe Jerry Brown should say it in an ad.
