Is it just me, or at the end did he have a twang in “I will protect your jobs”?

It sounded like that South Park episode where people screamed “they took our jobs!”

I actually saw this ad a couple of weeks ago. Vernon Robinson is definitely a piece of work. In a previous campaign, he was criticized by the local paper, which described him with the line “Jesse Helms is back, but this time he’s black.” Robinson took that line and ran with it as his tagline, apparently ignoring the negative aspect of being identified with Jesse Helms (even in NC).

What is fascinating is that all the disappointed job-seeokers are white, and the white-hands-crumpling-the-letter image is directly from Helms’ advertising 20 years ago. All the traditional angst about black folks taking white people’s jobs has been neatly displaced onto the illegal aliens.

You don’t see a black person until you see the candidate himself (as in “he is a minority, he can say the sort of racist shit we white folks can not say… lets elect him!”)

An outstanding bit of marketing, as nasty and low as it is.

Here is the link: (I guess everything IS on Youtube!)

Wow! I’m floored by that. How could someone actually campaign like this?

I think you are wrong about the Dems, though, Brad. I’d rather no Democrat ever win another election than for them to be affiliated with any garbage like this. We’ve got to have a conscience first and win elections second.

I kinda like the shot of the crotch-grabbing guy. “Hey, whitey! I got yer job right here!”

That’s a very informative ad! I never realized the Republican controlled Congress had put a law demanding that illegal aliens burn the flag up to vote. You learn something new everyday.

Many of the illegals are homosexuals.

Looks like Ol’ Vernon got the jump on you there, Gary:

In one North Carolina congressional district, for instance, Republican challenger Vernon Robinson has aired a radio ad attacking Democratic Representative Brad Miller with mariachi music playing in the background: “Brad Miller supports gay marriage and sponsored a bill to let American homosexuals bring their foreign homosexual lovers to this county on a marriage visa. If Miller had his way, America would be nothing but one big fiesta for illegal aliens and homosexuals.” Miller voted against the Federal Marriage Amendment in 2004, saying the matter should be left to the states.

I think you are wrong about the Dems, though, Brad. I’d rather no Democrat ever win another election than for them to be affiliated with any garbage like this. We’ve got to have a conscience first and win elections second.

Yeah, but Dems have to get much better at negative ads. Take down the Repub candidates with extreme, full-throated snark. Hell, look at how well a number of blogs, like this one, do that over and over again.

Vernon Robinson is clearly the Stephen Colbert of politicians. How else do you explain a campaign based on “Immigrants are burning our flag”?

Brad Miller personally brings atheist Mexican prostitutes to North Carolina and gives them taxpayer-funded jobs making gay condoms out of American flags.

Flammable gay condoms, no less.

Many of the illegals are homosexuals.

Which means they won’t breed and clog the welfare system. I think you’re getting your howling wingnut memes mixed up again, Gar-bot.

Many people named Gary are homosexual.

I dunno Bradrocket, this negative ad sounds like parody. By every single GOP-approved smear line, it’s overkill played like the Naked Gun sequence where the Ricardo Montebon is killed, then trampled by the USC band.

Maybe my redneck antennae isn’t as attuned as it used to be, but I don’t know if they’ll find comfort in a negra hating some of the same folk as they do — it takes the fun out of it.

Oh Gods, my pagan communist can hardly contain it’s laughter:

He’s just looking out for his constiuency, illegals take the crappy jobs that usually only blacks will do, and he needs to look out for his peeps.

Academy grad–explains alot.

my favorite part was where the sign saying “help wanted: bi-lingual” made the little girl cry. That was awesome.

I love how the blame is always on the illegals, like Mexicans are sneaking over the border and taking away middle-management jobs at knifepoint.

“You needed that strawberry picking job, but the guy running it would rather pay some guy who can’t report him to anyone 50 cents a day to work 16 hours with no break. Dratted illegals!”

Hey, here’s a wacky idea…instead of spending so much money, time, energy and emotion “protecting our borders”, howzabout busting the ever-living fuck out of anyone who knowing employs illegal aliens, like to the tune of them losing their fucking businesses if they’re caught, oh, let’s say twice. If there are no jobs for them to “take”, maybe the illegal Mexiislamohomofacists will go bother Canada with their tasty foods and cool music and smokin’ hot women.

What’s incredible is that Robinson, a black man, doesn’t hesitate to use an ad which is basically an homage to one of the most notoriously racist ads ever — the infamous Jesse Helms “White Hands” ad, in which a white man’s hands crumple a rejected job application while a voiceover intones, “You needed that job…but they had to give it to a minority.”

Just another Foleyesque hypocrite of a Republican.

“help wanted: bi-lingual� made the little girl cry. That was awesome.

Seriously this has to be a pardoy, like an American version of Borat running for office.

He’s just looking out for his constiuency, illegals take the crappy jobs that usually only blacks will do, and he needs to look out for his peeps.

So instead of perhaps, say, improving working conditions for African-Americans, or promoting economic growth in his state, he should punish immigrants for being more easily exploitable?

don’t engage, N.C.

“the flag Brad Miller voted to let illegal aliens burn and trample”

Wow…now _that’s_ wingnuttiness!

Any wonder I dumped fannie’s tired ass (connected to her flabby cottacge-cheese legs?)

Wow, Vernon promised to do everything but burn illegal immigrants at the stake. Awesome. This thing was so far over the top, that it made me laugh out loud. But I don’t doubt that it resonates with it’s target audience, the ‘tard-Americans.

“Mayor Quimby supports revolving door prisons. Mayor Quimby even released Sideshow Bob — a man twice convicted of attempted murder. Can you trust a man like Mayor Quimby? Vote Sideshow Bob for mayor.”

i don’t know. if what this says about Brad Miller is true…that’s disturbing.

“Mayor Quimby supports revolving door prisons. Mayor Quimby even released Sideshow Bob — a man twice convicted of attempted murder. Can you trust a man like Mayor Quimby? Vote Sideshow Bob for mayor.�

ex-cellent.

Bilingual=illegal immigrant. Damn, guess I’ll lose my citizenship if I ever become fluent in another language. I probably already know too much Spanish.

This is one of Vernon’s milder efforts in the hate-ad department. Seriously. Pam Spaulding has some more gems over at Pam’s House Blend. Don’t miss the ‘Twilight Zone’ one.

Flammable gay condoms, no less.

Instructions… banana, rubber… unroll… matches or lighter… then, “Flame on!” Um, OK. Now let’s see….

No, sir, I didn’t like it.
(damn, I wish I wasn’t willing to try anything once!)

Greatest YouTube comment of all time:

I’m not from the US, but I would like to come and live there. Just one question: how much social security would I, as an illegal alien, get under the table for a job like burning flags? – Skarioffszky

What a pessimistic outlook. Typical Democrat. Here’s the optimistic, life-enhancing Republican way of looking at it:
