Disgusting

America’s Pac is running “race ads” in more than 2 dozen Congressional districts. Here are samples…
“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 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.”
Reaction…
In one of the communities where the ads are running, South Bend, Ind.,some blacks were outraged. “They’re awful.They’re repulsive,” a
Democratic activist and community leader in South Bend, Gladys Muhammad, said. “When they say Democrats don’t like black babies, that’s damn fools.They’re very insensitive.”“This is so dirty, but it works,” a sociology professor at Indiana University, Johnnie Griffin, said. “These are race ads. It’s incredible.”
SNIP
Ms. Griffin said a community meeting is planned for Friday to discuss the ad campaign.

This is the doctrine of divide and conquer at its very lowest level. What really gets to me, apart from the actual ads themselves, is the way the GOP assumes, with typically innate white superiority and contempt that African-American voters will believe their crap. But it’d be foolish to think that this won’t cause damage. It’s a very carefully calibrated dose of poison that will hit the hot buttons of many. I wouldn’t be surprised if this this is a trial run for a nationwide last minute suppress-the- black-vote push.
The Republicans seem determined to tear the country apart in their endless death throes. Like a tyrannical husband who murders his family when they threaten to leave, they’re destroying what they profess to love rather than let someone else have it.
