The United States is gearing up for Midterm Elections. In theory, they serve as something of a barometer of how the incumbent president is doing - but then, so do "opinion polls".
As a Canadian, I must admit to finding election campaigns in the United States rather bleakly amusing. The constant haranguing with attack ads denigrating your opponents - mostly for breathing as far as I can tell - is mind-bogglingly stupid. It's rare that an individual candidate deserves that kind of abuse (although, it does happen from time to time in either country).
However, this ad (here it is in in quicktime) this piece of button pushing ignorance would make this moron proud.
In a single thirty second spot, this goon from North Carolina manages to demonstrate a level of bigotry against just about anything you can imagine - blacks, gays, feminism, abortion, "liberal judges" - that would make these guys look positively moderate. (I don't even think the wing-nuttiest of the CPC would put out an ad like this)
It's kind of eye-popping, jaw-dropping stupidity - but it attracts attention like a car wreck. What's next?
(Ironically, Vernon Robinson is black - one can only imagine how much self-loathing he must have stoking his inner fires to feel good about some of the crap he spews forth)
