GOP Senator's Ad: Gay Guys In Village People Garb Support My Opponent
from TPM Election Central by Eric Kleefeld

Check out this new ad from Sen. Roger Wicker (R-MS), who is facing a tough challenge from former Gov. Ronnie Musgrove (D). This ad ties Musgrove, who is a pro-life social conservative and economic populist, to the liberal Democratic leadership in Washington -- and apparently to the Village People, too:

"The largest gay-rights group in the country," the man in the cowboy outfit says with a grin.

None of the liberal interest groups named in the ad have donated directly to Musgrove. But the issue for the Wicker campaign is that the DSCC is spending a whole lot of money -- some of it raised from these same groups -- on TV ads promoting Musgrove or attacking Wicker.

"The DSCC is set to spend $5.5 million in advertising on behalf of Ronnie Musgrove for Senate, Wicker spokesman Ryan Annison told Election Central. "They know that if he is elected, he will support their liberal Democrat leadership."

1. As a gay guy, I HATE this shit.

Once again, when things look bad...play the gay card to smear your opponent.

Disgusting. No, fuck that...words fail me as to how loathsome this is.

[Bicoastal]

2. But me, Roger Wicker? I'm hugging my matronly, non-threatening wife at the beginning...

...so you know I'M all man. :eyes:

3. This is terrible.

The sad thing is that all the RNC has left is to crap on all disenfranchised groups in society and put them up as a scapegoat for America's ills.

This election has been very useful in exposing the true colors of a lot of people.

4. I can't stomach watching it now...bleh!

These people are loathsome and desparate...bad combination.


Also, I'm surprised he's not the "GOP Party" instead of Republican... :puke:

5. That's soooo 2004

Seriously, with the economy collapsing and the 2 wars, he goes to the stand by of gay bashing. Too bad this probably won't have the same effect it did a few years ago. People are too worried about keeping their homes to worry about the gays.

6. The republican party would love to go back to the days Willy Lynch.

7. Fight the hate - DONATE to Musgrove here!
