Swift-boating Harold Ford: GOP Aims Sleazy Blonde-Bimbo TV Ad At Ford

[Egalia]

RNC TV Ad Swift-boats Harold Ford (D-TN)

“She's a brassy trailer-trash blonde. She wears cheap make-up, gaudy K-Mart jewelry, and speaks in dumb-blonde-bimbo dialect. . . She gushes, "I met Harold at the Playboy Party."

…At the end of the ad, she winks and delivers the Girls Gone Wild line, "Harold, call me!"

Other sleazy characters include the sloppy black woman who forgot to comb her hair and appears to need a bath and the shady-looking dude who seems to be a porn consumer and says it's no big deal if Ford takes money from porn producers.”

Best part of the ad: "The Republican National Committee is responsible for the content of this advertisement."

They don't even have the sense to be embarrassed.

1. .

Every day they hit a new low. Always appealing to the racists.
One day, I hope that the people will get sick of that crap and punish anyone who makes dumb ads like this.

21. Let's hope that day is Nov. 7th.

And if ads like this are the "big guns" meant to destroy Democrats... I hope they cost a lot of money.

2. Great Ad!

Almost makes me want to move to Tennessee to vote - but first we need to kick "Queen of the Brownshirts" Healey's ass here in Mass.

[la la]

3. ohmigawd

that is soooo bad. It's a real ad, right? More like a really bad spoof on SNL.


:wtf:

[tnlefty]

7. Truly, it's more like a comedy spoof! This is the first time that I've

seen it, but people have been calling our local hdqtrs. talking about it.

Hope it cost a fortune to make, cause somebody(ies) didn't get a good product for the investment.

24. What have the people been saying about

it? :)

[tnlefty]

25. Not certain, but it seemed to be a combo of outraged calls, along with

questioning ones and disgusted (with dirty GOP tactics) ones. I was overhearing the calls coming in while I was making calls to go to pick people up to take them to the polls, then dashing out and dashing back in to make more calls and to pick more people up. Just catching bits and pieces here and there on my way in and out, and then asking when I could about the ad and the responses. The phones are ringing off the hook there with questions about early voting, what's on the ballot, when's the next time Ford is gonna be in town, who's covering an event, etc.

You know, just the normal, crazy atmosphere this close to an election!

[Cha]

27. Thanks! And thanks so much

for being out there!

[tnlefty]

28. Just trying to do my part, and it has been enjoyable so far! The elderly

folks that I've been picking up are more informed than my mother (although I think she's willfully uninformed). The most delightful one was a lady who voted for the first time the year that I was born (1960). She mentioned bush**'s power grabs and we agreed laughingly that we both miss Nixon - at least someone tried to stop him. She actually stated that bush** is more paranoid and more mentally ill than Nixon. She stated, "anytime the republicans are in charge it isn't good for us average citizens".

And get this - they're all voting AGAINST the gay marriage ban that is on the ballot!!! They have more of a live and let live attitude, along with "they're citizens of this country aren't they?" than younger folks that I come into contact with.:wow:

I'll see who I come into contact with next week!

[Egalia]

8. It's a real ad

Believe it. And they are even stupid enough to run it in Ford's hometown, predominantly black Memphis. We are going to see some voter rage!

Republicans stink!

[brer cat]

20. I'll take your word that's a real ad, but I can't believe ANYONE

would be so stupid. Gives new meaning to "we can't make this up, folks!"

Thanks for sharing, Egalia.

[fasttense]

4. It is actually kind of funny.

The ad is so over the top that it mocks the meaning of a trashy ad.

[C_U_L8R]

12. no it's really kinda stupid

Republicans just don't do funny very well

well.. inadvertently I guess

[Justice Is Comin]

5. He ain't gonna call you honey,

he only goes for classy dames. Get a tail first.

[Imagevision]

6. man, you know the GOP is in trouble come election day!! - Go Ford!!!

I want you to imagine the squeals of outrage we would have heard if, back in the 1990s, President Clinton spoke to a Democratic congressional fund-raising dinner attended by a porn star and a pornographer.

But the "family values" Republicans are mute about just such an event scheduled for next week – involving not Clinton, but President Bush.

Last week, Carl Forti, communications director for the National Republican Congressional Committee, explained to WND that self-described pornographer Mark Kulkis and his date, porn star Mary Carey, will be attending the two-day event, "The 2005 President's Dinner and Salute to Freedom," next Monday and Tuesday because their money is just as good as anyone else's.

11. thanks for the reminder

porn stars, perverts and child predators, and they claim to have 'values voters.'

[smoogatz]

19. I was just thinking about this little Bushco moment.

Thanks for posting it; I couldn't remember the name of the lady in question.

[Imagevision]

10. it's a real ad? - made by paid for actors directors cameramen, like any

other commercial.

[librechik]

13. is this her?

[Egalia]

15. funny! n/t

[Bluebear]

14. "Paid for by the RNC" - - they actually ADMIT it? hahahahahahaha

[Egalia]

16. And they are stupid enough to show this in Memphis!

It's been said many times that a large black turnout will mean a victory for Ford. We may want to thank the RNC for this little get-out-the-outraged-black-vote effort.

[Straight Shooter]

17. If you throw too much sh*t at the wall, each piece knocks the others off.

I don't think any of that is going to stick. It's a boorish ad. What, did they have a contest to make an anti-Ford ad, and Karl Rove's kid won?

[Fly by night]

18. Ford's opponent (Corker) denounces the ad, calls it "tacky"

That was in today's Nashville Tennessean. Of cource, Bob Corker also embraces George Bush, wants us to "stay the course" in Iraq, attacks Congressman Ford's family at every opportunity, and hires nonresidents to extol his virtues as mayor of Chattanooga (where he enriched himself with insider real estate deals). If anyone would know what tacky smells like, it would be Bob Corker.

Republicans -- Leave No Child's Behind Alone

[KingFlorez]

22. That is just downright idiotic

So who went out with a woman, so what? Is this all they have?

[bigdarryl]

23. Republicans playing the RACE CARD AGAIN

this ad is designed for white voters the message is Ford messes with white girls. and so what he likes playboy bunnies he's a single guy not married. this ad will back fire and hears why. Imus will be talking about how slezy the republicans are on his show this week coming up .Imus is a registered republican but supports Ford 100% his show is nation wide on MSNBC in the morning BAD move RNC

[KingFlorez]

26. I thought the same thing

They know how to play on those old attitudes of Southerners.
