I LOVE this AD!

[Constitution Day]

FYI

:)

[MBB1984]

It really is a great ad. I don't know why more Republicans run advertisements like this. Of course, maybe they aren't as conservative as they try to make us believe.

[debg]

He was just on Fox M&J (Dayside) - he was very articulate. He won the primary, so that's a good thing.

[Personal Responsibility]

That is a GREAT ad!

[ZGuy]

Would he need to get permission to put the clip from Leave it to Beaver in the ad? I wouldn't think that they'd grant it.

[JackTom]

Unfortunately he is running against Democratic incumbent so it's an uphill battle.

[Swanks]

Got to meet him was he was orking the crowd at an event in Raleigh. Good guy.

[Danae]

I have got to agree! Its about time we have some elected officials that are willing to just tell it like it is. Hopefuly he will keep his word! Oh how I wish he were in Oregon!

[Danae]

Yea, that's how I heard about it. It needed to be posted here however!

Oh how I WISH he were in Oregon!

[Wristpin]

This guy is going to make the Libs's heads explode like in the movie 'Scanners'!

[Danae]

Apparently he is getting email from Democrats to that effect! LOL

[Arizona Carolyn]

I saw the ad the other day, great ad! He was on Fox a few minutes ago and they showed it there.

[Rider on the Rain]

Got to meet him was he was orking the crowd at an event in Raleigh. Good guy.

Met him at the primary polling place on Durant Road. You're right. Good guy. It goes without saying he's got my vote in the general election.

[caisson71]

This is the kind of candidate that gets my check which used to go to the RNC.

[debg]

(Another) Democrat candidate calls Vernon "a good slave" because he's the "nominee of the Party of Emancipation instead of the Party of Jim Crow."

Oh boy, they are nasty!

[Froufrou]

Awesome! Wish I lived there so I could vote for him!

[Danae]

(Another) Democrat candidate calls Vernon "a good slave" because he's the "nominee of the Party of Emancipation instead of the Party of Jim Crow."

Oh now THERE'S a good way to get the Minority Black vote! I hope that candidate continues to show his true racist colors!

[twntaipan]

Except, wasn't Lincoln a Republican who promulgated the Emancipation Proclamation?

[debg]

It's a woman - State Supreme Court candidate Rachel Lea Hunter. There's more at http://www.vernonrobinson.com/cgi-data/news/files/158.shtml

[PDR]

Alan Keyes wannabe

[debg]

Yup.

[geezerwheezer]

If he can raise enough $$$ his ads will bury the dimocrap incumbent. That is a really powerful commercial.

[hsalaw]

Would he need to get permission to put the clip from Leave it to Beaver in the ad? I wouldn't think that they'd grant it.

I'm not a copyright lawyer, but I'd think it's in the public domain by now.

[mpackard]

OH MY GOSH!!! That movie wigged me completely out!!!!(I was just a teenager, though)

[GrandEagle]

I don't know why more Republicans run advertisements like this.
Because Republicans who actually BELIEVE this are scarce.

[JLAGRAYFOX]

This ad is super great!!! Too bad the rest of the Pubbies weaklings don't have this guy's backbone. I hope he wins, because he is telling it the way it really is!!!! Good luck and Godspeed Vernon, the mighty and the man!!! Vernon, "You Da Man!!!"

[united1000]

LOL, one letter out of sequence and I had to read that a couple times.........

[united1000]

I saw this link on a thread a couple weeks ago. I wish someone would put it into a format I can download.........

[GOPRaleigh]

I saw him at the Durant Fire Station as well on election day. He does have GREAT ads!

[SueRae]

I saw this on Fox. Tremendous!!!

[Mr. K]

I am betting he wins in a landslide

That would teach the spineless republicans we have in office....

[Syncro]

Well what the heck do you expect from Jim's second couzin's aunt's brother's niece's father?

[Syncro]

Not many politicians have perfected the art of orking the crowd as this feller has.

[Tax-chick]

Beware of the owrk!

[united1000]

Thanks.......... That is one I have not heard. Is it just a radio spot or a tv ad?

[Vision]

Give him money and support! That is how you will get more of this.

[pookie18]

When I posted it HERE awhile ago, it was only billed as a radio ad.

[Darksheare]

Owrking the crowd, sounds painful.

(I know, I know, it was "orking", which I will have to use later on somewhere. But I must admit that it does look like my one typo of "owrk".)

How is everyone?

[Tax-chick]

Just fine. Too much owrk, but that's not new :-).

[Joe Republc]

Oh MANNNN!!! Brought a major smile to my face! Sorry I didn't hear Rush talk about this.

[Darksheare]

Yeah, I'm on nights, from 11 P.M. to 7 A.M...

[ConservativeGadfly]

Nope.

For--profit corporations have commercials. Political campaigns have ads. A political campaign's use of copywrited music, images or footage is the quintessential example of the "Fair Use Doctrine" in play. No political campaign has ever been successfully sued for copywright infringement in federal court.

For example, a conservative 527 organization called "Club for Growth" used several seconds of the 50's classic "The Blob" in one of its ads. Although it was sued, after a year of litigation, the Club for Growth won. There is just significantly more latitude because it is not commercial use. The owner of the copywright would be hard pressed to show actual damages.

It is an interesting legal question, though. And we do get form letter nastygrams from time to time. But a political campaigns ads (it isn't commerce, so calling it a commercial is actually inaccurate...) enjoy core protected speech. There is no example of free speech that enjoys more protection than political speech. Whole statutes carve out political speech as an exception -- it even reaches parody material ( e.g. Saturday Night Live, Rush's parodies).

Here's another example -- Rush Limbaugh pays royalties for use of the "Pretenders" song for his show theme song -- but for his parodies, he isn't paying royalties for whatever material may use "copywrighted" material -- whole different world.

Glad you liked the ad. :)

[Howlin]

Exactly.

And a nasty campaigner to boot.
