Republican Group Chides Democrats With Abortion Ads. Aim Is To Win Minority Voters

A little-known Republican group that claims to have swayed the 2004 presidential election with provocative radio advertising aimed at black and Hispanic audiences is spending nearly $1 million this year to boost the GOP's chances of holding on to a majority in Congress.

The group, America's Pac, began running ads last month in more than two dozen congressional districts.The campaign discusses issues ranging from warrantless wiretapping to school choice, but the most inflammatory spots pertain to abortion.

"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.

It might help.

If you make a little mistake with one of your ‘hos,' you'll want to dispose of that problem tout suite

That kind of mocking dialect won't help.

It's a great idea, but the dialog's a little weird:

""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."

I mean, who mixes "ho's" and "tout suite" in the same sentence??? Anyway good luck to them!

[TommyDale]

"tout suite" is a term I have NEVER heard used in the 'hood.

Hmmm... Save a baby or line his pocket - I'm afraid I know which way he'll vote.

"If you haven't seen what abortion does, then you will never understand what abortion actually is."

"Abortion is the greatest deception that has plagued the black church since Lucifer himself."

"Between 1882 and 1968, 3,446 Blacks were lynched in the U.S. That number is surpassed in less than 3 days by abortion."

"1,452 African-American children are killed each day by the heinous act of abortion."

"3 out of 5 pregnant African-American women will abort their child."

"Since 1973 there has been over 13 million Black children killed and their precious mothers victimized by the U.S. abortion."

"There are those who argue that the right to privacy is of [a] higher order than the right to life ... that was the premise of slavery. You could not protest the existence or treatment of slaves on the plantation because that was private and therefore outside your right to be concerned."

"What happens to the mind of a person, and the moral fabric of a nation, that accepts the aborting of the life of a baby without a pang of conscience? What kind of a person and what kind of a society will we have 20 years hence if life can be taken so casually? It is that question, the question of our attitude, our value system, and our mind-set with regard to the nature and worth of life itself that is the central question confronting mankind. Failure to answer that question affirmatively may leave us with a hell right here on earth."

"Another area that concerns me greatly, namely because I know how it has been used with regard to race, is the psycholinguistics involved in this whole issue of abortion. If something can be dehumanized through the rhetoric used to describe it, then the major battle has been won. . . That is why the Constitution called us three-fifths human and then whites further dehumanized us by calling us niggers. It was part of the dehumanizing process. The first step was to distort the image of us as human beings in order to justify that which they wanted to do. . . Those advocates of taking life prior to birth do not call it killing or murder; they call it abortion. They further never talk about aborting a baby because that would imply something human. Rather they talk about aborting the fetus. Fetus sounds less than human and therefore can be justified."

Can you imagine the uproar if the Republican party advocated a policy that killed three times as many blacks as whites?(per-centage wise)

[Graybeard58]

Al Gore is another one.

I thought Nawlins was deserted, the government abandoned everyone there, remember? /sarcasm

"This is so dirty, but it works," a sociology professor at Indiana University, Johnnie Griffin, said. "These are race ads. It's incredible."

Cuz everybody knows only Dems are allowed to use race for political purposes!

While Ms. Griffin said she felt insulted by the ads, she also said a student in her class reported that a relative was thinking of switching to the Republican Party because of them. "Black people are more conservative than anybody thinks. We do have strong family values that people don't seem to stress as much," the professor said.

If they're so conservative, why do 95%+ continue to vote Dem? There can be two reasons. One is that they really aren't conservative. The other is that they're too stupid and/or lazy to realize that they habitually vote against their own self-interest.

"During my 11 years in congress, I have consistently opposed federal funding for abortions. In my opinion, it is wrong to spend federal funds for what is arguably taking of a human life. Let me assure you that I share your belief that innocent human life must be protected, and I am committed to furthering this goal."
Al Gore, Former U.S. Vice President, , now in favor of legalized abortion, in a letter to a constituent, while U.S. Senator from Tennessee, 5/26/1987


You might really enjoy this website - it has LOADS of excellent quotations about abortion - and despite there being quotes from all persepctives on the page, the pro-life side is the obvious rhetorical winner (I mean, "its my body" is so shallow in the face of a tiny snuffed out voice and abortionists and abortion advocates who KNOW that abortion is the deliberate killing of a human person)

Where do I send a donation?

Won't work. African American voters would still vote for the dims even if the dims announced that on the day after the election they intended to ship all African Americans back to Africa.
