TVC Condemns TN Democrat For Distributing Flyer Belittling Special Olympics Kids For Immediate Release October 14, 2004
Washington, DC, -- “Tennessee State Representative Craig Fitzhugh should be ashamed of himself for allowing his campaign office to distribute a flyer belittling Special Olympics children,” said Traditional Values Coalition Chairman Louis P. Sheldon, today. “This disgusting flyer is an insensitive attack against children with disabilities.”
Rep. Fitzhugh’s office, which is shared by the Kerry-Edwards campaign, has been distributing a flyer showing a Special Olympics child with President Bush’s face superimposed on the head of the disabled youngster. The headline reads: “Voting for Bush Is Like Running In The Special Olympics: Even If You Win, You’re Still Retarded.”
“This kind of mean-spirited material has no place in an election campaign,” said Rev. Sheldon. “In my 40 years of involvement in politics, I’ve never seen anything so despicable as this flyer. Rep. Fitzhugh should not only apologize to the disabled community and to his opponent Dave Dahl, he should fire whoever is responsible for distributing this ugly attack piece.”
Rep. Fitzhugh and Dahl are running for the State House District 82. The flyer has been distributed from Fitzhugh’s campaign office in Ripley, Tennessee. His office also serves as the local Kerry-Edwards campaign headquarters.
“This flyer not only insults the intelligence of Republicans, but it also hurts thousands of Americans who have children with disabilities. Fitzhugh should be ashamed of himself for allowing such a hateful flyer to be sent out from his office,” said Sheldon.
I HAVE TO ASK," Why?"..." Why MOVE ON ??"
HAVE the Democrat Platform/Stands "Changed" since then?
ARE we to believe---and Americans too -that ; This Year-This WEEK- ALL Democrats are "Mini-Fords"?? : "Pro-Troops"? " Pro-Military"? "Pro-Security"??
Well--in Light of the libbies JUMPING DOWN on Rush Limbaugh who was pointing out the HYPOCRACY of those who USE / Take ADVANTAGE of handicap people to PUSH THEIR AGENDA- and Push OTHERS into the " No-Caring" corner then by DEFAULT or accusation!
Let's all go back to see the past "JOKES" from the Party of COMPASSION and SENSITIVITY!- those Caring Liberals-
--and let's look at all their DISGUSTING ads - where THEY were making FUN of other disadvantaged people for Democrat Ads and their OWN GAIN!!
THIS KERRY STATEMENT is NOT the First one like it!
And what the libbies Want to HIDE is that it will NOT obviously , be the LAST!-Cause THIS is what they ARE!
" A Tiger is a Tiger " as Rush would say!
And there is Nothing WRONG with what Kerry said really! HE is just telling America exactly WHAT HE & HIS PARTY Believes in !!
What IS Wrong--is even NOT them Thinking they should apologize--or even that they will NEVER Apologize !!
What IS WRONG--is asking/ DEMANDING that others go further than Apologizing for doing FAR LESS !
By the Democrats Standards--KERRY SHOULD HAVE RESIGNED ALREADY!!
And by the Main Street Liberal Media's LONNNNNG Established, Practiced :Papers and New Practices- THIS Kerry "NEWS" Statements-
and the "TROOPS IN IRAQ'S ANSWER TO KERRY'S "Banner"!"-- should have been NUMBER ONE on their News Hit parade!
Instead of " Snipers shooting U.S. & Coalition troops Dead" footage.
HOW MANY OTHER "PAST/RECENT" DEMOCRAT ADS CAN YOU REMEMBER AND PRINT HERE TO REMIND OTHERS OF ALL PAST DEMOCRAT STANDS--AND WHAT AMERICANS SHOULD REMEMBER TOO?
This election is really making me sick. It seems to get worse everyday. God bless the sane people of the world.
That ad should be good for a 5% - 10% pick up of votes for the Republicans.
As vapid as so many ads have been that one is a finalist for most putrid ad.
ping
That is the dirtiest and meanest thing I have ever seen.
Please FReepmail me if you want on or off my ‘miscellaneous’ ping list.
The Democrats obsession with proving their 'superior intelligence' to Republicans is going to be their downfall.
This story is from 2004
Thanks for the heads up on that.
Anyway, it shows how hateful some of these democRATs can be. I don't remember seeing this back in 2004, I have to admit...
why did you post this?
Please FReepmail me if you want on or off my ‘miscellaneous’ ping list.
Who designed that ad, Ted Rall?
