The punches land as the narrator lists the groups of people West has supposedly wronged.

West said the ad reflects a "sad state of politics" in the country.
"The ad being run against me by my opponent's family depicting violence against women and senior citizens is reprehensible," West said. "It plays on stereotypes and fear to divide Americans, and it cheapens the very real and tragic occurrences of violence against women and seniors. The American people are suffering from crushing debt, horrific tax and regulatory policies, and epic unemployment. This classless ad shows a lack of regard for the issues plaguing our nation."
American Sunrise PAC, which ran the ad, is largely funded by Thomas Murphy Jr., the father of Democratic candidate Patrick Murphy. The elder Murphy contributed the lion's share -- $250,000 -- of donations to the PAC, which only exists to support Patrick Murphy in his bid for the Democratic nomination...

Only because it is.
And HOW did “the elder Murphy” manage to scrape together $250,000???
Morally, socialists only care about perception not substance....a la, Harry Reid, Pelosi....the list is too long.

This is substance, conservatism.
I like the man....nobodies perfect, but he’s far more solid than Romney.
Like when you said "Justice for Trayvon©" back in March, Congressman?
If the American voters don’t get a clue about this nonsense, I fear we are lost.
Surely people aren’t this stupid.
West should run an ad with pieces of this one in it..”remember this ad and remember the low life that ran it in Nov”.
You know who stepped on the necks of several women to get to the top?: Barack Obama.

Dang, did West say that Sarge?
Absolutely!
Wait....hold the phone.....are you trying to say West said “Justice for Trayvon!”?
Thanks for the lnk.
But it looks like it was from the original misinformation.
Maybe West climbed aboard that train initially. But from what I have read he has walked that back as more info came out.
I will admit. bad judgement on his part initially.
Nope..not saying that at all.
I was agreeing with Xpat in post #7 about a possible future ad campaign.
Berdie, if you have a link to West’s retraction, I’d be glad to see it.
But so far to date, I have seen no retraction, no explanation, not even a “No-you-dumb-cracker-this-is-what-I-meant” statement.
I’m not good at posting links..so this may or may not work, Sarge. But you are in the area and may have better info than I do. :)
West didn’t play the race card. I respect him for that.
However, I do hope some of his supporters do. Demscum are racsit beyond belief. That’s why they accuse us of being racist. It’s called projection.
Absolutely outrageous comments on his Facebook page. Worse than Obama’s at the time - about how GW ‘pursued’ Martin in violation of police orders and other nonsense like that.
He walked back from them a bit later on, but not nearly enough. I thought he would be man enough to really apologize - especially to Zimmerman, but I don’t think he ever did.
“Are you still beating your wife”
Typical Stalinist tactic.
And Obammy stays quiet on all of the smears from the Rats this year. So much for “bringing a new tone of civility to Washington”.
Obama lied, civility died.
Please explain GW 'pursued'. Just not following here. Thanks.
ummm, yes. Democrats are easily that stupid.
Has that rodent from the NYT condemned the false representation of violence?
“The ad being run against me by my opponent’s family depicting violence against women and senior citizens is reprehensible,” West said. “It plays on stereotypes and fear to divide Americans, and it cheapens the very real and tragic occurrences of violence against women and seniors. The American people are suffering from crushing debt, horrific tax and regulatory policies, and epic unemployment. This classless ad shows a lack of regard for the issues plaguing our nation.”
What he should have said: “I dare this POS to say this to my face. But, of course, he won’t because he is a gutless liar who only breathes to kiss 0bambi’s rear.”
But he won’t and therein lies the problem. Nice words won’t stop the hate.
The Dems are all in this election, betting that a low class sleaze campaign will work. We'll see whether they win big or lose big.
> Surely people aren’t this stupid.
Do they watch TV network news shows?
Are they entertained by the banal stupidity, prurience, and filth that oozes out of their TV sets?
Are they more involved with the virtual world than the real one?
“Classles”........The left described in a single word.

Sure. I can understand your confusion. My typo. Should have been GZ for George Zimmerman.
” The shooter, Mr Zimmerman, should have been held in custody and certainly should not be walking free, still having a concealed weapons carry permit. From my reading, it seems this young man was pursued and there was no probable cause to engage him, certainly not pursue and shoot him….against the direction of the 911 responder”
Let me see if I correctly understand this.
We have a President running for re-election clearly calling the republican nominee a murderer, and yet on every single thread here on the premier conservative website on the internet, just about every single thread concerning a conservative sees him or her trashed.
All of the conservatives aren’t ‘pure’ enough, yet this person in the White House, Barack Hussein Obama, is engaged in the most despicable political campaign known to man.
Gotcha.
Thanks Hunton Peck.
No racist overtones in this approach....
A black man physically attacking white women.
The Democrats of the Old South seem to be in full charge.
The ad is blatantly racist, implying that black men are a threat to women and the elderly and to be feared. It is disgusting. I hate democrats more and more every day, especially Obama! Liars, all of them. Sickening.
Dems are lowlifes. Once that’s understood - their endless tackiness makes more sense. If we keep electing dems our country will become crasser, our children will start seeing that lying works. Dems think it’s only the win that matters... they’re awful people.
He will trounce his stinky opponent. This was way over the line and will truly hurt the Demoncrats....
Showing that flash of bling seems borderline racist.
Surely they are. I have in-laws to prove.
THE LEFT ......SHAKES AND FEARS VP WEST. nuff said.
to call that a retraction is parsing pretty heavily. I tend to think words mean things. West is assuming way too much and has not (based on the link you provided) walked his comments back.
This is George Soros at work, people. God I hate him and his little butt boys, David Axeldrod and David Brock.

Oh honey, you don’t know the half of it.
According to certain FReepers, Reagan was a RINO: he raised taxes, granted amnesty to illegals, and cut and ran from Lebanon, so HE’S JUST NOT GOOD ENOUGH.
According to certain FReepers, Jesus of Nazareth was a RINO: he advocated paying your taxes, and consorted with tax collectors and prostitutes, so HE’S JUST NOT GOOD ENOUGH.
All through the primary battle, conservative candidates were destroyed one by one: Cain, Bachman, Santorum, Gingrich, because THEY JUST WEREN’T GOOD ENOUGH.
I am convinced that conservatism is in its death throes from self-inflicted wounds.
Well, Berdie, I read it, and it seems a real vanilla statement. Certainly not enough to expunge his original words.
Be careful with that hate.....hate the darkness their lost in, but, be ready to offer them light when they start questioning.
I have seen the trashing of conservative candidates during the primary and you’re right. None of them are conservative enough.
We’re in a world of hurt.
Thanks for taking the time to read it, Sarge. I’m pretty clumsy at posting links. :)
I agree, it wasn’t very strongly worded. Although I like West, I try to keep in mind he IS a politician.
I think, as I have already said, my biggest disappointment in him was that he jumped into the “media assasination” far too easily.
