Rep. West decries 'classless' ad that depicts him punching women

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...

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

Please explain GW 'pursued'. Just not following here. Thanks.

Has that rodent from the NYT condemned the false representation of violence?

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?

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.

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.

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.
