"Religious fanatics are trying to take away our freedom in Afghanistan, in Iraq and right here in central Florida," declares a female voice-over.
The ad focuses on Daniel Webster, Grayson's Republican opponent in this year's mid-term election and a former state legislator.
"Daniel Webster wants to impose his radical fundamentalism on us," the ad asserts. "Webster tried to deny battered women medical care and the right to divorce their abusers. He wants to force raped women to bear the child. Taliban Dan Webster. Hands off our bodies, and our laws."
Grayson certainly isn't pulling any punches. I'm not sure if I agree with the extent of this attack but if Grayson can win re-election, he really will affect 2012. Same goes if Daniel Webster wins, however.
Fighting the Republicans on their own turf is ballsy, but the unapologetic Grayson is going for it. Outside of Nancy Pelosi, I can't think of any House Democrat that the Republicans want gone more than Grayson. That should tell you something.
Heh, I fully agree with the extent of the attack. The similarities of Christian nutjobs of the US and the Islamic nutjobs of the Middle East needs to be pounded into every American's skull.
ReplyDeleteThe fact is, these punches can't afford to be pulled. And hey, maybe the Dems will learn a fucking lesson.
A valid point.
ReplyDeleteStooping to comparing Republicans to terrorists is pretty hard-core.
And yet given the chance, the Republicans do the same thing daily to Democrats.
Well, people say you shouldn't stoop to their level, but simple pragmatism says otherwise.
ReplyDeleteOf course, it REALLY helps the case when, you know, it's true. It's not the viciousness of the ads, it's the assholery. You really can't compare Obamacare to terrorism, economic or otherwise.
Err, it's not the viciousness of the ads I object to.
