Republicans Use Stingray Attacks In Campaign Ads

Well, the GOP is at it again.  First they raised eyebrows with a menacing video showing statements from Osama bin Laden and Ayman al-Zawahiri vowing to attack the US, and announcing “These are the stakes.  Vote November 7th.”

Just when you thought they couldn’t sink any lower, here comes another exploitative ad.  Playing on America’s natural fear of marine life, they have decided to frighten the public by introducing them to the fearsome and dangerous stingrays who will stop at nothing to terrorize America.  The ad ends with the ominous line “These are the stingrays.  Vote November 7th.”  You need to watch it.

Once again, we see a Republican Party out of ideas, with nothing to promote but fear itself, willing to do anything to save their electoral majorities.  To think that they would even stoop so low as to capitalize upon random stingray attacks.  Shameful.

And we all know the truth.  We know that the Republicans have made NO ATTEMPT to stop stingray attacks until now, right before the election.  Remember when the President said “I’m just not that concerned about them?”  Of course you do.  I mean, sure, Cliff May’s been talking about the stingrays for a couple months, but who else?  When the military had a chance to corner the stingrays and finish them off once and for all in the mountains of Tora Bora, they outsourced the job to Afghan warlords who let the stingrays escape.  What kind of strong national security is that?  There’s no doubt that this ad will backfire.

You know what we have to do.  We need to send this video to as many people as possible, to make sure everybody knows just what the GOP is up to with this nonsense.  I mean, there is low and there is LOW.  And this is, um, even lower than that.

…ok, fine, my buddy Joe Wilson (not the ambassador) and I made the ad. So send it around!
