FTP (s)- Republican Racists

Racist Ad 1   Racist Ad 2  Racist Ad 3

It is incredibly racist not to mention inaccurate to vaguely cite Harry Reid's voting record with immigration. She is obviously not concerned with Nevada's Latino population. She is ignorant and I find those few images of "illegals" she used repeatedly offensive.

Its so offensive that the Colbert Report featured it as well: The Colbert Report - Fear Tactics!

I hope to God and Coatlicue that Nevadans come to their senses and realize that these types of Republicans do not solve problems, they just perpetuate the problem with ignorance and intolerance. If you must vote Republican at least chose someone with values, like respect for others and their situations. People who understand the greater context of problems facing our country- for example: YOU ARE NOT GETTING RID OF ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION. Since that's not going away, figure out who we can assist people with a work-to-citizenship pathway and the deportation of felons. Fear mongering doesn't solve problems - it make her look tough on crime but in reality it makes her a bigot.

Little does this ad show about the many families that are coming to the US for work and family. The hundreds of children that make this voyage. Controversial ads does not make you a good politician - practical public policy-making and coalition building does.

So finally in the words of George Lopez - "F*#$ That P%&a!" or "F#$% Those P@#$s!"
