Nebraska Democrats on Friday criticized a TV ad showing Republican governor candidate Beau McCoy knocking a Barack Obama doll off a fence post with his hand.

The ad opens with McCoy saying, “More Obamacare in Nebraska? That is the last thing we need.”

He then strikes a doll that resembles President Obama.

“Beau McCoy hit a new low in his ad, where he is seen striking the president off a fence post,” said Dan Marvin, executive director of the Nebraska Democratic Party.

1. An act of a savage

2. Imagine, if you can...

...the uproar that would follow video of President Obama knocking a Beau McCoy bobble head from a fencepost. The boundaries of civil public discourse would be obliterated.

Wait. That's already happened.

Hmm. It really is hard to imagine how low radical conservatives would sink, in this scenario.

[Rumold]

19. Imagine, if you can...

a drone strike obliterating an entire shelf of obama dolls

and an innocent kermit the frog sock puppet

the horror

[Judi Lynn]

3. I went to YouTube to see this video, to vote it down,

found the ratings & comments are disabled for it.

That commercial absolutely stinks.

It's so obnoxious, yet it's also so stupid.

He seems a little s-l-o-w for a governor, doesn't he?

Good luck to Nebraska.

4. All rw vying all the time to be the ugliest prick in the room.

[hue]

8. Haha! Aint it the truth!!

[kardonb]

14. ugliest...

they eat hate for breakfast , lunch , and dinner . Disgusting people !

[mnhtnbb]

15. We lived in NE for 6 years

and while we knew some lovely people, the folks who run the state are major a$$holes. I swore when we moved I'd never go back
and almost 14 years later, I never have.

Their state motto should be "ignorant and proud of it".

[marions ghost]

5. This is why

whatever else we do--we DO have to vote. And GOTV.

These people have to be stopped.

[dhill926]

6. seriously...

when this becomes part of the social dialogue…we are in big trouble as a nation...

[hue]

7. McCoy is sick! Besides striking our POTUS in effigy he wants to deny HC to Nebraska Peeps.

McCoy's gestures & words are more than symbolic. The ability of this psychopath to repress his behavior is wearing thin and I think he should be held responsible for it! Furthermore he is acting as a role model for others of the same ilk!
McCoy should have more than just a verbal condemnation of this ad.

I think he should be censured, this ad should be pulled, and he should be blocked from making any more ads.
I also think McCoy should be fined and have to make a public apology not only to our President but all US citizens.
In addition he should have to work in a nursing home, hospital or hospice for at least 1 yr. (without complaining about it in public).
It's really past time these spoiled brats get away with this incitive behavior!

23. It's worse than that. He is symbolically knocking down all the people who need the ACA to live.

Denying the help to live with dignity and in health, able to make changes in their lives and those of their family and their communities.

Knocking them down to the ground to be gleefully stomped on and die. Mass murder. That's what he's really saying there.

[TRoN33]

9. This person is a typical tea party that resort to...

An act of violence. Sick.

[PADemD]

10. When I see behavior like that,

it makes me wonder if he slaps his wife.

[bonniebgood]

12. You think this is low? He really wanted a shot gun to shoot it off

the fence. just like that other teabagger who took the shot gun and shot the pretend obamacare law.

[ForgoTheConsequence]

13. This will make him more popular in Nebraska.

He got exactly what he wanted with this ad.

[madville]

16. He's at 4% in a recent poll

He has to get some attention somehow I guess.

Looks like Jon Bruning has a decent lead on the field at 35% in a five or six-way primary.

[seveneyes]

17. Trying his hand at Voodoo politics?

[tarheelsunc]

18. Bet this creep's polling numbers increase 5-10% in the next polls to come out.

On a completely unrelated note, I love how you can say "Conservative Republican" in a commercial and it's supposed to be perceived as a positive, while if anyone dared to identify themselves as a "Liberal Democrat," they would be considered a fringe candidate and not have any remote chance of winning.

[olddad56]

20. classy guy. Should be the choice of the GOP in Nebraska for sure.

[tavernier]

21. Never could understand that haircut.

Why some men want their head to look like a toilet brush.

[Orsino]

22. Typical Republican tactic: attack a caricature of Obama...

...rather than introduce competing ideas.

This is a out as mature as drawing mustaches on Obama posters, with the added creepiness of violent rhetoric. Typical nullification nonsense.
