Foley killer featured in Republican campaign ad

The not-yet-identified killer of kidnapped American photographer James Foley is featured in an ominous and risky campaign ad released Monday by New Mexico’s Republican nominee for Senate, Allen Weh, the underdog challenger to first-term Democratic Senator Tom Udall.

Weh, a Marine combat veteran and onetime New Mexico Republican Party Chairman, appears to be the first candidate this cycle to use Foley’s gruesome execution as campaign fodder, portraying the murder as one consequence of a rudderless American foreign policy mismanaged by President Obama and Udall.

Foley himself is cropped out of the web video, leaving only the stark image of the black-clad jihadist, clutching a blade in the Syrian desert.

That picture is on screen for barely two seconds second and then fades quickly into a cascade of dark Middle East scenery — including ISIS militants in Iraq and the bombing of mosques — all of it intercut with video of Obama playing golf and vacationing on Martha’s Vineyard.

Max Cleland with the Osama ad.

10. That was my first thought.

For Pukes and Baggers, no low is too low. They appeal to the HATE crowd, that grasp at straws to justify their hatred of anything.

Married with Children

Marcy Darcy to Al: "Al Bundy, you're a pig (etc.)"

Al Bundy to Marcy: " Well you are, uh, you are...a chicken!"

When Pukes got nothing...they can always go with the "you're a chicken" campaign.

5. He must really be an underdog to go that route.

It will appeal to the brain dead Faux News audience, but nobody else.

6. Too soon? Oh yeah.

That's beyond poor taste. Good Lord.

11. from the land of enchantment....

Allen Weh is not even a blip on the radar at this time. Senator Udall has a 20 point lead and is only running positive campaign ads not even mentioning his "opponent". wish we had some democrat or independent as strong as Udall to run against Suzanna Martinez for governor. at least she's not quite the nightmare Weh would be.

12. I hope he has to answer to James Foley's parents.

No words to describe anyone who would think about using his murder as political fodder.
