Congressional F-bomb ad set to air Friday at noon

[left-of-center2012]

ALBUQUERQUE, NM (KRQE) -
People see a lot of outrageous political ads, but it's not usually the language that's controversial.
Albuquerque City Councilor Pat Davis wants people to see his congressional campaign spot in which the Democrat uses profanity to get the viewers' attention..

"F*** the NRA," Davis says to start off his 15-second ad. "Their program policies have resulted in dead children, dead mothers and dead fathers. I'm Pat Davis and I approve this message because if Congress won't change our gun laws, we're changing Congress."
"I think the only people who are going to be offended are the NRA," Davis argued when asked about the ad Thursday.

"You only see these Hail Mary attempts among candidates who are really desperate at this point in a race," UNM Political Science Professor Gabriel Sanchez said after KRQE News 13 showed him the ad. "That's where you see attack ads that are much more aggressive, that's where you see these kind of out-of-the-box approaches is really when candidates know, 'I've got to make up some ground. I'm running out of money and I'm running out of time.'"

The following is KRQE General Manager Bill Anderson's explanation:

"We received a request for air time from a legitimate federal candidate for office, and according to federal election rules we are required to give him the same access as his opponents.
This station, by law, is not permitted to censor or in any way edit this commercial.
What we can control however, is the 15 seconds of air time preceding it, which we will use to warn the viewer of a possible offense,
disclaim our own views, and cite the federal laws imposed on candidates and tv stations."

8. Media spinning this as a Hail Mary is a joke. What is happening is a revolution in gun

control. The truth is being spoken and progressives are turing their passion into free speech, which is a real passion generated by real fear of 300 million guns and real statistics and research and not one generated by fake fear of "government taking my liberty" and vast propaganda memes.

Too bad he can only afford 15 seconds. Lot more "fuck you" to the NRA and the reasons why would be great.

12. As the coming -of-voting-age keep saying to the NRA...

"We will outlive you." And that is a fact the NRA simply cannot refute.

14. It definitely would,especially considering his

background. Ex cop, FBI Academy, current city councilor who had a hand in decriminalizing recreational weed in the city.

I posted some links below.

Excellent ad! Will appeal to young, old, and everyone in between--except gun-humpers and religious gits.

Fired up.

15. I just talked to him

at a house party. When he left he was on his way to an interview with MSNBC.

So kicking the hornet's nest got some attention. He did not do it solely for that reason though.
