Democratic ad brands GOP tea partiers 'radical terrorists'

Last edited Mon Nov 3, 2014, 11:55 AM - Edit history (1)

snipped for relevance

The Univision ad begins by showing the United States and Mexican flags waving next to each other, with a narrator saying, “These two flags represent friendship, liberty, opportunity and justice.”

That image is quickly replaced by the tea party's “Don't Tread on Me” banner.

This flag, the narrator warns us, is “muy peligrosa” (very dangerous).

“It's the flag of the tea party Republicans. They are radical terrorists and they want to take matters into their own hands, affecting our children and families with violence and firearms on the border and in our cities.”

That accusation is accompanied by photos of Texas militia members in camouflage uniforms and a worried woman holding tight to her child.

"These two flags represent friendship, liberty, opportunity and justice. This flag is very dangerous. It is the flag of the Republicans of the Tea Party. They are radical terrorists who want to take matters into their own hands, affecting our children and families with violence and firearms on the border and in our cities. This Tuesday, November 4th, is the day of the election and it’s the only time we can make our voice count. For our common good, Vote Democrat!"

And they aren't proud of it? Last I heard they were all boasty and self-congratulatory, but now seem all drama-bound.


I think I would like Mr. Medina. He represents a lot of people, I suspect, who come from a country where other terrorists hang people from bridges and leave them in 50 gal drums by the side of the road. The kind that make our TPers have to change their pants if they run across them.

Our little TPers think they are gonna scare him? By opening and closing their guns a few times? Maybe rolling down the little handkerchief over their face?

Booga booga booga.

like Manuel Medina calls a spade a spade! The damned republican party is a racist anti democratic fascist party that uses fear, violence and money to deny people their rights.

Fuck the republican party!

I think we all are. They are arrogant, intolerant, self-righteous ignoramuses. They don't know their history, could care less about learning. Bona fide sociopaths. Ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall set ye free!
