Shocking Audio of Race-Baiting Ads Used In #MSSEN Ra Posted by Bruce Carroll Friday, June 27, 2014 at 4:02pm
Racially charged ads played on African-American community radio stations in Mississippi
Cochran McDaniel
The Daily Mail has obtained three racially-charged radio ads placed by organizations that worked to help incumbent U.S. Sen. Thad Cochran (R-MS) stage his come from behind run-off victory this week.
[The ads] claimed that supporters of conservative McDaniel had connections to the Ku Klux Klan and that McDaniel had a racist agenda. They also warned that black Democrats could lose food stamps, housing assistance, student loans, early breakfast and lunch programs and disaster assistance if he were to become the Republican U.S. Senate nominee.
Vote against the tea party. Vote Thad Cochran, one ad said. If the tea party, with their racist ideas, win, we will be sent back to the 50s and 60s.
The Daily Mail also reports about bizarre political bedfellows two radically leftist campaign operatives were apparently helping mastermind the race-baiting in support of the Republican incumbent.
ALL of it here:
Thad Cochran | Chris McDaniel | MS Senate
Live by the sword...die by the sword.
Conservatives might have a valid complaint if they were pure as the driven snow when it came to honestly projecting their own candidates and the opposition candidates in the political ads they themselves broadcast. That's clearly not the case since conservatives have a LONG and well-documented history of playing dirty and broadcasting unsubstantiated inflammatory ads. Everyone knows this. It's NOT a secret.
Consequently, the M.O. for campaigns is that pretty much anything goes short of outright slander and liable which is hard to prove when the targets are public figures, and the ads are often couched as "opinion," and the fact that political ads have the protection of the 1st Amendment. But even if a successful case could be brought against someone for slander, the campaign would long be over by the time the courts got involved.
Like I said, live by the sword...die by the sword.
