Holy mother of god. There are so many things wrong with this ad, I have no idea where to begin.Witness this Tennessee campaign ad. It’s an RNC spot against Rep. Harold Ford.
Included, we have a play on fears about interracial sex, the claim that Ford supports terrorism, that he’s in the pocket of pornographers, and hooks up with women at Playboy parties.
The dialogue of the ad after the jump.
Young black woman: Harold Ford looks nice. Isn’t that enough.
Young white woman: Terrorists need their privacy.
Older white guy in cowboy vest: When I die, Harold Ford will let me pay taxes again.
Middle aged white guy in cammo: Harold Ford’s right. I do have too many guns.
White woman who appears topless: I met Harold at the Playboy party!
Young white woman: I’d love to pay higher marriage taxes.
Older white man in overalls: Canada can take care of North Korea. They’re not busy.
Slick looking young guy in black and sunglasses: So he took money from porn movie producers. I mean, who hasn’t? *giggles*
Screen text: Harold Ford. He’s just not right.*
Voice over: The Republican National Committee is responsible for the content of this advertising.
White woman who appears topless: Harold, call me. *wink*
*Bonus points for the allusion to mental illness.
