Can we talk about how this ad for Kelly Loeffler casts her in a good light for being “right of Attila the Hun?” and makes light of killing journalists?

Right now I pretty much hate all republicans—they’ve shown that they will lie, cheat, steal and keep on suggesting violence-no matter how subtle upon those who don’t like think or agree with them.
A blue wave must happen!

I guess it’s a sign of the times that no one is too surprised by a Republican candidate saying she’s even further right than someone who would kill journalists.

There is nothing that any GOP politician could do or say now that would surprise me. And just 4 years ago all the right wingers were in a tizzy because Hillary called some Trump followers “deplorables.” They have proved Hillary to be more correct than any of us suspected and have even dramatically enlarged the number of people who fall into that category. |

Everyday republicans that vote for people like this are just as much of a problem as she is. It’s disgusting. And I agree...deplorable was too gentle of a term.

Well, at least she's being honest about who she is. And she certainly knows who she wants to appeal to. Wow. Can't even imagine bragging about that. Ick.

But...she’s so attractive and thin and well-dressed and she has shiny, long, blonde hair. Don’t you guys support women??
ETA: the historical reference and the word scribe probably did confuse a few of the real die-hard morons.

The number of times some GOP candidate (including the president) has made direct or oblique violent threats against some subset of perceived Democrats/liberals/etc is alarming, actually alarming. |

I think Portland was/is only the beginning of what we can expect in the future. The power grab is insane, they’ll just shoot or jail anyone who dissents and what’s going stop it?
This is the kind of shit you see in third world dictatorships.

The beginning of that add sounded like it was anti Kelly Loeffler, the 'look how horrible she is' kind of ad. Her opponent could use that part against her. Oh how far we have fallen.

That ad is just bizarre. It is just not normal that an ad like that can be considered good politicking.

I saw it this morning and shook my head. All the money she has and that’s the best she can do. There’s another add in the same race from a PAC, I think, that’s anti Doug Collins. The female voice is so annoying...how did that get past the cutting room?

She’s shoring up her right flank. Doug Collins is coming for her, so she thinks it helps.
As others have said, there’s not a damn thing a Republican could do right now that would surprise me.

I just read that the Atilla ad has been pulled. I guess she got focus results after it aired

Trumpsters should take note as well. Despite their gloating, they will not be spared. Especially from a president who has described them as "disgusting." |

Honestly, going by how my pro-Trump father has always acted, my guess is they think that by using an obscure word like “scribes” that Democrats will be too stupid and uneducated to understand that subtle “little joke”.

someone who would kill journalists. That is one of their goals, or to at least silence them! Trumpsters should take note as well. Despite their gloating, they will not be spared. Especially from a president who has described them as "disgusting." None too soon they will fall into the unchosen ones! |
