Y Nada

“Latinos for Reform” had planned to pay Univision $80,000 to run this ad (it’s also in Spanish) advising Nevada Hispanics that the best way to exercise their franchise is to stay en la casa on Election Day. Latinos for Reform may or may not be funded by — surprise! — the Swift Boat folks.

In the event, Univision said no gracias. But really, if they want to help Sharron Angle, shouldn’t the ads have been in Chinese?

Univision Will Not Air GOP Group’s Ad Telling Latinos Not To Vote [ThinkProgress]

If one has such an overwhelming advantage in polls as the MSM claims then why pull this shit?

Considering the voter caging tactics the GOPers have done in the past during close elections then I suspect that things aren’t as rosy as the GOPers and their butt licks in the MSM say they are.

I’m guessing that building up the Teabaggers hopes and then crashing them is the powers that be trying to ferment more anger and resentment to force changes that elections deny them by claiming that “ACORN”/tinted people/voter fraud prevented their “deserved” victory.

@ManchuCandidate:
Ithink you are on to something. I have been saying this for months. ftr I still think the dems can keep the house.
but I saw a quote on Republico from Rover boy that sounded like maybe you are right about wanting to whip them up and then cut them off and see what happens then:

Karl Rove credits the tea party with bringing new energy to the right but says that when you take a look at the grass-roots movement, it is “not sophisticated.”“Most have never been involved in politics before. This is their first experience, and they have the enthusiasm of people who have never done it before.”

We’re captive on a carousel of time. And such as.

you know, I do not think that hispanic people are stupid. I have a hard time believing this ad would be very effective. and in fact has a pretty high likelihood of backfiring

Ho. Lee. Shit.

I listened to the Spanish version. Did the announcer guy say, “don’t vote. Yes, you heard me right. I said don’t vote.” ? Por favor to help. I no parle l’espanol muy bien.

@TJ/ Jamie Sommers /TJ:

Sí, es correcto.

Oh he also blames Obama and the Demonratones for “promesas vacías” (empty promises). Como triste. He said something like “it’s our only alternative to make them take us seriously.” Um OK, logic dude.

@¡Andrew!: Gracias.

My next pregunta is what’s up with all the photos of Maxine Waters. Is she particularly hated by the Univision crowd?

@Benedick: Is that a line from Spiderman: The Musical?

@TJ/ Jamie Sommers /TJ: Not that I’m aware of, but then again while I do watch a ton of Univision, I usually only catch about every third word, especially during las noticias . Como que no, se hablan demasiado rápido.

You should all check this out. Jamie done a Publix Servix.

@TJ/ Jamie Sommers /TJ: Of course she should apologize to him after he left his pubes on a her Coke can or whatever. It’s not like he shot her in the face, in which case he’d be owed a nationally televised super-duper apology from her, in legal terms.

@¡Andrew!: Pubes on Coke cans is currency in some circles.

@TJ/ Jamie Sommers /TJ: Ho.Lee.Fuck.

@JNOV: Whoo-hooo! That was a great game. I got sunburned out there in the left field stands (last minute tickets landed in my lap from my fairy godfathers).

@Benedick: It kinda makes you wonder what must be going on in that marriage right now for her to suddenly call Anita out of the blue like that. The New Yorker says the message was left at 7:30am on Saturday.

@TJ/ Jamie Sommers /TJ: Well she’s been in the thick of a lot of the teabagging organizing, especially against health care reform, which is rich given the anti-black man rhetoric coming out of the teabaggers (not to mention recusal issues at stake, not that the conservatives ever recuse themselves from cases where, oh gee I don’t know, your son and your wife are on the legal and PR team, *cough* Bush v. Gore *cough*, Scalia and Thomas).

@JNOV: Like in the nation of Sexualharrassmeah?

@SanFranLefty: Good for you! Not the sunburn but the afternoon game. I didn’t get to see it, but I’m really not all that invested in a Phillies’ win unless someone gets tased.

@¡Andrew!: Yah. Your comment reminded me of this one.

ADD: Not comparing M2M dating sites with the nation of Sexualharrassmeah. Just thought of the things we do for love.

@SanFranLefty: Could be.

It seems her message came the same day her queen of the teabagger profile appeared in the NYT.

But still.

That was twenty years ago. Clarence got the USSC. She (apparently) got the lobbying perks to go with that. And Anita got … Brandeis Law. Sounds like a win to me. Why rub it in?

@TJ/ Jamie Sommers /TJ: The context of the ad is that the Demratones (hat tip Andrew!) haven’t done nada on migra reform with control of the House, ni un solo voto. But the subtext is that she and Rangel are coruptos, too busy with las mordidas to get anything done. Oh and plus, the Justo y Balanceado crowd has her in their crosshairs.

@SanFranLefty: Damn. I was working at home today and didn’t see it on the sat lineup. Got los Yanquis v. Arbustos on now.

@JNOV: A Garfield card probably would have been more appropriate, or a framed photo of one of those cats on a branch saying “hang in there!”

@¡Andrew!: Hah! Back in the day, before the mob casinos took over Atlantic City, there were a ton of cheesy poster and t-shirt shops on the boardwalk. One had that poster of that poor swinging kitten. I remember another poster of a kid sitting in a toilet with a pile of spaghetti on its head. The casinos came when I was ten, so I was still pretty young when I thought, “Who would let someone do that to their kid?” Even then I knew this was one fucked up world.

And, we’re back. Again. And I remain clueless why the server keeps crashing — started the morning after Countdown did BozoGate, which is why I keep suspecting traffic spikes. Or maybe somebody’s hijacking an image, and crashing us remotely.

@nojo: And here I thought that the Hindu hamsters on my end were still celebrating the holidays….

ADD: Howard Cunningham has jumped the shark died.

@nojo: Maybe /b/ got wind of you calling them brats.

@¡Andrew!: @JNOV: You know where I’ve most often seen that cat poster? On the ceiling over the examination table in an OBGYN’s office. For some fucking reason, they think that will help you relax when your feet are in stirrups.

@karen marie wants to know — Fucking integrity, how does it work?: Next Friday? It’ll be Halloween weekend, people will be distracted with pumpkin carving and their kids’ costume parties.
