Great Iowa Ad attacking Dean

[dmcowen674]

1-9-2004 "I think Howard Dean should take his tax-hiking, government-expanding, latte-drinking, sushi-eating, Volvo-driving, New York Times-reading "Body-piercing, Hollywood-loving, left-wing freak show back to Vermont where it belongs."

The Club for Growth, a corporate-backed special interest group, is up on the air today attacking not just Howard Dean-- they're attacking you:

The ad features a husband and wife and opens with an announcer asking, "What do you think about Howard Dean's proposal to raise your taxes by $1,900 a year?"
The husband replies, 'Well, I think Howard Dean should take his tax-hiking, government-expanding, latte-drinking, sushi-eating, Volvo-driving, New York Times-reading ? "

The wife jumps in: "Body-piercing, Hollywood-loving, left-wing freak show back to Vermont where it belongs."

Steve Moore, president of the Club for Growth, said of the ad: "What we're trying to show is Dean is supported by the cultural elite and not by anyone with middle-American values and finances."

11 more months of fun ahead

It's going to be a funny good year.

government-expanding

Yes. Bush has only cut spending and stopped deficits.

Hollywood-loving

Again, Dean loves his good buddy, the governor or Kahleeforneeah.

Sure taps into the Hannity-Rush-watcher mentality. You know who you are, punks. Plus it features old people talking about body piercing (OMG :Q) so you know it gets the attention of the AARP crowd soon to be flush with gov't paid prescription pills. Oxycontin anyone?

I haven't been called a punk for a long time...

Hmmmmm, seems to me that the only elderly people who would be on Oxycontin are those who are in the process of dying, i.e. Hospice care (maybe an appropriate use of the meds) but then you've probably never had the fun of watching someone you loved in that particular situation.....

Who's the punk now?

Sounds like a club for growth member

He should look in the mirror.

I guess neocons will enjoy the wittiness of it and ignore the fact that its a pure farce, atleast what the husband said .

Hell I guess I'd do the same tho if I was that desperate.

PS - ...or want to for that matter

 

[Zephyr106]

They forgot to add the part about "n*gger lovin', Muslim lovin, and gay lovin." That's what would really rile up the constituency.

I'm sure the die-hards on the right will lap it up, but I think the ad is a miscalculation. It is too over-the-top. People find the ad offensive, not because it attacks Dean, but because it attacks the intelligence of Iowans. It is so transparently pandering to stereotypes, my first reaction was, "who are these sleaze-bags who think we're gullible enough to be swayed by this trash?". I wondered if it was a parody at first, poking fun at the right for their attack rhetoric.

My mom was prescribed Oxycotin and she isn't dying. Maybe you should take your ignorant and baseless lies elsewhere.

Looks like the ad was revised. It can be seen here

lol, i didnt see him spreading any lies [make sure to read what i bolded CAREFULLY]. perhaps you should learn to control your emotional outbursts?

and i thought the ad was rather humorous [stereotypical old people complaining about holywood and piercings]

Pretty easy to call someone a punk when you don't have to back it up. Your such a gutless pud.
