Diane Ellis of Ricochet.com writes:
Dan Adler is just one of many Democrats angling for California’s 36th District Congressional seat freshly vacated by Jane Harman. But Adler‘s got something the other candidates don’t: a line of shocking, politically incorrect, and arguably offensive political advertisements.
TPM reports:
It seems clear that Adler, who is backed by former Disney CEO Michael Eisner, is going the “Demon Sheep” route, using ads specifically designed to spread online out of shock value or just sheer weirdness. In another out-there spot, former child star Patty Duke declares “Dan Adler: He Gets Sh*t Done.”

Posted on May 12, 2011 at 7:49pmWhat you saw was a small tid bit of what is called cultural Marxism, you seperate people based on their race, faith, economic condition , immigrant status, gender and sexual oriantation. It’s done to divide us all up into groups and to promote victimization of specific groups chosen by Marxist entities such as political parties, activist and strategy oriented groups. It‘s been taught in our Universities since the late 1950’s started by German marxist‘s who fled Germany in the late 1930’s and early 40′s. It has now grown and dominate‘s all studies in most of this country’s universities. One only needs to point to Bill Ayers, Ward Churchill, Noam Chomsky to name a few. It has been very sucessful and there is no sign of it stopping in fact it is as strong as it has ever been which means trouble for this country.

As far as I can tell, there cant be equal justice for all, as long as the taxpayers are footing the bill for all. Lotus.

Posted on May 12, 2011 at 7:36pmI’m Jewish, and this ad is typical of a very liberal Jew who is obsessive about seeing minorities through their own limited world view as being a helpless isolated group that liberals have to help forever.
If it wasn’t for minorities being perceived as down trodden, liberals wouldn’t know what to do with themselves.

It is pretty much this:
“Hi guys, I have no real stance on issues, except labelism! Watch me label certain people different labels, and suggest that because your that label your not getting your fair share! Instead of preaching individuality, and how individualism is ideal in a free society, let me continue to spew the labelist propaganda. Here goes: Your an Asian, I’m a Jew, and we are against the white man together!”

Posted on May 12, 2011 at 10:20pm@Snow – imagine if all Christians did stick together; would the world be a better place? I don’t know. At first yes, but “group-think” always deteriorates and eventually goes bad – I’m not sure we would be immune from that. But dare to dream :-) I’ll take Christian group-think over socialist group-think or racial/ethnic/gender/sexual orientation group-think any day

Posted on May 12, 2011 at 10:27pmMy friends …. the ultimate minority is the individual. The individual and the liberty endowed upon him by our creator was once a concept.
Liberty of the individual is the victim of the democratic party … and moreover of pure “democracy” (i.e. “mob rule”). All other minorities are irrelevant … and any real “mench” knows this.
Remember the words: “and for the republic, for which it stands”.
