Democratic political ad. If this man rapes you, Republicans say you must have his baby.

Insert nastiest looking actor they can find, Make him look as scary as possible.

They would do it to us.

I would love to ask a Repug if a black man forcibly raped your wife or daughter, would you make her keep that blessing from God?

7. Why not? The GOP has gotten away with worse for the last 20 years.

It's distasteful but unlike Republican tactics there is no lie or distortion involved. An ad like the one you described would be pointing out a proclaimed value contained in their own platform.

We've gotten to the point where it's negative dirty campaigning when we just point out their own words and actions. Why should we enable them by hiding the ugly truth from the public?

We all know there's only one hypothetical rapist who would really scare Republicans -- call him "Willie Horton Take 2" -- and it's the one that Democrats would not only never think of using but would do incalculable damage to our country by even implying.

So I think it's best to abandon this whole line of thought as quickly as possible and quietly tiptoe away.

What the ad should say that the republicans want to policize rape - under Obama - this is a private matter.

Nasty is all the pukes understand. Ask Kerry what being nice got him. We are fighting back lately and the pukes heads are spinning, I say keep it up. Fire with Fire. Most replies to the post agree it is time to fight back. We all have our own opinions on how to get to a win and you are surly entitled to your opinion, thanks.
