Remember Rev. Wright from 2008?

"God damn America" Loffler's using it to tarnish Warnock here in GA because he gave an award to Wright.

Ad running non stop.

Display their “God Damn America” everyday in both words and deed. Those unamerican nut jobs are why Rev. Wright even uttered those words.

and has multiple degrees including a doctorate vs the idiocy coming out of the mouth of a carpet-bagger farm girl from IL playing a Georgian on teevee?

having someone live in one's head rent free, and advertising it free of charge. Don'cha think?

YMMV

Because


1. Rick Wilson did indeed make the infamous Jeremiah Wright ad from 2008 and..

2. It's relevant to the topic of this thread which concerns a politician using Reverend Wright in an ad in the exact same way (goddamn America) and the thread asks "do you remember Reverend Wright from 2008?"


So, no... I don't think.
