WTAF is WRONG with these people

Just saw this headline in the Daily Fail

Republican Senate candidate sparks fury with campaign ad showing him shooting at Biden, Nancy Pelosi and Mark Kelly - whose wife Gabby Giffords was shot in the head in 2011

A Republican candidate running for his party's nomination to face Democratic Sen. Mark Kelly of Arizona this fall has sparked fury with a new Western-style ad
Ad shows Jim Lamon dressed as a sheriff, shooting at actors playing Democratic Sen. Mark Kelly, President Joe Biden and Speaker Nancy Pelosi
Kelly is married to Gabby Giffords, the former congresswoman who was shot in the head at an event with constituents in 2011
'DISGUSTING,' wrote the founder of the group Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America Sharon Watts
Lamon doubled down on ad, which will air in Arizona during the Super Bowl
Kelly's campaign has not commented on ad but Lamon's rivals for the GOP nomination criticized it

The far right violent cray cray said: Left wing snowflakes can't stand the fact that, for once, AZ will have a Senator who will shoot straight with them & stop cowering to Biden. Their feigned outrage over our new Super Bowl ad came right on cue - but I won't be backing down,'

For the love of everything that is sane, what the actual? They have no empathy, no sympathy, no class. And they are dangerous.

1. They are evil and enjoy being evil.

That's what.

[Kid Berwyn]

20. Absolutely empire of evil

The Nazi KKKapital Mafiyas International.

And they need to be kicked to the dustbin of ourstory.

[FalloutShelter]

2. I am pissed that the network will air this.

That is where the pile on should be right now.

[Phoenix61]

3. Yep! nt

[FalloutShelter]

6. The Super Bowl will be broadcast on NBC

Have at it

[Phoenix61]

9. Thanks!

“I am appalled and disgusted you are airing Republican Senate candidate Mark Kelly’s advertisement showing him shooting at Biden, Nancy Pelosi and Mark Kelly. I strongly support free speech but shooting at anyone, whether they hold public office or not, is wrong. I can’t believe you don’t already know that. Shame on you”

[FalloutShelter]

12. Perfect!

[IrishAfricanAmerican]

13. I already tweeted them hours ago...

Link to tweet

[FalloutShelter]

15. Great! Let them have it!

[Rabrrrrrr]

34. I would bet my wages for this year that the ad is not being on NBC, but on a local AZ NBC affiliate.

I can't imagine that they'd spend the money for a national ad for a local campaign.

[IrishAfricanAmerican]

48. Yeah, that's got to be it.

[Rebl2]

49. True

[Rebl2]

14. It's republican senate candidate

Jim Lamon’s ad, not Mark Kelly.

[Alice Kramden]

30. Jim Lamon'sad

Thanks for pointing that out

[luvtheGWN]

50. Don't you mean Republican candidate Jim Lamon?

Hope you changed it before sending it.

[Phoenix61]

55. I did! And no, sadly I didn't catch it. nt

[Alice Kramden]

32. Thanks for the link. My reply to NBC:

"You should not be airing Republican Senate candidate Jim Lamon’s ad showing him shooting at President Biden & others. This is unacceptable, outside all norms and decency, and should earn NBC hefty fines for assisting in domestic terrorism. Pull that ad - do not run it - anything less is morally reprehensible."

[momta]

45. Thank you. Here's mine...

I just read that you're going to air an ad during the Super Bowl that depicts some idiot SHOOTING a gun at Biden, Pelosi, and Mark Kelly. Seriously, Mark Kelly? Do you truly think this will improve "legitimate political discourse" in this country? Please, don't.

[KS Toronado]

51. I like how you added "legitimate political discourse"

[barbtries]

52. I did.

I am shocked that they would consider running it. It's so disgusting and violent.

The USA has become quite the shithole country.

[Beaverhausen]

38. He bought time on the local station. This won't be played for the nationwide audience

Just to clear things up. Maybe contact the local NBC station.

[FalloutShelter]

39. TQ for that

I was under the impression that it would air during the national broadcast. I will contact the local affiliate, but it cannot hurt to pressure NBC across the board.
Thanks again,

[pandr32]

4. You are right

"They have no empathy, no sympathy, no class. And they are dangerous."
I hope this ad has enormous blow-back. They need to have the shit they keep shoveling pile up at their own feet.

[TheBlackAdder]

36. Yet. if someone did that to him, he'd demand an investigation and charges. How about a bag of dicks?

.

The best way to get those macho men is to humiliate them with either an ad throwing dildos at an effigy of him. . .

or

Mail a ton of dildos to his home and office. Remember this?

No one ever said it’s easy to take a stand against the federal government: it’s cold, there aren’t enough snacks, everyone is pissy, and a bunch of strangers won’t stop sending you hate mail and dicks.
Drama Alert! The Oregon Militia Boys Are Beefing Like Instagram Teens

Oregon militia organizer Jon Ritzheimer really, really fuckin’ hates Uncle Sam. But what he hates even more is all of the obscene and generally unhelpful emails and packages that strangers from around the country and Gawker are sending to his band of armchair commandos. In a new Facebook post and accompanying video, Ritzheimer says he’s sick of this garbage:

It’s sad that there are people who would spend this kind of money on this rather than spending it to do good in the world. I’m done living in fear of an oppressing force. I’m going to uphold my oath to the Constitution and sleep great at night knowing that I did everything in my power to ensure what our founding fathers did for us will not be lost.

[pandr32]

47. I do remember this!

We really need to do this again!

[paleotn]

5. Republican garbage human

irredeemable. The sooner they all die off, the better it is for the planet and everyone and everything on it.

[underpants]

7. They have to out outrage each other

It’s a downward spiral.

[11 Bravo]

10. And with the bar being set by Boebert, Taylor Greene, Cawthorn, et al ...

some really crazy shit needs to take place just to get a mention.

[CountAllVotes]

8. A batch of dangerous cowards

Pure evil!

They are a threat to the world!

& recommend !!!

[MerryHolidays]

11. The Secret Service needs to pay this guy a visit nt

[monkeyman1]

26. U.S. MARSHALL 'S OFFICE WITH A WARRANT! this is not free speech !

[maxsolomon]

16. they pick a fight to generate attention

its an age-old GQP tactic.

works in sports, too.

[llashram]

17. unprincipled and vulgar

expected from fascist pigs...

[AZLD4Candidate]

18. Every Republican running here in AZ is below scum of the Earth

It's a race to see who is to the right of Michael "The Savage" Weiner here.

[Gilbert Moore]

19. WTF

Is wrong with a network for actually taking money to play this ad ?

[Kid Berwyn]

21. They are willing to visualize political murder.

Legitimate political discourse is just their latest euphemism to lurch discussion to the right.

How else can they divert from the fact they are murderers in pursuit of political power?

[Thunderbeast]

22. Cruelty is a feature...Not a bug.

[StarryNite]

23. Lamon is one of the fake electors.

[dchill]

24. They are addicted to Trumpcrack.

[monkeyman1]

29. Adderall might fit the bill !!

[calimary]

25. The best revenge is another contribution to Mark Kelly.

And maybe a letter to the editor, excoriating this jerk for such a hideous campaign strategy. He’s okay with shooting Democrats? THAT’S his “solution” to his state’s problems?

What a catastrophic jerk!

[Catherine Vincent]

27. He prob knew it would be controversial

It get people talking about him which I think is a nobody.

[Caliman73]

28. Typical right wing strategy.

Spark outrage then use that outrage as in indicator of being targeted with a pledge to "fight".

Right wingers have a playbook for getting their message out. They portray themselves simultaneously as "Strong fighters" who are on the verge of being "persecuted".

It works well for people who are used to being in positions of relative privilege who are being asked to step outside of themselves and consider different points of view.

If I were Kelly, I wouldn't say anything. Let the right wingers and other surrogate groups fight it out.

Lamon is a POS!

[walkingman]

35. I like you analysis of the RW playbook. It does seem

to fit the pattern on issues such as religion, protest, vaccines, lockdowns, just about everything.

[keithbvadu2]

31. How long until he puts a bullseye on MK like Palin did with Gabby?

[demigoddess]

33. it is a demonstration of power to scare the rest of us.

supposed to make us bow down and kiss their feet.

[The Grand Illuminist]

40. Or daring us to literally do something about it.

That is their primary goal.

[KS Toronado]

53. Welcome to DU!

[Aviation Pro]

37. They think they have all the guns.

No....they.....don't.

[CaptainTruth]

41. I saw this a couple days ago. We should pressure the local affiate to not air it.

It's disgusting.

[housecat]

42. Sadists

[I_UndergroundPanther]

43. Sociopath trash.

[Alexander Of Assyria]

44. No hate speech laws?... disgusting, vile, evil ad targeting politicians... is legal. Digital protests

online might work, but NBC(R) has already got the $ and the desire to broadcast the evil… so, good luck with the more free speech to easily defeat the hate speech.

[Cosmo Blues]

46. KPNX is the local affiliate in Mesa Arizona for NBC

I don't really think the guy is going to spend 7 million dollars to do it nationally, I don't think the network would allow it anyway. I'm thinking cooler heads will prevail at the local station but who knows (I don't live there)

[KS Toronado]

54. I'm sure some DUer from Arizona will watch the Super Bowl

and inform us if it airs, or for that matter if it airs anytime.
