GOP Candidate's video: He's too educated and believes in Global Warming
GOP candidate: My opponent believes in global warming and has been to other countries, he is basically a monster
Seriously, you have to watch this ad to believe the depth of anti-intellectualism and anti-environmentalism at work here. The voiceover literally just reads off Varileks impressive resume got two postgraduate degrees, studied at Cambridge, spoke at a U.N. global warming summit but in a tone of voice that suggests Varilek achieved all this while smearing his face with the blood of aborted puppies.
Varilek is untrustworthy. They are as follows:
Earned TWO masters degrees who needs that much education?
Studied something called the environment, clearly code for communism.
Lived in or visited several places that are not South Dakota.
Believes in global warming.
Corn dogs.
Meanwhile, Noems achievements include receiving an award from the South Dakota Soybean Association, but at least she doesnt know anything about how soybeans work! Im actually surprised the ad missed an opportunity to note that while Noem did attend college for a while, she only went because it was a requirement of her title as South Dakota Snow Queen. Surely, with a constituency that thinks attending U.N. summits and leaving the state occasionally are liabilities in a politician, that tidbit ought to make her a shoo-in.
