Wendy Davis OBLITERATES Ted Nugent and Greg Abbott With BLISTERING NEW AD

[Segami]

"..The Wendy Davis campaign is slamming both Ted Nugent and Greg Abbott with a powerful new ad that features rape survivor Nicole Anderson..."

BAM!!.........





The ad features rape survivor Nicole Anderson speaking out, “I am speaking out because it really bothered me for Greg Abbott to partner with Ted Nugent knowing his history of being a predator. I was at home. I heard about it on the news. It made me feel like the it minimized the fact that Ted Nugent is a predator. I think that it sends the wrong message that he partnered up with this man that is very vocal about liking underage girls. There’s something wrong with that. It’s not okay.”




This ad is important on a couple of different levels. First, it is telling the truth about Ted Nugent. These types of ads should make Republican candidates think twice before they decide to cozy up to, and appear with, a self admitted sexual predator. Secondly, the use of Nugent as a campaign booster by Abbott is an escalation of the Republican war on women, and the men who support the rights of all women. Abbott’s embrace of Nugent is sending the message to all voters that if Greg Abbott is elected governor, open season will continue on the rights of women.




It is good to see Ted Nugent getting called out for what he really is, but it also highlights the crucial issue in this election. Do the women and men of Texas think it is representative of their values to have the Republican candidate for governor getting cozy with a sexual predator? If Greg Abbott has no qualms about buddying up with Ted Nugent, he’ll also won’t hesitate to accelerate the extremist anti-women agenda in the state of Texas.

1. "OBLITERATES"

squared!

Go Wendy!

[yuiyoshida]

71. +1000

[brooklynite]

2. ...except that nobody will see it.

At 43 seconds, this is a web ad, that's only going to reinforce support for people already in Wendy's corner.

[IllinoisBirdWatcher]

7. So we help it along... Facebook, twitter, email to Texas friends.

Ads like this give those of us already in Wendy's corner something short and simple to send to friends.

All we need to do is send this:

[seabeyond]

18. living in texas here. put it on my face book. nt

[Skittles]

21. hey gal

just curious if you are a native of Amarillo - those are some hardy folk

[seabeyond]

24. god no. lol. i moved her from reno, but grew up in calif. it is funny

cause hubby and sons texans and i say... i live here, lol. never i am texan.

yes they are, and it is not a bad place to live, raise a family.

[11 Bravo]

32. I'm in VA, but I'm spreading it around. Let's nationalize this. Nugent is an appropriate face ...

for the entire fucking Republican party.

(Also, welcome back. As I've said before, even when I disagree with you, I respect you and you make me think.)

[seabeyond]

34. I totally agree and in a way Wendy Davis has become national. This is just an extention of that

Especially when addressing women's issues. A very good face to give to all repugs

[okaawhatever]

39. Hopefully they'll do another ad w/a Vietnam vet that tells of Nugent's draft dodging. nt

[pinboy3niner]

40. I know a LOT of vets who would volunteer for that one

A lot of us have VERY strong feelings about Nugent.

[Aerows]

43. He makes pieces of shit feel good about themselves.

[TexasTowelie]

47. Will they be playing Crap Scratch Fever as background music? nt

[Enrique]

12. it will get plenty of free airtime

thanks to Nugent's celebrity status, this will get a ton of news coverage.

[kentauros]

22. I figured you'd show up.

Why do you keep working against us? You're a Democrat. You're supposed to be on the side of all your fellow Democrats. Negativity doesn't win elections.

[brooklynite]

41. You'll be surprised to know I've met with her and contributed to her campaign...

...but that doesn't mean I appreciate bad tactics. She should already have progressives and political activists in her corner. Her focus needs to be low-information Democrats and a sprinkling of Independents. I suspect few of them know who Ted Niugest is, much less that he's a political flash point.

[Spitfire of ATJ]

25. Sometimes you can get a buzz going to where media talks about it.

[CSStrowbridge]

26. I'm hoping...

I'm hoping Ted Nugent sees it, or is told about it, because he will likely freak out, then the news media in Texas will have to cover it.

[WillyT]

38. Ah... Young Skywalker... You Have Much To Learn...

Just watch.

[LanternWaste]

61. A larger than handful number of republican friends of mine have both seen it, and commented on it

A larger than handful number of republican friends of mine have both seen it, and commented on it, on my Facebook page. So, it appears that a nit just a few more than "nobody" will see it.

[seabeyond]

72. are they at least bothered, lol, at the hypocrisy? i only have one repug on my FB

and she never comments on my liberal stuff. and i really have totally stepped away from any political discussions with all the many republicans around me. so i am curious if they just shrug, or do not even allow themselves to see the offense or hypocrisy in using nugent.

[Champion Jack]

3. Ted "short eyes" Nugent

[onethatcares]

4. W O W

Imagine that happening throughout the country. Ads that actually have truth in them instead of

actors .

[sheshe2]

5. Yes! Wendy Davis

Stands with women. Very courageous of Nicole Anderson to say the words. My heart goes out to her.

[CTyankee]

13. Nicolle is a heroine. She is very, very brave.

[sheshe2]

17. She is indeed, CTyankee. nt

[Gothmog]

6. Go Wendy-This is an outstanding commerical

Lets turn Texas blue

I keep posting that I think that Greg is running a bad campaign. This ad shows that appearing with Ted Nugent was a very bad idea.

[kentauros]

23. Indeed!

Hopefully his decision backfires even more and continues to do so. Go Wendy!

[JJChambers]

8. I sure hope she gets our nomination; Wendy Davis will get my vote whenever she runs! (Nt)

[oldandhappy]

9. excellent, thank you.

Hit like and send it to your fb page. Keep this circulating. You saw how quickly stuff got around re AZ law. We can do the same.

[Enrique]

10. oh wow

Ted is not going to like this ad. Not one bit.

[Segami]

14. Well then,...

he should try sucking on his machine gun.....that might bring some relief!

[11 Bravo]

33. We'll know Teddy truly feels threatened when he shits himself.

[bvar22]

11. DURec.

Pass it on!

[malaise]

15. Rand Paul is going to regret using that word to attack Clinton

This is excellent

[seabeyond]

16. it. makes. me. sick. say it woman. that. nt

[ReRe]

19. K&R

Honesty is the best policy. Kick 'em with the truth, Wendy Davis! I got my pink tennis shoes last weekend.
They are so comfortable! And I don't even live in TX!!

[turbo_satan]

20. He'll soil himself when he sees the ad...

Won't be the first time he's done that, either.

[Coyotl]

27. "It makes me sick." Right on.

Wendy Davis is going to bury Abbott.

[libdem4life]

28. Predator. 3 times. Brave girls...Nicole and Wendy. In your face, Mr. Crap Pants Sissy.

[Laelth]

29. Excellent. k&r n/t

-Laelth

[JoePhilly]

30. Awesome!

[passiveporcupine]

31. because pedophiles tend to condone or defend each other's actions

And I have first hand experience with that, it makes me wonder about Abbott...Hmmm.

[4bucksagallon]

35. I would prefer they go after his draft dodging. It's more in your face to cowardly NeoCons.

[seabeyond]

54. except right here and now is the issue of women and womens rights. that is what is being constantly

attacked. not draft dodging. that would not be nearly as effective as to reiterate that a women and her right does not matter.

[AAO]

36. Man, that left a mark!

[G_j]

37. Only 301 views so far

keep passing it on

[G_j]

53. now up to 10,141

in about about 12 hours.

[Eleanors38]

42. Read this Monday, since I'm on her Regular contributors' List.

[Aerows]

44. Wendy Davis rocks

I support her, and slander campaigns against her are going to fail. She is running against losers, that gather a draft-dodging idiot like Ted Nugent. He shit his pants for a month to stay away from doing his duty.

If you want that associated with you, you deserve what will happen.

Wendy Davis for Governor.

[farmbo]

45. Actually not nearly as effective as it could be, IMHO...

Nicole needs to drive home the evidence of Nuge's creepy sexual history first-- old newspaper headlines , pics of young victims, etc.
Don't assume the voters of Texas know these sordid details yet. They don't.

After first documenting his perversity; her testimony as a survivor would be much more powerful.

[leftynyc]

56. Disagree, but here's why

If Abbot or Nugent complain about it, that brings more attention to the ad which will then result in doing what you suggest - documentation of those charges - which also will bring more attention to the ad. If they don't say anything, Ms. Davis could just claim they know it's the truth and that's why they aren't fighting back. Either way, more attention to the ad which is the point.

[LanternWaste]

62. And knowing Nugent's inability to keep his mouth shut...

And knowing Nugent's inability to keep his mouth shut, I'm pretty confident he'll respond to before the end of next week. And his response, even at its best, will put him (and by proxy, Abbott too) into a negative light.

[blue neen]

46. Courageous.

[merrily]

48. Why is crazed has been Ted Nugent even relevant in politics?

[Paladin]

55. The Republican candidate for TX Governor MADE him relevant. (nt)

[merrily]

66. No, he's still irrelevant in politics. Music, too, for that matter.

[Paladin]

67. Nugent is a gift from God to Texas Democrats, this election year.

We intend on making Nugent as relevant as possible.

[merrily]

74. God told me that Molly Ivins got him to promise never to give

political gifts to Texas Republicans.

This lunatic, has been, praiser of sex with underage girls is no gift to any politician.

[Lizzie Poppet]

49. No less than a pants-crapping racist pedophile deserves.

You're judged by the company you keep, Abbott...

[mwrguy]

50. Abbott = rape

Get that out there.

[ananda]

51. Kick!

..

[nxylas]

52. Nicole is a very brave woman

Not just for speaking out about her past, but because you just know that the flying monkeys are being sent after her even as I type this, looking for anything that can be twisted into an attack on her character. Granted, it will probably be "she was wearing a short skirt" stuff that will end up backfiring on them, but I'm sure it will be traumatic for her nonetheless.

[myrna minx]

57. K&R n/t

[Erose999]

58. Ted says its "cat scratch fever," but its really just diaper rash from crapping in his pants.

[Berlum]

59. Exposing how deviant Republicon 'values' really are is a good strategery

Republicon's make a lot of nose-in-the-air, finger-wagging noise about 'family values' while in actual practice they are freaking deviants and put major degenerate kinked freaks like Nugent, Vitter and Limbaugh up for worship on their Republicon Pedestals. Sheesh. No wonder no one respects them.

[Zambero]

60. Bravo Nicole Anderson! A very clarifying statement

For years righties have carried on about their "superior values", and now people are finally getting a heads-up on what they actually consist of. Nugent's self-generated radioactivity given his personal history and recent comments will likely render him persona non grata with conservative politicians, who will not want to be featured in similar ads. The extreme right-wing base may tolerate or even laud this guy, but aside from that he's established himself as an ugly 600 pound gorilla who will not play well with those who decide election outcomes.

[The_Commonist]

63. Ah yes, the BUZZFEEDification of information.

I see nothing particularly BLISTERING there and I don't think anything will be OBLITERATED. It's a pretty good ad, but one must have decades of cultural information in order to understand it. I think to many, if not most people, it will just be "Wait, wut? Why is some woman who got raped complaining about Ted Somebody? And some politician? Whatevs..."

In order for a BLISTERING ad to OBLITERATE, it must leave no questions. There are too many questions here for it to be effective on anyone other than the choir.

Here's a list of political ads, some of which were BLISTERING and some of which helped OBLITERATE the competition:

http://content.time.com/time/specials/packages/article/0,28804,1842516_1842514_1842649,00.html

From what I'm seeing, Ms. Davis is running a terrific campaign and the other guy just sucks. This ad certainly won't hurt, but it won't make any difference.

[Manifestor_of_Light]

64. Barely competent guitarist to start and gone downhill ever since.

Amboy Dukes, "Journey to the Center of Your Mind."

He's the guitarist playing the hollow body Gretsch to the right of the singer.

But yes, he's an awful human being.

[alp227]

65. Funny how "PRO LIFE" voters who consider Davis "abortion Barbie" will support the guy

who associates with an admitted pedophile. Yet does anyone remember how Republicans often scream and yell whenever folk singer Peter Yarrow (who pled guilty in 1969 to sexual misconduct with a teenage girl but actually has good musicianship) campaigns for Democrats?

[w8liftinglady]

68. Hell...I'm going to post it on Abbott's page

https://www.facebook.com/TexansForAbbott

[w8liftinglady]

69. LOL..so have another half a million Texans

[pinboy3niner]

70. LOL!

Screw the Texas-bashing, you guys are great!

[seabeyond]

73. that would be fun. for whatever reason i got on his fb feed. left a long ole message of non support

for whatever issue it was. a lot of poeople were calling him out on that one. i think it was his sexist attacks and my post, lyin' attacks on davis. i am gonna check yours out. how fun is that.

[MynameisBlarney]

75. BOOM!!!

Head shot!
