Congresswoman Portrayed As A Pair Of Legs With 'Baggage' In New TV Ad

[sheshe2]

The National Republican Congressional Committee released an ad on Monday that features a thin model -- apparently intended to represent Kirkpatrick -- strutting back and forth across the screen in heels with a suitcase on wheels. Her head and shoulders are cut off in the shot throughout the 30-second ad, and the female voice in the background says Kirkpatrick "carries a lot of baggage."

The ad's main charges seem to be that Kirkpatrick is a woman and that she supports President Barack Obama. It includes soundbites of Kirkpatrick noting that she likes the Affordable Care Act and is "not going to second guess the President."

Emily's List, a progressive political action committee dedicated to electing pro-choice Democratic women, is supporting Kirkpatrick against her challenger, Arizona House Majority Whip Andy Tobin. A spokeswoman for Emily's List said she is not surprised the NRCC made a gendered attack on Kirkpatrick.

“Given that Andy Tobin is one of the very worst of the bunch when it comes to women’s issues, it’s troubling Republicans used a disembodied woman’s legs to attack his opponent," Jess McIntosh told HuffPost. "Maybe addressing women’s issues head on -- which would include a face -- is just too tough for these guys.”

Way to go GOP, you sure are trying hard to win the women's vote. That goes for you too Andy, you all make my skin crawl. What a bunch of misogynist crap!

I got something else from this. The article states that it is about her legs. Well if you look at the video, she is cut off at the waist. What you have left is a uterus and a vagina walking around on a pair of legs. We all know how they focus on our uteri. Their interest is extremely unhealthy and rather disturbing.

Try looking in our face when you talk to us. We are not disembodied parts. We are whole, living breathing women that have more sense than God gave the men of the GOP.

Thanks KarenS.

4. Sounds like the gopropaganda machine bit themselves in their a$$, she! They look

desperate and scared and of course Andy Tobin is reported to be "the worst of the bunch when it comes to Women's issues..". He proves it by getting behind a sexist pig ad like this.

Here she is from her .gov page .. she Represents District 1 in Arizona..

shite up, she!

5. Tobin is a misogynist. I wonder, why does he hate women?

Thanks for the thread, sheshe.

[sheshe2]

7. Yes he is Uncle Joe.

I don't understand anyone hating women, yet they do.

[Tobin S.]

9. I just want to take a moment and say that

Andy Tobin is in no way affiliated with the one of a kind, genuine, open-minded, trucker for feminists Tobin S. as seen on DU.

10. Disgusting. and if you pointed out the misogyny they'd say "lighten up Feminazi!!"

Just like their counter to any criticism about Sarah the Grifter, they say "that's because you're jealous that Republican women are more beautiful than liberal women." Their argument doesn't have anything to do with intelligence or merit or anything other than looks. Because women are only as valuable as their looks.

I had to snicker at your last sentence in the OP...I have had men hold entire conversations with my breasts. Some years ago a particularly creepy individual would not stop doing so at a work function and I stopped responding verbally. About 2 minutes went by till it dawned on him and he turned his face up toward mine whereupon I looked down at my breasts and said to them "well...answer the man!!!" He scurried away very quickly, while the other women in my department broke out into hysterics. It was awesome!

[sheshe2]

11. Your last paragraph, dorkzilla....

Brava!



That's why I love ya, good to see you again.

[dorkzilla]

Rep. Tulsi Gabbard

As opposed to Sarah, who's starting to get real haggard looking.

[dorkzilla]

13. LOL, exactly!

I always tell them that I've actually seen pictures of the women at the tealiban rallies so don't even go there. And yes Sarah IS very haggard looking - I get the feeling Sarah is on something...i have a relative who has a meth problem and the personalities and rapid aging are so similar that I can't help but think she's tweaking.
