Just when you think rethuglicKKKans couldn't sink to a new low they come along and shock you. Well no one is really shocked. They've always been the party of racism, bigotry, hate, hyperbole, and hypocrisy. What's even more despicable is their brain-dead parasitic bottomfeeding base starts defending this crap.

As pointed out above, the entire premise of the ad is based on a lie. As such the video is without a doubt racist and sexist, and Mr. Ladd is nothing more than a bigot.

TurnRightUSA says their mission is to lampoon politicians with videos. That's not offensive. They have the right to do that without apologizing.

"Haun calls for a federal investigation into Huey campaign":
http://www.wavenewspapers.com/news/local/Hahn-calls-for-federal-investigation-into-Huey-campaign-123971694.html
Sounds a lot like the liberal "investigation" of Sarah Palin!
1) Eleven reporters from the NY Times to dig up dirt on her book, "Going Rogue" ....they found nothing!
2) Total review of some 25,000 e-mails from the former Alaskan Governor's office .....turns up nothing!
Methinks the liberal BSer's are planting everything.
How funny, and how typical!!

Once again the GOP shows the world their complete lack of class or ability to conduct normal conversations. Move aside, Republicans, because we don't have time for your tea party conspiracy theories about Kenyan birth certificates. The grown ups have to run the government and get some things fixed, so just go away.

That's what liberty is about. An independent corporation is free to produce offensive campaign commercials, and Mort Zuckerman's corporation US News is free to produce mundane, boring-as-hell blog posts.
And “So Suck It, McCain-Feingold," is just another way of saying: God bless the Founders for giving us the First Amendment.

No one can now stifle any future Hillary: The Movie movies:
"The lower court decision upheld provisions of the McCain–Feingold Act which prevented the film Hillary: The Movie from being shown on television within 30 days of 2008 Democratic primaries.[1][3]"

Yep, that's right, can't be denied, Citizens United got started because somebodies didn't like the way Hillary Clinton was portrayed in Hillary: The Movie.
Different story though with Fahrenheit 9/11, which was critical of Bush.
Right out of the block first thing Milligan does here is shoot herself in the foot by attacking free speech. But what else would you expect from someone whose only opinion on big-liar Anthony Weiner was that the media treated him 'inexcusably' -- during his big week of l-i-e.
And the same clucks who chime that Citizens United will allow foreign governments to influence elections here -- namely Obama -- are the same clucks most ready, willing, and eager to sell federal treasury debt to China to finance debt-based stimuli.
With each passing post, Milligan appears more and more like a paid RIGHT-wing blogger, paid to portray the lefties and dems as ridiculous and stupid. And she's giving 110% on that effort.

This ad has exactly WHAT to do with the Citizens United ruling?
An add produced by some sophomoric individuals is now somehow indicative of what we can expect to see from corporations?
Only a Leftie brain could figure out the logic of that linkage.

I'm wondering exactly how this is the fault of Citizens United? This is obviously a pretty low-budget affair (as the producer states here: http://www.salon.com/news/california/?story=/politics/war_room/2011/06/15/hahn_offensive_ad_ehlinger), there's no reason at all to believe that this ad couldn't have been produced under pre-Citizens United rules and regulations. The First Amendment has always protection noxious speech, particularly in politics, so that's hardly the fault of Citizens United either.
It's certainly true that campaign finance 'reform' has led to people giving more money to outside and independent groups rather than parties and candidates, and that does diminish the ability of candidates to keep their own campaigns front-and-center in front of voters. There's a very simple solution to this, lift all the limits.

Dear Shoe,
It must be wonderful to be able to pretend to be so ignorant sometimes...or at least I hope you're pretending, because if you truly are that ignorant I really feel sorry for you...
