(Yes, I HAVE asked for an updated "2012" Election Forum)

The following is an ad created by "Right Turn USA" to oppose the democratic candidate in a special election to replace Jane Harman. No, this is NOT a "parody" ad. It IS the one offered by a group not so much supporting the unheard of Republican candidate, but more specifically opposing the Democrat.

As noted in the subject line, on the check list, yup - they hit racism. Yup, they hit sexism. They've also explored "A lack-of-talentism" pretty hard.

This ad was reportedly brought to us by the same guy who brought us the spots with Dale Peterson, the infamous boob pursuing Alabama Agriculture Commissioner while carrying a 30-30.

Gotta see this spot to believe it. Well, to believe it exists.




I confess, I wonder a lot about the "talent" who agree to appear in spots like this one.

We'll be seeing more of this filth for at least a year now.

Somethings odd with that video. Two people who I linked to the YouTube site's version could not watch it there; but when I linked them to your embedded version, it works fine for them.

I expect it to get much worse, too.

I initially saw it at the campaign's web site http://www.hahnshomeboyz.org Actually, an "anti-campaign" site.

Then I watched it at YouTube at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EZ3B8WvVjL4

Then I embedded it here. Didn't have any problems seeing it anywhere - wish I had.

Following the links, Turn Right USA looks like a front for something else. I'd love to know who and what is at the physical address they posted -

Turn Right USA
18016 South Western Ave Suite 223
Gardena, CA 90248
(800) 961-2034

Google street view shows a shopping plaza, but the focus is not good enough to read addresses.

The Daily Caller has an article that gives some background on the site author.

This ad came to the attention of The Young Turks. At 3:39, they include portions of another ad this same group did in Alabama.

Turn Right USA? If this country turns any more to the right, we'll be heading left.

Interesting title for the YT clip, "Most racist sexist ad in history?"

Nope.

Give me a minute, I'll post some political ads that make Turn Right's look like a Sesame Street/Romper Room convention.

Oh, I'm sorry I failed to provide MORE background. I believe this address is used for the PAC, campaign mailer and other related activities of a good buddy of mine, Tim Carey - a Republican consultant who has been active in S Cal and parts of Nevada since the early 90s.

He works for candidates for virtually any office you can think of, from local city councils, to the fringes of Senate campaigns - any Republican who has the cash.

He's also infamous for a couple of slate mailers - ads that pols buy spots in to make it appear as though they are aligned with/supported by the more prominent pols who are listed for free. One of the mailers looks EXACTLY like the state and county format for the "voter information" packet. Isn't that CLEVER of him?

I first had the pleasure of dealing with Tim Carey when I found him working on area races, and learned that the very same year he'd been busted for molesting a 12 year old girl. It was his neighbor, and three different times he brought her aboard his boat moored in Newport Beach.

The girl's father then let me know that our pal Tim was trying to get out of paying the $18k he'd been sentenced to pay for the girl's therapy - and he was doing this by saying the girl had to take HER share of the blame for the molestation.

I know lots, and lots and LOTS more about Tim, but won't bore everyone here with it. But I'm sure he'd want all of you to know that the molestation wasn't his fault. See, he was suffering from Epstein Barr at the time, and he was feeling so much pressure to win every campaign he was involved in.

At the sentencing, he did get permission to leave the country with his wife for a "second honeymoon" vacation in the Islands to help them patch up their marriage.

And don't worry - while Timmy didn't get any jail time, he was sentenced to a LOT of community service. He completed that with one of the guys who wrote letters to the judge reminding the judge that this "so-called little girl had been VERY provocative." Anyway, together, they sold Christmas trees to benefit a local non-profit - a conservative PAC. And Tim was a HUGE help in that, and that's how he served his 500 hours.

Because she hired former gang members as gang interventions specialists? Well who the F else would you use?

Once again the Republican Party - opposing the most qualified person for every job they can influence.

I'm interested to know if an actual business is at the shopping plaza, or if it is a mail drop for several groups. Sometimes it is a real business store front - a dry cleaner by day, an activist by night - using his resources to spread his views. Sometimes it is an office space rental - a cubical, a mail slot, fax machine and a phone - for one man band professionals whose enterprise has not gotten off the ground yet. Protests outside these type of businesses could potentially affect other tenants embarrassing the loud mouth, and possibly forcing him to relocate.

Sometimes it is an obscure office space paid for by a larger, more well known entity (or entities), used to launch their activist campaigns. Not necessarily occupied full time, it has a small call center and plenty of resources to mount an offensive for the cause de jour when needed off premise from the real instigator. Often, there is no name out front, and knocks on the door go unanswered. Protests outside these offices are potentially pointless and unnecessarily disruptive to the other tenants. Someone would have to trace the occupancy back to the real source to accurately direct an action.
