GOP candidate defends ad depicting terrorist attack

quote:
The 30-second ad, set to begin running on Iowa cable stations this week, depicts a hooded man walking into a crowded mall with a backpack. Over the sound of a ticking clock, the man abandons the backpack at a bench, and an explosion is heard.

"There are consequences to open borders beyond the 20 million aliens who have come to take our jobs," the ad's narrator says. "Islamic terrorists now freely roam U.S. soil. Jihadists, who froth with hate, here to do as they have in London, Spain and Russia."


In the true American consumer spirit of searching for a two-for-one deal, he plays the immigrant card and the terrorism card all in one go.

If ever we needed proof that the Republicans have no shame, this is it.

Tancredo is on the margins of the Republican Party on this issue - which politically is too bad for them because they could reenergize their base with it. I wouldn't hold my breath for more mainstream Republicans to advocate the sort of policies that would really be needed to deter illegal immigration - like more intense investigation and fining of employers because so much of the economy depends on cheap immigrant labour.

Or this. Didn't Clinton get in big trouble for this sort of thing?
