ABC airs political ad during 'The View' comparing cohosts to Nazis and showing abortions
Absolutely fucking ghoulish, never heard of this clown but I hope he siphons votes from the weirdo.
It's weird how terms used by the right wing can become so twisted, words such as "Constitution". Also, "freedom", "liberty", "patriotism"....
So after a bit of digging, this is not really ABC's or the FCC's fault. There's an equal opportunity statute that requires networks to show paid political ads from legitimate candidates unedited and uncensored. They're not allowed to reject them either. Obviously it's meant to keep networks from tampering with the candidates political message and to give everyone a fair shot at campaigning, these assholes are just clearly taking advantage...
Jesus fucking Christ, that was allowed on broadcast television? What the fuck
Ooh. This fuckin guy. Leader of the constitution party. Pretty sure Channel 5 talked with him a bit. This dude is solely focused on abortion and pushing a total ban on it. I only ever see him attacking Democrats. He tried to run an ad during the super bowl but the FCC said no because it was too graphic.
Go investigate his family. There's a big chance that they have had abortion and this guy is projecting to cover his guilt/sin.
Wow, that was something very unusual. I don't fear this changing anything now that I know that neither Ds nor Rs were involved.
Gross
Wow, that was grim. Randall Terry is a fucking psycho.
Is there a link to the video (or a way to watch it, anyway) that doesn’t require signing in to YouTube? I’m not about to make an account with them for this video, but it wouldn’t play through invidious either, and I’m not sure if there are other options.
They didn’t have a choice - they’re required by law to broadcast ads from candidates that meet a certain minimum
They had disclaimers before and after explaining that they legally can’t reject political ads, which is a good thing. He’s just a rotten person with warped sensibilities.
Nazis prohibited abortion in Germany in the 40s.
Just like nazis are doing in the US today.
Hey now. Communists also prohibited abortion - specifically in Romania in the 1950s under President Nicolae Ceaușescu.
The following thirty years saw a flood of children showing up in foster homes and orphanages. Romania became a hotbed of infant human trafficking as overseas "adoption" agencies trafficked newborn children out of the country. Women pursuing illegal abortions underwent crude and dangerous procedures which periodically ended in sterility or mortality for the pregnant woman. And the surge in uneducated, unemployed youths never grew up to provide any kind of long term dividend to the Romanian economy as Ceaușescu intended. Instead, they became the vanguard of the opposition movement (a heavily fascist one, at that) which ultimately brought down the government and ushered in years of civil war and horrific bloodshed.
The modern Romanian state still carries the scars of a policy that put pregnancy before human decency and economic growth ahead of quality of life.
How does "The communists did it too" make it better?
that you felt the need to post "but the communists!" after someone points out that Nazi's did the same thing the people who created this ad would do is extremely telling.
You just admitted to being a Nazi, what a strange decision.
