Five Political Advertisements Not Condemned By Congress
In the wake of the political nonsense over a pretty standard attack ad by MoveOn.org, I thought it might be interesting to look at a few of the far nastier political advertisements not deemed worthy of a Congressional condemnation:
1. George Bush the Elder’s race-baiting Willie Horton ad:
2. Paul Nelson’s ad attacking Wisconsin Congressman Ron Kind:
3. “Harold, call me…”
4. David Zucker’s ad trashing Clinton Secretary of State Madeleine Albright:
5. The one that started it all: LBJ’s Daisy Girl:
These were found in five minutes on YouTube. As we all know, there are many, many more like them. So thanks for wasting our time with more political showboating, Congress.
Maybe somebody should make an attack ad on that.
