What a Great Introduction

There's this crazy lady named Missy Smith that is running for D.C.'s congressional seat. She's trying to unseat the very popular Eleanor Holmes Norton, who has been DC's representative since 1991. But it's unclear whether Missy Smith is running because she actually thinks she can beat Eleanor Holmes Norton, or if she's simply running to get her message out there. And her message is pictures of dead fetuses ("anti-baby-killing", as she likes to call it). She's causing a stir because her "campaign commercial" is a long, very graphic commercial filled with pictures of dead babies and aborted fetuses. She's obviously taking advantage of the fact that she has to be given airtime (prime airtime) as a candidate. Eagan and I were eating dinner in a place that has a TV up in the corner. I was eating, looked up, and then saw these incredibly graphic images of dead fetuses on TV and I was like "what the hell is this?!" And the commercial lasted for so long. And then at the end of the commercial, creepy Missy Smith comes on and says to vote for her. I'm sure that campaign strategy isn't going to backfire or anything...

So creeeepy

Anyway, the latest news is that crazy, anti-choice activist Randall Terry (he founded Operation Rescue) has now officially become Missy Smith's campaign manager. Sounds like a match made in Disgusting Land. TBD, a local news site and blog, had an article on this and they had a great introduction for Randall Terry:

Randall Terry -- he of the "chain yourself to the sink of an abortion clinic, declare bankruptcy to avoid making legal payments to the National Organization of Women, run for Congress under the "Right to Life Party", hire a Bill Clinton impersonator to discredit your opponents, compare the University of Notre Dame to Judas, list your "three black foster children" on your resume [!], disown one for converting to Islam, disown another for becoming pregnant, disown the third for being gay [wow, he really picked 'em!], respond to George Tiller's murder by calling Tiller a murderer" style of politics -- is now official campaign manager for D.C. congressional candidate Missy Smith. 

That's pretty spot-on.

One of their first campaign strategies has been to target their offensive commercial to black people. On some shows considered "black", such as "Everybody Hates Chris", the ads are running multiple times. They're hoping this will get votes from the African American community, which they feel has been decimated by the "black genocide" of abortion. Once again, I'm sure that's not going to backfire... People love it when you target them and "their shows" because you believe they're having too much promiscuous sex and unwanted pregnancies.
