Iowa Senate Candidate Will Use His Glock 'To Blow Your Balls Off'

[DonViejo]

DANIEL STRAUSS – APRIL 9, 2014, 1:04 PM EDT

Iowa Independent Senate candidate Bob Quast has a new ad out in which he waves around a Glock gun and threatens to "blow your balls off."

The ad, tuned to cheery music, is called "#GotBalls Vote for Bob Quast" and features Quast, a long-shot candidate in the race, arguing about term limits and the Second Amendment.

"If you are the sexual predator and sociopath who murdered my sister Lynette and you come to my front door to do harm to my girls, I'm going to use my Glock. To blow your balls off," Quast said smiling.

Quast takes a jab at another eye-catching ad, by state Sen. Joni Ernst (R-IA) in which she touted her experience castrating pigs.

1. This guy thinks about other guys' balls too much if you ask me. nt

[badtoworse]

2. A Dirty Harry wannabee. Sounds like something out of "Sudden Impact"

[Aerows]

3. Wow, how charming

and civilized.

[House of Roberts]

4. He doesn't have any, so he begrudges anyone else who does?

How do Iowans reproduce without balls?

[bullwinkle428]

5. What is this fucking obsession that Iowa Repukes have regarding testicular removal

fantasies?

I've lived here for over 25 years, and can't imagine how this shit even got started.


Oh, and with regards to his "term limit" desires, I will happily limit him to zero terms!

6. Now, now, let's be fair. He's only threatening one person.

"If you are the sexual predator and sociopath who murdered my sister Lynette and you come to my front door to do harm to my girls, I'm going to use my Glock. To blow your balls off," Quast said smiling.

And only in one specific situation.

If you're neither of those things, you appear to be safe, and if you're either one or the other, but not both you appear to be safe.

Or, of course, it could simply be that he doesn't know how the logical 'and' operator works.

[ChairmanAgnostic]

7. Is it me, or are those on the Right getting far, far worse?

Extremism now seems to be the norm.

[Paladin]

9. It's not just you. It's getting worse, in a big hurry.

This is what happens when a political party is high-jacked by the demonstrably insane.

[BeyondGeography]

8. He was pushing for, "Quast, fuck yeah!"

This was the compromise.

[Bandit]

10. Doesn't believe in Law & Order but wants to be a Lawmaker.

Typical..... Laws are not meant for Republicans..

[lunasun]

20. +1

[Enrique]

11. i predict he will accidentally shoot himself

sometime during his campaign.

[TreasonousBastard]

12. He seems a bit unhinged, but...

his sister was murdered and mutilated by her husband, who has served his time and is now released unsupervised, and might have been making threats against the living members of the family.

I don't blame him for being upset, but he doesn't seem all that fit for office.

(And it might be interesting to dig around and see why her killer only got 12 years)

[lunasun]

13. Holy WTF !!! a write in candidate from crazytown

US Constitution reading babies too! I fear for the dog
Ad is surreal

[JoePhilly]

15. Crazytown ... where sexual preditors come and knock on your front door!

[lunasun]

17. dance on his floor and da assault rifle comes out

[JoePhilly]

14. Um ... Sexual Preditors come and knock on your door??

Where does this nut live?

[jmowreader]

21. Fantasyland.

[otohara]

16. Guns Sure Do Make For Responsible And Polite People

threatening folks - intimidating people on the streets - what a charming bunch of dangerous people.

[Tommy_Carcetti]

18. I think they misspelled his last name.

It should have "ck" at the end, not "st."

[Sophie22]

19. I've always been fairly proud to be from and live in the state of Iowa....

but over the last few years, so often, we have been a source of ridicule. Steve King is the worst and I don't know if we can ever get rid of him. Enough Central and Western Iowa folks seem to agree with him on a lot of things...at least enough to get him re-elected.

We have Sam Clovis running now and his recent comments about not being able to impeach President Obama because he's black.
Now this Quast guy. We need some sanity here. Please !
