Pete Hoekstra's (R-Loserville) racist ad against Senator Debbie Stabenow (D-Michigan)

The man is a total ass in the first place. This doesn't surprise me. West Michigan is known as a hotbed of far righties, so it probably enhances his standing there.

What a guy.

If it wasn't for federal government spending, Michigan's economy would be totally annihilated instead of just dire.
