1. I thought the only true Americans were the aboriginals.
The rest of us are invaders, squatters, carpet baggers.

3. C'mon. Do you have some context for this so we can
sort of understand what you're talking about? Words are free. You may use as many as you need to write original posts on DU.

OP is referring to, you be the judge. I think it will be an extremely effective ad for the Rethugs, it plays to all their prejudices. "This November lets chose a smaller more caring government one that remembers us". I take (us) to mean (us wasps not those other people). You know the ones that took our country.

9. That's it! A one-size-fits-all RW ad that can be run anywhere.
Brought to us by a group I've never heard of before.

We're going to be seeing a lot more like that as Election Day grows closer.

4. I didn't see a single person of colour in that ad.
In fact, I don't think I saw any "ethnic-looking" white people either.

I'm Eastern European/Jewish with dark hair and dark eyes, and I don't think I would have looked white enough for that ad.

You know, the people who want their country back?

Oh, and StormFront, of course. And FAIR. I'll stop there--I need to go rinse out my mouth...and wash down my keyboard and monitor...
