Guns! Prostitution! MURDER! This New Ron Klein Spot Is the Scariest Ad Of the Year
A political race has obviously gone off the deep end when its attack ads are easily confused with promos for "Sons of Anarchy." In fairness to Rep. Ron Klein, the Broward Dem in serious trouble of losing his seat to Tea Party fave Allen West, his race went Four Loko long before this latest gem debuted.
West got caught courting the Outlaws -- a biker gang linked to meth running -- and writing for a local biker mag that, how shall we put this delicately, "loves the titties." But holy Gingrich does this one lay the facts on thick. Click through!
The spot starts with a rumbling Harley motor and a gritty-voiced narrator growling, "Guns. Prostitution. Murder. That's who Allen West rides with." The facts are all there: West allowed the Outlaws to guard him at a rally and defended them in emails, and contributed regular columns to Wheels on the Road Magazine, a South Florida biker rag. "We don't need a politician who rides with gangs," the ad concludes.
(The piece, by the way, was paid for and produced by the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, not by Klein's campaign.)
Riptide got a raging email this morning from Miami Mike, the guy who produces Wheels on the Road, calling Klein "lower than a worm."
Miami Mike (whom Klein has filed a formal complaint against with the Capitol Police over some other emails threatening to "kick his ass") feels the ads implied that his magazine supports the Outlaws, which is not the case. Take it away, Miami Mike:
Poster Comment:
The Democrats are getting desperate with this one.
Allen West rides a Honda, and Ron Klein is lower than a worm
OK Miami Mike, we're going to kick Klein's ass on Tuesday at the polls.
