Republican Campaign Staffers Are Assholes, Part 87

Mark Kirk is a Republican running in an Illinois district against Dan Seals, a good Democratic candidate in a moderate district. The DCCC released this ad on youtube, a standard ad tying Kirk to Bush using a relatively uncreative 'Rubber Stampt Republican' message. The Kirk campaign's response? Mark this extremely generic inoffensive ad unsuitable for minors on youtube.

What's next, is Kirk going to raise money via click fraud?

Ummmm.... (0.00 / 0)

You realize that truth telling to Republicans is so forbidden, taboo, and looked down upon that neither the Republican Presidential nor the Vice Presidential Candidate would ever dabble in that risky and reckless behavior?

So, is it any surprise that any (even slightly generic) ad that hints at the truth would be deemed not safe for minors????
