‘F— the NRA’ a Classless ‘Hail Mary’ Play for Attention by Deservedly Desperate Candidate


[H]e can get away with being a foul-mouthed oath-breaker and a subversive gun-grabber because the district he’s running in is overwhelmingly Democrat. So it’s not like truth and decency are concerns from a constituency that would vote for any of the proto-Marxists in the field. His problem is, other candidates have raised significantly more money than he has, so he has to throw a desperate “Hail Mary” for name recognition and to stand out. [More]
He seems the last person to be dictating to the rest of us on the safe and responsible use of anything.

    Great article. Well worth the wait.

    As for:

    "That’s new to me, and it makes it fair to ask what else a candidate could run in a political ad that would otherwise be a regulatory violation."

    Not new to me. It's a federal regulation that has been exploited a few times, usually using the S*** word.

    This is a new low.

    It was Barry Commoner from Common Cause who pioneered this legality.
