dreamvoid 10/12/18 9:08:58 PM #1:	https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2018/oct/11/negative-political-ads-republican-racism Expert says Donald Trumps effective reliance on personal attacks have caused racist and bigoted ads to become more prevalent Negative campaign advertisements are as familiar in US elections as door-knocking and yard signs. But as the 2018 midterm election campaign pulls into its homestretch, Republican attacks in two congressional races happening 3,000 miles apart have triggered alarm bells for targeting non-white candidates in an apparent effort to highlight their otherness. The first comes from Californias 50th district, where Ammar Campa-Najjar is running as a Democrat for a seat currently occupied by the Republican Duncan Hunter. NBCs Chuck Todd, a veteran political reporter and commentator called the spot maybe the most shocking and outrageous political ad Ive ever seen, in a Meet The Press Daily segment. The ad zeroes in on Campa-Najjars heritage his mother is Mexican American and his father is Palestinian calling him a Palestinian, Mexican, millennial Democrat who is working to infiltrate Congress and a security risk. At best its desperate. Thats putting it mildly, said Campa-Najjar, who also called the effort blatantly ignorant and unhinged from reality. Last Wednesday a bipartisan group of dozens of national security veterans decried the spot as a racist and bigoted attack. The baseless allegation that he is somehow a security threat is an affront to our professionalism as national security experts, our American values, and our collective national dignity, the group said in an open letter. The ad accuses Campa-Najjar of being supported by the Islamist Muslim Brotherhood with no evidence, and despite the fact that Campa-Najjar is a Christian. Its just so interesting that we live in a world where Islamophobia even extends to non-Muslims, Campa-Najjar told the Guardian. On the other side of the country, attack ads on a black congressional candidates former career as a rapper have taken on racist undertones in a district that, like Californias 50th, is predominantly white. Antonio Delgado, a Harvard Law graduate and Rhodes Scholar is running as a Democrat for a seat in New Yorks 19th district currently held by Republican John Faso. As a young man, Delgado released a socially conscious and political hip-hop album under the name AD the Voice in 2006. Since the album came to light, a number of Republican groups have seized on it to paint Delgados flirtation with hip-hop as out of step with the values of the district. The Congressional Leadership Fund released an advert spot referring to Delgado as a New York City liberal and [Nancy] Pelosis candidate before clipping a handful of Delgados song lyrics, overlaying dramatically loud bleep sounds over words like fuck, sex and porno. The ad also accused Delgado of lacing his raps with extremist attacks on American values, playing a clip where Delgado states, factually, that more civilian lives were lost during the Iraq war than the 9/11 attacks. Faso didnt place the ads, but has not condemned them either, saying in a statement this summer that Mr Delgados lyrics paint an ugly and false picture of America. The subtext of the ads was seemingly illuminated in a New York Times article from July when Gerald Benjamin, a friend of Fasos and director of the Benjamin Center at State University of New York at New Paltz, posed the question: Is a guy who makes a rap album the kind of guy who lives here in rural New York and reflects our lifestyle and values? i don't like attack ads and i certainly am not a fan of how they have proliferated in the wake of trump. --- https://imgur.com/2Qfzt9X https://imgur.com/qlXpj2E https://imgur.com/rPe48jC https://imgur.com/5xltd3r <cite>dreamvoid posted [p:910432705] in Republican...

Funbazooka 10/12/18 9:27:45 PM #13:	Expert says Donald Trumps effective reliance on personal attacks have caused racist and bigoted ads to become more prevalent Except that's not what their expert said. David Schweidel, a professor of marketing at the Goizueta Business School at Emory University said ads like this may increasingly be more en vogue in the post-2016 election climate largely because Trumps well-documented reliance on personal attacks proved effective enough to win the White House. We saw pundit after pundit kind of commenting on the fact that these personal attacks werent coming across as presidential and how its the wrong temperament. Well, guess what, people responded to it, Schweidel said. Schweidel was part of a research team that looked at the effects of negative political ads in a 2018 study. They found that negative advertising persists because, as much as people say they dont like it, its extremely effective. --- "Don't trade your authenticity for approval." -Kanye West <cite>Funbazooka posted [p:910433563] in Republican...
