One of the rules we try to live by here at SexIs is: Don’t take or give offense easily. We try to be tolerant of opposing viewpoints and look for common ground. We try not to be, well, mean.
To really offend us, you have to push all our buttons, simultaneously, and then not back off an inch. So congratulations, Ladd Ehlinger, Jr. of the new political group, Turn Right USA. You’ve pissed us off.
Ehlinger has produced an ad targeting Los Angeles Councilwoman Janice Hahn that portrays her as a stripper who supports gang violence. The video features two black men holding guns and repeatedly screaming, “Give me your cash, bitch!”
Hahn is running for Congress in a special election.
A writer for Salon.com says he talked to Ehlinger, who said the ad is raising an important issue and that his critics could “suck it.”
So here’s the ad. Truly vile, or are we just being squeamish?

Nope. Not wrong. That was very offensive on so many levels. Disgusting!
i couldnt even watch it all the way through. they took advantage of 2 guys who probably didnt know any better. this ad is disgusting and im probably sure it wont make it on tv. the video is making the whole race seem like thats all they do or all they are good for. no one praised the black politicians, black doctors, black nurses, black lawyers, black scientists, etc. im black and this is just shameful and pitiful. is there anyway we can prevent this ad from going on tv???
