The Line Has Been Crossed
Posted: October 14, 2024 Filed under: Uncategorized 2 CommentsI saw a truly disturbing political ad, worse than I have ever seen in my life. That is saying something considering that in 2016 I saw an ad in another state that said, “let’s bring (southern state name here) back to a time between the revolutionary war and the civil war.”
Today’s ad had a disclaimer from ABC where I saw the ad, it said, “we are not allowed to refuse to run ads, but this station does not condone the content of this ad which might be upsetting.” This disclaimer ran before and after the ad.
It was photos of mutilated babies and I will not go into it further, nor name the candidate who deserves no attention. But politicians and their lying have gone too far. I watch ads where the clips and they way they are cut are clearly mis-portraying their opponents positions, but this ad was different.
We need to change the laws about what can be shown on free public airways. We should not need disclaimers before ads. No ad should be so graphically disgusting to need a disclaimer both before and after the ad runs.
We only have 22 more days of ads. Please vote. We must end this madness. Only 66% of eligible voters came out in 2020 and we knew how important that election was. Make a plan, vote early in person if you can. Don’t let anything stop you.
Less Dana, More Good 
I cannot like this post, but that is horrible and disgusting! all the more reason we need to get everyone we know to vote!
Clicking “like” for the post isn’t quite right, but what a horrible way to promote a candidate or slam an opponent. Can’t wait until the election is over.
