NBC and CBS are refusing to air this anti-Ground Zero mosque ad from the National Republican Trust PAC. Good call, since the ad is vulgar, racist, fearmongering garbage; a nauseating embarrassment that should be burned 50 times over. Enjoy! http://gawker.com/5587166/cbs-nbc-wont-air-insanely-offensive-ground-zero-mosque-ad

This ad is promoting a holy war and is down right un-American. The steel crucifix at the end is plainly obvious. Kudos to ABC and CBS for refusing to run this ad.

"all muslims and browns are terrorists"
There does seem to be an orchestrated convergence of the individual memes revealing itself now, doesn't there? Blacks are dangerously ascendant (POTUS, DOJ, NAACP, NBPP, etc.); Hispanics are murderous criminals, and some may actually be jihadis masquerading as Hispanics; and all Muslims are suspect by default.
I wonder who's next on the list? Asians? Catholics? Mormons? Jews? LVQ mentioned something earlier in the week about talk of "international banking" being a dog whistle regarding Jews.
These people are caricaturizing & dehumanizing everyone they disapprove of so they won't have to feel guilty about terrorizing them or stripping them of their rights. Or worse. It looks like they're already about halfway through the 8 Stages of Genocide list.
To borrow from Dylan Thomas, I, for one, have no intention of going gently and will rage, rage against the dying of the light.

Kudos seconded. I wonder if ABC intends to run it. And the cable channels. I'd be really surprised if Fox doesn't.

Thanks, ice. I wouldn't even have been aware of it if Killgore hadn't posted it in this morning's thread. I'm just glad I was there to see it (well sort of... it's not much fun to watch). Beyond the pale doesn't even begin to describe this one.

I could have sworn I read ABC just before. I'm getting old.
Walt Disney Co.'s ABC and News Corp.'s Fox Broadcasting said they didn't know if the ad had been submitted to their networks, The Hollywood Reporter said.

Creepy, isn't it? If the the rhetoric becomes socially acceptable and these people get near the levers of power, things could get exceedingly very fast.
