Inching ever closer to complete parody...

I don't think there's a single person actually living in SF that would have hair like the woman on the right. Maybe a drag queen doing a parody of Jersey mall girls, haha.

Anyway, what's this supposed to make us afraid of? That we'll all be forced to wear 1980s clothes and dance to crappy music?

Yo Graves!

SF Values are all the rage this year . . . Perhaps you should try linking Barnes to Obama and Reverand Wright!

INQUIRY: Has Cheney been to Graves' District to fundraise for him yet?

Bizzare ad, but the line that got me ROFL was

I'm Sam Graves and I approved this message.

Really??!

I see what you mean about that ad. Shocking! We don't wear that much pink in San Francisco! We tend to associate pink with Republican housewives in the midwest.

Maybe Democrats should start running ads with southern inbred toothless rednecks with their southern hillbilly values ads. Maybe someone can explain to them for the 1000th time that Iraq did not attack us on 911 or that people so goddamn dumb and completely uneducated about the world outside their trailer parks should maybe not be deciding how this country is run. Maybe 8 years of Bush has convinced anyone with any common sense that rednecks should not try to run the world. Maybe.

There was something phony about that ad and I couldn't quite put my finger on it. Then it hit me. The guy in pink drag on the right is actually a woman! Now THAT'S shocking!!! Clearly that ad was not filmed in my beloved San Francisco!

Although she could be a tranny, which is totally cool.

Hey, I didn't have to try to sign in 15 times this morning.

Thanks Josh, Greg, Eric, Al Shaw (who returned my email and fixed my problem!)

Ads like that just make me laugh out loud. Silly silly silly. The GOP has become the party of Silly. Of course, a lot of the electorate ate up Silly for a long time, but now that they're paying $4/gallon for gas, living in their cars and eating dog food, Silly just doesn't cut it anymore. Sorry it's taking a national economic crisis for people to get their priorities straight.

Funny thing about this though... only 1 of California's 7 Supreme Court Justices is a Democrat. The other 6 are Republicans....

It's the most boring party ever in SFO, a real insult to a great city to be honest.

Very Helms-like of 'em.

Don't call SF 'San Fran' ever Frisco is out too. Grrr.

No one's commented on the fact that there's nothing very gay about a man dancing in between two women. Apparently Missourians' eyes would melt if they had to see two men dancing together, so they've replaced that image with the more regionally-appropriate one of a black man who lives to rub up on white women (while ignoring a perfectly good one of his own kind).

There's nothing too coherent about the visual substitution, but hey, it doesn't matter...they're Not Like Us!

Actually, the woman's hair-do reminds me of one of the strange eastern-European crypto-whores from the movie "Mouse Trap." Very eastern Europe (Russia? the Baltics?) circa 1997. Have you ever seen Russian disco-style music videos? Very strahnge.

Or maybe the IHT fashion writer Suzie Menkes--even strahnger. (Remember to from now one speak in nothing but her bizarre nasal lisp. It's the New Speech Impediment.)

And I thought the commenter robbymack was kind of making the same comment as professordarkheart about one dude and two women.

Maybe San Francisco killed Tupac!!!!

These kind of ads are sooo insulting to the intelligence of constituents. I would vote against the guy based solely on the ad.

The Folsom Street Fair, Gay Pride Parade and even the mostly straight Bay To Breakers would cause panic in the rest of America. Here we just yawn at that stuff.

But we're not really part of America.

Has anyone pointed out to the Missouri GOP that CA state court rulings aren't going to do anything in MO?

This ad is absurd - I think most Americans - Democrats and Republicans - would agree that San Francisco is one of our best cities - and hardly the gomorrah that the radical right likes to play it up as.

How much do you want to bet that the people behind this ad haven't even been to San Fran? I'd be the first to buy them a bread bowl chowder and show them around.

Instead of going after people's jugular's - we need to try to engage the other side - and try to show them that we have way more in common with each other than we have differences. That's the only way we're ever going to achieve any sort of progress in this country.

Let's work on getting positive and getting things done.

"San Francisco values"?

Ha! It sure beats the GOP values of Larry Craig, David Vitter and Vito Fossella!

The ad is so lame I "had" to watch it a couple times. Are we sure this is a real ad? I mean it is so lame you almost think some one did it to make Sam Graves look foolish.
