It’s hard to believe, but Saxby Chambliss’ campaign in the Georgia runoff, which has already been characterized by race baiting, fear mongering and gay bashing has hit a new low.
Over the last few days, both the National Republican Senatorial Committee and a far-right group called Freedom’s Watch have both launched ads attacking Democrat Jim Martin for being "soft on crime." More specifically, the conservatives insist that Martin has opposed measures that would crack down on criminals who prey on children.
Of all the issues Republicans could have picked, this has to be the most offensive — Martin’s daughter was kidnapped when she was just eight years old.
The ads in question are here and here. Sick.
Meanwhile, Chambliss is still stonewalling the Imperial Sugar wrongful death lawsuit even though conservatives are calling for him to testify. Guess he’s too busy playing golf with "his folks."
Let’s kick this bum out. Support Jim Martin.

Ya gotta xpeck this: it’s Georgia. Only state with more retarded voters is fucking Connecticut.
i donated to his campaign. More power to you, Jim
Still passing around the dog eared copy of Roves playbook I see.
Is Saxby planning on cheating too?
They should bury him with Sugar and this misleading ad (crank them on the fact the he understands the pain of crim on child).
Crack Sax every day. Obama should hook up Martin. It would be great to see Max in an ad as well.
Why is this legal?

“soft on crime.” Republicans can rob the treasury to give to their cronys on Wall Street they can murder millions of innocent women and children in the ‘middle east wars’.
Whom is soft on crime…please give me a break. Cracker logic.
unfortunately, freedom of speech. Even lying, hatemongering, race-baiting, evil speech is protected. Otherwise, every wingnut watercarrier would be in court or in jail.
gee that’s a shame.
Too bad the democrats decided to reward Joe Lieberman, because honestly i don’t feel much like helping the dscc.
maybe they can ask Citibank to buy a backstop ad for him, seeing as the democrats seem to think citibank is more deserving of taxpayer dollars than, you know, taxpayers.
Any money i have to spare goes to accountability now and ONLY accountability now.
Obama Robo Call for Martin
oh and, less than stellarRepublic absentee gotv effort
o/t snoopy dance
Roll Call (subscription) reports that Tom Periello’s victory in VA-05 over the repugnant Virgil Goode has been certified:
y’all may recall my vitriol towards this troglodyte a few weeks back :D
Hey, CBL. Watching our Boeing job get boxed up. “Postponed indefinately.” Both disheartening and disturbing.
Sorry to O/T BT.
so sorry. now I am disturbed. possible food poisoning on this end
go leave katymine a note in my diary
These kind of ads backfired big time on Liddy Dole in NC. Part of the reason, IMO, was that Hagan fired right back at Liddy in the press, and in an ad.
Hopefully, Jim Martin will do the same.
Okay, so these votes are 15-20 years old and I want to know the context to pushback against it.
These will be effective for the low information voters. They’ll just see this and it reaffirms their support for the slimeball.
Martin needs all hands on deck to hit back and hard.
What a waste of oxygen Saxby Chambliss is. His soul must be so shriveled and black. When I look at Chambliss in his $2000 suits and fluffed hair, I can almost smell the hypocrisy fumes coming off the old bastard.
“Retarded” and “Crackers”. Interesting. I’m down here in Retarded, Cracker Georgialand, donating my dollars to Jim Martin, writing editorials to my newspaper, making phone calls – everything I can to help defeat Saxby Shameless (as some of us Crackers like to call him). We are having a runoff down here with Chambliss getting a little over 49% and Jim Martin garnering a little over 46% and I’m referenced as ‘Retarded’ and a ‘Cracker’. Looks to me like we’re moving at least a little more to the center. Give us some credit. Sheeesh.
Saxby Chambliss just convinced me to donate money to Jim Martin. Keep it up
DoleChambliss.What gets me about this race is there are no signs of moderation from Chambliss. He is up in the poles by 3-5% from what I can tell. I would think that anyone who is so close to losing would not be running these types of ads. Democrats in Georgia routinely run closer to republicans when they are in close elections but republicans here don’t even attempt to moderate their views. Instead they go deeper and deeper into their base.
With a name like ‘Saxby”, you know the guy’s a certifiable creep.
Pardon me, but I beg to differ. I live in Georgia, and there is no state that surpasses this one for retarded voters, not even CT. We hold the honor in that regard.
Jeez, Louise! Talk about Chambliss “The Idiot!” Gotta be from Georgia, and not only that, but gotta be from the “shallow end of the gene pool!”
