TPMtv: Sleaziest Campaign Ads

[jodavidable]

looks like MCCAIN was right,republicans were all right. obama is a piece of shit.

[Rainmaker1113]

Tom periello looks NOTHING like in the commercial.

[Cakerolled]

FUCKTHE LIBERAL ESTABLISHMENT

[RustyTBone69]

These ads all pander to the white trash loser element of the Republican Party.

[whichway103]

Hey, if it's true. . . . .

[soakchips]

Lol the one at 2:03 is the worst by far..

[crusader199017]

Its pretty clear a democrat made this video

[InsidetheEclipse21]

Alright then, how many Democrat attack ads can you name as bad (or worse) than the ones in this video?

[pml4010]

even dole's campaign advisers admitted that the ad harmed her campaign more than it did help it. but to be honest, dole was by the far the most useless senator so her defeat was already cut out for her. she just needed to sink to a lower level of calling her opponent 'godless.' religion = trump card of politics. glad to see we're leaving the george w. bush era of expressing your faith as a virtue to cover up your failures.

[workingclasstheist]

Vote McCain: If you were running for Prez he'd vote for you! :p

[JimmyeDallas]

The sleazy Democrat ads don't hold a candle to any of the Republican one's.

"Godless America? What is this science you speak of? What do you mean atoms move arbitrarily and that there is no divine force controlling them? Evidence? Logic? Rationality? Must be liberal propaganda."

[JerezJulio]

Slander your opponent at all cost

So much for conservative values.

[TheWildDove]

Liddy Dole totally disappointed me with the Kay Hagan ad, she was one of the few republicans that i had some iota of respect for and this was one of the sleaziest ads I've ever seen in politics. She deserved the defeat she got.

[jmurphy914]

Strange how every ad picked for your "awards" is a Republican... say, are you a Democrat by any chance? I have seen outright sleazy Obama ads, Where are they? I have seen VERY sleazy ads from Hillary too, I guess she gets a pass. What in those ads you chose is a lie?

[elfred1980]

Obama doesnt want kindergartners to have sex. I mean, seriously.

[vladninja69]

That bill was to give children lessons on avoiding sexual predators. Republicans just like to low small things out of propotion to make people scared.

[elfred1980]

exactly. I'm curious if any Mccain voters showed up because they thought their 5 year old we become sexually active otherwise.

[Antoshik81]

San Francisco Rocks! :)

[tenniscrazy2]

I HATE Virgil Goode. He is from Franklin County which is about 20 minutes away from where I live. They actually have a HIGHWAY named after him.

I went to Greensboro this weekend, and we had to take that highway, and, literally, every five minutes there is a sign saying "Virgil H. Goode Highway"

Thank god Perriello won.

[Metallimeister]

There is no god

[stalebiscuit]

two questions

one.......why were all 5 of the commercials featured republican?

two, what the fuck is TPM tv and why is it sponsored by youtube videos right now

fuck this video

[elfred1980]

Because Republicans are sleazier

[MrTripi]

sooooooooo much sleazier

[iloveme0330]

"Because Republicans are sleazier " ... can't agree more!

[SubmarinerAndroid]

Seriously, the people who came up with the "Godless" and "Sex Ed" ads should be legally barred from having any association with politics or politicians ever again.

[deathdoomndstruction]

"hid from cameras and took godless money"?

HAHA

so just because its an atheist group giving her money, its "godless money"? does that make it a sin to take or something? what happens when you go to china and most people are Buddhist? is their money "godless" too?

that is such a bad advertisement

i bet if the godless americans group offered her money, she would take it. a lot of politicians are greedy slimeballs, like the one that made this ad

[PazPraSempre]

Lol on the San Francisco values (being a SF citizen myself). Anyone who believed the Obama-Sex Education ad is a moron.

[implicaverse]

Obama has appointed neocons to run his foreign policy and investment bankers to run the economy.

[freeverb]

I know we have all kissed and made up but Hillary's 3AM ad is topping ym list for the award! Make it a write in!

[GretchenDawntreader]

I will always vote for anyone who is tagged as having San Fransisco Values. I live in Ohio, "the heart of it all," and San Fransisco speaks for me.

[scotdavis71]

Yes, all these ads came from Republicans. Only Republicans do this sort of stuff. Democrats never engage in attacks. We all know that the Dems are 100% honest.

[SubmarinerAndroid]

What were the sleazy Democrat equivalents of these ads?

[Clemenza6]

Haha, exactly! Or better yet, Dan Rather's 60 Minutes episode 5 days before the '04 election telling America "George W Bush dodged the draft". Liberal media can SPIIIT ON ITTT

[scotdavis71]

I actually had to listen to both Saxby Chambliss and Jim Martin sling mud at each other. Both of those guys were full of it--and yes one was a Democrat and the other Republican. Anyone who thinks that one party is inherently evil while the other is totally angelic is highly naive.

[wastemgmt07]

agree....but you and i wonder why these constituents keep voting for the same scumbags over and over again.....not my fault

[SquallCloud]

That godless America one is funny as hell, but I'm going to go with Obama teaching kindergarten's about The Sex. That one takes the cake. Also 24/6 did a parody I think where Barack answered back and it was amazing.

[morais691alexandre]

Is it just me or did all of this ads come from the republicans?

[discgolfer123]

Eh cut them some slack, they're just trying to stop godless americans from teaching kindergarten kids that being gay isn't a crime.

[Xophod]

I'd vote for the people who don't beleive in god.

[earthwormjah]

As a San Franciscan, I am personally offended by the third ad - there is no way in hell we'd be caught dead listening to that shitty music.

[JohnRhysMusician]

TPM sucks! Liberals suck! MITT ROMNEY 2012!

[adnmoh1]

you suck, like gloryhole queen. now squeal! piglet!

[d5486]

wow.. `home of the free`...

[Plecter]

These kinds of commercials are illegal in my country.

The way they spread misinformation is appalling.

[grazon]

Dole's taking a shot at the faith of a lady who's an elder in her Church is pretty low.

[DillonX]

The Democrats ran sleezy ads too, but none that could top these.

Our GOP needs to clean up our act, and start presenting positive messages rather than all the ads attempting personal destruction.

The American Public is sick of it -- as evidenced by the last election.

[masm13]

And every ad was for a republican. Is the word FEAR now a registered trademark of the republican party. You guys need to borrow some of Obama's hope. How dull and dismal you guys must be lies, fear, distorting the truth. How founding fathers would be so proud. i bet Thomas jefferson is just beaming from ear to eat to know the direction you have taken his party. congratulations. and may karma come back to visit each of you and deliver what you have earned.

[McSoustenfrugal]

Damn dirty sleazy Christians!

[bayernownz1995]

HE WAS BORN IN HAWAII

[bayernownz1995]

He was born in Hawaii, which, if you republicans dont know, is now part of the US. Also, fun fact: If u r born in the US, u r a US citizen.

[Plutonwolf]

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH­AHA

Thank you SO much! I savor your anguish like a fine vintage whine. After 8 years of Zippy the Pinhead, you owe us a damn good deal of squealing! Squeal on little piggy, squeal on!

[faething]

NewChristianSoldiers, I think the media would be all over this if these lawsuits were backed by credible evidence. And if it were true, it's as if you think that this would be an awesome time to plunge the USA into chaos without a clear leader. Besides, there are a lot of Bush's allegedly anti-constitutional policies that weren't tried by the US Supreme Court. Obama is going to be the 44th president of your country whether you accept it or not. Are you planning to move away?

[puellanivis]

*rolls her eyes* omg... OK, look, Obama was born in Hawaii, or at the very least has a certificate of live birth, which we know exists, as well the state has verified his birth. McCain, however, was born in the Panama Canal Zone, which is not US soil. Is he natural-born? Turns out, US law recognizes both jus soli, and jus sanguinis. Obama is a natural-born US citizen by being born to a US citizen. END DEBATE, now shut up.

[patiam1969]

Look, the sepreme court was gonna take up the case on his citizenship after the Hawaii found faults with the border on his "certificate of live birth", cause the border didnt match the year. Appears they change the border yearly to ward off fraud. Then they decided not to take the case in better interest of the country, it appears that black folk have a bad history of burning down cities when shit goes wrong, and no one wants to see America burn so I guess we will never know.

[patiam1969]

Frankly I couldnt give a shit where he was born, he will be the new president in a few weeks, dont really care for his policies but McCain showed who he really was after the election and the whole country dodged a big bullet with B.O. winning. THE citizen debate is getting old and tiresome.

[Y2ANJ]

the sad part is that Sam Graves won by a sizable margin. yeah his ad was definitely the worst/best.

[smurph1984]

Among those five, Sam Graves ad is (in my personal view) the worst.

[MooseOfReason]

I don't think that Freedom's Watch ad is sleazy.

[corleone89]

I voted for Obama but I find it hard to beleive that there is not a single sleazy Democratic ad to make the list.

[LeFoiHyene]

Can you think of anything that could possibly compare to the Obama Sex Education or the Kay Hagen smear ad?

[patitofeo76]

I'm sure there are sleazy ads put out by Democrats, but they are a lot harder to find than the ones made by Republicans. I've been looking for the Dem's negative ads for the last 20 minutes and haven't been that lucky. The art of negative campaigning is a Republican tradition.

[JosephBen007]

Lolll about the San Fransisco Values

[Sangfroidation]

Wow, these are definitely the sleaziest campaign vids I've ever seen.

[Joe402]

I hate how the word "liberal" has been turned into some sort of slur. I'd like to see the word "conservative" turned into a slur.

[mr2oad]

If all that money went to the public projects instead of media based negative campaigning ads wll be better off today.

There is a reason why they made the campaigns last for two years, to suck all that money out of negative political advertisement.

[Gilgamesh387]

they photo shopped a beard on Tom Perriello.... now that's low!

[monalisasmiles4you]

Stupid negative advertising.

[glamourknight]

The San Fransisco one was just absolutely beneath reproach

[christy05h]

They are all horrible

[Darusdei]

does the US police make fake sells to arrest people who are trying to buy drugs?

[srminton]

these ads are all pathetic and laughable, it's true, but so too are many of the ads posted by Democrats; both sides are really no better or worse, in any and every election. Right wing attacks have a tendency towards brazen stupidity, but liberal attacks play just as fast and loose with the truth of things in a different way. Republicans portray all Democrats as soft on crime and terrorism; Democrats portray all Republicans as soft in the head and corrupted by big business. And so on and so on.

[djglass82]

RIGHT ON!!!!

I feel the same way!

[LuYuRoFr]

Graves against Barns was retarded at its own level.

[JobDDT]

Graves was the worst by far.

[sisforshayla]

each ad could have been sleazy enhanced with clarifications following each one. like hagan wasn't the one talking at the end, like dole made it look. and perriello looks NOTHING like how goode portrayed him. etc.

[GeorgiaREbroker]

As you must know, I don't keep an archive of Democrat political ads. However, Democrats were merciless in attacking John McCain and "McLame" (making fun of his wartime injuries) and making Palin out to be a redneck floozie. They were disrespectful as well as hateful. Oh, yes, thanks for the ad hominem attack -- the trademark of leftist hate mongers.

[aphexmandelbrot]

But he was lame.

And his arms are useless like a T-Rex.

And she was a floozie.

hell, i should write these ads.

[eljefereal]

For those curious... Results (in %) of the elections mentioned:

1) Hagan (D), 53-44

2) If you don't know by now...

3) Graves (R), 59-37

4) Chambliss (R), 57.5-42.5 (runoff)

5) Perriello (D), 50.11-49.89 (158,810-158,083, 727 votes)

[hellshade2]

my vote is for the godless americans. unless you can actually prove god exists because if you can't then we are all GODLESS.

(steps down from soapbox)

[thehistorysage]

The public school monopoly LMFAO. KInda like the PATRIOT Act. Next from Republicans will be the STAR SPANGLED Medicare Dismemberment Act, or the RED WHITE AND BLUE take it up the poop-shoot privatize social security Amendment!

[GeorgiaREbroker]

What a joke. You have selected only Republican ads against Democrats. You are obviously just another leftist front group masquerading as news and information. The only people you socialist/progressive/Marxist/­communist propagandists are fooling are yourselves. You are sowing the seeds of an ever stronger resistance from the political and cultural right, and in so doing you are destroying our society. But, then, that is your aim.

[prognost]

What ads would you nominate from the Dems that would surpass any of these in terms of sleaziness? By the way, your comment was pretty sleazy too.

[no1dwilletfan]

if your complaining about a lack of dem ads you should make a video with all the 2008 democratic campaign ads more sleazy than these and show everyone the link so we can all watch it

[AustralianStallion90]

Notice how they are all Republican ads.

[adamsonxxfifteen]

The Sam Graves one is just terrible... 1:32 LOL!

Liberal has such a connotation in these ads... I love it!

[bayernownz1995]

the sex ed 4 kindergardeners was just teaching the 2 stay away from predators.

[beccahday]

right. :)

[WKaliber1]

predators are mostly republicans so thats why republicans didn't want that bill to pass

[kissfan7]

The Kay Barnes one wins hands down. The combo of the horrible music, the crypto-homophobic "San Fransisco values" line repeated again and again, and the lame "dance party" are all too much.

The "sex ed for kindergardeners" gets honorable mention.

[beccahday]

i know! i live in san francisco and i just laugh sooo hard at that!! :D extreme hilarity. and the sex ed is the sure runner-up.

[Mekel343]

Dole wins.

The voice at the end of the ad which says "there is no God" isnt even her opponents voice!

[zapponsalvia]

I'd really like to see a spoof negative ad about Saxby Chambliss being a child molester, after he grabbed his niece's boob in that campaign spot.

Saxby Chambliss: Touching kids inappropriately!

Gotta vote for Dole though, what a shameful embarrassment she is. If her husband has a legacy, she burned it up into nothing right there.

[truescorpio14]

I love how they use the term liberal as an insult and a character flaw, pretty sure liberals have been responsible for just about all social progress in this country to date, womans right to vote, end of segregation, end of slavery, removal of bans on interracial marriage, the conservatives have always wanted to keep those things, yet its liberals that are bad for america? good one

[jericho4119]

Saxby Chambliss is going to be hard to beat in this category - and this ic coming on top of his scurrilous campaign against Max Cleland six years ago!

One more campaign season like these two and we will have to retire Saxby from this category with a lifetime of sleaze award.

[1garageboy]

Dole wins, no question.

[bbnemesis123]

Why are all the campaign ads from Republicans on Democrats? This is clearly Liberal choices. allgoo19...you're so wrong. The ratio is closer 1:1 then 100:1. Both sides gave atrocious ads. SMEAR campaign ads need to out-lawed. Japan and France are the only places in the world that doesnt allow smear ads. In the US, corporate tv needs the revenue from the ads, so corporate tv will run anything (No Matter How True It Is). What's wrong with US society? The ads from BOTH sides shows why....

[MKB2814]

What about the Coleman ad against Franken?

The one where he used a bunch of has been celebrities to insult Franken?

[MarquisdeBarrabas]

That one was remarkably sad/pathetic, not sleazy.

[andid]

Wow, these are super sleazy.

[acerusso]

some of these were a litle sleazy but a lot of them brought up great points.

[mcalien24]

I called sam graves office to see if i could get that music...

i wanted to throw a "san fran values" party...who wouldnt, that dude was dancin with 2 hotties.

anyway, they hung up

[Shredwizard90]

that first one pissed me off...are they trying to make me feel bad for being an atheist?..fuck u and fuck god too

[TheWayISeeIt1982]

That Periello guy is actually white! Or Italian better said, they darkened his picture to try and make him look scary.

[jaws900]

The first one is correct. there is no god. FACT!

[dragonfox312]

more like THEORY

[jaws900]

More like God is a Theroy. you can't prove a negative. If i said prove DON'T that Lepracorns exist you can't. It's impossible. the same goes for Unicorns and Divine Beingins.

[dragonfox312]

its a leap of faith

not a theory

[DarthClam]

summary of the last two:

mrmblraghrLIBERALmhfgsjNASTYLI­BERALrhgzmohrazhm...

[TedinLasVegas]

Funny, no sleazy Democrat ads are in the running...? I've seen some doozies.

Bias?

[arizonacardinals2007]

very.

[allgoo19]

TedinLasVegas:

Ratio, Repub : Democ = 100 : 1

[TedinLasVegas]

Proof?

But, then again, the democrats have the mediaocres to carry their slime for them.

[jaws900]

You are right but i don't know why you post was marked as spam.

[footyspoak]

Dole's takes the cake..complete lies..

[Bombtrack411]

You ads AGAINST Saxby Chambliss were really sleazy, too. 1 of those should be on here.

[typhonsentra]

Barnes might've lost but at least that douche Goode got his ass kicked out of congress.

[bernlin2000]

Although McCain's sex ed ad was pretty sleazy, I think Dole definitely wins this one...she really pulled that ad out of her ass, there's no truth there at all.

[purdyflywhteguy]

well kay hagan was at a fund raiser thrown by godless americans...as well as like 50 other groups. wat a joke. and that clip at the end isnt even her speaking.

thank fucking god dole lost

[UrDoinItWrong]

LOL Sam Graves ad all the way.

[swimdude909]

It will be a tough race between McCain and Dole... I mean, Dole has the very poorly done Hagan impersonation, but McCain's ad was meant to reach the entire country, so they will have to duke it out to claim victory.

[fishhead06]

I love me some San Francisco values!

[Ix07I]

lmfao the 1st and 2nd one

[terrence0258]

McCain's ad is a winner. He is basically calling the next president a pedophile. Dole's ad is right there but I think McCain has that one.

[TheScrewOnHead]

I'm really rooting for Elizabeth Dole on this one!

[leitermann]

haha all very sleazy & fun to watch

[nyXdeathXangel]

What is with those three people dancing in that Kay Barnes ad? o.O

[snipzor]

The second I heard "New York Lawyer" is the same second I thought "This is by far the most retarded attempt to smear someone". To people who don't understand code, "New York ******" is code for Jew.

[ilovebrewers2]

John McCain is amazing

[voyeurdug]

The word "comprehensive" in the anti-Obama ad on sex education is critically, and wholly, a lie, pure and simple.

That John McCain approved it makes John McCain the liar.

If you were a member of a jury in a court of law, and the defense could present it that simply, how would you find?

Yes, we did.

[grenadianmed]

That Sam Spades ad looks like an SNL skit.

And that last ad against Tom Perello was using subversive tactics. The grainy image of his bearded photo was meant to replicate images of terrorists seen in grainy videos. That was real fear mongering and subliminal shit.

But John McCain is still a huge douche...so its a tough choice.

[oppesdaman]

I think "Godless money" tops the list as the stupidest political smear. Honestly, who gives a rat's ass? I am completely fed up with religious nut cases who pretend they are holier than thou. They try to rule our lives on the basis of a glorified fairy tale.

[arivera3426]

I like that..."glorified fairy tale". I've been using "avid readers of a holy mythology book" for the past few years myself.

[widgit007]

All i can say is at least this time the majority didn't fall for it.

[DeletedDelusion]

Though choice.

Why aren't there any democrat adds?

[1garageboy]

I don't know about you, but I haven't seen any negative ads from Democrats.

[1garageboy]

I mean Sleazie (Spelling?) Campaign Ads.

[eljefereal]

spelled sleazy

[Davenergy]

I think the "San Fransisco Values" ad was the worst. It's pretty insulting not only to the opposing candidate, but also to a large number of people.

[neomystic66]

what's wrong being godless? the last we need is more bible thumpers in office.

[Davenergy]

You'd have my vote to run.

[footyspoak]

very true

[GodKillerAtheist]

I just knew McInsane would get a advert in there LOL

[Richardgwm]

Notice all the ads are for Republicans.

[MarquisdeBarrabas]

This IS tpmtv. ;)

[americanmuslimgirl]

Wait, did Barack Obama really do that??

Just kidding, just kidding.

[crimsong19]

OH! Too tough to decide! I'll go with the Saxby Chambliss ad.

[BullnBearAnalytics]

bnb tv is now up

[JesusPriceSuperstar]

3rd view :-)
