Alabama closes door on colorful 2010 primary ads



It's finally here: Alabama's primary, which has produced some of the most memorable ads of the 2010 election season. Among Tuesday's races: several tight U.S. House primaries and two gubernatorial primaries, as incumbent Republican Bob Riley is term-limited. Important as these primaries are, the 2010 election cycle in Alabama will probably be remembered chiefly for its colorful primary ads.

In the wake of Arizona's controversial immigration law, James, a Republican gubernatorial hopeful, made waves with an ad saying it was not in the public's interest for Alabama to license drivers who can't speak English. "This is Alabama," he said. "We speak English." He later defended the ad, insisting a multilingual driver's test is "political correctness gone amok."

  • "I'm Tim James. Why do film crews run away from me while I'm speaking, to that I'm constantly walking into frame from another room... Is it because I'm spouting racist nonsense?" *Looks poignantly at floor* "Probably."

  • im asian who has lived in america my whole life.. my whole family got citizenship, learned the language and prospered.. to be an american citizen and wanna live here you have to not be lazy and learn the language.. i do get tired of people who live here for many years and dont even attempt to learn the language..

    the only way its racist is if you find out his intent, then you can distinguish

  • I saw this on Tosh.0 where he did his "Is this racist" segment. After it, he asked if anyone found it racist. I didnt. This is America.

  • @ozzy5254 Thank you local liberal who can't come up with anything less than insults to prove a point that you're a dumbass.

  • @RidGewayer131 Oops. YOU'RE a dumbass... Dumbass.

  • @emby85 your a dumbass how can you make language a racial issue? It's people like you that are the reason racism is still thriving today, BECAUSE YOU KEEP TALKING ABOUT IT

  • Take a look at how many car wrecks are brought about by foreigners. They make us learn a language in school as a requirement, so I think a few people can learn english in Alabama to make it safer.

  • fuck this guy!
