(5,125 posts)Do you mean attack ads AGAINST Pelosi? Because I don't think she has paid to put out attack ads. Attacking whom?
LINKS? If it's so easy to track, why don't you put links so your meaning is clear.

(7,820 posts)Worked together at MSNBC. The guy JoeScar would send in to complain to the brass and threaten that Joes GOP friends werent happy about how certain things were being covered or certain liberal voices were being given a platform and Joe might not be able to get Republican leaders on if Keith or MSNBC kept talking about certain things or bringing certain people on.

(18,565 posts)He's also:
🔸️the least truthful person in politics
🔸️the least considerate person in politics
🔸️the least caring person in politics
🔸️the least courteous person in politics
🔸️the least civilized person in politics
🔸️the least patriotic person in politics
as well as:
🔸️ the meanest person in politics
🔸️ the rudest person in politics
🔸️ the most narcissistic person in politics
🔸️ the most vicious person in politics
🔸️ the vilest, sneakiest, cheatingest person in politics
and a lot of other things I didn't think of.
Please note: I didn't say he's the dumbest or the most racist person in politics, because he has quite a bit of competition in those areas!

(5,125 posts)All his behavior is chosen. His chosen behavior is obscenely hurtful, hateful and selfish.
He is choosing to be a person who simply does onto others and then walks away ignoring the damage done by his behavior.
I look at people with KLAN based attitudes and behaviors and I think about how they are living in fear and stuck on the amygdala response of fight or fright. When we began to civilize, we had trust issues. Anyone who was NOT LIKE US was a threat, a possible deadly threat. It was the reality of that time.
BUT WE HAVE EVOLVED AND FOUND SOLUTIONS TO THOSE PROBLEMS. They can still be a bit tricky, but WE as a society can not DEVOLVE back to those CLAN based strategies.
It seems to me that the KKK has been working behind the scenes to keep these fires stoked and have burned these attitudes into a significant group of people.
STILL I think it is the behavior and beliefs that are wrong. The people are still "human" but they are choosing the worst of our behaviors and attitudes.

on people because they have a different political opinion?

With 33,000 Americans dying every year, Democrats believe that we must finally take sensible action to address gun violence.

In a country as great as ours, no child should be afraid to go to school or walk around their neighborhood. No spouse should be afraid to come home at night. No American should be afraid to go to work or their place of worship. And no human being should be afraid to go to a shopping mall or baseball field, nightclub or movie theater, concert or college campus.

"Join the MAGA crew. Get a RINO hunting permit. Theres no bagging limit, no tagging limit, and it doesnt expire until we save our country." Former Gov. Eric Greitens (R-MO)
In a June 2022 ad, Eric Greitens and a SWAT team are depicted breaking into a house. After storming the house with explosives and automatic weapons, Greitens states: Join the MAGA crew. Get a RINO hunting permit. Theres no bagging limit, no tagging limit, and it doesnt expire until we save our country. Eric Greitens (candidate for Missouri Senate)
In a February 2022 ad that aired during the Super Bowl, Arizona senate candidate Jim Lamon is in a showdown with President Joe Biden, Sen. Mark Kelly (D-AZ), and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA). Lamon shoots at the Democrats, disarming them and forcing them to flee the town. Jim Lamon (candidate for Arizona Senate)
In an October 2021 ad, Teddy Daniels is dining with elite suit-and-tie swamp scum before he decides that hes tired of these elitist suits who have sold out our country. Daniels continues to degrade the elitists, claiming that they dont care about protecting freedom of speech, your right to bear arms, or even election security. Daniels then touts his military service while firing a number of different semi-automatic weapons that produce explosions. He ends the ad by stating, Its time for we the people to take our country back from corrupt swamp creaturesin both parties. Teddy Daniels (candidate for Pennsylvanias 8th congressional district)
A March 2022 ad shows Josh Clark holding an firearm, explaining hes giving away an AR-15 every week until the election to ensure that Georgians are equipped and ready to protect their family and to fight against tyranny and evil when necessary
against all enemies, foreign and domestic. The ad then shows Clark shooting an AR-15 at targets, with his children and others also taking turns firing the weapon. Josh Clark (candidate for Georgia Senate)
In a recent July 2022 ad, Jerone Davison uses an AR-15 to scare off a dozen angry Democrats in klan hoods.
Jerone Davison (candidate for Arizonas 4th congressional district)
DEMS IN KLAN HOODS? WHAT ALTERNATE REALITY IS THIS MAN FROM? Oh yeah, Arizona.
A January 2022 ad shows Mallory Staples, along with her children, preparing to fire their respective firearms. During this scene, Staples states [shell] make sure we always have the right to protect ourselves and our families. Mallory Staples (candidate for Georgias 6th congressional district)
In an August 2021 ad, Mike Collins uses a firearm to blow up Nancy Pelosis plan for America. He then states: Conservatives have gotten steamrolled thanks to spineless politicians for far too long, and its time to fight back. And if you think Im just going to fight the Democrats, think again. Because in the swamp, its RINO season too, before shooting at a cardboard rhino.
Mike Collins (candidate for Georgias 10th congressional district)
In an April 2022 ad, celebrity doctor and Pennsylvania Senate candidate Mehmet Oz is depicted firing a rifle and later loading an automatic weapon while explaining, [Our] Second Amendment is not just about hunting; its about our constitutional right to protect ourselves from intruders, or an overly intrusive government. Mehmet Oz (candidate for Pennsylvania Senate)
A 2022 campaign ad shows J.R. Majewski carrying a rifle as he walks through a destroyed building, stating hes willing to do whatever it takes to return this country back to its former glory. J.R. Majewski (candidate for Ohios 9th congressional district)
In a November 2021 ad, Blake Masters explains, while holding a short-barreled rifle, that this is designed to kill people and he supports good Americans right to own such weapons. Masters then warns that the Taliban took away guns after Biden handed them Afghanistan, implying that when gun rights are stripped away, so will every other right. Blake Masters (candidate for Arizona Senate)

(47,838 posts)Someone needs to scour the internet and actually COUNT the number of threats that are on the airwaves everyday. Tally the number coming from Democrats, and those coming from Republicans. In Trump's speeches, we could probably find a treasure trove of threats.
By the end of the week, no one can say again that both sides are equal in generating threats.

(10,426 posts)As long as CNN doesn't go full-out GOP talking points, it's ok. Things change at all stations (if you've listened to his podcast, he said there were many times what's happening at CNN happened at MSNBC). If you want one-sided journalism, watch Fox. Journalism is a two-sided business. I think we've all gotten used to the bullshit on Fox as representing what journalism is. Fox will never be journalism. EVER. Ask a Fox fan why Fox has never won a legit (not a RW) journalism award. There's a good reason. They don't do journalism.
