Secret Right Wing Money Spent On Deceptive Ads

“An examination of presidential-election advertising spending by the top four secret big-money political groups — all of them right-wing — found that 85 percent of their money over a recent six-month period went to ads that independent fact-checkers determined were in some way deceptive. The Annenberg Public Policy Center calculated that those top four groups spent .3 million on advertising related to the presidential race from December 1, 2011 to June 1, 2012…”.* Could these ads give Mitt Romney a win over President Obama in 2012?

    And that’s how the government likes it. Keep the masses distracted with petty politics while the government continues to screw over the American people.

    Saying Blacks were better off as second class citizens is about as stupid as saying Jews were better off under the Nazis. Please kill yourself, you’re a drain to this society and you prove to be just another waste of human sperm cells.

    Yeah it violated the right of stupid racists to keep blacks out of government buildings and shops . Are you in favor of keeping Blacks out of the same schools as whites ?

    Yeah the racial harmony that was sergeration where Back were attacked by whites and lived in shitholes whereas Whites lived in nice houses. Also the whole Separate but Equal clause really helped Blacks get better education right ? God you’re a fucking moron.

    “If you try to improve relationships by forcing and telling people what they can’t do, and you ignore and undermine the principles of liberty, then the government can come into our bedrooms,”

    Mind you Ron Paul is quick to come to your bedroom and tell you that you can’t take contraception or have an abortion and remove the wall separating church and state but hesitates for the government to give Blacks rights ? How more fucking racist can you get and how more stupid can you be ?

    This isn’t about your stupid feelings, this is about facts.

    Also allowing blacks in white owned shops violated property rights how ? Either you’re a racist bigot who is trying to cover your ass as well as Ron Paul’s old, wirnkily ass or you are so ignorant of the guy you support. Ron Paul said that ” Civil Rights undermined the concept of liberty and destroyed the principle of private property and private choices.” That concept of liberty was White Supremacy which means Ron Paul was and still is racist douchebag .

    So he’s justified in preventing Blacks down and going against the idea that we’re all created equal ?

    Property rights were controlled by whites, Blacks had no property rights moron. Are you really this misinformed about segregation ? Ron Paul is a racist and no amount of bullshit is going to justify his sexist, racist bigoted ideology just like no amount of facts are going to make you realize that you’re a sheep led by a hungry wolf but i’ll try anyways to wake you up.

    If it were so plain or simple there would not be a debate or dialectic about it.

    dude just cuss them out, don’t reason with idiots. they think too much on the individual level to even expand their consciousness to realize we’re all in this shit together. These types of people would have been fine with feudalism continuance during the enlightenment age.

    Well abortion is quite unrelated to the issue at hand, but he is justified in having the constitutional stance on that issue.

    Parts of the Civil Rights Act violated property rights. He had a constitutional stance on it, not a racist one. He also opposed it on the grounds that not enough has been done to help and respect racial minorities. What he has said and the policies he advocates, do much more and pay much more respect to blacks and other minorities more so than anything else.

    I do and it’s an issue i think he’s wrong on but i don’t agree with everything anyone thinks. You can make that arguement and you will be right all the time however he’s still by far the best option.

    Well it did have parts that violated property rights, so he is correct when it comes to whether its constitutional. Do you believe gov’t should limit hate speech? Do you believe the gov’t make any important freedom illegal on the grounds that it can be insulting to people?
    He also opposed it on the grounds that it has not been all that strengthening of racial harmony and that it has not improved well enough.
    Another thing, black standard of livings improved much more before the Civil Righst Act.

    “Yes he is”
    Wonderful argument! Way to disprove all that I just said proving Ron Paul not to be a racist.

    Strongly opposes Abortion and wants to overturn Roe v Wade. The whole thing that Ron Paul didn’t really publish them is bullshit and i wouldn’t waste time explaining that given Ron Paul himself already proved he was racist by opposing Civil Rights. You’re right, his supporters are just morons who can’t tell the difference between Roe v Wade and Civil Rights

    Canada’s Radio Act makes it illegal for news outlets to knowingly broadcast anything false or fabricated. TYT did a story about it, and Cenk was against the idea because he was concerned there would be some sort of bureaucracy that decides what is and what isn’t true (and that this interferes with free speech). In reality, there is no “truth in media” supervisory panel. It’s cut and dry; if it’s true, it’s news. If it’s NOT true, then it’s NOT news. Simple as that.
