Who is Fred Davis? He's the Republican "strategist" who is behind the recently diaried Jeremiah Wright ad proposal.
Per Think Progress, Fred Davis is also behind these gems of Republican advertising:
1) Tim James' ad for English Only Government (AL-Gov)
2) Pete Hoekstra's "Debbie Spend It Now" broken English Super Bowl ad
3) Elizabeth Dole's "There is no God" lying attack ad against Kay Hagan
4) Carly Fiorina's "Demon Sheep" ad
5) Christine O'Donnell's "I Am Not A Witch" ad
I think it is pretty clear that Mr. Davis has some issues regarding race. It is also worth noting that all of these candidates lost. As a strategist, he's right up there with Napoleon's invasion of Russia.
So why does anyone hire this man? How does he keep getting paid? The answer is that he is not good at winning elections; he is good at extracting money from rich, clueless Republicans. He's a grifter, and he knows what sells to billionaires - which is evidently racism and religious intolerance.
Which raises the important issue of not allowing eccentric billionaires to have a lot of influence on our elections - or, Citizens United is increasingly looking like the worst decision since Bush V Gore.
