while watching the 6pm news (a rare occurrence due to my job schedule) - I was recently greeted with the graphic debauchery that comes from Gary Boisclair, a tea-party DEMOCRAT challenger to Keith Ellison in the MN 5th District - (what the hell)
what struck me wasn't the graphic portrayal of dead fetuses, or the statement that Rep. Ellison wants sharia law. these are standard operating procedure for the hardcore wingnuts -
what caught my attention initially was the disclaimer at the end - the TV station literally aired a disclaimer stating they were required by federal law to air Gary's ads, and if you had an issue, go to his website and contact him
all the local broadcasters are bending over backwards to point out they have to air them, despite being full of falsehoods, and they are unable to censor them. however, most of them are putting up stuff like graphic disclosures up and a few of them are examining the story and pointing out there is some bullshit mixed in with the manure.
I won't link to that douchebag's site but you can google it - can't believe this douchebag is running as a Democrat (out of West VA, no less) -
