Someone captured this off the air and posted it, after the Tinker Campaign scrubbed their site:

I finally got a look at the ad, posted in this TPM article. They tried to hide it (the fools). It really does not need any comment, but here's a backgrounder, from the article:
When he was first elected in 2006, Cohen became the only white Congressman from a majority black district in the South, largely because the wide-open field of black candidates dividing the vote between each other. Cohen won his primary with a 31% plurality, ahead of Nikki Tinker's 25%. Tinker never really stopped running against Cohen, and her campaign has had a consistent theme: That she can better represent the black community.
Tinker declared during a debate that of Tennessee's districts, "this is the only one where African-Americans have even enough courage to stand up and run." She then added, "I think they're saying that with those nine seats, can't we just have one?"
A Washington Dem source told Election Central that the roots of Tinker's strategy were apparent as far back as a 2006 fundraiser. "I was at this event where she said that she didn't think this other guy Steve Cohen was gonna win because the constituents weren't gonna support somebody who doesn't accept Jesus as his Lord and Savior," the source said. "Everyone's jaw kind of dropped, and certainly we didn't write her a check."
This election is over and the votes are being counted now. I hope this vile candidate is not only the looser, but utterly embarrassed and never speaks in public again. I'll be looking for election results.
Kieth Olberman named her a "Worlds Worst person," recently.
