You can't make this stuff up.

"Jesse Helms is back! And this time he's black." That's Winston-Salem city councilman Vernon Robinson's campaign slogan as one of eight GOP candidates in the July 20 primary for North Carolina's 5th Congressional District.

Pretty inoffensive, though, compared to the radio ad he's running:

ANNOUNCER NO. 1: Vernon Robinson, conservative. The aliens are here, but they didn't come in a spaceship. They came across our unguarded Mexican border by the millions -- illegally.

They've filled our criminal courtrooms and invaded our school. They sponge off the American taxpayer by clogging our welfare lines and our hospital emergency rooms. They've even taken over the DMV. These aliens commit heinous crimes against us, like Maximiliano Esparza, who raped a nun and strangled her with her own rosary -- illegally.

They commit crimes but won't commit to learn our language. You walk into a McDonald's restaurant to order a Big Mac and find to your horror that the employees don't speak English -- illegals. You may be in the heart of America, but you feel as though you are in the Twilight Zone.

Vernon Robinson will secure our borders, cut off the welfare payments and once and for all make English our official language. Press one for English? No. Vote Vernon Robinson for English.

VERNON ROBINSON: I'm Vernon Robinson, and I approve this message.

ANNOUNCER NO. 2: Yo Gringo! Este episodio de Twilight Zone era pagado para Robinson por congreso.
The ad's come under fire, not for it's extreme offensiveness but for the fact that the required disclosure at the end - "This ad was paid for by Robinson for Congress." - is in Spanish.

...?

When is somebody going to decide WE need a regime change and liberate us?

PS: In related news, Yummy Sandwich got the boot earlier this week, officially because "[they] could not follow a consistent schedule when delivering their products." My email to HR complaining about their promotional tactics never received a response.

This really takes the cake. Is he given a chance in the race?The black race or the human race? I'd say no to both. I can't believe that this guy isn't a parody cooked up on MAD TV. I don't even know where to start...

Well I'l be...! Yummy Sandwich has edited their online Powerpoint presentation and removed the "illegal immigrants" line from Slide #17. Frankly, I'm stunned.

I would be happy to post my name but I refuse to "sign in" on this web site. Mr. Robinson, I just watched your ad on TV and was horrified by the picture of Nicholas Berg sitting in front of his captures. Although this is a fact of the terror we now face, I was grossly offended that you would exploit this man's tradgey toward your benefit. As a mother, if this were my son, I would sue you! Your bigot comments are disgusting! If we all felt like you do, your race would still be in slavery! I sat there waiting to hear you say something about how women should stay out of the boardrooms and get back in the kitchen! Abortion is not my choice of birth control but the right of a woman to choose is! I do not "approve" of an alternate lifestyle for MY life but the way someone else chooses to live is between them and God and none of my business, nor yours. Just in case you haven't heard, the God that you advertise loves ALL of us ... even a white, female, Catholic Democrat like me! It is people like you that make me proud that I am a Democrat and more determined to keep your kind out of Washington! I find your entire attitude "anti-American". This is NOT what we have fought and died for throughout our history of being a free nation ... under God ... with liberty and justice for ALL. You miss out on a lot by being a narrow-minded, moran, extremist. I feel sorry for you.

Um...thanks for your comments. Just want to point out that this isn't Mr. Robinson's web site and clarify that I in no way, shape or form, agree with the guy's views. Sorry if that wasn't clear in my post.
