GOP Senate Candidate Uses ISIS Propaganda Footage in Anti-Obama Ad
Source: Mediaite
The slippery slope of using ISIS footage for attack ads is complete: first there was a still of a photojournalists execution in ads, then actual video, and now a GOP Senate candidate is just using ISIS videos to make ads.
Arkansas candidate Tom Cotton took the slickly-produced footage from a 55-minute long ISIS propaganda piece, and cut them into an ad criticizing Barack Obama for underestimating ISISs capacities. According to BuzzFeed, the footage from Flames of War doesnt just show jihadists rolling around in tanks, but also features graphic content that includes a mass execution of a group of men who fall into a ditch.
When candidates dont pay good American dollars for stock footage and resort to professionally-shot terrorist movies to make their ads
the terrorists win (literally).

Major Hogwash

Either Cotton is totally insane, and he doesn't realize that President George W. Bush was the president who invaded Iraq back in 2003, or he thinks the good people of Arkansas are just too stupid to see through his gossamer façade!!
How sad it is that he insults the intelligence of the people of Arkansas like this!

Major Hogwash
(17,656 posts)Cotton isn't running against President Obama.
President Obama isn't even on the ballot!
Furthermore, it isn't President Obama's fault that ISIS exists, to begin with!
He is not the one that helped to create them!!
This Cotton guy should just drop out of the race if he has nothing better to offer the people of Arkansas!!
He is an embarrassment to the great people of America!

The best thing we have to look forward to is the certainty that we will have someone other than Tom Cotton to represent us in the 4th Congressional District. His voting record has been an embarrassment to humanity. When his record was brought up as an issue after he announced his candidacy for the Senate, he accused his opposition of slinging mud. At least we know that Tom Cotton is honest: He acknowledged what his voting record looks like.

(51,474 posts)in Arkansas, AG, lt. governor, governor, US Congress, and Cotton use Obama in every TV ad. The one that cracks me up is the crazy attorney general candidate, Rutledge who claims Obama 'hand picked' her opponent. Like President Obama even knows who Nate Steel is. And the lovely Leslie Rutledge is backed by Huckabee and Palin.
Tom Cotton is totally bought by the Koch brothers and is a Paul Ryan wanna-be.
