Yet another racist political ad

[Welshy]

In the spirit of the election season we have been gifted another racist political advertisement trying to spread fear of the Chinese. This time it is brought to us by Pete Hoekstra (former hopeful for the republican nomination for governor of Michigan and US representative).

Glad this ad has gotten flak already.

We need a Michigan hashtag.

Fuckin' Pete Hoekstra. He was the Representative for the Congressional District of Michigan I lived in. Even among local Republicans he was known as "Pistol Pete" because of his virulent support for Imperialism, which is vigorous even by neo-liberal standards. I hadn't heard about this, but I'm not surprised at all.

Also, Hoekstra made an appearance in a restaurant where one of my friends was eating and ate all his fries. Greedy fucker.

Hoekstra ate your friend's fries??

I really hate these China will own the world ads. Seriously, they are so fucking stupid. Don't they realize that the US horrendously exploits the majority of the world and that Chinese living standards are far below those of the US? The Americans don't know who they should sabre rattle again so they create this monster out of China which really isn't there.
