Liberty's newest enemy: Dan Fanelli

[freshjiva]

Just....wow.

YouTube - Dan Fanelli Ad (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=umTITWQuXwY)

[RM918]

...That was absurd.

And he didn't look like a terrorist, he looked like a guido!

[paulaholic]

What self-respecting Arab would agree to appear in that ad?

[RM918]

I do enjoy how he equated his 'Keep terrorists off planes!' stance to a cartoonish spectacle, because that's exactly what it is.

I wouldn't trust Col. Sanders there. His secret blend of 11 herbs and spices has caused many a heart attack.

[Danke]

I don't know of a face palm big enough for this.

fuck

[Mr. Smith]

Please arrest this man for assault.... on my intelligence.

[Bman]

lol. Wow. If I lived in that district and my choice was between Alan Grayson and this Guy... well I'd... Move. I'd most likely stop by NASA and ask for the cost of a one way ticket to Mars.

The good news is this Fanelli guy is one of few and most politicians don't run on this. The bad news is politicians are actually out of touch with the majority on this:

By 3-1, those polled favor the idea of subjecting airline passengers to more intensive security checks if they fit a profile of terrorists based on age, ethnicity and gender.

3 to 1 is something like 60% to 20% favor racial profiling when it comes to terrorism. This Fanelli guy knows what he's doing - though I doubt he'll win.

fuck now we have to contribute to Alan Grayson :confused:

Hell No!!!

Read my post. We must start donating to NASA to get us the hell off this planet.

[Imperial]

Hell No!!!

Read my post. We must start donating to NASA to get us the hell off this planet.

But it is a government agency. You will never see that money again!

We are so screwed. Can I just take Grayson on the war, civil liberties, and the Fed?

This reminds me of the episode of Family Guy where Lois runs for Mayor and campaigns using 9/11 for everything.

[damiengwa]

wow the 'terrorist' literally had a towel on his head...

[ctiger2]

Holy Smokes. I can't beleive my ears & eyes.

[Knightskye]

That's racist, isn't it?

[Paulitical Correctness]

at a loss for words.

[Old Ducker]

Moneybomb for Alan Grayson!

[RedStripe]

This is the Republican party folks. I mean there's actually a decent percent of the Republican party that agrees with this ad.

[Brooklyn Red Leg]

If this wasn't serious, it would HAVE to be satire. Christ, I don't really like Alan Grayson, but I sure as shit don't want to see another neo-con douchebag in The House of Representatives.

[TC95]

That's racist, isn't it?

Yes.

[libertygrl]

oh geeze.... looks right out of an episode of 24.

I agree with Fanelli here. My family, including my blonde haired green eyed mother and sister were pulled over for security screening for an hour at Logan while Arabs were let through. It is absurd, and common sense should be applied, a white family of four should not be pulled over in the place of tow arab males. It may be "racist", but it is common sense and I support this. Not that it is an endorsement of interventionist foreign policy. But while Islamic terrorism is an issue, we need to do it how the Israelis do it and not pussyfoot with this politically correct nonsense.

Also, where in the Constitution does it require a person be mirandized? We should interrogate this guy and get what info we can out of him.

This is not just Republicans. See my earlier post.

3-1 means 60% vs 20% of Americans favor racial profiling when it comes to terrorism. This is in stark contrast to every other kind of profiling. This is an issue where most politicians are actually at odds with the populace.
