Nebraska: GOP gubernatorial candidate slaps an Obama doll around in campaign ad


How far has the political discourse fallen when you can disrespect a president like this?

From Omaha World-Herald:

Nebraska Democrats on Friday criticized a TV ad showing Republican governor candidate Beau McCoy knocking a Barack Obama doll off a fence post with his hand.

The ad opens with McCoy saying, “More Obamacare in Nebraska? That is the last thing we need.” He then strikes a doll that resembles President Obama.

“Beau McCoy hit a new low in his ad, where he is seen striking the president off a fence post,” said Dan Marvin, executive director of the Nebraska Democratic Party. “No matter what party you belong to, the depiction of violence displayed in McCoy's ad is completely disrespectful to the office of the presidency and sends the wrong message to our children.”

Vince Powers, state Democratic chairman, called on McCoy to pull the ad.
