Trump racist ad to bad en for Fox

I saw the ad on TV this weekend. I don't remember the channel though.

That said, it is a rather tasteless ad, but it isn't racist.

But it is bigoted. And contains numerous inaccuracies.

Oh yes, showing a Latino illegal immigrant having killed someone. Reminds me of years ago and the Dukakis Ad, only then it was a black man. Either you are clueless or just can't bring yourself to look at trump with open eyes and see what he is.

How is it bigoted? Seriously?

As for inaccuracies, that's par for the course with political ads. None are 100% accurate.

My biggest problem with the ad is that it's tasteless, and very low brow.

I detest Trump. I also try to judge people and things by their own merits and flaws. The ad stands or falls on its own.

I stated that it was tasteless, but it is basically accurate in its facts. The insinuation it may or may not portray is in the eye of the beholder. I see an ad that describes a border and immigration system that allows such evil to enter the country over and over again and two political parties with completely different views on how to deal with that problem - all that is factually accurate.

The fact is that in the current political environment no one that isn't on the left can discuss this topic without being labeled as racist, xenophobic, or a number of other personal attacks (like saying a person is "clueless or just can't bring yourself to look at trump with open eyes" just because they don't immediately attack the truth as racist
and wrong as if it's not actually the truth, is disheartening - and damned dangerous for the country.
