I don't like posting about politics; even less, talking about a specific politician when there isn't a conversation/dialogue going on. However, I think this is post worthy.

I realize I'm shedding more attention on his ad but I think it's important to see the basis of which I'm speaking from.
Firstly, there are better ways this guy could have gotten this message across.
For him & his supporters dismiss everyone calling the ad racist as ignorant democrats/liberals is something I find more offensive than the broken English and the not quite subtle stereotypical cues in the background (i.e. the gong, rice paddies, dirt road, and straw hat).
It's how ironic he claims to be frugal when he spent millions to get it played during the Superbowl in different regions of Michigan. Moreover, he charged his supporters a 'donation' of $7.50/view (per a local news station reports) to view this commerical before it aired on TV. Oh, can't forget that while he slams a current senator for investing too much money outside of Michigan, this ad was filmed in another state.
Overall poor choice to make this ad and even poorer defense/response to the backlash by some senator hopeful.
