Brutal New Ad Blames GOP Spending Cuts For Ebola Deaths (VIDEO)

BySAHIL KAPUR

A new TV ad blames prominent Republicans for Ebola deaths, attacking them for championing spending cuts that have gone after emergency public health funding for containing disease outbreaks.

The one minute ad, called "Republican Cuts Kill," splices grueling images of body bags and workers in hazmat suits with footage of top Republicans like Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (KY) and House Speaker John Boehner (OH) calling for spending cuts. It also features 2014 Republican Senate candidates Bill Cassidy of Louisiana, Cory Gardner of Colorado, Tom Cotton of Arkansas and Pat Roberts of Kansas.

The spot was produced by the Agenda Project Action Fund, the same progressive group that has made controversial anti-Republican ads such as "Granny Off the Cliff." The group's spokeswoman, Erica Payne, said Monday the ad would air in Kentucky, North Carolina, South Dakota and Kansas — all of which feature competitive Senate races that could swing the majority.

Payne told TPM the group would take out a "low six figure buy in Kentucky – the others states are being decided now."

Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy & Infectious Diseases, is shown in the ad lamenting the "damaging" spending reductions — including the automatic sequester cuts of 2011 — that Republicans have led the charge for in recent years, and which many Democrats have supported.

I was thinking the same thing.  But then, OPapaDoc got elected and re-elected, so one can never underestimate the intelligence of the American voter.

The media is just looking for something like this, and will tout it as the absolute truth.

Americans are far too stupid to reason it out, and will accept whatever the media tells them.

The only reason it's 'brutal' is because the msm says it's 'brutal'.

If the conservatives did the same thing, it would be 'desperate' because the msm would say it was 'desperate'...

Everyone knew this was coming.  I fully expect Abortion Barbie to try something against Abbott before November.

And just for the general education of anyone who might read this, THERE HAVE BEEN NO SPENDING CUTS! Not a single one!

Their might have been some slight reductions in the rate of growth but in this particular area I don't think even that has happened!

People know better than to bring the subject up with me.  I've been telling them for years the CDC has been wasting millions on stupid research projects.  Jazzercise.  Gun-grabbing.  I don't care if there have been cuts or not (there have not, I know!), if we gave them infinite moolah, they still would not have had enough because they won't spend it where it's needed, disease prevention.  "They only had one effing job."

It's like New Orleans with the dyke maintenance projects:  They never spent any of the money on actually repairing the dykes.  Of course, that ended up being Bush's Fault, so I'm sure this will be twisted too.

Rant off.
