<\/a>Screenshot from Estakio Beltran’s Video<\/p><\/div>\n
Estakio Beltran<\/a>, a Democratic candidate running for Congress in a conservative area of Washington State, recently released\u00a0a 30-second campaign video of him gunning down a Republican party mascot, and then riding away from it on a donkey.<\/p>\n In the ad, Beltran says, “They call me a long shot. They say I can\u2019t win in this district,” as he points his gun at an elephant pi\u00f1ata (obviously a stand-in for the GOP).<\/p>\n “But what happens to an elephant that stands around doing nothing for too long?” He then pulls the trigger and shoots an elephant pi\u00f1ata in it’s backside with his pump-action shotgun.<\/p>\n He loads another round into the chamber and says, “My name’s Estakio Beltran and I approved this message.”<\/p>\n He then rides off on a donkey toward a sign that says U.S. Capitol, with an arrow.<\/p>\n I’m guessing Joe Biden<\/a> approves it too, since it was a shotgun after all.<\/p>\n I would love to show you the video, but he removed it from YouTube<\/a>\u00a0today.\u00a0I am assuming because he started getting\u00a0roasted on the internet, over the explicit double standard.<\/p>\n But, before it was removed, some\u00a0on the\u00a0left lauded it as one of the best campaign ads of the year.<\/p>\n Vocativ<\/a>, said\u00a0“the Democrat\u00a0hopeful can already claim victory for shooting the best campaign ad of the year so far.”<\/p>\n On MSNBC’s website, Michele Richinick<\/a>, rather then condemning the ad, used it to springboard into a topic of GOP obstructionism.<\/p>\n I seem to recall the left going absolutely ballistic when Sarah Palin released a map with target crosshairs on it, marking 20 Congressional districts she and John McCain had won in 2008, but whose Congressmen had voted in favor of the recently passed health care reform bill.\u00a0We heard about that one ad nauseum. <\/p>\n Remember when just a few hours after Jared Loughner opened fire on a crowd and shot Democratic Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, and killed six people and injured 13 more? Paul Krugman immediately posted a blog post<\/a> blaming Palin and stating that “violent acts are what happen when you create a climate of hate.” <\/p>\n This was also followed by people like the Washington Post’s Dana Milbank<\/a>, blaming it on Palin and Glenn Beck, saying, “Both are finally being held to account for recklessly playing with violent Images in a way that is bound to incite the unstable.”<\/p>\n
