WV Conservative Foundation Releases Bigoted Ad Against Rahall

In what may be a new low for WV political campaign advertisements, the West Virginia Conservative Foundation, whose founder is WV GOP Chairman Mike Stuart, has released a tremendously bigoted ad attacking Rep. Nick Rahall, essentially for being Arab American.

It's so bad, even the commenters at WVaRed agree that it crosses the line.

The ad shows how the WV GOP is completely devoid of positive ideas and policy positions that would move our country forward.  Their only strategy is to fan the flames of discontent and misplaced fear of people who are "different" from "us".  The only good news is it will be even more satisfying when Rahall is reelected to represent West Virginia's 3rd Congressional District on Nov. 2nd.
