Growth & Justice, a progressive think tank in Minnesota, just gave Vernon Robinson the "Willie" award for WORST Political Advertisement. The award is "named for the infamous fearmongering Willie Horton ad that led to George Bush defeating Michael Dukakis." See a small clip of U.S. Senate candidates Al Franken and Jack Nelson-Pallmeyer announce the award here.
YEAH NORTH CAROLINA! Makes your proud don't it? ugh... so hard to believe it but this ad by Robinson appears to be his own and not a joke. wow.
Here's a nice video to put it all into context about the awards from the Citizen Journalism super team The Uptake.

I don't think...
...that the award could go to anyone more deserving. He's probably going to be up for the lifetime achievement pretty soon.
Good, better, best
Toys's & Us win the best AD in Minnesota forever!
Minnesota never recover from this Ad and guess what? The " Mind" is back with AL and Coleman praying like hell they are not a doll!

Maybe he redeemed himself a tiny little bit...
...by canvassing for Obama.
No, he didn't.
No one knows what goes on in that hate-ridden ball of pus that stands in for a brain, but the idea that Vernon Robinson shares the values that we all fervently hope Obama stands for is not reconcilable with the campaigns he has run and the positions he has taken.
Wow
Just wow...
that was a classic
I'm sure than no one will top Vern on this front for a long while. Here's the post I did back when that ad was first released (March 2006).

I spent about an hour when I first saw that ad
looking on the web for the owners who held the rights to the Twilight Zone and Leave it to Beaver, thinking they might like to know how their properties were being abused.
The contact forms I filled out probably never got to anyone who would care, but it made me feel better.
