It turns out that Northam campaign was involved in that disgusting, racist, ad where a Gillespie supporter in a truck is trying to run over a group of mixed race children. The story unfolds on Fox 5:
More on the story here and here.
If you haven’t seen the most racist campaign ad ever, it’s here and it’s shameful.
Northam couldn’t repudiate the ad because he was behind it. Disgusting.

Jeanine, I like reading many of the stories on the Bull Elephant, and I like to hear other people’s opinions, but I have to say, a handful of commentors on this site constantly beat a uncharitable drum. Which leads me to believe they are lefties incognito. Do you ever get tired of reading the same and regurgitated nasty comments? These people need therapy. 😉
I can only hope you are talking about me.
I do beat the same drum – that TBE and the righteous radical right is wrong for the country – time to stop spreading gossip and hate, stick to facts, and lose the attitude that liberals are anti-us
in any case, thanks for reading
“stick to facts”
… aren’t you the same person who said it’s okay to lie in politics … like, two days ago ?
Yes, they are lefties but we allow them to voice their opinions as long as they don’t get rude or nasty or name call.
In a Country where it appears to take all kinds (names)
I will remain Patriotic and loyal to our laws, fellow citizens and will remain rebellious to all other , no matter if they are “lefties” or corporatist right wing nut jobs for I am Virginian.
At Va. Tech
On June 29th, 2012 at 2am
Alex Cardenas Flores was seen grabbing a woman and dragging her to his pick up.
Fortunately this young lady escaped this attempted abduction.
Now he was charged and convicted. He will be deported when time is served, as he should.
The question is at what point was Santurary provided?
He was charged for this crime.
But…
He was being illegally employeed as a unlicensed subcontractor. This is a violation of then and now existing Va. Law. How come then Republican Administration of Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli and Governor Bob McDonnell allowed Administrative amnesty of these laws?
So a Republican Governor allowed Santurary Employment of illegal immigrants.
Are only violent crimes subject to the definition of Santuary?
So can Va. natives operate non compliant to Statutes 54.1-1100, The Va Unemployment Compensation Act and Workers Compensation Insurance law and be provided the same “santuary”?
Charity starts at home , it should not be a benefit of the self serving.
DEPORT EVERY LAST ONE OF ‘UM (illegal aliens). We don’t need any of them. They are a blight on our country and our state.
Let us be more specific with our words. This is not a “racist” ad. It is an Anti-white ad. It implies that any white person who votes for Gillespie or is a Tea Party supporter is a racist, terrorizing murderer. When such stereotypes were wielded against non-whites in the past, the collective society, to include most Republicans, went bonkers. But it is perfectly kosher in today’s America to stereotype white people, to imply they will run down little children in a playground, and to state overtly that “white privilege” is what is oppressing people of color. This ad is symptomatic of the disease of anti-white bigotry currently being flamed and fanned by the Left. Truth is that the majority of those using vehicles to run down people are non-white immigrants (i.e., Moslem immigrants). For mainstream conservatives to say silent on this matter is to give the neo-Nazi portion of the Alt Right a semblance of being correct. When good folks in the mainstream do nothing, then the extremists will seize the issue.
Let’s look at the far bigger picture. What does the Trump presidency imply? What is the Republican majority Congress implying?
Are both Trump and the Majority Republican Congress implying that they can lie to their base about repealing and replacing Obamacare for 7 years and their base is to stupid to do anything about it next Tuesday?
Is Trump implying that he can
lie about affordable healthcare, who will pay for the wall, tariffs on Communist and Mexican imports, bringing the troops home, and the base will be stupid next Tuesday and vote Gillespie?
Just look at Washington now to see what Richmond will look like with Gillespie, Holtzman, and a McGure Woods partner in office.
Jim, you need to have your nonsequitiritis treated.
You don’t consider anti-white to be racist? If anti-white isn’t racist, neither is anti-black, anti-Latino, etc.
Racism is racism, no matter how you arrange the people on board.
Liberal advocacy group Democracy for America (DFA) ends support for Northam due to his “racism”.

Thanks for that link. Stay tuned for a post.
In Forest, Bedford County Va the truck is *brand new* and they don’t run them over. These “conservatives, lazy white men” here hire them , sub contract work to them.
Thanks,
Senator Steve Newman for a job not done.
So what if Northam paid for it.
Illegal immigrants have been and continued to be exploited;
Political exploitation vs Labor exploitatation which is worse?
When they are exploited as labor the Republican voter (Gillespie Supporter)
are the ones doing the dirty deed at least in the Republican 23rd Senatorial District.
And no way in hell is Gillespie going to do a darn thing about MS-13. I can hire all I desire as bona-fide independent contractors and issue a 1099.
Listen both Candidates are CRAP on illegal immigration the politically gift that keeps giving.
I use it to obtain Contract Homes and sales, no law against it. It is my Liberty.
I care because it goes to Northam’s integrity. He claimed to have had nothing to do with the ad, but it seems he actually did. Honesty and integrity should be of prime importance in a candidate.
Neither of these two men have integrity on this issue.
The politician has been using this issue for the better of 15 years in campaigns to defend or be against. Then when in office the voter, no matter what side for what reason is deemed racist, native or protectionist.
These two are playing every Va voter to be a unsuspecting chump.
Pres. Bush said;
We will draw no distinction between the terrorist themselves and those who harbor them.
Excuse me but Va is losing the better of 25 Million annually according to JLARC427, that is 100 Million lost to our General fund under McDonnell and McAuliffe.
Now today we have two new bozos and niether will bring this up, why?
Because Dems need the political plight of the poor.
Because Republicans need to economically exploit them for profit.
G, In my eyes they are both substandard to the word integrity.
They are here. They are not going anywhere. So now is the time for US to make our politicians accountable for thier BS.
There is a man here in Lynchburg that every Republican politician comes to kiss the ring of. This same man has endorsed a Development and partnered with some Contractors that employ these illegal alien (Fed) , unlicensed contractors (State) use to profit.
This Development was one of the ones that received a large majority of the 200 violations issued under McDonnell.
They are not going anywhere.
Northram should have shown the truck pulling up to a building supply store and a truck with Gillespie for Governor stickers on it , then the latinos hopping in the back to go to work.
That is the truth.
Gillespie will not do anything about illegal immigrants.
Northam might do something about thier exploitation.
Either way Va. Looses because both are to ignorant to talk of the tax base loss by providing them *Illegal* Santurary Employment.
You’re absolutely right. Let’s just put them all on welfare instead. That would be far better than allowing them to work.
Currently we are allowing them (illegal immigrants /immigrants ) to work illegally thus putting the legal employee on unemployment.
That is assinine!
Then the illegally employed is qualified for welfare also.
That is assinine!
Don’t kid yourself G, niether of these two are going to do a damn thing. Illegal immigration is the political issue and cheap subsidized labor gift that keeps giving.
This is why I tell my potential customers go ask that other contractor to give you his Subs License number. I am figuring out how to work this to my families gain.
G,
Remember those 200 violations? Not 1 had a tax account. I know I hold them and cross checked them.
You’re right. You are absolutely right. So go do something about it. Run for office. Take out ads proclaiming your mistreatment. Do something other than complain to people who can’t do anything about it. If you want it fixed, figure out how to fit, then do it.
I can’t change it. Jeanine can’t change it. No one on this board can change it. But you complain about it, day after day, post after post, no matter what the article is about.
If you want to change the world, you have to bring about change yourself. Endlessly griping will not help at all. It’s up to YOU.
Now, then: What did you think of the article?
Running for my local Delegate seat is a real possibility in the future.
On my local BOS , I currently have a couple of supporting change to the building permit application.
Then I have been soliciting Attorneys to bring forth a lawsuit against the Commonwealth for the actions of our VA. Employment Commission classifying unlicensed subcontractors as bona-fide independent contractors even when these audit officers knowingly can see that these unlicensed subcontractors do not have VEC accounts.
Then there is our current Governor, do you think he had the intellect to implement the VOSHA/DOLI notification policy to DPOR?
Damn G, don’t give him that much credit. Your welcome on that!
The question for both Candidates to answer is out of all those referrals to DPOR and Va’s Employee Misclassification Task force how many hade VEC Accounts?
What is McAuliffe hiding?
What is Gillespie running from? Will he allow this illegal employment? YES HE WILL!
Good. Channel your energy into that – where you might actually accomplish something other than complain. But if you want to get elected, you’d better come up with something else to care about. No one wants to hear the same campaign speech, on the same singular issue, like a broken record, over and over again. Not in politics. And not here.
Oh I am not beating a dead horse.
1) There is this story you and I are both posting on.
2) Ed going after MS-13 has major shortcommings being that I can employ them.
3) Then there is Employee Misclassification legislation, will your Senator fall short and vote for a bill that has loopholes? I expect he/she will.
A rebuttal here.
Complaining yes about the lying leadership. I became disgusted years ago about this not because of immigration but because of child support dodgers.
It is of irony that I can stay on a issue that is about fraud that causes government growth and Sanctuary employment yet on this site of well learned individuals than myself they run from it.
The polls out say that jobs are number one concern and immigration is second.
A bit of irony here that I speak of jobs and immigration on this issue.
Perhaps this tips Republicans hand to the aspects of they could care less about either much less Goverment growth.
If Gillespie elected my course will stay the same.
I will be able to say Mr. G, no you don’t want a home from overthere they use unskilled, undocumented, migrant farm labor. The Governor as much as he blows smoke about combating illegal immigration you think that he would have a grip on it.
Listen if you buy one of those homes the contractor obligation is of a year warranty. Try getting him to honor that and remember shoddy construction is forever and you can hold licensed subcontractors to that. With the other guy , once again good luck.
No Mr. G,
The Commonwealth or the Administration can’t guarantee that legitimate tradesman built your….. $400,000.00 dollar home.
I am not as concerned about Tues. as I am about this year’s legislation that will come to protect this fraud and illegal commerce. I will be back here in January to combat the slimey legislation that oozes from our General Assembly Swamp, just as I was with the Fraud protectionist bill SB483 By Republican Senator Bill DeSteph.
One bright side if Jeb¡ Gillespie wins Republicans will have run out of people to blame, they just get to look in the mirror for thier shortcommings and say they Sold Out!
We’ve discussed this on disqus, and you explained things I didn’t know since I’m not a builder. I appreciated the information you gave me, and I agree would that it shouldn’t be permitted. You don’t need to convince me any further.
My point is that you’re not just preaching to the choir, but to the church mouse. This isn’t a forum that will further your goals. No one here can do a damn thing about your complaints, so it does you no good to rant – other than, I suppose, to make you feel better.
The rules don’t prevent you from writing constantly about your one topic of interest, but imagine if all of us used this space as our personal diary to complain about our personal frustrations, unrelated to the topic at hand.
I can gripe about my son’s lack of ambition or my grandson’s disinterest in high school. Someone else can complain about being estranged from his family. And we could all ask for advice about our dog’s itchy skin patches. But it’s not Dear Abby. It’s not Dear Jeanine either.
I’ll try again. What did you think of the article? The topic was Northam paying for the vile truck ad.
Thank you, Gonego.
Way above your thinking of trickle down job creation.
The law is in place to be enforced. If you don’t like the laws then run someone willing to overturn them.
I will give you a fair shot though.
Gillespie said;
he will cut DPOR Regulations to spur job growth and broaden the base.
1) What regs?
2) projected bet job gain?
3) projected revenue?
4)MS-13 has been in Lynchburg/Forest, Va.
for about 8 years now.
Why hasn’t Ed Gillespie brought to the attention of the public that they were detected on a job site building a home as unlicensed subcontractors, even issued a violation.
All of this right next door to Senator Newman’s Legislative Assistant?
Is your greed that much of a driving force in Republican politics?
I posted what I thought above. Right st the end.
Latest poll shows Northam and Democrats pulling ahead in Virginia governors race;
http://www.suffolk.edu/news/74532.php#.WfxFL7opChB
I’m sure you’re thrilled. Time will tell.
No, not true. What would thrill me is if Republicans or Trump kept their campaign promises. Do you want me to list them again? Nothing but liars.
Now come on. I am Trump’s biggest supporter “to build the wall and build it tall”.
Now I am his biggest supporter of the wall because of the complicit Republican Virginia Legislature that allows illegal immigrants to be and employ Illegally in clear violation of current Virginia laws.
See these couple of local bad apples have lead to the Executive bad apple.
What DPOR Regulations does Ed Gillespie want to cut/stop? Will the non enforcement of his cuts lead to employing even more illegal immigrants?
Well run me over with a truck if that ain’t the exploitation of immigrants.
No I don’t want to by that waterfront property in Florida, it is just the SWAMP!
A balance of power (obstruction) is our best bet this November.
That poll only interviewed 500 people, which is a pretty small number. The only poll that really matters is the one on Tuesday.
Typical
