Fenty Goes Negative

[jsteele]

Everyone has been expecting it and it has finally happened. Today the Fenty campaign released two negative advertisements attaching Vince Gray for his management of the Department of Human Services during the early 1990s. You can see the ads here (they run back to back):

I have no problem with candidates going negative, but I would think it could be done better than this. In my opinion, these ads simply suck. They are almost like a spoof of negative ads. And, why is it that Fenty can't find anything negative to say about Gray from this century? Has Vince not failed at anything in 20 years?

Well, according to one poster a while back, he failed the "black litmus test"...

Let's all just remember that it was Gray, not Fenty, who went negative first. Neither he, nor any of his supporters have any right to complain after that little YouTube stunt, which was just part and parcel of his pathetic effort to ignite a class and racial war from which he seeks to benefit.

He's a walking douchebag. With last night's jizm sucked inside it.

And the first one really shows Gray's bottom teeth, which are supposed to be a good reason to vote against him.

They actually are. Do you really want to make that fugly pimp the face of this city?
