Did you know that a tiny Jew and his greasy dago buddies are trying to RAPE THE STATE OF VIRGINIA? That seems to be the message of this NRA commercial in support of Republican gubernatorial candidate Bob McDonnell. Sure, it's never bad politics to attack New York City, but even Virginia has HBO now. These people have seen "The Sopranos." They know what highly-stylized mob brutality looks like. Isn't there a danger that they'll be more insulted by the crappy production values and terrible acting in this ad than convinced by its contentions? Seems risky!
