Ever been to Louisiana? One interesting thing is that the “Mexico” underneath the state is actually made of seawater (and BP oil). But this hasn’t stopped Diaperman’s campaign from producing this comically offensive ad full of Cheech & Chong extras climbing through the Bayou State’s “border fence.”
Your editor was born and raised in Louisiana, and distinctly remembers a total lack of Mexicans when he was growing up. This became more noticeable in retrospect, because your editor next lived in Phoenix, which has many people of Latino heritage and the tamales and all that. But a funny thing apparently happened in Louisiana over the past decade or so: Mexican people somehow got through the Gulf of Mexico fence and began doing many of the low-wage jobs they’ve long done in the Southwest: construction, dishwashing, etc.
After Vitter’s party drowned most of the black people who had long lived in New Orleans to the great annoyance of white people in Metairie and Kenner and wherever, state Republicans needed a new minority to hate like hell. Luckily, Republicans from the Southwest had experience hating the Mexican, who is both a minority and a foreigner. Knowledge and tactics were passed from West to Southeast. And, well, this is the video result.
That would be the end of the story, but local religious leaders got all pissed off about this commercial, and the Catholic Church is still a very big deal in New Orleans, and now Vitter might have to apologize or even change his campaign ad to something more respectable, like murdering women or screwing children.

They're coming from Texas, across the Sabine river. FINISH THE DANGED RIVER CROSSIN'!
Dave? Dave's not here.
Maybe this will induce Sgt. Stadenko to join the border patrol….
Open up the goddam door!
When I saw the high fivin' Mexican guys in the ad, I thought they seemed like a fun group of people to have around!
I wonder what the casting calls look like for the commercials where they need tearist messicans? Has anyone seen one? And do they guys who climb through the fence get to hang out and have cake and coffee afterward with the guys who play in the marching band? Or do they film them separately to avoid a beat-down?
Same guys. Quick costume change.
I would imagine they didn't tape the bit with the check with the Latin-looking gentlemen around; that may have been too much.
And I can't help but wonder, what will all the white folks do when there's no one around to garden/paint/construct their 6000 sq. ft. dwellings for them?
We have loads of contractors up here in the NoEast who sport 'W'/McCain-Palin/American Flag motifs on their working trucks, yet employ day worker crews almost exclusively. The disconnect is striking–they're undoubtedly "against illegal aliens", yet they exploit their hard work. And they're not all 'Messican Tearists'–there's the Irish/Polish/various Eastern European bunch who don't have green cards, either. So…WTF?
It is interesting to note that some of the large, moneyed Irish clubs up here are very much against this illegal-alien-boogie-man posturing by rethugs–"undocumented" comes in many colors, something lost or purposefully ignored by the right wing & teatards.
I want to know if Vitter got the discount rate by buying his scary footage from fellow line-toe-r Sharron Angle. Only because it looks like the same azn's she used in her commercial.
The best part, for me, are the blue-eyed, blond, Aryan cops bending over the front of a cop car like they are about to be frisked/ass-fucked.
But that might just be me, and my penchant for ass-fucking Aryan cops. Don't like to look 'em in the eye.
And you know who else used propaganda images of blue-eyed blond Aryans menaced by swarthy foreigners?
Walt Disney?
The Indiana Jones franchise?
Lord of the Rings franchise, for sure.
Fuck you, Tolkien/Peter Jackson!
"Indiana Jones vs. The Torah-Desecrating Mohammedans & Nazis" was the best of the series. "Indiana Jones & The Monkey-Brain-Eating Wogs" was a bit over-the-top-gross, and "Indiana Jones & The Goblet-Fetishizing Papists" was just boring. But "Indiana Jones & The Bolshevik Alien Autopsy" had its moments.
Just LOOK at that crappy fence. Vitter's in Congress, right? Why hasn't he been down there making sure that border fence is made of solid lead 15 meters thick and 75 meters tall, and equipped with death-ray lasers? Why, that thing makes even the Berlin Wall look bad.
what kind of a furrin' name is meloncan?
French. Pshh. Figures, huh?
He's probably actually descended from the Acadian French who arrived in Louisiana (Acadiana) in the 18th century, but why waste an opportunity to lol 'cuz France ppl r pussies, right?
Most of the people currently in or running for statewide office in Louisiana have French names: Landrieu (two of 'em–OK, one just left statewide office to be mayor of New Orleans), Dardenne, Fayard, Melancon, etc. This is not unusual here, and it's not used against them. I didn't live here yet during the freedom fries business, but I doubt that had much hold here either.
Oops, I just saw a ways down the page that you're from here.
So, did the freedom fries business have much hold here? I have a Master's in French and have lived in Frenchyland off and on, so all the French place and people names make me happy, as do fleurs de lis and casual Frenchifying of words such as "geaux."
Hi, finette. No, I didn't see any different treatment of Cajun folks in LA during the "freedom fries" nonsense. I think the Cajuns are fascinating. I never had the impression that they had ever aligned themselves, culturally or otherwise, with European Francophones. And although the white/anglo population had been pretty prejudiced against Cajuns in the past (perhaps partially due to segregation and the isolating effects of language difference in French-speaking settlements), I think things changed drastically throughout the 20th century. The advent of modern communication, along with unprecedented massive investments in infrastructure and public education begun by Huey Long in the 20s and 30s, helped lift a lot of Cajuns out of poverty and they assimilated more thoroughly with the rest of the population. Growing up, I was aware of a bit of lingering prejudice among older white folks, but that has pretty much been dying out with the last of those generations. At this point, I don't see much "otherizing" of Cajuns in Louisiana any more — but that's just my impression. I have no idea if any research or academic study has been devoted to this — if there has, I'd be interested in reading it.
The ad is full of shit. (Too easy? Sorry, but it's late.)
Oh, you laugh about messkins jumping over Lousiana's Water-Fence, but Florida never manged to Complete the Danged Fence (HEEEENNNGGHHHGGGGHHH) and now it's totally overrun by messikin-cuban terror babies, who are earning English and Latin degrees, so they can take that knowledge back to Hezbollah and use it for Evil, somehow.
It's worse than that. I dun hurd one of them ankor terror babys iz gunna be the next senator frum Florida. Marko Rubio – that there's a socialist name iffn evah thar wuz one.
OH MY GOD THEY'VE INFILTRATED OUR GOVERNMENT
Virginia Foxx was right, all along!
And here I thought it was Virginia Woolf about whom we were to wet our knickers. Isn't she the wool wolf, the demon sheep, Liz Taylor decked-out as Bo Peep, or whatever? I think I haz a confused.
Wait but but he talks all constushunny and makes me feel like I'm smart. He's one of them ankr baby's?
I see a sign like that associated with a Republican and I assume it has to do with buttsecks, diaper and all.
That sign is tattooed on Vitter's left buttcheek.
I think Vitter had buttsecks in mind as well when he personally penned that last line – "….and they just keep coming and coming and coming…."
But he's all about the diaper filling, so shouldn't it be "keep going and going and going…"?
Mexicans are not trying to get into Louisiana. Believe me, NO ONE is actively trying to get into Louisiana.
So there are lots and lots of unemployed white people in Louisiana who want to wash dishes, cook in restaurants, clean rich people's houses and pick mirlitons?
Hey! How do you know about mirlitons?? Are you one o' dem lefty perfessers come to brainwash our chere lil' t-boys, missy??
And for yo information, T-boy will go back ta work makin good money scrubbin tawlets and dodgin awl rig explosions once dat soshulis' guvmit liffs the offshore mortoreum.
No brainwashing, I have a Junior League cookbook from one of your fine cities. I like your explanation much, much better though. I may act on it after googling "brainwashing techniques".
Wash? Cook? Clean? That's what we brung all them darkies over here for – that's not fit work for a white man!!!
Needed Immediately: Shady Mexican type border crossers, shifty eyes, "spic-y" appearance, please apply at our New York City studios.
Asians too, are also welcome to try out. Apparently.
"You guys, you guys, I landed the gig! 'Dirty Messican Immigrant #4! I have to call my abuela, she'll be so proud!"
One should not forget that all them brown people came to Louisiana to rebuild it after Katrina and Rita.
That was their first mistake.
So, Republicans are blatantly labeling their glory holes now? With light-up signs and all?
Are you sure those are Mexicans? They look a little Asian to me…
The governor of Louisiana looks kinda Pakistani, though he could be some kind of Indian.
Sharon Angle was in charge of casting.
Why can't Angle discern a slant?
She's too busy not seeing color (or rather, not seeing shades of color – they're all not-white)
She can. That's why she has limited all her interviews to Fox News and rightie radio.
Wow that looked like quite the production. The money he spent on that commercial could have been better spent on fixing that giant hole in the fence between Mexico and the State of Louisiana or helping rebuild NOLA.
Did they put the casting call for "filthy messicans" in the Philadelphia Enquirer?
yes, Philly- I think Mikie Steele gets a kickback since it was some years ago that he hired the homeless in Philly to work on his Senate campaign
Plus, isn't the Gov. of Louisiana a Mexican or something…, looks awfully foreign (i.e. brown) to me.
As is that adulterous lady running for governor of one of the Carolinas (I don't bother telling them apart, Yankee scum that I am). Yet, we don't hear any teabaggers complaining about outsiders trying to infiltrate the government and impose Shiva law. Asians win again in the least scary brown people game!
He beez a dot head Injun. Real name is Piyush Subhas Chandra Amrit "Bobby" Jindal.
Why'd they name him "Armpit"? Oh, wait…. never mind…
OT, but good ol' Bobby is an ankr baby.
Yes, he's brown but he speaks the language they understand: I'll Lower Your Taxes.
A wire link fence for Louisiana makes as much sense as a Polish submarine with a screen door.
Don't laugh…it keeps out the fish.
Or a third-base coach with Tourette's Syndrome.
Why does a kielbasa sandwich need a screen door?
this is a remake. i saw that movie when it first came out. it was called "a boy and his dog." it didn't make any more sense then than this version makes now.
Reminds me of Death Wish III.
Gay Gangsters, Fuck Yeah!!1!
I saw "A Woman and Her Dog – Something Different". What an eye opener.
When Vitter's consultants told him to shit all over the Mexicans, I'll bet this ad wasn't what he had in mind.
Judging by the all the plaid shirts in the commercial, I'd say that the Illegals are coming to take the grunge rock jobs that Americans won't do anymore.
I know! I could not tell if they were Messkins, or hipsters who had been lying in the sun too long and become an uncharacteristic shade of brown.
Arrest Stone Gossard!
KURT COBAIN WAS AN INSIDE JOB!
Or they're all lesbian Mexicans. Maybe, like Michelle Rodriguez, they're all coming to take over the redneck job of driving drunk down our roads!
The clip is cut off at the end (just like me!), but ithe whole commercial says, "Charlie Melacon will eat your babies and rape your cats with illegal aliens and shit on your grandmother's grave and fuck you up just to be a dick because he's a dick. Hi, I'm David Vitter and I approved this message and I will burn in hell for it."
Those horny fuckers keep coming and coming and coming. There will be so much splooge that it'll hard for Vitter's hookers to get traction to change his diaper.
Those same Mexicans were literally bused in by hundreds and given temporary housing to rebuild New Orleans cheaply and quickly. But then, the big fat government checks were going to the American contractors who kept the fat margins generated from the sweat of those mexican's brows. And Vitter did his part to block any immigration reform to require those contractors to face penalties for knowingly hiring undocumented workers. But its hard to capture the humor of that in a 15 second campaign ad.
David Vitter just enjoys pushing out the browns.
Oh, well played. Disgustingly well played.
David Vitter luvs his constituents, and luvs representing the Sportman's Paradise in the Senate. Therefore, it's no surprise that he pampers his coalition of right wing oiltards by reinforcing their redneck fears with ads like these. When he returns to the bayou he gets nothing but huggies from like-minded roughnecks. Sorry, I'm out of material.
Not as long as Vitter's around, you're not.
Trying to decide which Repug is the most repugnant. Got to be a three-way tie between Vitter, Mitch McConnell and Newt Gingrich…..Wait, a three-way with Newt, Mitch and Diaper Dave? MUST.WASH.BRAIN!
Ugh, yes a repellent thought, that. I vote McConnell-I want to take his turtle head and beat on it 238725756347 times with a baseball bat lined with railroad spikes.
Hmmm, well my Yogic mellow has harshed quickly today.
Not going to get better for a while, either.
Ken, where you from, cher? I'm glad to know you're from Louisiana — it makes me feel a little less ashamed to admit the same.
I grew up in La. when Messcans were a rarity, too. And the Catholic Church was much more dominant, too, at least in my neck of the swamps. But I think that may be changing. I don't know how much influence the old-fashioned social-justice (Glenn Beck cuss words) Catholics have in Louisiana anymore. Since social justice work is pretty much the last thing I have left to love about the Catholic Church, it makes me very sad to think about that.
Speaking of religion and politics, here's a link to a a local NYC radio show I heard today on the subject. Some pretty amazing insights on the bastard love child that this particular marriage always spawns.
http://beta.wnyc.org/shows/bl/2010/oct/19/god-and...
Ack! A link which requires more than 30 seconds of my attention!
Just kidding — thanks. I will listen to it tonight or tomorrow. It looks very interesting!
New Orleans, Ms. Kitty. Lower Ninth Ward but we later moved up by Lakefront airport and eventually about 1,800 miles away.
So is that his wife in the video? Wasn't she a skinny brunette in a leopard print dress, standing grimly by his side (or was that some different scorned wife)?
Cause in this video, she looks like a different person. New wife? Stunt casting? Prostitute?
Was that Linda Tripp?
The problem is them Messicanz haz this thing called a work ethic and that, more than the brown thingie, is the problem. Amongst the monies behind the Teaturds is Agribiz and all their entitlements, Oil Biz and their depletion allowances, Bankers with the fiduciary responsibility of a crack ho, and all their incestuous cuzzins have to have some straw wog to spank. Now it iz the elites and Messicans. They wouldn't want Joe and Jill Sixpack to see how deep they dig in the Federale frijole jar, so they point at the Mexicans doing jobs that Jill & Joe won't do and screech like harpies about illegullz (whom BTW agribiz hires by the truckload).
I'm a tolerant libtard type, but when that illegal in the limousine started making the "jack-off" gesture out the window, even I felt a frisson — strike that — tremor of nativism.
The do exorcisms and everything.
If you don't let the illegals in who will rebuild New Orleans? Republican Congress and President wanted to drop the prevailing wage rate, which would allow the contractors to hire non-union illegals. I am confused, do you want to let them in or not.
Beat me to it Beowoof. i had two friends, an electrician and a contractor who went down there after Katrina, and that was clearly their impression that the Hispanic work was integral to the rebuilding.
"We want them in, but we want to suspend the Bacon-Davis Act so we can pay them in corn tortillas and Jarritos Pineapple Soda."
This ad is missing something………
Oh yeah, I've got it! It needs Vittter to barge into the last scene with an M-16 and pour a (fake) stream of lead into the actors playing the illegals while yellin, "Get some! Get Some!"
1.Park a bunch of ’71 Olds Ninety-Eights at all the major dumbfuck polling places in Louisiana and sell large glossy pics of Sarah Palin’s chesticle area out of the trunks.
2.Apply cranial bops to the dumbfucks just as they start to “adjust the keys” in their pockets, stuff them in the trunks, and drive them to an abandoned lower 9th Ward location.
3.Force feed them cold semi-organic material from Taco Bell.
4.Order them to strip and don some Huggies Big-Boy Pullups.
5.Wait for Taco Bellian nature to take its course.
6.Pin a copy of Diaper Dave’s commercial to their Huggies, load them back in the trunks, dump them in El Junco (a real place, ironically enough) Mexico, and let the federales work their magic.
Undocumented Mexicans make Vitter's constituents feel bad because they work much harder–and are probably smarter as well.
Cops in Louisiana have an easier time than cops in other states, since anyone who emerges from Louisiana's watery border fence is guaranteed to be both brown and well-lubed.
Anybody seen Robert Rodriguez's movie Machete? This ad looks like it could've been taken right from that movie.
Rodriguez worked hard to portray right-wingers exploiting the fear/hate of Messkins as ridiculously cartoonish. Reviewers criticized him for going "over the top."
Well fuck all if Machete isn't starting to look as much like documentary as raucous political satire.
the danged fence needs to be flexible(but not irritating) and super absorbent before david vitter will pour his support into it.
Ken, let me just say that you're refined narrative of the history of Mexicans in Louisiana is the funniest thing I've seen in a very long time.
Luckily, Republicans from the Southwest had experience hating the Mexican, who is both a minority and a foreigner. Knowledge and tactics were passed from West to Southeast. And, well, this is the video result.
HA!
If by "Mexicans" he means "hurricanes and water", yeah, he's totally right.
Melocon's ads should all start and end with "I'm the only Senate candidate not wearing a diaper." or "I'm not currently fucking a hooker.:"
And cumming…and cumming…and cumming!! Looks like a fun party!
Maybe his hooker told him to do it?
