Racial Stereotypes Would Like To Send ‘Fellow Minority’ To Congress

by Jack Stuef  10:59 am May 13, 2011


Here is Democrat Dan Adler of California, who is releasing a series of ridiculous Web ads these days to bring attention to his run for Jane Harman’s seat in Congress. It’s working, because this ad seems a little offensive! Not that it’s wrong to have a thick accent and work in a laundromat if you choose to. You have that freedom, you know? “America: Go Nuts!â„¢” And you have the freedom to constantly interrupt people by yelling “I’M KOREEEEAN!” at them, if you choose to do so! This lady didn’t end that by hitting a gong, though, because she’s subtle. In other ads: Patty Duke, tight male bikinis, and swearing children. Democracy!

Okay, sure! His child says “shit,” which is another term for “poop!”

Our favorite part of his ads is the Dan Adler signs people just have posted random places; for example, on this basketball hoop, or in the Korean lady video, the guy walking by at the beginning carrying a sign. Californians are so crazy! They probably sprinkle Dan Adler signs on their California pizza and use them as toys in their disgusting California sex acts. [TPM]

Dan Adler is also a stereotype… ie: white guy with yellow fever.

horsedreamer_1 May 13, 2011 at 11:09 am

Black dudes date white chicks. White dudes date Asian chicks. Latinos… Latinos date whoever they want. It's in the Bible; it's a FACT.

MissusBarry May 13, 2011 at 11:11 am

Huh, I thought the good bookend used to categorize these things as sins. I must have my history wrong.

horsedreamer_1 May 13, 2011 at 11:25 am

Not a Vandals fan, I see.

MissusBarry May 13, 2011 at 11:28 am

Apologies for the missed reference.

undeterredbyreality May 13, 2011 at 11:33 am

I thought Messicans dated fat white chicks.

DahBoner May 13, 2011 at 11:48 am

Generally speaking, fat white chicks date anyone who will go out with them…

horsedreamer_1 May 13, 2011 at 12:05 pm

Only to make Juan Williams jealous.

Mahousu May 13, 2011 at 11:13 am

Actually, in the first ad, he looks kind of yellow, too. Well, sort of yellow-orange, at least. Perhaps it's the dry-cleaning chemicals affecting his skin.

DaRooster May 13, 2011 at 11:17 am

Boehner's cousin?

poncho_pilot May 13, 2011 at 12:04 pm

did you know that originally they used kerosene for dry cleaning? and for many years, gasoline. until there were a lot of fires. true story.

JoshuaNorton May 13, 2011 at 11:02 am

Perhaps we can convice his PR team to work for the other side?

Jason_inthe_Peg May 13, 2011 at 11:02 am

Please describe these disgusting California sex acts in detail. I am not suitabley "outraged."

Barb May 13, 2011 at 11:03 am

When will the "vote for me, you fat fucks!" ads be released?

Hatrabbit May 13, 2011 at 11:10 am

Newt's releasing that one on monday.

nounverb911 May 13, 2011 at 11:04 am

White people are finally a minority in California? When does Orange County secede?

Cat_Damon May 13, 2011 at 11:05 am

as soon as boehner agrees to be their ruler, of course

horsedreamer_1 May 13, 2011 at 11:09 am

Excuse me. You mean: Proconsul Bob Dornan, presiding.

themcwow May 13, 2011 at 3:25 pm

boehner is more orange, bob is ginger

Callyson May 13, 2011 at 11:39 am

Not soon enough for those of us in Los Angeles.

V572..whatever May 13, 2011 at 11:57 am

Too late! The OC's been converted to Nerdistan.

BZ1 May 13, 2011 at 11:04 am

Nope, no paid stooges here…

DerrickWildcat May 13, 2011 at 11:05 am

Jewish people are genetically funny.

LesBontemps May 13, 2011 at 11:12 am

Yeah, well, except for this one.

Unless you mean his DNA is screwed up.

DerrickWildcat May 13, 2011 at 11:14 am

Nice try, but that was funny.

memzilla May 13, 2011 at 11:17 am

A German, a Frenchman, and a Jew come into a bar after trekking across the desert for hours. The German says, "I'm thirsty and tired, I must have a beer!" The Frenchman says, ""I'm thirsty and tired, I must have some wine!" The Jew says, "I'm thirsty and tired, I must have diabetes."

SorosBot May 13, 2011 at 11:48 am

Not Joe Lieberman, though.

Texan_Bulldog May 13, 2011 at 11:05 am

I thought Korean people were supposed to be smart. The one who married this yahoo must be removed from the Asian gene pool.

zhubajie May 13, 2011 at 10:01 pm

The general pattern is that everything is invented in China and eventually the Koreans teach it to the Japanese.

ifthethunderdontgetya May 13, 2011 at 11:05 am

I'm surprised to see that Wonkette does not (yet) have a "poop" tag.

memzilla May 13, 2011 at 11:06 am

Adler's "He Gets S**t Done" meme is worthless without Mr. Hankey's endorsement, though.

Alternatively, you could make the case that all politics is a type of waste treatment.

hagajim May 13, 2011 at 11:07 am

Male bikini….humunahumunahumuna

Hatrabbit May 13, 2011 at 11:07 am

Today we are all Jewish Koreans.

SorosBot May 13, 2011 at 11:14 am

One of my law school classmates was a Jewish/Korean guy; with that background he was stereotypically predetermined to go into either law or medicine.

ManchuCandidate May 13, 2011 at 11:19 am

You've never eaten well until you've had Kosher Kalbi and from what I understand, Kimchee is konsidered Kosher.

finallyhappy May 13, 2011 at 11:22 am

Kimchee is just a fermented vegetable so it is kosher.

Negropolis May 14, 2011 at 12:43 am

Jewean/Korejew!

tiredalways May 13, 2011 at 11:07 am

Now all he has to do is Type 'T' in his twitter and we can call him Sarah Palin of Democrat(ic) Party.

donner_froh May 13, 2011 at 11:07 am

Shows just how embarrassingly bad can identity politics get–Dan should go far. Far away.

slithytoves May 13, 2011 at 11:08 am

I dunno, I kinda like the meme, and the quality of acting is far above teabagger portrayals of Washington.

GunToting[Redacted] May 13, 2011 at 1:45 pm

Gather… Your… Armies…

Barb May 13, 2011 at 11:09 am

He should have his wife make an ad, "me so horny, me vote you long time"

prommie May 13, 2011 at 12:07 pm

John Adler number 1, he love you long time, Jane Harman number 10!

I have always wanted to open a restaurant, just so I could have a special version of Miso soup on the menu, which I would call "Miso Horney Soup."

Barb May 13, 2011 at 12:12 pm

I'm sure your soup will sell better than the "cream of sum yung guy" soup.

WriteyWriterton May 13, 2011 at 10:49 pm

Crack me up, and on only one glass of vodka. You so funny!

Barb May 15, 2011 at 12:01 am

Thanks!

zhubajie May 13, 2011 at 10:20 pm

That would be the dog meat soup

horsedreamer_1 May 13, 2011 at 11:10 am

Okay, sure! His child says “shit,” which is another term for “poop!”

This was adorable in Win Win.

Hatrabbit May 13, 2011 at 11:12 am

Is he going for the dumber-than-teaparty dumb vote?

CapeClod May 13, 2011 at 11:12 am

Santorum dragged his kids into a political ad too. Look how well it worked for him.

SorosBot May 13, 2011 at 11:31 am

But then, Vitter had his kids in his ads, and made jokes about changing their diapers, and somehow he still got reelected.

charlesdegoal May 13, 2011 at 11:14 am

"My wife's Korean, I'm Jewish and I get shit done!" Campaign promises I bet he won't be able to keep any more than his son can pull off that Matrix dunk a second time.

LesBontemps May 13, 2011 at 11:15 am

"Gets shit done"? Needz moar buttsechs.

Swampgas_Man May 13, 2011 at 12:55 pm

"Does stuff in the shit"?

PeaceWithHonor May 13, 2011 at 11:15 am

Formerly safe seat

SorosBot May 13, 2011 at 11:16 am

You've got to admit, "vote for me 'cause I'm a Jewish guy with yellow fever" is a novel campaign slogan. Probably because it's not a very good one.

mavenmaven May 13, 2011 at 11:56 am

Fairly large constituency though. LA has a Shalom Korean spa…

Sassomatic May 13, 2011 at 11:17 am

The way that lady says "I'm Korean" makes me think they are still rounding up Japanese people to put in concentration camps and she's eager to make the distinction clear.

freakishlywrong May 13, 2011 at 11:18 am

Somebody's in deep kim chee at the Adler household.

Arken May 13, 2011 at 11:20 am

Vote for me! I'm an attention whore!

carlgt1 May 13, 2011 at 11:25 am

well if it angers teabaggers, and it does based on the youtube comments, then it must be alright!

Biel_ze_Bubba May 13, 2011 at 1:47 pm

Is there a single video clip on YouTube that doesn't have angry teabagger bullshit comments?

horsedreamer_1 May 13, 2011 at 11:27 am

Adler's isn't a campaign. It's an A/V movie.

Just needs more pixellated dong.

Lazy Media May 13, 2011 at 11:27 am

Patty Duke, still sexy. I'd like to spot her on a few bench presses, if you know what I mean.

mrblifil May 13, 2011 at 11:28 am

Now on Wonkette: Patty Duke with a big black schlong. It's gonna be a good weekend.

carlgt1 May 13, 2011 at 11:39 am

Patty loves to rock 'n' roll, a hot dog makes her lose control!

jqheywood May 13, 2011 at 12:20 pm

What a crazy pair!

prommie May 13, 2011 at 12:09 pm

Friday the 13th and Patty Duke with a big black schlong, it doesn't get any better.

horsedreamer_1 May 13, 2011 at 3:49 pm
BaldarTFlagass May 13, 2011 at 11:31 am

I'm not going to offer an opinion pro or con until SkoalRebel weighs in on this.

phlox✔ May 13, 2011 at 11:37 am

"Send a mensch to congress!" Really?

I know from mensches and Dan Adler is no mensch.

undeterredbyreality May 13, 2011 at 11:39 am

Didn't Patty Duke marry Gomez Addams and produce a Hobbit? Talk about mixing up the races.

baconzgood May 13, 2011 at 11:40 am

Dan Adler: Sticking his political cock all up in your legislative body's pussy.

proudgrampa May 13, 2011 at 12:30 pm

Well, since he's getting shit done, it might be the legislative body's other orifice. If you know what I mean.

fuflans May 13, 2011 at 11:40 am

huh. now i see the sean astin resemblance.

i never did before.

DashboardBuddha May 13, 2011 at 11:42 am

Ummm, Baldar. Did you just give the internet your phone number?

SorosBot May 13, 2011 at 11:47 am

No area code, so not really.

hilacious May 13, 2011 at 11:43 am

Holy shit!

And to think I was going to sit this election out.

Callyson May 13, 2011 at 11:44 am

Best of all, it seems that we are likely to see more productions from this campaign…
"…actor Sean Astin has taken it a step further, becoming campaign manager for Dan Adler (D), a former vice president at Walt Disney Imagineering.
Astin, known for starring roles in “The Lord of the Rings,” “Rudy,” “Encino Man” and, of course, “The Goonies,” is the son of actress Patty Duke. Both make cameos in Web videos that Adler said Wednesday in an interview with Roll Call have helped him quickly spread the word of his campaign after just five weeks in the race." http://www.rollcall.com/issues/56_121/California-...

SorosBot May 13, 2011 at 11:46 am

They mention Patty Duke, but not his more-famous father, Gomez Adams? Weird.

Rosie_Scenario May 13, 2011 at 4:39 pm

I recall Patty being an unwed mom before she married John Astin. Perhaps he gave the kid his name/ was his dad, but not DNA.

GOPCrusher May 13, 2011 at 12:40 pm

How could I have forgotten that he was in Encino Man?

undeterredbyreality May 13, 2011 at 11:44 am

Isn't that Cliff Claven standing behind our "D"-man in picture #1? I didn't know mailmen were allowed to endorse candidates. Didn't they have their rights taken away when they went to "work" for the government? And doesn't he live in Boston anyway? What's he doing endorsing a Californian? Alien zombie attack! Also.

GOPCrusher May 13, 2011 at 12:43 pm

And Ratzenberger is a Right-Wing asshat.

baconzgood May 13, 2011 at 11:46 am

Fuckin' A! That little Korean kid can ball!

DahBoner May 13, 2011 at 11:47 am

"This lady didn’t end that by hitting a gong, though, because she’s subtle."

Yeah, the 70's weren't subtle. There were a lot of gongs lying around…

Bang a gong. Get it on…

James Michael Curley May 13, 2011 at 11:48 am

Is Patty Duke's identical cousin from England that old?

mavenmaven May 13, 2011 at 11:59 am

wow, whatever happened to Ross? Memories of reruns when sick and home from school…

baconzgood May 13, 2011 at 11:51 am

All of it includes foulness! YUCK!

V572..whatever May 13, 2011 at 11:59 am

Hah! In the Gross Foreign Foods category, kimchee can't compete with nuoc-mam. Or ludefisk. (Trying to be an equal-opportunity xenophobe, here.)

jqheywood May 13, 2011 at 12:12 pm

You guys is krazy….kimchee is awesome! Especially homemade kimchee buried in the backyard for half a year and strong enough to clear the worst clogged sinuses. Of course, you do need to have kimchee parity with whomever you are currently swapping spit with, or there won't be any swapping of any precious bodily fluids at all.

And nuac mam, by itself, may smell like skank (okay, does smell like skank) but if you don't put it in Thai or Vietnamese food, everything will taste flat.

Goonemeritus May 13, 2011 at 11:52 am

Hey top of the morning to you as well Mr. Downfisty.

freakishlywrong May 13, 2011 at 11:56 am

Idiot Mcfistdown is fisting snarky comments about a Demonrat?

DahBoner May 13, 2011 at 11:54 am

Who cares?

We have something called "refrigeration", now.

Do you trim your beard? Wear mixed fabrics?

At some point in time, we got to call ignorant bullshit on "Kosher" laws….

Lascauxcaveman May 13, 2011 at 11:58 am

Kimchee is nature's most perfect food. Or at least the stuff I buy from the old Korean lady at the local farmer's market.

The fact that it happens to be Kosher does not detract from its awesomeness.

baconzgood May 13, 2011 at 11:56 am

Smart move going after that coveted Korean Jew voting bloc.

Buckminster May 13, 2011 at 11:56 am

At least he's not afraid to show his constituents he's nuts.

loulouroo May 13, 2011 at 11:59 am

Who knew Patty Duke was a dinge queen?!

Sue4466 May 13, 2011 at 11:59 am

Given his ads' production value, I'm betting Disney wishes he'd drop "former Disney VP" from his bio.

Biel_ze_Bubba May 13, 2011 at 1:59 pm

Goes a long way toward explaining the "former" part of that job description.

x111e7thst May 13, 2011 at 12:00 pm

I too wish to perpetrate disgusting sex acts . Need I go to California?

Lascauxcaveman May 13, 2011 at 12:04 pm

My buddy Alex got the number 588-ALEX. Which also works out to LUV-ALEX.

Which he had printed up on business cards and handed out to girls he met in bars.

BaldarTFlagass May 13, 2011 at 12:08 pm

Friend of mine has a wife named Dora. The last 4 of his home phone spell DORA. The prefix works well; he says, "Depending on how I'm feeling towards her at the moment, it's KIK-DORA, LIK-DORA, or KIL-DORA."

MistaEko May 13, 2011 at 12:05 pm

Forget it, Jack, it's Venice.

jakegittes May 13, 2011 at 8:53 pm

Hey wait. That's my line.

user-of-owls May 13, 2011 at 12:17 pm

I think this is fucking hilarious! All of them!

I have it on good authority that in the next ad he will announce that he's running as the Wonkette Party!

Dan Adler (W-CA)!!

poncho_pilot May 13, 2011 at 12:19 pm

if i was Jewish and Japanese i'd change my to Shlomo Arigato.

You owe me a keyboard cleaning.

i'll put Adler on it. he gets shit done.

You had me at "tight male bikinis"

Tommmcattt May 13, 2011 at 12:34 pm

Would I like to tap that long-haired Korean kid in the first video? Yes, yes I would. Is this scenario something I will be playing over and over in my head while I am at my 10:00 process improvement meeting? Yes, yes it is.

gurukalehuru May 13, 2011 at 12:39 pm

I guess he figures if Trump can say fuck, he can say shit. The dam is broken. Be prepared for a fucking shitstorm of cussin' from all of these cocksucking candidates.

proudgrampa May 13, 2011 at 12:58 pm

Reminds me of the popular bumper sticker: "HOW'S MY DRIVING? DIAL 1-800-EAT-SHIT."

Biel_ze_Bubba May 13, 2011 at 1:58 pm

So what's the problem? Racial stereotypes are a huge demographic in California.

GregComlish May 13, 2011 at 2:16 pm

What surprised me is that I still managed to pick up on the aggressively broken English even though I watched the video with the sound off.

lochnessmonster May 13, 2011 at 6:00 pm

Why wasn't Adler in the red "trunks"?

ttommyunger May 13, 2011 at 9:37 pm

This campaign is clearly lifted from Heldley Lamarr's now famous call for recruits to "Rape all the cattle and stampede all the women of Rockridge." He's got the kid, the jigs, the has-been, the never-was, muggers, buggerers, bulldykes, pimps, wimps and….Methodists. "Where's all the white women?"

Negropolis May 14, 2011 at 12:31 am

Needz moar "some of my best friends are black."

"My wife's Korean."

That's about as shameless a plug as I've ever seen in a political ad.

Negropolis May 14, 2011 at 12:48 am

Language, young man!

MilwaukeeKent May 14, 2011 at 6:14 am

Wow. The Wonkette community is actually upset by a three-way of viral/candidate ID ads? Adler's doing something right. You're all sounding like prudes on prunes. The edge has been found.
