Jon Stewart did the mainstream media’s job, and revealed that repugican cabal
minority outreach strategy is the same one that Kool cigarettes used to
target African Americans.
Video of Part 1:
The Daily Show host called the rnc autopsy a “one hundred page report
to reassure repugicans that they don’t need to change what they are
saying, just how they are saying it. Whenever you tell a gay person that
their love is too unnatural for society to recognize, smile.” Stewart
told America what the repugican cabal’s minority outreach was all about, “Let me
break this strategy down, if I may. After pretending minorities didn’t
exist proved a loser, the repugican cabal has decided to go into these
areas and engage person to person, or as it’s known on the streets,
talking….There you go. Go into minority neighborhoods, do a little
market research, then send paid spokespeople back into those minority
neighborhoods with retargeted message. Hey, it worked for Kool
cigarettes. Why not for another organization that has seemed indifferent
to the overall health of minorities.”
In Part 2 of the segment, Stewart shows how this repugican cabal’s new minority strategy already went off the rails at cpac.
Stewart was right on about the rnc’s minority marketing strategy. Here is how a C
ampaign For Tobacco Free Kids
report described the tobacco companies marketing to African Americans,
“The tobacco industry has also used symbols and events held in high
esteem by community members as another tactic to reach this community.
For example, in 2004, Brown & Williamson started an ad campaign for
their Kool brand cigarettes clearly aimed at youth—and African-American
youth, in particular. The Kool Mixx campaign featured images of young
rappers, disc jockeys and dancers on cigarette packs and in advertising.
The campaign also included radio giveaways with cigarette purchases and
a Hip-Hop disc jockey competition in major cities around the country.”
The repugican cabal thinks they are going to fix their demographic
issues by following the lead of an industry that got people hooked on
their dangerous product by lying to them about the health risks of that
product. That sounds about right. When your party is in such bad shape
that you have to take marketing tips from an industry that professional
creates addicts to kill, you’ve got real problems.
As cpac demonstrated, before the rnc can think about getting
minorities hooked on their bad for their health toxins in their party
platform they have to not be destroyed by the destructive behavior of
their current addicts.
It isn’t a coincidence that the rnc would be inspired by Kool
cigarettes, because both smoking and the beliefs of the repugican cabal
are bad for your health.
