They depict some of the grisly crimes that have been captured on security cameras around the country recently as the ongoing crime crisis continues to spiral out of control. The advertisements ask voters to consider why this is happening and to take this critical issue into account when they vote next month.<\/p>\n<p>One person who definitely noticed the advertisements was Will Bunch, the liberal author and columnist for the Philadelphia Inquirer. Having his baseball game interrupted by such \u201cvile right-wing political ads\u201d was clearly more than Mr. Bunch could tolerate, so he <a href=\"https:\/\/www.inquirer.com\/opinion\/commentary\/citizens-for-sanity-tv-ads-republicans-20221016.html?scrolla=5eb6d68b7fedc32c19ef33b4\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">took to the pages of his newspaper<\/a> this weekend to vent his fury at the \u201cshadowy figures\u201d behind the advertising campaign. Apparently, seeing images of terrible things that are actually happening on America\u2019s streets today is an unwarranted disruption to the lives of ordinary Americans or something.<\/p>\n<p>If you live in Philadelphia or thereabouts, the October baseball playoffs have brought almost\u00a0<a id=\"reader.external-link.num-2\" href=\"https:\/\/www.inquirer.com\/news\/phillies-playoffs-braves-fans-eagles-flyers-20221015.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">unbridled joy<\/a>\u00a0from a Phillies hot streak, punctuated by\u00a0<a id=\"reader.external-link.num-3\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/CrossingBroad\/status\/1581037632548573184\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">an epic bat flip<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0<a id=\"reader.external-link.num-4\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/JClarkNBCS\/status\/1581440193071968256\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">an inside-the-park home run<\/a>\u00a0\u2014 and marred only by jarring interruptions from the most shockingly crude and, arguably, racist political ads\u00a0<a id=\"reader.external-link.num-5\" href=\"https:\/\/www.inquirer.com\/philly\/columnists\/will_bunch\/george-h-w-bush-1988-election-willie-horton-ad-michael-dukakis-lee-atwater-20181202.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">since Willie Horton<\/a>\u00a0hit the small screen in 1988.<\/p>\n<p>Every few innings, the dark, grainy TV spots \u2014 with a flood of unsettling images of\u00a0<a id=\"reader.external-link.num-6\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=SKfBDAevh-0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">urban crime<\/a>\u00a0and civic unrest, or large\u00a0<a id=\"reader.external-link.num-7\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/citizens_sanity\/status\/1579221328107741186\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">migrant caravans<\/a>\u00a0streaming toward the U.S. border \u2014 broke up the stream of otherwise cheerful spots for iPhones or car insurance. One says \u201cillegal immigration is draining our paychecks, wrecking our schools, ruining our hospitals and threatening your family\u201d \u2014 blaming President Biden, and telling Democrats to \u201cstop hurting our children,\u201d against an ominous, empty playground swing. The crime spot blames liberals for a wave of \u201cviolence, bloodshed and death\u201d as men with machine guns roam an urban wasteland.<\/p>\n<p>Bunch puts on his detective hat and figures out who is responsible for these advertisements that \u201cmarred\u201d the \u201cunbridled joy\u201d of a Phillies game. Do you really need me to tell you who he determined was the culprit? It was the Bad Orange Man, of course! Well\u2026 it wasn\u2019t Donald Trump specifically, but the group developing the advertisement, <a href=\"https:\/\/forsanity.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Citizens for Sanity<\/a>, is the brainchild of what Bunch calls \u201cthe very worst, xenophobic remnants of Team Trump.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>What Bunch fails to note is the fact that all of the crime clips being shown are actual events that were in the news. He tries to make hay out of the fact that one illegal immigrant featured in one ad (who raped a toddler at a fast food restaurant after being released early from prison) did so in 2020 before Joe Biden was in office. That\u2019s a rather weak defense since he is inadvertently highlighting the problems caused by mass illegal immigration that predate the Biden presidency but have only gotten much worse over the past two years.<\/p>\n<p>What\u2019s even more stunning is the way that Bunch<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you happen to be a baseball fan who has been watching the playoff games recently you may have noticed some intentionally jarring political advertisements popping up between innings.
