Democrat Janice Hahn Stars in the New Viral Video Smash Hit of the Summer!

Posted on | June 14, 2011 | 40 Comments

Janice Hahn is the Democrat running for Congress in the July 12 special election in California’s 36th District, to fill the vacancy created by the retirement of Jane Harman.

As a member of the Los Angeles City Council, Hahn promoted a program to use taxpayer money to hire convicted criminals as “gang intervention specialists.” Predictably, Hahn’s government employment program for gangsters amounted to a taxpayer subsidy for violent crime. New York Times, June 24, 2009:

LOS ANGELES — Federal agents announced criminal indictments for 24 high-ranking gang members, along with a prominent gang intervention specialist who associated with city politicians and routinely raised money from Hollywood’s elite.
The specialist, Alex Sanchez, director of Homies Unidos, a gang outreach organization in Los Angeles for more than a decade, was arrested and charged with a federal racketeering count for his alleged role in the assassination of a man in El Salvador in 2006.

Incredible as it may seem, Hahn actually called for a tax increase to pay for more of this dangerous nonsense:

Councilwoman Janice Hahn said she was happy to see the mayor’s plan to dedicate more money to gang prevention and intervention.
“What’s important is that we’re taking action. We’ve done the studies, we’ve seen the reports, the evidence is in. We need to act,” said Hahn, who has proposed a $30-a-year parcel tax to raise $40 million for anti-gang programs.

In 2008, Michelle Malkin was astonished to learn about this program:

City anti-gang money is going to convicted criminal gang-bangers who are hired as “gang intervention” specialists–while continuing their criminal activity.
The conduit? L.A. City Councilwoman Janice Hahn, who justifies the public pay-offs to gang members as a way to “keep the peace.”

Not surprisingly, the mainstream media is too busy celebrating Janice Hahn’s endorsement by Bill Clinton (who praises her “common sense solutions”) to bother examining Hahn’s involvement in the “gang intervention specialist” scandal. But somehow, I don’t think the media will be able to ignore that story much longer:

“Give Us Your Cash, Bitch” is directed by Ladd Ehlinger Jr.

This ad is sponsored by Turn Right USA, which is not connected to any candidate. And I’m pretty sure the Republican candidate, Craig Huey, is going to be as shocked as anyone by this video.

UPDATE: The director addresses the obvious accusation:

Before you charge racism at the ad, consider her one line in the video: “It takes a different kind of person to speak the language.” By that she means, it takes black people to talk to black people. It takes gang members to talk to gang members. They have their own language, we should coddle them. They’re not responsible for their actions if they murder someone, rape someone. They’re a minority.

Read the rest.

UPDATE II: The Daily Caller declares this the Most Offensive Attack Ad EVAH!

UPDATE III: Verum Serum and Flap’s Blog are now blogging the new video.

    “Definitely not connected with any candidate’s campaign committee-so suck it, McCain-Feingold”-

    Hahahaha classic

    Actually though this is probably not that unusual. I had a friend once who started sending her teenage daughter to a Boys and Girls Club because she thought it would be good for her. Within a few months the kid was on drugs and ended up in some kind of juvenile rehab facility, in fact, several. All through people she met at that place. And I’d almost be willing to bet Boys and Girls Clubs of America gets some degree of funding from the government through grants. I know I’ve heard politicians go on about what a fine, upstanding organization it is and all that crap.

  • Joe

    It depends on the Boys and Girls Club.  Some are quite good.  Some are horrible.  You do not just send your daughter to any club or organization, even if it is some church bible club, without checking it out, which includes going and seeing it in operation, meeting the volunteers and people in charge, and seeing what the kids are like.

    Wonder what you clowns think of the Georgia governor’s idea to use ex-cons on parole to work farms now that illegals are fleeing the state, causing a labor shortage.  Basically the same thing right? Is that too much cognitive dissonance for your pea-brained, xenophobic ignorant brains to compute?

  • Nospam

    Great parody!
    All you missed was an attempt to shift teh blame to Sarah Palin, G.W.  Bush, or the “Religous Right”…

    Greatest Disclaimer EVAH:

    “Definitely not endorsed by any candidate. So suck on it, McCain-Feingold.”

    I grovel before the awesome.

  • Nospam

    Seriously: No.
    I’ve got no doubt that Jane Whatsername is exactly the kind of criminal-enabling vermin she’s portrayed as (“Democrats”, we call them)… but will this ad- stripper, red glowing eyes, blood drips and all- really convince anyone to vote Republican? Hell, I thought it was  an Onion parody or something…

    Actually no its not the same thing. The operative words in your ignorant post are “ex-cons” and “on parole”.

  • http://thepagantemple.blogspot.com/ ThePaganTemple

    You’ve got a point. Sometimes I think California is beyond hope. I’m still waiting for the day they ask for a bailout. If Obama is re-elected and enough Dems are in Congress, they’ll get it too. Funny how all these democrats bitching about how higher taxes would help balance the budget seem to conveniently ignore what’s going on in Cali.

    I suspect that Ms Hahn’s program had the same failing IE: the inability to distinguish the difference between ex-gang members and practicing gangsters. As for anti-gang programs in large metropolitan areas a high level of marksmanship is a must.

  • MrPaulRevere

    Our girl Amanda M. is not amused. Expect a Little Green attack at any moment.

    You do have point, I too share your fear many in that district will see this as a pro-Hahn ad.

    “For once you have paid him the Danegeld, you’ll never be rid of the Dane!”

    Same verse with a little more melanin.

    Ah, no, not really the same thing at all. Heck, as long as he expands it to “anyone currently on unemployment”, I’m good.

    And by viral you mean 302 views? That number will go up up but I imagine not because it is being watched by Republican voters in LA.

  • Indythedog

    Doesn’t anyone here find this offensive?  Really?  Is the fact that is exploitation at it’s worst…fear mongering…masogonistic….base and gratuitous, doesn’t phase anyone?  Really?  Or am I just awash in a sea of facisits?

  • Anonymous

    Who the hell are you to talk?  You can’t even spell “misogynistic” correctly.  Or “fascists”, for that matter.

    Educate yourself before you start pounding on the keyboard.

    The only thing this blogger and his buddies find offensive is taxes.  Anything else is fair game.

    When money in your pocket is the only thing that matters, most pasty white guys can just overlook the other stuff because, you know, it doesn’t touch them.

    Obviously I overlooked the importance of spelling.  Taxes and spelling — that’s all they care about.

    You don’t know enough about reality to have a real problem with any of that.  You’re just out to bag some protester sex, so why don’t you bugger off and get on with it?

    Odd place to look for it, even for an idiot like you…

    I’m offended. That was one ugly stripper. I’m going to have to wash my eyes with bleach now.
