Iowa Senate candidate: "I will blow your balls off with my Glock." Well there's a cheery campaign slogan.

Courtesy of TPM:  

Iowa Independent Senate candidate Bob Quast has a new ad out in which he waves around a Glock gun and threatens to "blow your balls off." 

The ad, tuned to cheery music, is called "#GotBalls Vote for Bob Quast" and features Quast, a long-shot candidate in the race, arguing about term limits and the Second Amendment. 

"If you are the sexual predator and sociopath who murdered my sister Lynette and you come to my front door to do harm to my girls, I'm going to use my Glock. To blow your balls off," Quast said smiling. 

Quast takes a jab at another eye-catching ad, by state Sen. Joni Ernst (R-IA) in which she touted her experience castrating pigs. 

"Now please do not confuse me with Iowa's Republican candidate for Senate," Quast said before snapping his fingers. The video then shows a picture of a pig.

Oh yeah, THAT'S the kind of mental stability one would expect from their Senator. 

Personally I was very confused about the reference to his murdered sister so I did some digging around.

It turns out that he did indeed have a sister who was killed by her husband:  

In 1999, Thomas Craft pleaded guilty to manslaughter in the brutal murder of his wife, Lynnette, who is Quast's sister. Police found pieces of Lynnette's body scattered across the Ann Arbor, Mich., area. But under a plea deal, he was released from prison in 2011. He is now under supervision at a halfway house in Ohio. 

The fact that this man is not in prison has been of great concern to Quast, and somehow that seems to have reinforced his pro-gun stance. 

I can certainly empathize with this man's anger over his sister's murder, but I also think that it might have made a rather unfortunate impact on his own mental health.

Flashing a gun around in a commercial, and using that opportunity to threaten somebody with having their balls shot off, is not just poor politics, it signifies somebody dealing with unresolved feelings of rage and fear.

Not only should somebody like that not be Senator, I would be somewhat concerned that they have access to firearms as well.

So let's see so, we have now met a Senate candidate who wants to shoot balls off, and one who brags about cutting balls off. Wow, Iowa aren't you enjoying an embarrassment of riches!

      Well, I guess Palin won;t be appearing on CBS any decade soon. I think this is great news! Colbert is talented. He'll be awesome, and SKANK and brood won't have a mainstream outlet.

    Sorry to go off-topic, but check out this Tea Party Candidate that Sarah Palin recently endorsed:

    Is this the sort of scum that Palin considers a "Patriot"?

      Palin considers most every white gun fetishist a "patriot."

    In other circumstances Miss Bitch Wasilla would endorse this yahoo, but he's running against her pig castrating candidate, and he's not playing nice, either. So Bitch will most likely go after him for attacking her candidate.

    The very fact that this ad made it on air shows how far this country has gone in the wrong direction. It's sick.

    I know a lot of people who live in Iowa and I can't imagine any of them voting for either of these candidates who are hung up on removing balls or even mentioning them. Chuck Grassley is bad enough but even he looks somewhat sane compared to Quast and Ernst.

    1. This Iowa bagger wannabe and the rest of the "real" bagger candidates sure seem to have them some serious penis envy issues going on. Hopefully, they all get some therapy with ObamaCare now.

      Re MS Senate candidate Chris McDaniel being called each of the following--- a dick, a teabagger, or a pussy --- I agree with any of em, all of em. But now, with Quitter Queen's "Official" endorsement of this Kochsucker, he's just a LOSER. Since there's no chance for a Democrat to make a play for this seat, I hope Thad Cochran kicks McDaniel's punk ass in the GOP primary.

    Bob does not appear to have a poet's heart! Glock does not rhyme with balls.

      Well, he just missed another word that does rhyme with Glock.

      This catchy little campaign slogan might convince Palin to switch her endorsement in the race. He sounds like her kind of guy even more than the gal who merely cuts or ties the little fellers off.

    O/T But related, Congressman McAllister requested a security camera system upgrade because of the shooting of Congresswoman Giffords. Another Sarah Palin curse.

    What a beautiful tribute to his deceased sister's memory. Vowing to shoot off balls with his Glock. I wonder if he has that engraved on her tombstone? Is it me or does he seem to have "anger issues"?
