Anti-Abortion Crusader Aims To 'Humiliate' Obama As Dem Challenger

Notorious anti-abortion noisemaker Randall Terry is running for president. Here's why: Terry thinks he can use his campaign as a vehicle to put graphic images of aborted fetuses on national television, preferably during the Super Bowl. The strategy worked for him last year, when the Terry-managed Missy Reilly Smith campaign -- she was a candidate for DC delegate to the House -- was able to broadcast ads so graphic YouTube pulled them.

So, that's the plan: raise enough money with his campaign to get a graphic anti-abortion ad on during the Super Bowl in 2012 by using his presidential candidacy as a hook to prevent TV stations from refusing to air them in the middle of the primary calendar. (More on the scheme here.)

4. Simplest way to solve the Terry problem

Find some liberal with enough money to buy a Super Bowl ad, and prepare one that's just a long scrolling list of Randall Terry atrocities. Then inform Mister Nutbags himself that if he runs for president we WILL put that shit on the air, and we will make damn good and sure to buy the ad space immediately in front of his...making sure to put a card at the end of our spot that reads "now would be a REAL good time to go to the bathroom."
