Zombies Attack Politician

Fox 5 San Diego brings us the following:

New political advertisements feature the “undead” campaigning against San Diego mayoral candidate Nathan Fletcher.

In one of the ads, zombies are shown walking through a park changing their path each time the narrator accuses Fletcher of switching sides on an issue.

The second commercial has zombies talking to each other about the candidate.

“The problem with Nathan Fletcher is he just stumbles from one position to the next,” one of the characters said.

The ad is paid for by “Zombies for Responsible Government Opposing Nathan Fletcher for Mayor.” It is just one of several attacks made against Fletcher in the past week.

The David Alvarez campaign is accusing Fletcher of breaking a pledge he made to run a clean campaign. They said a recently released flier attacks Alvarez and candidate Kevin Faulconer. The flier has a disclaimer that reads, “This message was not authorized by the candidate or a committee controlled by the candidate.”

From the press release:

The 2012 Presidential race is about to get more lively thanks to something quite dead – the news that A. Zombie, America’s first zombie Presidential candidate, is entering the race. 

A formidable third party contender for the nation’s highest office, A. Zombie is slated to announce his candidacy at a high-energy rally on Monday, August 20, at Westfield Horton Plaza in San Diego. The candidate and his human wife, Patty Morgan-Zombie, will then commence a cross-country bus tour that will take them to six major U.S. cities including Tampa and Charlotte, where they will bring their pro-zombie message to the Republican and Democratic Conventions. 

“My husband is someone who has dedicated his life and his afterlife to bringing equal viewing opportunities to all Americans,” said Mrs. Zombie. “He’s the right man to lead the fight to bring zombies to everyone in America, and he won’t stop -- even if it kills him, again.” 

The A. Zombie for President Campaign is organized by AMC Networks, home to AMC, WE tv, IFC, and Sundance Channel. Satellite company DISH dropped these networks earlier this year because of an unrelated lawsuit and is now in the disadvantaged position of being the nation’s only major television provider without these channels and their popular shows. 

A one-issue candidate, A. Zombie’s mission is to rally zombie fans around the country who don’t have access to these networks and shows to find an alternative television provider before the highly-anticipated third season premiere on October 14, 2012, of A. Zombie’s favorite show, AMC’s “The Walking Dead,” the most watched basic cable scripted drama series among DISH subscribers, according to the Nielsen company. 

At present A. Zombie’s campaign juggernaut is slated to motor to: San Diego (August 20); Dallas (August 24); Tampa for the Republican Convention (August 28); Atlanta (September 1); Charlotte for the Democratic Convention (September 3-4); and New York City (September 5).

Zombies Vs. The Westboro Baptist Church

From this article at The Huffington Post:

After members of the controversial Kansas-based church announced plans to picket Joint Base Lewis-McChord, a military base south of Seattle, 27-year-old Melissa Neace decided to organize a counter-protest, launching a Facebook group titled "Zombie'ing Westboro Baptist Church AWAY from Fort Lewis!" 

"We wanted to turn something negative around, into something people could laugh at and poke fun at," Neace told the News Tribune. "It was the easiest way to divert attention from something so hateful."
