Thread Name: BS: GA Sen Chambliss - Questionable Video Ad
Subject: BS: Fatherly or perverted? (Chambliss video)
Check out this video:
GA Sen. Saxby Chambliss campaign video

Today is the run-off election in Georgia for the US Sen. seat currently held by Saxby Chambliss (who there is reason to believe may have 'defeated' Sen. Max Cleland in 2002 via electronic voting machine fraud but I digress).   This campaign video for Chambliss has more than a few eyebrows raised, with people seeing his manner of caressing of his daughter as inappropriate, to say the least.

Personally, I'm not so sure there's anything incestuous going on. However, an Iranian (IIRC) Muslim immigrant man was arrested, prosecuted, jailed, and financially ruined a few years back, with his daughter being taken from him and given to a Christian family, because he caressed her, at a sports event (basketball?) in open view of everyone, in a manner deemed inappropriate by our culture. Since both these families are from the southeastern US, I'm wondering if the public and the law will apply a uniform standard or a double one.

What do you guys think?
