To the editor: Steve Hilton’s sexually charged political ad final week definitely received him some consideration (“Provocative, sexually suggestive ad by Hilton campaign condemned by political allies on the right,” Oct. 3). The narrative — with one assertive younger lady telling a bashful second lady “give me your hand,” “shut your eyes” and “I’ll do all of the work” — was decidedly edgy even with out the boudoir lighting. Was it vote-moving? Pastor Jack Hibbs, the influential conservative evangelical founder and senior pastor of Calvary Chapel Chino Hills, discovered the ad “grotesque” however nonetheless proclaimed that he’ll nonetheless vote for Hilton.
The extra salacious component to me is the mixture of sexual suggestion and bodily steering, even coercion, with the assertive associate bodily guiding the opposite’s poll selection on digicam. It seems that one particular person is manipulating one other’s vote. Isn’t that vote-manipulation metaphor disturbing to Hilton, Pastor Hibbs and the GOP? It’s to me.
