I don't mind negative ads that underline the opponents record. Nor do I mind if they happen to attack a veteran.
What i mind is cheap shots. Remember the MoveOn.org ads with Bush and Hitler? Tell me that was fine by you. Putting cleland, a veteran who lost limbs for his country with the company of Osama Bin laden and Sadaam Hussein was cheap and deplorable. Just as you'd probably think if we put Bush and Hitler together in a Democratic ad.
