After the Trashing

A little bit of love forThe New Republic campaign blog written by Ryan Lizza. Link via TalkingPointsMemo.

Lizza writes: "A reader suggests a nickname for the new Bush spot: the Muhammad Horton ad. Another reader suggests Walid Horton." Walid or Muhammed, it's still a desperate attempt to scare the shit out of the voting public. Theme: a vote for Kerry is a vote for terrorism. The shot: a slow motion split screen featuring, again using Lizza's words, "swarthy, somewhat sinister-looking man with darting eyes who slowly turns toward the camera. He is clearly the terrorist in this scary montage."

Sleazy can hardly begin to describe their tactics.
