Anti-Americanism at the RNC

As the New York Times reported today, the Republican National Committee will soon begin running an ad in support of President Bush; an ad that, among other things, pisses on the graves of 3,000 American civilians for political gain. Far from merely calling dissent unpatriotic, the ad strongly implies that Democrats running against Bush support terrorism against Americans and desire more of it. This dishonest and disgusting piece of propaganda is the antithesis of civil discourse.

The Republicans have crossed a line with this ad. They have slithered out of the last dead bits of decency that clung to them. For them, nothing is out of bounds, and anything may be sacrificed to the greater good of the Party. Give George Walker a 5-year plan and a moustache, and we’ll have to start calling him Josif Vissarionovich.
