Ken Mehlman's cynical effort to inflame white bigotry in Tennessee is no different from what the Republicans did in their infamous 1988 "Willie Horton" ad.
  • Why did the Repugs waste their money paying for this 30-second spot?

    Wouldn't it have been cheaper and easier just to run the five-second clip from "Animal House" where Kroger screams, "The Negroes stole our dates!"

    As far as the ad's accusations that Ford took money from pornographers, why haven't the Dems attempted to shame the Repugs about the millions they've taken from large media conglomerates--which are the biggest purveyors of--and profiters from--porn in the entire country?
