I'm not sure what is shameful about the ad. I think this is truly how they see the stakes to this election.
Note, I don't see the stakes that way, but it is not shameful or irrational to believe the people who say they want to kill Americans, and who don't appear to be bound by some of the same constraints that our previous enemies were bound by.
I also think the Republicans are making the problem worse, not better. And the execution of the ad pushed most of my 'oh fuck, the Republicans are going to get us all killed' buttons.
The production values are also pretty weak. Maybe it works on a larger screen.
The genius of the Daisy ad was that it focused on what we all want, peace, children, flowers, etc, and then the mood shifted, got darker with the count down, and boom...
