What's wrong with some at DailyKos? (none / 0)
The Friday before last, Cenk bashed the bail-out and a lot of the Kos comments were VERY negative, even threatening with cancellation. Now Cenk posts this diary and a fair amount (I wouldn't say most, but still far too many) of overly sensitive dopes there flip out about it.

THIS is exactly why Dems lose elections despite being right on the substance...because there are far too many of them who won't allow HARD ads.

Some people just can't make a distinction between smear ads (i.e. McCain's ad saying Obama wants to teach little kids how to have sex) and hard ads (like this one).

Smear Ads make up and or intentionally and grossly misrepresent&n bsp;shit while Hard Ads simply give the hard hitting, ugly truth based on the facts.

Ah, it's so aggravating, the self defeating/self righteous nature of some Dems.

This ad can't lose (none / 0)

What are the possible outcomes?

GOP ignores it.  Message goes out into world unopposed.

GOP argues it.  Conversation centers around McCain's age.  It's clever.

I am pretty sure the Dems will accommodate any attempts to explain what is not true or distorted about this ad.

I suppose the media could call it somehow discriminatory.  That would make the Dems the mean ol' tough guys and McCain the wimpy little minority that needs protecting.

Yep.  I think all Grampa Death can do is sit there and take it.

Or you could run an ad against Obama cause he's black.  Since they think ageism and racism are the same thing, right?
