DeWine Uses Smear Tactics to Mislead Ohio Voters

Ohio Republican incumbent Senator Mike DeWine reached a new low in negative campaigning today when he used images of the American tragedy of 9/11 to smear his opponent in the U. S. Senate campaign, Ohio Congressman Sherrod Brown.

It is not the first time DeWine has used underhanded distortions in a campaign. During his failed bid against American hero and astronaut Senator John Glenn an Ohio newspaper reported the DeWine campaign claiming, "…if Glenn had his way the Berlin Wall still would be standing and former Soviet republics still would be enslaved."

"Misleading voters and dirty campaigning is nothing new for Mike DeWine," said Brown Campaign Manager John Ryan. "But today, he reached a new, shameful, low. The ad uses images of the burning twin towers, and mug shots of all nineteen 9/11 hijackers.

"He added insult to injury when he shrouded the images with distorted claims about Sherrod's record," Ryan said. "Sherrod has a strong record fighting for body armor for our troops and calling for full funding for homeland security programs to secure our borders and keep our communities safe."

Brown has voted for $2.4 trillion in national security funding, voted for the death penalty for terrorists, and demanded answers about body armor, troop numbers, and weapons of mass destruction from President Bush before going to war in Iraq.

"Clearly Senator DeWine is trying to mask his serious vulnerabilities on this issue," Ryan said. "He sat on the Intelligence Committee and reviewed the faulty intelligence that sent us to war in Iraq and did nothing to question the president. He voted time and again to cut homeland security funding – including voting just yesterday against funding for Ohio's fire fighters. He desperately wants to mislead Ohio voters to hide the truth. But it won't work this time. 2006 is about change."

2. So this is okay with them, but the DCCC ad is not?

Hypocrites

[wryter2000]

3. Exactly

The wimps at the DCCC have taken their ad down. Do you suppose DeWine will take his down?

Damn, spinelss dems piss me off. :mad:

[LittleClarkie]

9. Meh. It was seen and reported on. It did it's job.

I'm not that concerned. It's not like they can undo it now.

Now if they apologize, that'll be a different matter.

[calimary]

14. Me, too. The DCCC should pull its ad when dewine pulls his.

And NOT before. :grr:

4. What Took So Long

And this is surprising, why?

What else does the doofus have to run on.

The only question is, when will the Bin Laden tape come out endorsing Brown.

6. Probably in October..........right before the elections

They are going to stay in power no matter what they have to do. With the Democrats being so spineless,repukes will win. I don't have any hope left.

[OzarkDem]

7. Brown isn't spineless, far from it

There's no problem getting him to fight back - he's itching for a fight.

[buff2]

8. Oh I'm not saying Brown is spineless

I'm saying that a lot of the Dems are. Look at the two who INSISTED that ad be taken down....I wonder if they bitched about all the ads the repukes use about the war,the troops and anything else they want to use for their own advantage? NO.......HELL NO. It's a double standard,always has been,always will be.

10. That ad was shown this morning in the Greater Cleveland area.

I caught it in the middle. It lists Sherrod Brown as voting against Homeland Security and against the death penalty for terrorists. It ends with two strongly negative statements. I have been waiting to see it again to get the exact wording but so far it hasn't been repeated that I've seen.

I feel the ad should be pulled and hope it will be.

Dewine has always looked retarded to me and he has reproduced at least eight times. He has not used good judgement in that regard.

I am ashamed that he is my Ohio Senator.

12. They won't pull it unless we demand it

We need to target all the networks and cable stations running the ad.

11. Considering that the Republicans failed to defend America on 9-11

They have no business lecturing anyone on national defense and national security.

The Republiklan party doees the Dead Jospeh McCarthy proud.

13. Dem's better get used to it...and expose and fling it right back at them!!

The closer to the election, the worse it's going to get, the neocons are desperate...

BEING RIGHT IS NOT ENOUGH - WHAT PROGRESSIVES CAN LEARN FROM CONSERVATIVES SUCCESS -By Paul Walden (Media Matters)

A great book on how Dem's are too nice and what to do and expect...Republicans have NO issues so they immediately smear distort and lie and attack the Dem's character, that's what sticks and the republicans are ruthless as the Dem's sit back, talk issues few remember and hope for the best...being civil doesn't win elections against these fascist.
