http://hosted.ap.org/dynamic/stories/D/DEMOCRATIC_AD_HISPANICS?SITE=FLPET&SECTION=HOME&TEMPLATE=DEFAULTWASHINGTON (AP) -- Democrats dropped an ad that Hispanics had criticized as unfairly depicting illegal immigrants as terrorists.
The ad had disappeared from the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee's Web site Thursday. A link that had led to the advertisement now leads to a different ad.
Democratic and Republican Hispanics had complained Wednesday about the ad. The 35-second ad questioned GOP homeland security and anti-terrorism policies. It featured images of Osama bin Laden and North Korea's Kim Jong Il and two people scaling a border fence and the words "Feel Safer?"

2. Somebody must have informed the idiots that it was racist and xenophobic. |

Surprisingly, one of the idiots must have paid attention and pulled it.
