Republican television ad links Democratic to Communist party.

[Swede]

These guys are getting desperate.

new Republican television ad links Democratic congressional candidate Bruce Braley to the Communist Party and says he’s supported by “ultra liberals.”

The ad, which began running Friday, prompted the Braley campaign to label it a “joke.”

The ad says Braley was endorsed by the Council for a Livable World and was called a “peace candidate” by the Communist Party.

The council, the new ad says, advocates “huge defense cuts” and has a leader that once proposed negotiating with the Taliban.

It concludes by saying Braley’s support from “ultra liberals” shows he’s “out of touch” with Iowa.

Jeff Giertz, a Braley spokesman, did not dispute the ad’s accuracy but said it is “over the top.”

“It’s absolutely laughable,” he said, adding Braley hasn’t been endorsed by the Communist Party, nor is the ad claiming that.

He said the Waterloo Democrat wouldn’t accept such an endorsement, anyway. “Bruce’s views are independent of any organization or group,” he said.
