Has anyone seen a story on the MSM about a Democratic dirty ad?

[hedgehog]

I've seen stories about Republican ads that were so dirty the television stations wouldn't even run them!To date, the only two Democratic ads I've heard about that anyone has objected to are Michael Fox's and the one replaying Jean Schmidt's speech attacking John Murtha. I wouldn't call either one of those a dirty ad!

1. Nope. It's pretty much a Republican thing. n/t

3. Does anyone remember ever seeing so many stories about

Republican attack ads?

Are there more attack ads around, or are is the MSM quicker to debunk them or both?

2. As Chris Matthews said last night Democrats have rose above

negative ad ,to their detriment.

4. They have tried to equate the Fox ad to "dirty" ads

They talk about hard hitting ads and attack Fox like he's producing something without merit or that he's being used. In their world the anti-Ford "Call me" ad is just partisan advocacy and Fox has tried to manipulate the public.

Don't usually cross-post, but that was my point in this:

The pundits make no attempt to address the underlying truth or message, only how much noise they can generate with their 'gotcha' rhetoric.

5. I think they're laughing themselves silly every time they run the

Michael Fox ad in the name of fairness. It's winning votes for the Democrats across the country every time it's run and the Republicans can't do a thing about it!
