Columbus Dispatch Calls Latest Stivers Ad 'Ludicrous and Red-baiting'

http://www.dispatchpolitics.com/live/content/local_news/stories/2010/10/22/copy/stiversadwatch-gssaaose-1.html?adsec=politics&sid=101


Video: The ad opens with an image of the ubiquitous "Putting America to Work" orange construction sign. The script appears, "Congresswoman
Kilroy CLAIMS to create jobs." The orange sign is then juxtaposed against an image of the Great Wall of China and the words change to "Putting China to Work."

The sign reverts to its original design and the Great Wall disappears. The caption is, "Congresswoman Kilroy VOTED FOR the failed stimulus." The sign then is juxtaposed
against an image of Tiananmen Square in Beijing, with the sign changing back to "Putting China to Work." The ad then shows Chinese currency being printed and the
words "Congresswoman Kilroy VOTED FOR record spending and government growth."

A headshot of Kilroy then is sandwiched between images of the Chinese and U.S. flags with the words, "WHOSE SIDE is Kilroy on? Growing jobs in China. Growing debt in America."

snip

Analysis: This ad suggests, based on thin evidence, that the economic-stimulus bill supported by Kilroy and most congressional Democrats benefited China more than the U.S.
While it's debatable whether the unprecedented infusion of federal spending helped the economy overall - and indisputable that it created massive debt - the notion that it was
crafted to benefit China is ludicrous.

However, the ad resorts to red-baiting in fixating on China exclusively. It's true that China is the largest holder of U.S. Treasury debt, but by no means is it a majority. It barely
eclipses Japan. Companies in Spain, Britain and other countries also stand to gain from spending on renewable-energy projects. The ad exploits fears of China and questions
Kilroy's loyalty to the United States by showing images of Chairman Mao and Kilroy's image against the U.S. and Chinese flags.

1. DNCC is doing the *same thing* to Toomey in PA
Edited on Sun Oct-24-10 09:25 AM by JackintheGreen
Can't find a link to the ad, but the tag line is "Maybe Toomey *should* be senator...in China."

I thought it was hysterical the first time I saw it, even though it references comments and votes made upwards of 10 years ago. It was kind of dirty, a little misrepresentative, but I thought "finally the Dems are playing the repub game.)

I cannot get too bent out of shape over this.

2. Why don't they just cut to the chase and claim all Democrats are really Klingons in disguise?
