Oct. 2, 2006 issue - In a darkened edit room in downtown Dallas, admaker Scott Howell is tinkering with his latest political firebomb. The ad starts with illegal immigrants running across the border. It then cuts to images of Osama bin Laden and Zacarias Moussaoui. Finally comes the real target of Howell's attack: Harold Ford Jr., the Democrat locked in a close race for the Senate seat in Tennessee. Over an edgy hip-hop soundtrack, the ad castigates Ford for voting against border security and the Patriot Act. "No wonder Harold Ford has been rated the most liberal congressman from Tennessee," the narrator intones. The ad ends with the word "liberal" pulsing on the screen as a shadowy figure walks down a long hallway.

Why the obsession with Karl Rove?

Why is he referred to as the "Architect"?

Rove's dirty political ads and backstabbing as he did to McCain in the Carolinas is bothersome to me. McCain and wife had adopted a couple of orphans from India (or Pakistan, etc.) and Rove printed out several thousand fliers that said that McCain had children by a black lover. Of course this totally screwed McCain in the Carolinas. Just one example amongst 100s.

I do not believe I could ever be mad at someone for screwing over John McCain.

Are you a fan of playing the race card against someone and playing on racist tendencies to win a race?

 

[therealUT]

Not at all, I just can't stand John McCain.
