Hope vs. Fear

Hey, isn't tomorrow a big primary? IT must be time to unveil a controversial new attack ad, here's Hillary's last minute ad dump in Pennsylvania...



Some are flipping out over the fact that Osama Bin Laden appears briefly in the ad, that doesn't bother me in particular, he's just one moment of a stream of bedwetting imagery. This ad just bothers me on a more basic level—it's pure Rovian fear-mongering bullshit. This is a Republican ad and there is no pretending otherwise.

I seem to remember someone addressing this style of campaigning before...

This makes me want to curl up in a fetal position and cry, "What if it works?! What if it works?!"
