You know an ad is offensive when members of your own party call for it to be removed. The DCCC removed the ad with the flag draped coffins from their website after complaints from both sides of the aisle...
"On Thursday, more than a dozen Republicans, many with military backgrounds, called on DCCC Chairman Rahm Emanuel, D-Ill., to apologize. Democratic Reps. John Spratt of South Carolina and Chet Edwards of Texas asked Emanuel to pull or alter the ad."
Instead of admitting they crossed the boundaries of decency, the DCCC came up with this excuse...
"We're moving to another major effort that we're highlighting on our Web site," DCCC spokesman Bill Burton said."
The latest issue that the DCCC is highlighting is a BIG one and so much more important than any plan for national security...
"The campaign committee replaced the ad with a radio commercial that targets Rep. John Hostetler, R-Ind., for opposing an increase in the minimum wage. Democrats have made a minimum wage increase a central theme of this year's election."
Yeah - that'll really pull them into the polling places...
