[quote=takoma][quote=Anonymous][quote=takoma]OP here, as is no doubt obvious from the fact that I am not Anonymous.

I had a vicerally negative reaction to that ad because it grated on my superannuated eyes and ears as a noisy hash-up of video cuts having nothing to do with policy and demeaning the candidate in a way that I thought beneath an official campaign.  However, although the mark I saw on the video appeared to be that of the McConnell campaign, I was not sure, so I phrased it as a question.[/quote]In that case I'm not seeing an issue since both sides do it.

Tell you what, whenever I see you post something like this about a Democratic candidate ad then you'll show yourself to be equally disgusted with both sides, which would be the proper disposition to take. Otherwise, anybody can pick sides and point while ignoring their own, which is meaningless.

In my defense, I think I would, in fact, be just as disgusted if I saw something like this from a Democrat.  The fact that I have criticized several of Obama's policies, such as Gitmo, shows I'm not a total Dem mouthpiece.  But I admit that I may be less likely to see a Democratic version of the Lundergan Grimes ad, since I tend to look at more liberally inclined websites.  For my edification, perhaps one of our posters could give an example of a similar ad from Harry Reid, or some other prominent Dem.  Until then, I confess that I take the "both sides do it" defense as a knee-jerk attempt at even-handedness between two sides which, in my opinion, are not equally malicious (which is not to say that there are no sleazy Dems).
