Let me preface this by saying that I know that Democrats are not the only ones that participate in attack ads and mud slinging. I for one can say that if a candidate uses attack ads in their campaign, it usually steers me clear of that candidate. That being said, where do Democrats get off this year? I am currently thinking of two examples.
The first is the DNC's ad saying that the GOP has been receiving foreign money from the Chamber of Commerce.
That is a pretty serious accusation! Now if someone was walking around telling everyone that you broke the law, wouldn't you want them to either prove it or shut up? Well David Axelrod was confronted on this issue by Bob Schieffer on CBS about this accusation because The New York Times looked into the accusation and had concluded it was false. What is Axelrod's response to the question of what evidence he is basing his accusation on? See for yourself.
Yes you heard him right. When asked to backup his claim he instead says we must prove that his claim is false. So with the DNC they can make baseless accusations and people are guilty until proven innocent. I guess I shouldn't be surprised that the Democrats once again are doing the opposite of what is moral, decent, and spelled out clearly in the Constitution.
Second example comes from Alan Grayson. I'll just let you watch the ad first.
Holy crap! He is saying his opponent is a Taliban and that he wants women to submit to him. They even have him saying so in his own words! Daniel Webster is a terrible person right? Wait for it. Let's listen to the entire quote from Daniel Webster.
So the quote in context is Daniel Webster saying THE OPPOSITE of what he was quoted as saying in the attack ad. He says, "DON'T submit to me," but is quoted as, "...submit to me..." He says when interpreting verses from the bible don't pick the verses that say, "wives submit to your husbands" but instead pick ones that say, "cherish and love your wife even as Christ loved the church." What a terrible guy huh?
I've got a verse for Alan Grayson and the rest of you Democrats. "Thou shalt not bear false testimony against thy neighbor." Exodus 20:16
