THE DNC'S UNAMERICAN NOMINEES COMMITTEE

FLASH CARTOON: Bushenstein (DNC: Supreme Court Watch)

No one can at this late date object to the politicization of judicial nominations, but this ad is unusual--and arguably despicable--both in its joking implication that conservatives are monsters (one would think they might be a tad more sensitive at least where Clarence Thomas is concerned) and in its less jesting statement that their values aren't "American". Of course, hate-mongering may be all the Democrats have left. A party reduced to this is in dire straits. Posted by Orrin Judd at June 16, 2003 7:49 PM
