ALL BECOMES CLEAR:
Flier Blasted on Drawing of Jewish Opponent (THE ASSOCIATED PRESS, 6/09/06)
Senate candidate James H. Webb, President Reagan's former Navy secretary, was criticized by his Jewish opponent Friday over a campaign flier that depicted the opponent with a hooked nose and cash spilling from his pockets.The flier was intended for distribution among labor groups. It was titled ''Miller the Job Killer,'' referring to Webb's opponent for the Democratic nomination in Tuesday's primary, businessman Harris Miller.
The flier, drawn in comic-book cartoon style, depicts Miller with a grotesquely hooked nose and cash overflowing from his suit pockets as he orders an underling to find ways to export U.S. jobs overseas. The flier refers to Miller as the ''anti-Christ of outsourcing.''
Scratch an unexpected opponent of the war, find someone who thinks we're fighting it for Israel. Posted by Orrin Judd at June 9, 2006 5:18 PM
Students of propaganda, mark the artful inclusion of Reagan's name in the lead paragraph. It isn't till further in the article that it becomes clear that the two are rivals within the same party and that Webb is a former Republican turned Democrat.
