DERBYSHIRE DEMOCRATS:
Hispanics scold Democrats for ad mixing illegals, terrorists (Charles Hurt, 8/17/06, THE WASHINGTON TIMES)
The Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee (DSCC) yesterday pulled an ad from its Web site after Hispanic groups accused Democrats of unfairly equating illegal aliens to terrorists.
"To liken Latino immigrants to bazooka-toting terrorists not only undermines the positive relationship our party has with this community, but it also lowers us to a despicable level as breeders of unfounded fear and hatred," Houston City Council member Carol Alvarado, a Democrat, said in a letter to Sen. Charles E. Schumer, the New York Democrat who heads the DSCC.
The 35-second ad, released on its Web site earlier this week, criticizes the Bush administration as leaving America unsecured by showing illegal aliens scaling a border fence. That scene is mixed with images of Osama bin Laden and North Korean President Kim Jong-il.

Odds are the ad played great for the focus groups on Ned Lamont's Gold Coast of southern Connecticut.

"No, no, you stupid putz Schumer. You are supposed to gin up the GOPers rounding up the illegals. Now tell me who's the Stupid Party?"
