WE’LL BE WATCHING TO SEE WHAT FACTCHECK.ORG HAS TO SAY ABOUT THIS AD…..

FACTCHECK.ORG is reputed to be a non-partisan analyst of political advertising.
.
.
Let’s see what they do with THIS EXAMPLE OF THE GENRE
.
.

That charter member of the “vast right-wing conspiracy”, ATLANTIC MAGAZINE, reports that 77% of the Dem ads are “negative”, compared with 56% of the Repub ads.
.

Using a Spanish-language video to paint McCain as a hateful bigot to the Hispanic community is really plumbing the depths of campaign slime, doesn’t it seem?

They had to work pretty hard at it, too….I listened to the broadcast from which they took the Rush quotes. Those quotes came from a bit he did on “Rush’s Rules” of immigration. It was largely tongue-in-cheek (typical Rush), and every single one of the “rules” was actually part of ACTUAL Mexican immigration law. He was pointing out the irony of folks from Mexico coming to the U.S. illegally, and then demanding to be treated FAR better than their own country would treat them had they entered *IT* illegally.

Sheesh!
