As far as your analogy, it is a bit imperfect - do you think the family of a murder victim would object to a D.A. using a photo of the victim in an ad for the D.A.'s reelection campaign?

My analogy is imperfect, but pretty apt, and I certainly do think it fitting.

The American people are being presented the "case" for re-electing George W. Bush, in these ads. Part of the reason is what happened on that day, resulting in a huge number of deaths, which are discreetly referred to (I would not object to more graphic depictions).

Now, Kerry can present his case as to why this ought not be shown, but so far, the argument is completely underwhelming. And his entire case is anti-Bush, not pro-anything. And he is using these deaths in a much more exploitive way, as I argue this cadre of talking points minions out to denounce Bush are working for the dems. And we have in fact documented that they are.

You have not shown one reason as to why the images shown in the Bush piece are inappropriate. They are completely on point and I hope they double the air play as obviously the dark side is gnashing as a vampire shown a cross.
