I wonder whose remains are beneath the Flag in *'s ad?
Isn't that the really offensive part about *'s ad? That beneath the Flag are likely the remains of a firefighter or police officer who died when the Towers collapsed. That they are campaigning by holding aloft one of the dead and saying, "Vote for me."

Family members must look at that ad and say, "I wonder if that's my Tom?" or Joe, or Mary, or Luis that they are using in a political advertisement. What family member wouldn't be offended by that thought?

2. And what if Clinton had used OK City Bombing in 1996 election ads?
CONs would have been foaming at the mouth over it.

4. I wish some "star" journalist would ask them if they know who it is.
Or were they just looking for the best footage.
