The Alabama Democratic Party is running a television ad that criticizes the background of Bill Johnson, a campaign aide to Gov. Bob Riley and a former member of Riley's Cabinet who once went 14 years without paying federal income taxes.
Johnson said Friday the ad does not accurately reflect his views or his past.
The ad targets Johnson's 1994 stand supporting legalization of marijuana and prostitution when he was a Libertarian candidate for the U.S. Senate in Missouri, as well as the unpaid taxes and a trip he took to Afghanistan as a 21-year-old college student in 1980.
The ad shows a picture of a person wearing Arab dress, with cloths covering his face, carrying a grenade launcher. It includes a picture of Johnson and another photo showing someone apparently toking on a marijuana cigarette.
