A Democrat-affiliated group has turned the "let him die" incident during the CNN/Tea Party debate into an online ad campaign targeting eight Republican presidential candidates.

During the debate on Monday night, CNN’s Wolf Blitzer asked Congressman Ron Paul (R-TX) if society should just let a man die if he was in a coma and also did not have health care insurance.

The audience responded with shouts of "Yes!" and clapped in support of the idea.

The group Protect Your Care has made the incident into an online ad, available at www.LetHimDie.com, which will run on news sites in the early voting states Florida, Iowa and New Hampshire. The ad cycles through different candidate's names and asks people to sign a petition to get the Republican candidates to condemn the audience's reaction.

2. More like this, please

Keep the Republicans and their agenda out in front of people. Not the agenda the Republicans are selling when they're in decent company, with its feel-good mouthings about smaller government and lower taxes, but the true agenda that flows from that: You or someone you know dying alone in the street because the wealthy don't want to pay another three cents on the dollar in taxes on their annual "earnings" over $250,000. Who can blame the wealthy for that? But is it really up to the Republicans to do their dirty work for them?

to let Shiavo be taken off life support.
