This is terrible. But what is even worse is that this is an ad for a Supreme Court candidate. Politicizing the bench is a really, really bad idea. And I think it is a bad idea to allow partisan endorsements for judges. However, it is now the reality and we have to deal with it.

But I do wonder, what self-respecting candidate for the PA Supreme Court would associate themselves with such over-the-top inflammatory rhetoric? It certainly isn't in keeping with the code of professional responsibility and professionalism that attorneys are supposed to be aspiring to.

The Democratic Party needs to start hitting back on this. Every time Republicans claim that Democrats are Communists, or other similar demagoguery. Democrats need to respond in kind (that is if its a flier, produce a flier and distribute it in the same region, if its a commercial put a responding commercial up for the same demographic targets, etc.)

The theme would be along the lines that Republicans like to call people names and lie about their opponents policies and political goals. We could respond by pointing out that Hitler believed in torturing his enemies or that Stalin believed in warrant-less wiretaps just like the Republicans are espousing. However, we Democrats believe that such demagoguery does nothing to actually fix the multiple crisis that the United States is currently facing.

Be it Healthcare Reform so that people can survive being sick without going bankrupt. Or working diligently to prevent Terrorists from striking us without sacrificing our Constitutional Rights. Or keeping the Federal Government from dictating to the American People what they can and can't do with their own bodies and lives.

Nothing screams "Gulags, Genocide, and the Great Purge" like a weee bit o' tinkering with Merca's healthcare system in an attempt to make if more affordable to the people with Ruskie sickle bumperstickers next to their trucknutz. Stay vigilant Patriots!

Obama the Marxist?...At first I'm thinkin', this is gittin' good, the crazier the better!

On second thought, the problem with all the kooky stuff is that it helps Republican politicians to look more reasonable and moderate by comparison. They need the fringe. It benefits them.

And to think what they did to the Dixie Chicks of their opinions.
Double standard group of folks

Good thing her name isn't Sotomayor. Now that would be offensive. `She's merely disparaging The POTUS, ridiculing all that she isn't & invoking all the fear she can get on a bumper sticker. That's nothing compared to being "Latin".
