DNC Ad Shows U.S. Soldiers Being Blown Up
Outrage: DNC Ad Shows U.S. Soldiers Being Blown Up
The Democratic National Committee has sparked outrage among veterans and others across the internet by running an anti-John McCain ad that shows U.S. soldiers being blown up.
After the new ad’s voice-over castigated McCain for suggesting that the United States may stay in Iraq for “maybe 100” years, the footage becomes shocking.
The DNC ad then shows an explosive device detonating near two soldiers standing beside a palm tree. The two soldiers disappear in an explosive fireball. The video also shows images of burning vehicles.
The DNC ad
The footage appears similar to film taken by jihadists who videotape IED explosions that kill American combat troops. The jihadists place the video on the internet to tout their "kill Americans" campaign success. The Army estimates that more than 6,500 jihadist Web sites promote violence against America and American troops.
Many U.S. media outlets have refused to air excerpts from such videos for several reasons - including out of respect of the servicemen and women depicted in the videos.
The DNC apparently does not agree. Calls to the DNC for comment and for information about the footage went unreturned.
The Republican National Committee harshly criticized the ad, stating: “It is becoming clear that [DNC Chairman] Howard Dean and the Democratic National Committee will say and do anything to defeat John McCain.” The RNC demanded that the ad be stopped.
The McCain campaign and the RNC contend that the Democrats have been distorting McCain’s comment that the United States may remain in Iraq for "maybe 100” years. Such critics say McCain’s comments have been taken out of context.
The Associated Press reported that he actually went on to say:
“As long as Americans are not being injured or harmed or wounded or killed, it's fine with me, and I hope it would be fine with you, if we maintain a presence in a very volatile part of the world where al-Qaida is training, recruiting, equipping and motivating people every single day."
Republicans also allege that the DNC violates federal election law by coordinating its ad campaign with the Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton campaigns.
The RNC counsel has sent letters to the heads of NBC, CNN, and MSNBC demanding the ad be pulled.

Wild Thing's comment........
This is sickening! And a total outrage. Democrats can burn in hell!
Democrats have no idea just how good they have it in this wonderful country; and, they are clueless as to how desperately miserable THEY would be, if they ever reach their Marxist, collectivist "Utopian" goals.

This quote is from Ann Coulter's book........
"Americans cannot comprehend how their fellow countrymen could not love their country. But the left's anti-Americanism is intrinsic to their entire worldview. Liberals promote the right of Islamic fanatics for the same reason they promote the rights of adulterers, pornographers, abortionists, criminals, and Communists. They instinctively root for anarchy against civilization. The inevitable logic of the liberal position is to be for treason." -- Ann Coulter, P. 292 Treason
....Thank you Les for sending this to me.

Someone in the DNC is obviously a very mean person.
This type of shenanigan will NOT help the cause of the DNC and shame of them for allowing it to be used.
What a bunch of village idiots.

The run-up to the November election is going to be bloody. The DNC bunch are no brighter than the RNC bunch. Some of the tactics used in the campaign will be so viscious that I think a lot of Americans will decide to just not vote.

Paid for by the Democratic National Committee — 430 S. Capitol St. SE, Washington DC 20003.
This communication is not authorized by any candidate or candidate's committee
That tells us a lot Howie, this is in your corner.
May 7 and May 8, 1945 wasn't that the start of US occupation of Europe after a bloody victory? Seems that 63 years later they still have our troops, our aid and their knife in our backs. No I didn't forget the war that never ended, Korea, an armistice of July 27, 1953, left us with troops and support for the South since that time, that's 55 years of occupation after a bloody 4 years.
If occupation is the DNC's prime issue let's pull the troops out of.... all the theaters!!!!
But first I want all secret service protection pulled from around that cesspool along the Patomac as well as the one along the East River and from around the candidates. Our Rinos and the Democrats don't need any more protection than our allies do. I believe the Democrats call that equality.

Lynn is right, the DNC are idiots in search of a villiage.

Lynn, yes they sure are the "bunch of village idiots".

Tom, I agree, some of it is funny and even exciting too. But the other stuff is pure evil and mean and shocks me like the DNC ad. How anyone can stoop so low and do such a thing using our troops like that is something unforgivable.
Like you said it is going to get bloody.

Les thanks for the link to the image good one.
Yes they are all on the same page, I haven't heard one Democrat saying this is wrong. Not a word from Pelosi, Reid or any of the traitors.
