Lawmaker decries Kerry-bin Laden stickers

LOUISVILLE, Ky. -- A Republican lawmaker says it was inappropriate for a GOP office to display a bumper sticker declaring: "Kerry is bin Laden's Man. Bush is Mine."

 

Kentucky Rep. Anne Northup said she found out about the stickers over the weekend and doesn't want any more distributed. "What campaigns need to center on, debates need to center on and the party needs to focus on are ideas," she said.

 

Jefferson County GOP chairman Jack Richardson IV said the stickers were so popular that GOP headquarters ran out Friday. He won't distribute more, but is trying to locate their source for those who want them. "I believe in the question this bumper sticker raises," Richardson said.

 

Bill Garmer, chairman of the Kentucky Democratic Party, said the sticker equates a decorated Vietnam veteran with Osama bin Laden - "one of the greatest enemies of the United States."

 

"It goes way over the line," he said.

 

A spokesman for the Kerry campaign previously called on GOP lawmakers to condemn the sticker, saying it was a "hateful and mean-spirited smear campaign."

 

Nothing like a "Our #1 enemy endorses Kerry" campaign. Even if the more rational Republicans will condemn this crap. And this is more than a few submissions in a video contest for MoveOn. Unless Jefferson county (home of Louisville) is less significant than you'd think.

Don't try and act as if one is somehow worse than the other.

 

And don't act as if the BUSH = HITLER stuff was ONLY confined to the MoveOn.org contest.

 

Both are equally stupid.

True, however the right also ran ads of the Gore/Dean/Kennedy speeches while flashing images of Hitler speaking too.

 

Each and everyone one of the ads using this tactic is stupid, no matter which side is doing it.

I guess there's no difference between some person submitting an ad to a website and a GOP leader claiming the bumper sticker raises a question that he believes in.

 

Okay then.. *shrug*

Because hey, they were only endorsed by major celebrities and posted all across the internet. I mean, that has none of the coverage that the LOUISVILLE MEDIA BLITZ offers, right Robbie?

 

And right now we have Mikey Moore comparing Bush to the Anti-Christ, so I don't think the stupidity is even CLOSE this time.

It's basically the key to picking up the state's electoral votes out of hand. I think Louisville-Jefferson Co. is at least the population of half the state, but it's also fiercly divided right down the middle, literally. The western end of town is incredibly Dem and the east Rep. Yes, the west end is a lower income area, and the area that the last Governor's advisors were indicted for voter fraud.

 

Pretty fierce area, all in all.

How's about this one? Maybe it'll be less controversial.

And it's a different guy too.

 

Oooook Powerplay

I was kinda partial to the one that showed Kerry cheering on Michael Moore as he was criticizing Bush, only to be informed by one of his aides that it was actually Saddam.
