the DNC does do stuff like this all the time.

-"If you elect a Republican, another black church is going to burn"

-"Missouri Republicans have a plan, you're not a part of it" (on a bill board showing a picture of a african-american family)

-That one commercial few years back with some cute little girl asking for more [insert toxic substance] in her drinking water (i forget the chemical).

i'm not sure how loud the howl is on these, but these are several examples of the dnc doing just that. i've heard very little condemnation of these ads from democrats so i can't help but chuckle a bit when a big deal is made of a GOP controversial ad. what a world.
