Other than overstating the relationship between Ayers and Obama somewhat,nothing in that mailer is untrue. What's the big deal.

Here's my response to the mailer. If I hadn't thrown the mailer away I would have sent it back "Return to sender". But I did send this message by email to the Missouri Republican State Committee.
Missouri Republican State Committee,

Thanks for the mailer on William Ayers - It motivated me.

I just sent a donation to Barack Obama in response to your negative campaigning and propagandizing.

I am sincerely not a McCain basher. He has many good qualities. Being associated with the Republican Party of Missouri is not one of McCain’s better qualities.

I am sad to see McCarthyism alive and well in Missouri. You are poor representatives of a proud state.

signed:
As much as I hate pissing money away on politics, I followed through on the donation.

Notice at the bottom how they have tried to make Obama appear "darker".

Before this year, I have never really considered myself a democrat. I think I will now vote all democrat.

I've come to just look at the campaigns as advertising campaigns, and I think that's a pretty well-crafted piece (purely from the design angle). The darker Obama is part of that. I like the paper clip usage- paper clips have become big in the last year or so. Most importantly, I think they do a really effective job of tying domestic terrorism to Cubs fans.

As for the content, I think it's pretty freakin' awful. But it's nothing new, really.... maybe it speaks to social progress that instead of having a black man (Willie Horton) being used to slander a white presidential candidate (Michael Dukakis), the roles have been reversed.

It is absolutely untrue, and extremely dangerous.

I actually think that's a Cuba jersey. probably from the WBC. Hell, I'd wear a Cuba jersey before I'd wear a Cub's.
