Concur. To pick an emotionally hot-button topic and accuse the other guy of being against something that one simply cannot be against, is vile. The whole point of such ads is to force away debate on the issue. If the other guy then raises a question about how the issue is being handled, em is certainly a deeply misguided person, and probably anti-American, or worse. The ad's aim is to prevent any discussion on a topic, which by its nature is important, and should be open to debate.
Such ads are unfair and are themselves misguided.
I should admit. I haven't been following the thread. You were talking about the Democrat's ads that accuse Republicans of hating children because they question whether the Department of Education fulfills any legitimate or valuable role, right?
