[DuaneBidoux]

A new Republican television ad links Democratic congressional candidate Bruce Braley to the Communist Party and says he’s supported by “ultra liberals.”

The usual McCarthy like tactics of the Rethuglican party.

1. That's pretty lame and desperate...

...isn't it?:eyes:

2. His opponent was a Nazi camp guard and a Stasi spy....

and raped nuns in Bolivia while practicing cannibalism.

4. !

:spank: LOL! :rofl:

[Robbien]

3. The GOPers still believe the liberal label is a bad thing

They don't believe that there are so many of us who proudly wave the liberal progressive flag.

5. It's played constantly

I live where the ad is shown. They'll show it several times during a one-hour show. It really is over-the-top disgusting.

6. Whoever developed that ad must be over 70 -

who worries about the communist party anymore.

7. I would rather be

linked to the communist party than the pedophile party anyday!!!!

8. The communists tried to charge me for their newspaper at the WCW rally.

What a gyp!

9. Wow, that comments thread under the article, just wow....

Like a 1960s John Birch Society meeting.

If this is the best they can throw at Braley (along with the "But he's a liberal trial lawyer!" cries), Braley has little to fear. Very little appeal to anyone but the most strident right wingers.

[skooooo]

10. Isn't the "commies" threat a little old by now?

No one under 40 hardly remembers anything about the cold war. I think that whole meme is pretty antiquated.
