This has to be the most disgusting attack ad i have ever seen, the same people who cried about Sarah Palin and the death panels have now created an ad of Paul Ryan actually throwing a struggling old lady off a cliff, in order to attack Jane Corwin.
Via the Weekly Standard, weâve joked about this sort of liberal messaging before but I honestly didnât think weâd see it. Surely, after years and years of leftist whinging about âthe politics of fear,â they wouldnât resort to imagery of Republicans actually killing frail old ladies.
And yet here we are.
Philip Klein, whoâs more in touch with economic reality than the authors of this spot, wonders when weâll see an ad showing granny pushing kids off a cliff as an homage to the unsustainability of Boomer-heavy Medicare rolls. Would that ad be accurate, though? Young adults are famously pro-Obama; theyâre inviting their own fleecing by supporting the guardian of an outdated, fiscally ruinous entitlement system. An ad thatâs truer to life would have them tossing money at granny and then diving headfirst off the cliff voluntarily.
