After having seen, over the past two years, the depths that the mainstream Dem voices have delved in strident, personal, degrading, insulting crap, it is indeed humorous to hear them now complain when Bush says "some are attacking me for attacking terrorism". It is so blatently, outrageously, straight-facedly hypocritical as to be funny.
You can call Bush a lying, self-enriching, kid-hating drunk moron, but he can't question your characterization of his choice of strategy and tactics for fighting terrorism?
Fairness and impartiality do not encompass acknowledgment of idiocy and personal vileness as merely another voice of reason with merely a different bent.

You're acting like you're shocked - shocked, I tell you - at some name-calling by Dems, as if this sprang purely from the left without warning or any basis in fact. The right's inability to take what they dish out is just as funny. I'll remind you of the right-wing reaction to the Clinton presidency and liberalism over the last decade. Hypocrisy isn't one-sided.
As for the ad, as Tyrone points out, you can't miss the qualitative difference between calling Bush a lying, self-enriching, kid-hating drunk moron, and labeling those who do so traitors.
