Fears grow over US Republican 'attack ads' 14 May 08

Barack Obama's bid for the US Democratic presidential nomination has been marred by the controversy over remarks made by his fomer pastor, Jeremiah Wright.

And now that relationship is being used by the Republicans in a strategy Democrats say is racially tinged.
 
We sent Max Blumenthal, a writer for the progressive magazine, The Nation, to the southern state of Mississippi. 

He asks if attack ads used in a congressional election there could be a sign of things to come.

Republicans need to stop using FEAR tactics against us. There is nothing to fear here people! Don't fall for that BS... Bush is just spreading his hatred and fear-mongering ways into the GOP. Please don't fall for what they're about to do the next few months. Us Americans are smarter than that!!

the world would be such a better place if there was no such thing as republicans and the taliban and the like.

America should do itself a favor and completely eradicate the republican party. Make it a curiosity in museums and give it a brief mention in history books. The sooner the better.

As a Canadian I think all you middle to lower wage Americans should hold your horses till Obama raises the taxes on the wealthiest citizens... Because holy hell your economy runs on how much tax evasion big businesses can pull and how much the government can milk you folk making under 50$ an hour for blood sweat and tears.
