WASHINGTON (AP) -- John Allen Muhammad, accused in the sniper killings, has made his political debut. His image is appearing in a gun control commercial that an underdog Democrat hopes to ride to victory in New Jersey.

"Scott Garrett shouldn't be blamed for the sniper," says a commercial that Anne Sumers' campaign has begun airing in a district in the northern part of the state. "But Garrett's positions are the problem."

Typical Brady bunch tactic.
They're all lower than snake s**t!

No surprise that the 'Rats would resort to this. I think it's amusing that the Democrats are putting a picture of a black murderer in an ad. Kind of an ironic twist on the old Willie Horton controversy.

The gun was apparently stolen from a gun shop and sold illegally to Muhammed. The only people kept unarmed by that stupid law were law abiding citizens. Criminals don't need no steenking background checks, just cash.

Interesting how the Dem's always try to capitalize on personal tragedy, Wellstone, the Sniper. These people are sick.

Sniper Rifle Possibly Stolen

I'm surprised they have a picture of the sniper and not just the gun.

So, is Garrett going to do anything besides whine about how unfair it is?

Love it!

Muhammad has not been convicted. How can you tie him to this ad. He is not a public person like a politician. - Tom

That's the first thing I thought too.....Willie Horton.

Apparently, yes - Garrett should be creaming this Anne chick on the gun issue.

Yet another RINO with no testicles goes down in flames.

Yes, he is going to get a gun and shoot Sumer and anyone else who gets in his way just to make a point. He is a white law and order kinda guy.

Wadda ya think he is going to do, hit-and-run lefty?

Don't forget that Algore was the first one to use Willie Horton in a campaign (in the primary against Dukakis).
