Do Republicans ever run “attack” ads against Democrats?

In 1988, Bush #41 tried to convince the American public that Willie Horton, a convicted felon, was a felon and shouldn't be released from prison. What the hell were they thinking?

I believe the Willie Horton ad was put out by a Democrat against Dukakis in the primary first. Bush was a Johnny come lately on the Willie Horton issue. But, then, Dukakis got in the tank and it was lights out for him.
