They spend more time ragging on GWB than they do denouncing extreme Muslims.

I wonder why that is?

The guy in the ad doesn't even look distinctly arab. Even if he did I don't think he was meant to depict a terrorist... he could have just as easily been depicting somebody who was nervous and fearful of a terrorist attack.
Also, Zogby doesn't seem to care so much about racism when racists are killing jews in Israel.

A question:

Is the 'Arab American Institute' funded by Teresa Heinz Kerry, by the DNC, or by George Soros?

Every time another Bush ad comes out another group has to bitch and moan. Too bad! These ads are focus group tested and effective which is what has the left so upset. Also, by complaining about every ad they give the ads more airtime and exposure than they would ordinarily receive. Way to go liberals! Keep up the good work!!

Maybe Mr. Zogby should get back to paying attention to his pole.

" Some Internet critics have gone so far as to dub it the "Muhammad Horton" ad, alluding to the "Willie Horton" spot used against Democrat Michael Dukakis by Bush's father in the 1988 presidential campaign. Willie Horton, a black inmate, committed a rape and murder while furloughed from a Massachusetts prison when Dukakis was governor. "

So even the critics equate it to another ad based on truth.

I guess in idiot Liberal Land we're just as likely to be attacked by aged lesbian dwarves than, say, Arabs.

Sure! That's how it is. In idiot Liberal Land no one is allowed to surmise that anyone except whitey is at fault for anything.

It reminds me of an Italian-American group organized back in the ’50’s or ’60’s by a Mafia boss to counter “anti-Italian” news articles that claimed that only Italians were in the Mafia.
