On the one hand, I see your point about not responding to the ads, because I agree with your basic premise. It was so *stupid* and in a way responding lets the morning news shows, etc., set the discussion agenda.
But on the other hand, since the talk agenda *is* set by others, I'd like to see some sort of response -- maybe a quick statement also incorporating your idea, saying succinctly just who the "protesters" were (a small liberal anti-war group, etc.) and then saying "We stand by the ads. Next question?" I was uncomfortable with the way the news cycle went on and on and on with something that was a non-issue, and wish there had been a way to turn the talk to something else more promptly...

This type of attack and "repsond/don't respond" will go on for months.
It gets the point the issue is ignored because Dems lose on the issues.
