P>(FULL DISCLOSURE: Dave serves on the Board of Directors of TeamGOP and TeamGOP is supporting his candidacy) Dave Dahl condemned the outragious flyer that is included below. Craig Fitzhugh and the Democrats have gone beyond the scope of even their own hatred by accusing Bush voters of being less intelligent and in their words "retarded," but more importantly using mentally challenged kids as political fodder.
Dyersburg, TN- Today, Republican nominee for State House District 82, Dave Dahl, denounced a flyer distributed by Democrat State Representative Craig Fitzhugh that attacks Bush voters and mocks those who are mentally challenged (flyer included). “Hard-ball politics is one thing and everyone expects tough battles, but using those who are born with mental disabilities for political fodder is disgusting,” said Dave Dahl on Monday from his campaign office in Dyersburg.

Betcha the MSM doesn't report this.
Of course, if the Republicans did something like this Ban Blather would make it the lead on his show.
Only one problem.
The chairman of the special olympics is Timothy Shriver. (yes that Shriver family) I wouldn't expect more than a few token angry words from Shriver.
No, no, no, you don't understand. There are two sets of rules: one for the Democrats and one for the Republicans. Where have you been? (sarcasm off)
Just caught it today. As you can imagine, the parents of special needs children are an incredibly tight group. This is going out to all members of our local group, and I'm sure it will spread like wildfire. I am a huge Pub & Bush fan, but if a Republican did something like this I would raise holy hell about it.
It is not the first time the demwits have pulled this kind of stunt. 'Spotted Al' Gore called Republicans the "extra chromosome crowd". Bigotry and condescension seem to be rampant among the democrat leadership.
I saw that flyer and my jaw dropped. Can they get away with this?
Don't forget hypocrisy.
The flyer was distributed by TN Dem State Rep. Craig Fitzhugh's office according to the press release.

I agree. I would be just as outraged if a Republican did this. It is just offensive regardless of where it comes from. My husband (retired police detective), used to work with other officers in arranging carnivals and sports activities for special needs children in our county. He loved doing it, and would come home with many heart-warming stories of strength, determination, love, affection, and joy displayed by these children. They touched his heart. This cheap shot is not only directed at the President, but at all who have special needs and those that love them.
When Kerry was pontificating last night about America being divided, W should have brought this up along with the vandalism and violence aimed at Republican offices by Democrat supporters.
Stupid thing wasn't even funny when it first appered years ago on the web ( without President Bush's face ). What makes the moronic left think it's funny now?
