DNC Unveils New 'Shame on Jean Schmidt' Ads

Contact: Damien LaVera of the Democratic National Committee, 202-863-8148

WASHINGTON, Dec. 15 /U.S. Newswire/ -- The Democratic National Committee (DNC) today unveiled new advertisements aimed at holding Republican Congresswoman Jean Schmidt accountable for her attacks on Pennsylvania Congressman John Murtha, a decorated war veteran with 37 years of military service, during a Congressional debate on the Iraq War. The ads -- including a 10-by-20 foot mobile billboard, full-page ads in 10 newspapers throughout Schmidt's district, and online Web ads -- were unveiled this morning at a news conference at Blue Ash Bicentennial Veterans Memorial Park in Cincinnati.

As part of the DNC's effort to hold Schmidt accountable for her outrageous attack on Murtha, the DNC purchased the ads after Lamar Advertising refused to run billboards near Schmidt's district office in Portsmouth, Ohio.

"Today, thousands of people from all across the country sent politicians like Jean Schmidt a clear message," said DNC Spokesman Damien LaVera. "Americans are tired of the politics of hate and division. By supporting this effort to hold Jean Schmidt accountable for her outlandish, out of line attacks on Congressman Murtha, people all across America showed that any politician who attacks the brave men and women who served our country for political gain will pay a political price.

Shame on the mealy-mouthed 'pubbies who won't support Schmidt for giving Murtha the dressing-down he so richly deserved!

It's high time those milktoast morons grew a spine.

Now, I speak only for myself, but I really like the "politics of hate and division."

Thank God for Howard Dean. He truly is a colossal putz.

Another media constriction.

Jean Schmidt was quoting a Marine in Iraq - So I guess that the Dems are really saying is 'Shame on the Marine in Iraq'

I noticed the ad doesn't even repeat what she said. That's because the words weren't hers. She was relaying a message from a soldier in Iraq. That's what the media and dems keep conveniently overlooking. When people demanded an apology from her she should have said "I'll relay your demands to the soldier".

This is funny! This add will only draw attention to their own idiotic behavior the last several weeks. I can't believe they would be this stupid.

I thought I had read somewhere that the soldier deny's sending her that message...

By supporting this effort to hold Jean Schmidt accountable

This is not even sensible. The secret to BS'ing people is that you only lie as much as you need to.

Not *all* Marines are worthy of respect.Most are,but not all.

Several examples of the latter category:Lee Harvey Oswald,Scott Ritter,Murtha......
