A Democratic political ad is under fire from Hispanics who say it unfairly compares Latino immigrants to terrorists.
The Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee sponsored a 35-second ad on its Web site that shows footage of two people scaling a border fence mixed with images of Osama Bin Laden and North Korea President Kim Jong Il.
Houston City Councilwom, , ) of New York asking that the ad be pulled. She said it could alienate Latino voters.
The ad opens with the words "Security Under Bush and GOP?" It features scenes of a masked man with a bazooka, scenes from terrorist attacks and police inspecting a subway train. It also shows Osama bin Laden , Iran President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and a docked ship as it claims "4 times as many terrorist attacks in 2005."
The ad ends with the words, "Feel safer? Vote for change."

4 times as many terrorist attacks as what? How many terrorist attacks did we have here in the US in 2005?
fuzzy math to say the least.
But I'll give them credit on atleast appearing concerned about the pressing issues of the day.
4 times as many as we had the year before.
4 times zero equals zero.
Looks to me as if the Dems got one right for a change.
What an outrage! Everyone knows that Latinos can't climb.
The dems are using the CONSERVATIVE messages as their own and FR is complaining about the content?
The content is 100% correct as far as the terrorist link with the ILLEGAL alien crossers. We should be applauding them ....
... except that the dems have no care nor intention of ever doing anything about what may affect their slave plantations.
To turn this ad AGAINST the liberals, we should be praising their enlightment and applauding their realization that "YES - THEY ARE ILLEGALS AND TERRORISTS"! and they need to follow more of the conservative ideas.
The best illegal alien issue campaign ads:

Yep! Let's see how they backtrack on this one. That's a big block of voters they offended.Dems are such...idiots.
Ya mean not counting the shooting of the Israeli woemon or the SUV rampage at the University?
How is that different from the RINOs in the Senate? Not that I actually trust the Democrats to do better, since they could have supported the House version if they meant what their ads said.
How is that different from the RINOs in the Senate?
Not at all.
That is why you will not hear a peep from the RNC praising the democrats for finally realizing the threat.
What's it going to take to wake everyone up that the Dems are directly involved in conducting and abetting worldwide terrorism?
They are the modern version of the old "fifth column" spewing America Hate at every turn and turning every American citizen against our government and our leaders.
The link is completely in your head.
