A fundraising appeal posted on former Congressman J.D. Hayworth's Hayworth's campaign website today was the latest salvo in the increasingly contentious Republican Senate primary battle in Arizona between Hayworth and Senator John McCain.
The ad, which also appeared as the lead banner on the Drudge Report, depicts McCain in blue warpaint, in an apparent nod to Oscar-nominated film "Avatar."
Adjacent to the photo, McCain is mocked as "Nominee for Best Conservative Actor." Hayworth, running from McCain's right, has condemned the longtime senator as a "Republican in Name Only."

Very good and funny mail ad. From the squeeling, it sounds like it hit the target.
Yup!
I am outraged!
McCain isn’t remotely good at faking at being a conservative. Terribly transparent acting job.
Its amazing a guy who could manage only a weak chuckle at Obama’s insultingly backhanded dismissal in front of the entire nation at the phoney “health care summit” could only a week later be so mightily offended at an easily defensible campaign ad.
Nothing is more deadly to the campaign of a 72 year old man than a campaign staff who isn’t aware of the biggest money making movie of all time that is up for 9 academy awards in a few days.

This could be the beginning of a very bad spring for John McCain.
Mike Golic of ESPN tells this great story about going to a Phoenix Coyotes hockey game where John and Cindy McCain and family were sitting in the row in front of him. Not recognizing the Senator, he turned to Cindy and asked “So, do the kids enjoy coming to the games with their grandpa?”
Bet you McQueeg got a case of the purple shakes over that one!
McCain’s a reliable conservative 6 months out of every 6 years.
Adding a sombrero to the add might have helped... Avatarero ?
I really liked J.D. Hayworth, having said that, I think he needs to run a classy campaign as opposed to the typical democratic slam-fest. Scott Brown won without giving in to sleazy tactics, that made him even better (in my eyes). No matter how I feel about John Mccain, he is a war hero and he has made sacrifices for our country and our freedom abouve and beyond. He is due respect, he has earned it.
Grrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
McCain only gets mad when Repubs take a swipe at him.
Sort of reminds you of Democrats doesn’t it.
It appears as though the recent antics of Cindy and Meghan have got the old man in a foul and cranky mood. I don’t blame him. LOL!
LOL, I live in a madhouse.
Juan, that nice young fella that gave you the finger during the campaign, inferentially called Governor Palin a “pig” to crowd snickers, and who last week in front of cameras called you “John” and lectured you about campaigning-
that, Juan, is an outrageous insult, my friend
Oh no, now he's lost the Gibson vote too.
You should hear his attack ads on JD. He is not worthy of protection from any kind of ad, I say loose the dogs on him.
