Don’t see how this is all that different from using Willie Horton in a campaign ad.

But then I don’t know a thing about AK poliics.

You don't see the difference between using a murderer's name in an ad and using a murder victim's name in an ad?

Big difference. Governor Dukakis personally signed the Willie Horton's pass. He could have refused to sign it and Willie Horton would have been in prison instead of out on a weekend pass.

Yeah, just like with the Horton ad, Al Gore did it first, but they will blame it on the Republican.

Willie Horton was the SUBJECT of the ad in that case. Also, Al Gore a DMEOCRAT was the first to bring up Willie Horton.

In this case? The VICTIMS were the subjects of the ad.

Besides which? What side are you on?
