DeWine Uses Smear Tactics to Mislead Ohio Voters
Ohio Republican incumbent Senator Mike DeWine reached a new low in negative campaigning today when he used images of the American tragedy of 9/11 to smear his opponent in the U. S. Senate campaign, Ohio Congressman Sherrod Brown.
It is not the first time DeWine has used underhanded distortions in a campaign. During his failed bid against American hero and astronaut Senator John Glenn an Ohio newspaper reported the DeWine campaign claiming, "…if Glenn had his way the Berlin Wall still would be standing and former Soviet republics still would be enslaved." [Columbus Dispatch, 10/27/92]
"Misleading voters and dirty campaigning is nothing new for Mike DeWine," said Brown Campaign Manager John Ryan. "But today, he reached a new, shameful, low. The ad uses images of the burning twin towers, and mug shots of all nineteen 9/11 hijackers.

Ahhh, the old burning towers shot. Karl needs to update his material.

I STILL think that Campain ads should be governed by liability laws!
If someone is selling a pill, or a car, or peanut butter, though they can be quite leading, they can not out right lie!

Why aren't political ads held to the same measure of liability for slander?
If it's a political ad, currently one is allowed to say absolutely anything they want!
