Attack Ads about Attack Ads!

I am absolutely incensed by the latest throng of Conservative ads against Iggy.

Watch the one on the bottom right

This is an attack ad about attack ads. What is next, an ad about why third party advertising limits shouldn't be limited because of the unfair limitation on the freedom of speech?

"Harper, hates freedom. Except when he litigated against finance limits, only to reverse them later."

Ok- I have calmed down a bit - this website is hosted in MONTENEGRO. As in "Not Canada."

If you go to this website, you are "just visiting."

More to the point - I could make the EXACT same add about Stephen Harper - except I would insert the word "Alberta" - and say you weren't here for NEP. You weren't here to fight against the Charter. You weren't here for stagflation - you just moved here to become Prime Minister.

It would actually work in Alberta, and everyone else would realize that I was making fun of Albertans and their wacky social policy preferences. The joke would be on them.

Or, I could make an add that said "Stephen Harper wasn't in Ottawa to vote against these great initiatives" and then list the accomplishments from 1997-2002 - and while building up the great liberal record, make fun of them for what he would have voted against. Like CEPA, for example.

Doesn't anyone care that they voted against a lot of really important stuff? And striped the funding away from a bunch of other really important stuff?

"Conservative Government in Ottawa - Just Visiting"

I can't wait.
