So that has nothing to do with sympathizing with gangs, as the ad probably lied about.
Secondly the attempt to blend capital punishment and 9/11 was ham fisted. Ads that attack McCain for being a "Manchurian Candidate" make more sense that that idiotic ad you showed.

I'm with you, it is a horrible ad. They had actually just talked about it on Hardball and that is how I found out about it. I guess some conservative strategist is running it in NC and plans to use it in more states.
