"Voting for Bush is Like...."

Democrats in Self-Destruct Mode CCCLXXXVI

I have been conflicted for a couple of hours about whether to blog this disgusting, despicable, and unconscionable flyer. I apologize for offending your sensibilities, Faithful Reader: I can hardly bear to look at it myself.

As James Taranto says, "If He Were Republican, This Would Be Hate Speech". The flyer, though, has been coming out of the Ripley, Tennessee, headquarters of one Craig Fitzhugh, a Democrat running for re-election to the state House of Representatives.

I'll add this: if the perpetrator were Republican, the Bush-Cheney campaign itself would be asked to condemn this kind of mean-spirited rhetoric. Democrats, though, get a pass; after all, as everybody knows, it's the Democrats who are kind and caring, so they get to do whatever mean & rotten things they want to do.

Okay. Maybe it wouldn't be fair to hold the Democratic National Committee or the Kerry-Edwards Campaign to account for the actions of a state-level Democratic creep.

Oh.... Wait....

It's reported that Fitzhugh's office in Ripley "also serves as the Kerry-Edwards headquarters".

Here it is.
