Memphis Man on the Street

The Republican National Committee has started running a new ad in the neck and neck Corker-Ford race:



Corker has condemned the ad and asked them to stop running it. What do you think about it?

From an entertainment point of view, I think it is great. Perhaps I'm biased by my support for Corker. But does it cross the line of unfair attacks on Congressman Harold Ford? What is the ethical standard for running ads? Does this cross the line?

Previously, Corker did run an ad about Ford which, while not lying, did omit some key facts about Ford's record on national security. Both parties engage in this type of "truth telling" to educate undecided voters. There's definitely a problem, but how do we reform it?
