Goose and Gander

The new ads by the local Democratic Machine raise some interesting questions. These ads are being classified as attack ads by many observers not affiliated with the Dems. However, Peterson's campaign has gone to great length to declare that these are not attack ads. Witness the following quote which appeared in this morning's Indy Star.

"It's not a negative ad," said Michael O'Connor, Peterson's campaign manager. "We don't attack character. There's nothing in the ad that isn't a direct quote from the Star endorsement."

Since the Peterson Campaign believes so strongly in the gospel according to Ryerson, one must assume that they are quite happy with the Star's endorsement of a Republican controlled City-County Council.

I feel sick to my stomach.

Anyone that would take the Red Star as gospel needs to have his or her head examined. Afterall, the part that they are using to quote Ballard is from the OPINION page... aka not news, just an OPINION.

Opinions are like a$$holes... everyone has one and they all stink!
