DCCC Uses Dead Soldiers In Political Web Video

Shameful.

Contact the DCCC and let them know how you feel about them raising money using images of dead soldiers...

UPDATE: Ankle Biting Pundits blogs..

UPDATE: Rep. Hensarling issues a statement:

WASHINGTON, D.C. - Congressman Jeb Hensarling (TX-05) today asked that Rep. Rahm Emanuel, Chairman of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC), apologize to American military families for using images of the caskets of U.S. soldiers killed waging the War on Terror in a Democratic fundraising video.

"The families of the fallen heroes of the War on Terror deserve our utmost respect and compassion," said Hensarling. "They do not deserve to see the deaths of loved ones exploited by Rep. Emanuel and the DCCC."

"As former executive director of the National Republican Senatorial Committee, I have seen the Democrats employ a lot of low-brow political tactics over the years, but Rep. Emanuel has sunk to a new low with this video," Hensarling said. Using images of flag-draped coffins of American heroes in this sort of video is shameless and disgusting, and I ask that Rep. Emanuel apologize to military families for any pain that he has caused."

And they were the ones that were making a big deal about the President using the flag draped coffins at Ground Zero.

I haven't forgotten!

You have started the ball rolling my friend.

I have archived a copy of that video so that we have it after it disappears from their site.

Thanks Matt!

This reminds me of the old Johnson add against Goldwater, just not quite as explosive, but just as exploitive.
