GOP terrorism ad sparks Democratic furor

http://www.cnn.com/2006/POLITICS/10/20/gop.ad/index.html

This article is basically about how the Democrats feel that the Republicans are using Osama Bin Laden to strike fear into the voters to vote for the GOP in the election that is looming. Fear-mongering is sometimes a good ploy, albeit ridiculous when it comes to the informed voter, but I believe that it won't work this time.

It states from beginning in the article that the "Republicans took a page from President Johnson's Cold War-era presidential campaign with an advertisement set to air this weekend called "The Stakes," which prominently features al Qaeda leaders threatening to kill Americans."

I can only assume that since things are not looking great for the Republicans what the GOP are doing is basically saying that Bin Laden is in support of the Democrats which is ridiculous and is a desperate move. What do you all think?
