OK.. Let's get this straight
I don't give a shit about either Republicans, Democrats, Liberals, Communists or the Klu Klux Clan.
The fact that the subject matter of the news article was even written makes it clear there is a silly problem - DUH? If it not not worthy of note in international media - these pieces would not be published. It is preying on voters fears and is not exactly above swamp life level, especially considering the background and 9/11 incident.
It matters little which political persuasion elected to used these tactics - it's not about political persuasion - it's about crass, transparent and unethical advertising.
Sure... can see all that matters is now one side trashing the other. It is very rare any candidate deserves the trashing - there is often more substance behind a candidate than the desperate phiranna attacks to get votes. That bullshit does not assist a nation in any way and, only me, but would consider that it causes nothing but more damage and division. The "evidence" is regularly shown in comments on GFY - they really belong in the propaganda dept of the Third Reich
A nation matters more than a shoal of political parties thrashing around in the water desperately trying to gain votes and control - then, when in power, they supposed to *serve". Remember that word? It means carrying out the wishes of the electorate without fraud, lies, according to the laws and personal agenda's blah -
