Nasty or Stupid (or both)?

Let the shitstorm commence! Another Republican attack ad:

And guess what? It’s as weak as the first. One question will do for the moment, I think; if Obama is such a dangerous Muslim, then why make such a fuss about his (Christian) pastor? He can’t be a fanatical liberation Christian and a closet fanatical Muslim at the same time.

Oh, and of course there’s the obvious question - why would having a Muslim childhood matter? It’s clear that it does to them, otherwise they’d have never hurled accusations of secret Jihadi childhood indoctrination at him in the first place. Obama rejected those slurs (and perhaps should have put to the nation the rather ridiculous image of Islamist ideologues renowned for their hatred of the United States priming a child…to run for president of the nation they hate so much…) rather than the notion that, at one point, he went to an Islamic school. So, a poor spot recycling old, old campaigning excrement.

Verdict: Must do better next time, vaunted Republican shit-stirrers. Or face relegation from “Nasty Party” to just plain old “Stupid Party”…
