One thins members of the GOP love is taking advantage of disasters for political gain.
None knows this better than the Dewine campaign which had 9/11 videos doctored to appear different than the factual attacks.
Not only did they use the most horrific event in American history for political gain, they had the video doctored and goofed it up bigtime.
On the air in major Ohio markets since last Friday, the ad showed the towers, with the south building billowing smoke, which gradually drifts upward. In the video, the north tower, which was struck first on September 11, is undamaged.
"This particular image is impossible," says W. Gene Corley, a stuctural engineer who led the Federal Emergency Management Agency's building performance study of the World Trade Center after the attacks. Corley reviewed the ad at www.brownvotes.com for U.S. News. "The north tower was hit first, [so] the south tower could not be burning without the north tower burning." Corley says. "The smoke is all wrong." The day of the attacks, the plumes of ash were drifting to the southeast. "The smoke on 9/11 was never in a halo like that," he added.
Many people including myself believe these ads are shameful and very disrespectful towards all of those who died because of the 9/11 attacks..
The ad is "shameful," says Joanna Kuebler, Brown's campaign communication director. "Instead of being honest and engaged in discussion with voters and the media ... [DeWine's] exploiting an American tragedy, and now we find out that even that's a distortion."
This guy is a total scumbag for approving such images to be used in attack ads against his opponent.
These tactics really show how desperate the Republithugs to retain control of Congress and the lows they must stoop to thanks to a president that has made a utter failure of their party.
