Politics: Wolves at the Door

In an increasingly dangerous world, even after the first terrorist attack on America, John Kerry and the liberals in Congress voted to slash America's intelligence operations. By $6 billion. Cuts so deep, they would have weakened America's defenses. And weakness attracts those who are waiting to do America harm.
That's text from the new Bush ad, which is causing one hell of a stir, comparing wolves in the forest to terrorists in John Kerry's forest.

Fred Kaplan over at Slate tears the ad apart in his article: When Is a Cut Not a Cut? And when I say tears the ad apart, I mean he decimates every iota of falsehood in the damn thing. Also, Dick Cheney's favorite website tears the thing apart as well.

Also, the wolves aren't very happy about this. Check out Wolfpacks for Truth.

"Alpha Frank is worried about getting cancer from air
pollution" Awwwwwww! I'd have a hard time symbolically equating wolves with terrorists, probably because the first thought that comes to mind when I see a wolf is: PUPPY! But that site is awesome.
