Politico reports that while candidates have always attacked each other, distorted their opponents' records and taken their statements out of context... this year's "napalm-flavored" attack ads take it to a whole new level.
Some of this year's ads suggest that the politicians running for office aren't just untrustworthy or inexperienced, they are cruel and sick individuals.

I think this is a fair issue, and not a pruely partisan one. Both sides use this and I can name a few democrats who are clearly over the line (Grayson). Politicians use them ebcause they work. What should we do about it?
