Political Advertising in Ohio

We’ve all had that feeling of a wave of nausea passing through us when we encounter something truly horrendous.

That’s what I experienced just now when I read a post from a friend who lives in Cleveland, Ohio, a state that is a must-win for the Republicans in their race for control of the U.S. Senate.  He happened to be watching the news with his nine-year-old daughter, when the young lady announced, “I don’t like (Democratic incumbent) Sherrod Brown.  He makes little kids get sex changes.”

This is where we are, folks.  Libelous political advertising that most adults recognize to be completely asinine, but which hits hard against voters with the maturity of nine-year-olds.
