...Republican, and I want us out of Iraq. But the ad crossed the line. Kinsley sits at a desk typing away while Petraeus leads people who take bullets for you and me. It's not trite; it's reality. Don't insult those standing in harm's way so we can debate in the comfort of our homes. Mark Carpenter, San Antonio...
...Sticks and Stones While it is true that the right has made political hay from MoveOn.org's ad asking if we should call General Petraeus " General Betray Us," it is also true that most Americans found the ad offensive [Oct. 1].

"Bobby Jindal threw my brother out on the street...
...ad put the Jindal campaign on the defensive for the first time in a race that a few months earlier seemed his for the taking. "It's the same charge - that Jindal doesn't really care about people," says Ed Renwick, a professor of political science at Loyola University in New Orleans . "The problem [in 2003] was, he never defended himself. Now, obviously, he's going to change that." Jindal has responded with ads of his own, attacking his opponents as part of the "corrupt crowd" - even though none of the other major candidates has been tainted by scandal...
