This is "exposing" a Democrat:
How low will Amy Klobuchar stoop to raise money for her U.S. Senate campaign? Apparently low enough to use the tragic death of Tyesha Edwards, an 11-year-old girl who was killed in November 2002 by a stray bullet while doing her homework, in her latest fundraising plea.
This is from a recent email from Klobuchar's campaign:
"As the chief prosecutor for Minnesota's largest county (which includes nearly one-fourth of the state's population) it is my job to fight for those everyday heroes — the family whose daughter was killed by gang bullets as she sat at her kitchen table doing her homework..."
So talking about what you actually do as a prosecutor is objectionable. But this is perfectly
okay:
Vice President Cheney warned on Tuesday that if John F. Kerry is elected, "the danger is that we'll get hit again" by terrorists, as the Bush campaign escalated a furious assault on the Democratic presidential nominee that has kept Kerry from gaining control of the election debate.
Or how about weaving together pictures of Osama Bin Laden and Saddam Hussein in an attack
ad run against Patty Wetterling?
You can squint at Klobuchar's letter all day, peer at it like a magic eye puzzle, and you still won't find a single thing wrong with it.
