GOP’s Ground Zero Ad Infuriates Democrats

From Times Wire Reports
Angry Democrats called for Ohio Republicans to pull a TV spot using images of the destroyed World Trade Center and New York City’s ground zero area in an ad against Ohio Democratic congressional candidate Tim Ryan, calling it “disrespectful” and “a new low.”
The political ad is believed to be the first in the country to use images of the destroyed towers, where nearly 3,000 people died in the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, in a negative political ad, Ryan said.
The ad complains about Ryan’s positions on homeland security.
