From Chicagoray:

TVC Condemns TN Democrat For Distributing Flyer Belittling Special Olympics Kids: "Washington, DC, -- “Tennessee State Representative Craig Fitzhugh should be ashamed of himself for allowing his campaign office to distribute a flyer belittling Special Olympics children,” said Traditional Values Coalition Chairman Louis P. Sheldon, today. “This disgusting flyer is an insensitive attack against children with disabilities.”
"
Rep. Fitzhugh’s office, which is shared by the Kerry-Edwards campaign, has been distributing a flyer showing a Special Olympics child with President Bush’s face superimposed on the head of the disabled youngster. The headline reads: “Voting for Bush Is Like Running In The Special Olympics: Even If You Win, You’re Still Retarded.”

“This kind of mean-spirited material has no place in an election campaign,” said Rev. Sheldon. “In my 40 years of involvement in politics, I’ve never seen anything so despicable as this flyer. Rep. Fitzhugh should not only apologize to the disabled community and to his opponent Dave Dahl, he should fire whoever is responsible for distributing this ugly attack piece.” more

See the poster here

I know that this was in the 2004 elections, but this was the first time I saw this.

As an educator who works with handicapped children, I can only standt aghast at the mean-spiritedness and downright nastiness of a party who claims to be "compassionate" and "tolerant."

There is no excuse for this.

This is just another glaring example that the democrat party is far from the "compassionate" and "tolerant" souls that they claim to be.

That poster is from 2004. I believe we discussed it here back then.

Unfortunately, I wasn't here on this site back in 2004. I barely knew blogs existed back then ;-)

But nonetheless it is a good reminder of the disingenuousness of the left.

Eh... I have more of a problem with it's lack of originality than it's content...

Can't they come up with a less trite joke?

If you guys are now digging up stuff from 2004 you're even more desperate than I thought.

Looks like both sides will resort to anything to win. This is why most people are disgusted with both parties.
