WASHINGTON (AP) - The text is white against a black screen. The sound is the electronic warbling of a video game. But in this political ad, the message is in the faceless voices of cheerful children engaged in mayhem.
"Hit the hooker with the tire iron!" "Steal the old lady's car." "Shoot her first!"
The ad accuses a Democratic candidate of voting against banning the sale of violent and sexually explicit video games to children. Another ad, in Connecticut, says a Democrat voted to permit convicted sex offenders in public housing. Yet another, in Arizona, linked a candidate's work as a lawyer for the American Civil Liberties Union to the ACLU's defense of a pedophile's group.
