The Romney Super PAC ad I'd make: Barack Obama killed Border Agent Brian Terry

A pro-Obama Super PAC is running what is quite possibly the most despicable political ad yet.

The man speaking in the ad, Joe Soptic, says, "Mitt Romney and Bain closed the plant, I lost my health care and my family lost their health care. And a short time after that my wife became ill." Soptic explains he's not exactly sure when his wife became sick, but that when he took her to the hospital she had undetected, advanced cancer and died 22 days later.

Mitt Romney left Bain Capital in 1999.

Soptic's employer declared bankruptcy in 2001. Who was running Bain Capital in 2001? A big Obama campaign bundler. Curiously Mr. Soptic doesn't mention that.

Mrs. Soptic died in 2006. Seven years after Bain Capital and Mitt Romney parted ways. But according to the Obamabots Mitt Romney personally set out to cause her death. Joe Soptic says so, and his dead wife gives him Absolute Moral Authority.

Except it's utter bullshit, and they know it.

Even CNN acknowledges that the ad is fundamentally dishonest, and they uncover an additional lie: Mrs. Soptic had a job, and health insurance, after her husband lost his at the steel mill. She left her job a year or two later after an injury.

Now my motto is, don't get mad, get even. And when it comes to direct involvement in an innocent person's death, I'll see your Ilyona Soptic and raise you Brian Terry.

Guns given to Mexican drug lords in the Fast And Furious scandal were directly linked to the murder of Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry.

Who authorized the Fast And Furious gun-walking operation? Attorney General Eric Holder.

Who hired the ATF clowns that gave the guns to known Mexican criminals? Eric Holder.

Who hired Eric Holder? President Obama.

Who is protecting Eric Holder from a congressional investigation into Agent Terry's murder? President Obama.

In another era we had a president who said, "The Buck Stops Here."

Now we have a president who says, "It's George Bush's fault."

Yeah, I'd definitely make an ad like that. And I don't want to hear word one about "fair."
