I like them. Getting people to hate the enemy creates mistrust and distrust in the system and makes revolutionary change more possible. People called each other horrible names on the eve of the civil war and during the civil rights movement and it led to revolutionary change.
You have to get people mad for change.
We're not going to build your socialist utopia with negative campaign adds.

RW, I'm getting worried about you bro. I think you are trolling sure, but if you repeat the same nonsense again and again you might start believing it. Maybe a new hobby is called for. I hear cross stitch or knitting can be very relaxing.
As for political attack ads, they won't go away no matter how much we'd all love to be free of them. They've been part of the political arsenal for a very long time, just changing up a bit over the years to match the new medias, and our Founding Fathers used attack campaigns that would make modern political ads seem like a polite disagreement about what type of rose grows best in a given climate.
As much as they suck we are stuck with them. Now they are online too boot. Personally I prefer positive ads that sell me on what the candidate can do to make my life better. But, as loathe as I am to admit it, attack ads can be very effective if used right.
