NRA ad employs images of plane crashing into WTC, soldiers’ graves

September 29th, 2008

So there’s some to-do about Obama trying to get ads off the air by the NRA because of distortions of his record or some other legal issue, but I hadn’t seen anyone complain about the imagery involved in these ads.  I just saw an ad, Veteran, that includes images of the plane hitting the second World Trade Center tower as well as a soldier standing over fellow soldiers’ graves, who I presume don’t neccesarily approve of this message.  Here are the two images with the voiceover accompanying them in the ad:

On the front lines, I knew I served a real purpose: defeating terrorism

The freedoms that I fought for--that my friends died to defend
