What's being condemned here is not soft money ads and not negative
ads...and Bush is not being asked to condemn ads just because they are
negative or financed by partisan supporters.

What Bush is being asked to condemn is an ad which is demonstrably false
and obviously deliberately so. The fact that it came from a soft money
group is not relavant.

Got it?


An ad which is demonstrably false and obviously deliberately so would be
easily refuted and the group behind it discredited. Kerry is not even
attempting to do that. Why not?
