| Description | House Majority Leader John Boehner, R-West Chester, called on Democrats last week to pull a TV ad that shows images of flag-draped caskets of U.S. soldiers, calling the spot "outrageous."
"To use those images to rally Democrats and to raise money is, I think, appalling," said Boehner.
But the outrage from Republicans comes after Democrats complained in 2004 about a campaign ad from President Bush that showed firefighters carrying a flag-draped coffin from the ruins of the World Trade Center.
Questioned by reporters on what the difference was, Boehner seemed tongue-tied. |
