New RNC Ad: Don't Want Al Qaeda To Attack? Then vote GOP.

[RedEarth]

If you don't want Al Qaeda to attack us again, then vote Republican. That's the message in a lurid new web ad that the Republican National Committee has released today. The ad shows footage of terrorists training set to the ticking of a time bomb. After flashing quotes from Osama and other terrorists promising doom to America, the ad concludes: "These are the stakes. Vote November 7th." Most interesting bit: After the ad ends, it flashes a link to click if you want to "vote early" -- an obvious bid to harvest impulsive, fear-driven votes. (See third screen grab below.)
