Tancredo raises fear factor with new ad

[Roon]

Expert says terrorism images are so blatant commercial won't work

DES MOINES, Iowa - Rep. Tom Tancredo is taking the fear factor to an explosive new level in the Republican presidential contest.On Monday he unveiled a new television ad that shows a hooded man slip into a peaceful shopping mall, set down a black backpack - not far from where children are playing - and then, boom!

Interspersed with images of a bloody body and the destruction of recent terrorist attacks in London, Spain and Russia, it argues that this could be "the price we pay for spineless politicians who refuse to defend our border against those who come to kill."

But one Iowa political analyst called it such a "brute" appeal for fear that it's not likely to help Tancredo's long-shot campaign here in the nation's first presidential caucus state.

Tom Tancredo has got to be the most mentally unstable, or alternately the biggest shameless charlatan, who has ever run for the GOP nomination since Pat Robertson ran in 1988.
