The attacks of Sept. 11, 2001 have often been paraded out for political advertising -- even some seven years after the actual events. But the latest attack ad from the National Republican Congressional Campaign Committee takes the typical 9/11-attack ad one step further.

It displays the faces of eighteen 9/11 hijackers, along with Osama Bin Laden.

The ad attempts to pin the "terrorist supporter" lapel to Democrat Scott Murphy, who's running in a special election to replace the successor to Sen. Hillary Clinton, Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY). It highlights a radio interview in which Murphy said he wouldn't support the death penalty even for the perpetrators of the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks.

The Republicans' campaign committee continues to wholeheartedly endorse the ad.

“This is one of the few questions Scott Murphy has been willing to answer during this campaign, so he should be willing to explain how he came to such a dangerously out-of-touch position,” Paul Lindsay, an NRCC spokesman, told The Hill on Friday. “By opposing the death penalty for the terrorists who carried out the 9/11 attacks, it is abundantly clear that Murphy is unable or unwilling to empathize with the loss so many New York families faced on that tragic day.”

2. They still haven't learned their lesson

This attack didn't work in 2006 or in 2008.

Apparently the GOP has gone insane, doing the same thing and expecting different results.

4. That tactic is SOOO 2004.

I think their ace in the hole might be saying that Murphy helped fund the assassin of Archduke Franz Ferdinand.
