Never one to shy away from covering the worst of political advertising, Mr. Left sneaks a peak at the latest conservative 527 group's attack on Big John. In this one, the PFA Voting Fund (whoever that is) depicts Kerry as a wind surfing cartoon figure.

Apparently hoping to court 12 year olds to vote, the self-proclaimed ?Political Truth Squad,? has paid to have a cartoonish ad run with John Kerry on a windsurf board superimposed on a big wave. Among other accusations, the ad at one point reads that Kerry, "claims to be the 'Big Kahuna' on terror."

Check out the entire article. It's amusing on one level, and yet frightening that this type of advertising really does seem to impact viewers and move the poll numbers.
