Just when you think the right can't stoop any lower, they keep surprising you. Karl Rove is out with an ad linking Massachusetts Senate candidate Elizabeth Warren with … Che Guevara.
Over footage of an out-of-control protest, including a Che T-shirt, an announcer intones that Warren sides with protesters who "attack police, do drugs, and trash public parks." Warren is quoted-out of context, of course-as saying that she "created much of the intellectual foundation for what they do."
Poor Rove. He has gone from arguing that Warren is too much of a pointy-headed intellectual for Massachusetts to branding her as a dangerous radical. Thankfully, Warren has a whole year in which to introduce herself to voters personally. This theme is unlikely to work any better than the last one-but it will energize Warren's own troops.
