Last month I blogged the connection between mob snuff man Donnie Shacks and Little John Edwards. This relationship is illustrated on a 'Web of Connections' piece on blogsforbush.com. Six degrees of separation? Hell, there are four different ways to connect Kerry to the mobster in only four steps, plus the more direct three-step link through Little John. More to the point, Kerry is directly linked to the two men who organized the ad submissions for the "Bush is Hitler" moveon.org ads. Worse still, the Kerry camp accuses current and former Bush/Cheney '04 volunteers and staffers of driving the Swift Vets efforts, but his campaign hired the "Bush is Hitler" guy after his ridiculous attack piece played out.
For the record, I'm with Fred Barnes on all this stuff: Let it all fly and let the voters decide.

At least soft money was tied to the campaign directly and probably had at least a little bit of a moderating effect on the messages produced. Now with the 527's it is a real free for all. Thankfully I have TiVo and a fast forward button.
