RNC: Liberals are Evil

By Byron LaMasters

First, Oklahoma GOP Senate candidate Tom Coburn cast his race as good vs. evil.

Then, the RNC sent mailers to Arkansas and West Virginia saying to vote Republican because liberals will ban the bible.

Now, they're hitting New Mexico and Florida with radio ads that mimic Coburn's good vs. evil rhetoric:

A Republican radio ad airing in swing states in this presidential election— including New Mexico— paints voters' choices as between good and the threat of evil.

"There is a line drawn in America today," the Republican National Committee ad says. "On one side are the radicals trying to uproot our traditional values and our culture."

In a bitterly fought presidential election, the ad minces no words in laying out the differences facing a polarized electorate, although it never mentions President Bush's re-election effort.

The ad alludes to gay marriage and accuses "radicals" of conspiring against the conservative agenda: "They're fighting to hijack the institution of marriage ... plotting to legalize partial birth abortion ... and working to take God out of the Pledge of Allegiance and force the worst of Hollywood on the rest of America."

"Are you on their side of the line?" the ad asks. "Or do you believe our values made our country great by keeping our families strong?"

The ad encourages listeners to register to vote and to support "conservative Republican candidates."
