New Democratic ad: Why did Norm Coleman send this couple’s son to die in Iraq?

(Hot Air) - Via Ace, who’s holding his breath for a sequel to Olbermann’s very stern lecture about using the dead for political leverage. We’ve gotten dozens of e-mails over the past week pointing us to the “Dear Mr. Obama” video on YouTube in which a wounded vet calls out The One for his Iraq policies; I didn’t post it because I thought it was a weak tactic, a hawkish version of Cindy Sheehan trying to rebut a policy argument with guilt over her suffering. But evidently this is a game the left wants to play, so you’ll kindly find that video embedded below. Exit question: The Democrats must feel pretty sure that Obama’s bluffing about extending the war in Afghanistan if they’re willing to set a precedent like this, huh?
