Washington Post: From Bush, Unprecedented Negativity

Scholars Say Campaign Is Making History With Often-Misleading Attacks.

Read it here (registration required).

In a nutshell:

"Scholars and political strategists say the ferocious Bush assault on Kerry this spring has been extraordinary, both for the volume of attacks and for the liberties the president and his campaign have taken with the facts. Though stretching the truth is hardly new in a political campaign, they say the volume of negative charges is unprecedented -- both in speeches and in advertising."

BTW, FactCheck.org is a terrific, non-partisan resource for following up on claims made in these sorts of negative ads.
