Via Muslimah Media Watch, here’s Rudy Giuliani’s recent video ad for Flordia:
Frightening, to say the least — and because people buy into this crap. Wired has a decent response to the video. I find the producer’s use juxtaposing images to create this effect fascinating — in particular, one image of a “militant” (I suppose?) who has his hand raised in a menacing way, which quickly fades to the image of a boy whose hand is in the same position. Even Muslim children are dangerous! They are “over there” raising a new generation of terrorists!
