Ash: “Forget about the HUMAN SHIELD !!”

by David Safier

When I referred to Bruce Ash as the political love child of Lee Atwater and Karl Rove in an earlier post, I also should have mentioned he's the blood brother of Dick Cheney.

Ash's motto: Never apologize! Always stay on the attack!

Ash wrote a new comment on BfA this morning. After his usual boilerplate political diatribe, he began his last paragraph with, "Forget about the HUMAN SHIELD !!" That, by the way, is his first and only response to my criticism of his vile and inappropriate imagery.

To recap:

In a mailer, Romero wrote,

"Regina Romero's new baby girl says WAAHHH to the recall effort."

In response, Ash wrote,

Hoping mom and her political allies will refrain in the future from using Ms Romero’s offspring as a political HUMAN SHIELD !!

evoking this image:

In response to Romero's statement, Ash wrote on Tedski's blog,

"Romero shows no class . . ."

and on my post, he called it,

"a cheap political move."

In defense of his own statement, Ash wrote simply,

"Forget about the HUMAN SHIELD !!"

I once again find Bruce Ash's priorities and sensibilities wildly skewed. And once again, I believe he owes Romero a public apology. If he doesn't agree with me, he should at least explain why he thinks the term, "HUMAN SHIELD !!" is a reasonable and justified response to Romero's mailer.
