Beyond the pale...in my own state no less

I heard about this briefly on Phil Valentine's show on WTN-99.7 FM yesterday, but he didn't want to run it unless confirmed. In any case, here it is. Judge for yourself:

October 12, 2004 – Democrats in a race for a state House seat in District 82, are circulating a flyer that shows a retarded child with President Bush’s face running in a track race. The headline says: “Voting for Bush Is Like Running In The Special Olympics: Even If You Win, You’re Still Retarded.”

The flyer is being distributed by Democrat Craig Fitzhugh. His opponent, Dave Dahl has issued a call to Fitzhugh to stop distributing the flyer.

There's a scan of the flyer to, which I can't bear to post here. Having a family member who is disabled doesn't help my mood too much either.
