I agree that negative campaigning works and helps define the differences in policies. Negative ads that call one a big tax and spender or tries to link one to the failed policies of their party are to be expected. I think what bothers many about the attacks against Obama is the attempt to paint him as some kind of anti-American with ties to terrorists which cause some people to consider him an enemy of the state. With the hate being displayed at some of the Republican rallys I am beginning to fear for his life. People get real excited when they think the next president might be a Muslim who "pals around with terrorists". The Republicans must know that Obama's race and name make it easy for some of their more fervent followers to go off the deep end and is probably why some are asking for them to not fan the flames of hate.
