"A controversial 30-second TV spot for Kerry that aired throughout the Midwest Monday blamed the country's ills not on Bush's policies, but on the 'sheer stupidity' of America's voters. " 'In the past four years, America's national debt has reached an all-time high,' the ad's narrator said. 'And who's responsible? You are. You're sitting there eating a big bowl of Fritos, watching TV, and getting fatter as the country goes to hell. You ought to be ashamed of yourself.' "

This reminds me of Al Goldstein, creator of Screw mag, who used to have (does he still?) a hilarious show on Manhattan Cable called "Midnight Blue." He'd sit in a chair and rant into a lone camera about all manner of things. Once, when it seemed that he was being pushed off the air due to "Blue's" lurid content, he blamed "Jewish intellectuals" who were out to get him, then he launched into his viewers: "Are you gonna be a Good Jew and walk into the ovens? For once in your fucking life, get off your fat ass and do something!"
