He is a hero because he is one person doing what highly paid consultants have failed to do so far. I won't have a problem even if guerilla campaign using essential truths were used against my favorite Gore or Clark.
The South Park episode on Gore was much more juvenile and offbase and unfair, yet I still like South PArk and we need voices like that to keep people honest even if they disagree with us sometimes. So my support for this kind of a spirit has nothing to do with my distaste for Hillary though I do agree with the essence of the ad.
The guy has accomplished something that you or I ahve been unable to do so far in politics. He gets my respect.
