    I love it when guilty parties take things personal that weren't intended for them.

    Then you missed my point. Ads at this point can create general impressions about politicians. The specific charges will be forgotten, but the general sense of who the candidate is remains.
    Even when alternative views are clearly wrong, being exposed to them still expands our creative potential. In a way, the power of dissent is the power of surprise. After hearing someone shout out an errant answer, we work to understand it, which causes us to reassess our initial assumptions and try out new perspectives. “Authentic dissent can be difficult, but it’s always invigorating,” Nemeth says.
