Controversyβ€»

On Friday, October 29, 2004, the Parke campaign aired a radio ad which portrayed Sanders as being on friendly terms with pornographers, pedophiles, illegal immigrations and "terrorists." The ad was pulled the same day that it first aired. Parke was criticized for his actions by, both the state chairman of the Vermont Republican Party, James Barnett and Vermont Lieutenant Governor Brian Dubie, as well as by other Vermont Republicans.

Parke had earlier blamed Sanders for the September 11, 2001, World Trade Center attacks based on Sanders's prior vote to cut the intelligence budget.
