Asymmetric

Low class: Adjective.

1. Effective political attack.
2. True.

Detestable: Adjective.

1. A statement or line of political attack which the speaker regrets not having thought of first.

Sen. Barack Obama ripped into a Republican ad today that targets comments made by his wife, Michelle, and called the GOP tactic "low class" and "detestable."

Here.

Synonyms:

1. Mean spirited.
2. Malicious.

As a reference see any defense of Democratic ideas or statements by Howard Dean.

"But I do want to say this to the GOP. If they think that they're going to try to make Michelle an issue in this campaign, they should be careful. Because that I find unacceptable," he said.

Here.

Two points:

1. The last time Obama complained about context, he didn't come out looking so good.

2. I'm sympathetic with a man wanting to protect his wife- that's his job. If, however, Obama uses his wife as a campaign asset and has her make speeches on his behalf, he should expect some scrutiny.
