This is a disgusting ad.  You don't exploit a tragedy in order to get elected. 

It's about the death of his brother, and Ogonowski's subsequent leadership in stepping up for his family and his country.  "Disgusting" is not a word that comes to mind for me here.

Is there similar outrage over Carolyn McCarthy?

Im pretty sure McCarthy didn't use her tragedy in ads. 

Carolyn McCarthy's entire candidacy was "her tragedy."

Were you even alive yet?  I'm curious how you're sure.

Carolyn McCarthy, using "her tragedy" to elect Mario Cuomo in 1994.

I just saw a Tsongas ad trying to paint Ogonowski as Bush-esque on Iraq.

Rather misleading (and ridiculous—"One vote can bring the troops home from Iraq—yours."), but it'd have to be to draw a serious distinction between the two candidates on the issue.
