Currently airing in Pennsylvania and coming soon to a swing state near you. They’re all worth watching but here’s the one that should get the most attention. I eagerly await the media’s decoding of these very conservative, very anti-Obama, and therefore per se very racist spots.
Exit question: Does Joe Biden approve this message?

lorien1973 on September 22, 2008 at 4:25 PM
How awesome is the scary screech noise when they show obama in gritty black and white?
this. ad. is. awesome.
Vincenzo on September 22, 2008 at 4:26 PM
That man has blue eyes and blond hair; why is he so racist against Barack Alinsky?
carbon_footprint on September 22, 2008 at 4:28 PM
Oh, that was gooooooood.
AubieJon on September 22, 2008 at 4:29 PM
Awesome awesomeness.
rockmom on September 22, 2008 at 4:29 PM
Well, these ads should make Michael Dukakis wet his pants more than he already has.
Slublog on September 22, 2008 at 4:30 PM
Racist…I don’t know why, it just seems like is should be said…racists, racists, all of the racists.
Scary black man with grainy picture…racist, racist
White man with gun, racist, racist
White church, racist,racist.
After awhile you can really type racist fast…racist racist raticis raidtis…bigot, bigot
right2bright on September 22, 2008 at 4:31 PM
They showed a black man in that ad. Racism. /sarc
Sue on September 22, 2008 at 4:31 PM
That ad is a distraction.
Martin on September 22, 2008 at 4:31 PM
Looked at it again…the only black item in the ad…….a black dog…racist, racist, raciasto.
right2bright on September 22, 2008 at 4:32 PM
Obama is pictured in black and white. That’s raaccciisssst!
(Not to mention contrasting him with white people who live in white houses and go to white churches. I suppose picturing black people with guns would be racist, as it would have Willie Horton or gangsta overtones)
Can’t say anything about Obama and guns. Or you’re racist.
Wethal on September 22, 2008 at 4:32 PM
Great ad! Run it EVERYWHERE.
capitalist piglet on September 22, 2008 at 4:33 PM
Good ad, I’ll watch for it in Michigan.
Too bad that flag hanging on the church is hanging wrong…isn’t the blue field supposed to be on the top left corner? Other than that, it would be perfect!
ConMom on September 22, 2008 at 4:33 PM
Hell’s ya!
Need more of those..
And the Obama baby killer ones, too…
And the Obama raise yo taxes ones..
Chakra Hammer on September 22, 2008 at 4:33 PM
As much as I find that funny about Dukakis, I sure would like it to make run pee down the leg of the DNC pollster instead.
SkinnerVic on September 22, 2008 at 4:33 PM
Well, maybe Obama will run an ad of Joe Biden hunting with his Beretta (what does one hunt with a Beretta, anyway?)
Wethal on September 22, 2008 at 4:34 PM
Great,
but they should remove the house picture with the flag union in the upper right.
tomg51 on September 22, 2008 at 4:35 PM
He used the words “cling”, monkey cling to trees, cling to vines…code word for monkey…racist, racisit, raicite
right2bright on September 22, 2008 at 4:35 PM
I love it when an ad makes my leg tingle …
More please.

Would love to see this with BO’s voice over “clinging to their guns and religion”..
But this is good.

My 9mm loved it.
darwin on September 22, 2008 at 4:37 PM
The obligatory, these ads are not good for Mrs. Virgin Baby Momma’s children!
Where are the 527’s on our side? Has anyone noticed they seem to be MIA?
freeus on September 22, 2008 at 4:37 PM
AWESOME! This should be a big hit in PA

right2bright on September 22, 2008 at 4:38 PM
Obama And Biden Both Rated F by the NRA, Both Are gun grabbers!
Both DO NOT care about YOUR rights!

Wow, Allah, is that a Ruger in your pocket or are you just happy to post these vids?

Awesome. These will play well in rural America.

Interesting statistics from the Federal government…
1. Healthcare
(A) According to U.S. Department of Human Services, there are 700,000 physicians in the United States
(B) There are 120,000 accidental deaths caused by physicians per year
(C) The ratio of accidental deaths per physician is 0.171
2. Gun Ownership
(A) According to the FBI, there are 80,000,000 gun owners in the U.S. (yes… 80 million, many in “swing states.”)
(B) There are 1,500 accidental gun deaths per year
(C) The ratio of accidental deaths per gun owner is .0000188
3. Conclusion:
According to the government’s own statistics, you are 9,000 times more likely to be accidentially killed by your doctor, than by a gun owner.

The 2008 election was close – so close, in fact, that the process established by the Constitution was useless. The House and the Senate, inspired by a suggestion given by Gov. Palin, determined that the election would be settled by an ice-fishing contest between the presidential contenders scheduled for December on Lake Wobegone in Minnesota.
Each man would be given the privacy of an ice-fishing hut; the one who had caught the most fish in a three day period would be declared the winner.
At the end of day one, Mr. Cain returned to the shore with 10 fish. Mr. Obama had none.
At the end of the second day, Mr. Cain racked up 17 fish and Mr. Obama still had caught nothing but the sniffles.
That evening he was contacted by Harry Reid, who was convinced that McCain was somehow cheating. He instructed Obama to sneak over to McCain’s ice-fishing hut on the final day and peek inside to see what sort of shenanigans McCain was up to.
The following day Obama did as he was told. When he returned to his own hut, he called Harry Reid on his cell phone.
“Well?” asked Reid, “How is he cheating?”
“The man has no shame – none at all,” Obama stammered. “He’s cutting holes in the ice.”
ManlyRash on September 22, 2008 at 4:44 PM
I thought the PA countryside was already for McCain. I thought it was Philadelphia that was for Obama, and thus ought to have been the target of this ad. How much does hunting appeal to city dwellers vs the self defense angle?
AnotherOpinion on September 22, 2008 at 4:44 PM
And the greatest ad ever goes to…
Gunhaver on September 22, 2008 at 4:45 PM
Run it in NC and VA. We in NC were raised with a pride for the 2nd ammendment.

They showed Obama in Black and white… Black and white, GET IT!?
raaaaacccist!

“You don’t have to be bitter to know that Obama isn’t the change we need.” Heh, these are some heavy-hitting ads.
Spirit of 1776 on September 22, 2008 at 4:46 PM
Oh, Olaf you beat me to it… (must.read.entire.thread.before posting… ugh)
max1 on September 22, 2008 at 4:47 PM
This racism isn’t helping Michelle Obama’s children.
malan89 on September 22, 2008 at 4:47 PM
If Americans want to explode gun ownership, they might actually want to elect Obama.
Cause the first thing I’m going to do if Obama gets elected, is to purchase a handgun and a rifle.
I’ve never owned a gun, but there is no way I’m leaving things up to chance should this clownbag get elected and gets to appoint a lunatic cabinet of his choosing.
It’ll be harder for them to take all of them away and you know how things get lost during moves, etc.
NoDonkey on September 22, 2008 at 4:47 PM
Speaking of Barry’s picture…did you see the one of him in the NRA magazines last month? It is fantastic. Wish I could find it on the net and that Hot Air would use it.
Dingbat63 on September 22, 2008 at 4:47 PM
White, working class city dwellers sometimes do like to go hunting in the country. And they like to keep a handgun in the house to protect themselves. Which in Philadelphia, they need to do.
Wethal on September 22, 2008 at 4:48 PM
You’re right.
They should do an ad showing a bunch of gangbangers cheering for Ubama and flashing their guns…pissed off about Mccain allowing citizens to have weapons to defend themselves with..
SaintOlaf on September 22, 2008 at 4:48 PM
Clearly very, very racist.
This guy was a rural white male. Obviously they caught him on one of those rare occaisions that he did not have a white hood over his head.
Because we all know about those rednecks…. Don’t we?
gridlock2 on September 22, 2008 at 4:48 PM
Super Ad! Let’s see more of those. GO NRA!
JimK on September 22, 2008 at 4:48 PM
Cockatoo. **rimshot**
Kafir on September 22, 2008 at 4:49 PM
I just signed up for a 3 yr membership to the NRA, and this ad certainly makes it worth it.
oh yeah, it’s definitely racists too. no doubt about it.
neal7 on September 22, 2008 at 4:49 PM
Really? The liberal Northeast transplants in South Charlotte and the Triangle were raised with “pride for the 2nd amendment”?
malan89 on September 22, 2008 at 4:49 PM
BO’s gonna have to pull that Baretta from Biden’s cold dead fingers…
d1carter on September 22, 2008 at 4:50 PM
This guy was awesome on Sunday at the Ryder Cup! The reporter asked him if he would rather be hunting instead of whoopin’ up on the Europeans.
Leopold Stotch on September 22, 2008 at 4:51 PM
SNNNNERRRK!! I applaud you good sir!

Grue in the Attic on September 22, 2008 at 4:51 PM
Joe Biden buys Berettas (or so he claims). Beretta are Italian. I wonder how the “Buy American! RAH RAH RAH!” unions he’s so tight with feel about that.
malan89 on September 22, 2008 at 4:51 PM
Was “Butters” taken or something?
malan89 on September 22, 2008 at 4:51 PM
Here’s the link to Barry’s picture in the NRA Mag…I love it.

second look at NRA?

According to the Dhems, I’m a raaaaacccist for even watching the vid.
Smack down from Bambi in 3…2…1…
Over.
1GooDDaDDy on September 22, 2008 at 4:54 PM
That’s cute.
In 2005 there were 30,694 gun deaths in the US, according to the CDC. That’s about 20 times the number you are quoting. Your joke still works with the real number, so you might as well not make one up.
factoid on September 22, 2008 at 4:54 PM
You know, that was probably exactly the kind of “redneck” the professors out here were bad-mouthing the other day.
Count to 10 on September 22, 2008 at 4:55 PM
The soft on crime angle I like especially for the Urban city dweller.
Of course this will make liberal howl racism but the more they cry about it the better it is actually and BO campaign knows.
Why do you think he stayed away from the Jenna thing and never had Al or Jesse pop up on stage with him.
I would try to bait BO campaign into claiming racism.
Dog won’t hunt
kangjie on September 22, 2008 at 4:55 PM
The delightful dilemma is that Obama has to be careful criticizing gun owners, as he’s already had to back off his “bitterly clinging to guns and God” remark, since that lost him voters to Hillary. And he slipped up once saying he didn’t have the votes [yet] to ban guns.
Wethal on September 22, 2008 at 4:55 PM
We need more camouflage in this ad!!!! haaaaa
Great stuff.
Sugar Land on September 22, 2008 at 4:56 PM
All 4 ads are here

AP caption: Bitter.
I say: Clingy.
It’s like Political Password.
Karl on September 22, 2008 at 4:58 PM
I think VRWC was quoting an older year, as I’ve seen that quote many times before 2005. Likely just a typo on the year in the transfer somewhere.
*eats*
Grue in the Attic on September 22, 2008 at 4:58 PM
I think half of them was in Southern “Shytown”.

1GooDDaDDy on September 22, 2008 at 5:00 PM
Best line of the campaign yet.
CliffHanger on September 22, 2008 at 5:01 PM
I doubt that would explain a 20-fold difference… Anyway, like I said, it’s a good joke even with the actual 30,000 figure.
factoid on September 22, 2008 at 5:02 PM
The words on the screen were black! It’s racist coding!
Actually, I’m so sick and tired of being called a racist, even if I wasn’t already voting for McCain, I would now because I’m so sick of being unjustly accused.
Here’s my idea for an ad: Obama video: “Did I mention I’m black? I don’t look like the pres on those dollar bills” then show Obama doing the Hillary brush off, flipping her off, and calling Sarah Palin a pig. Then show John McCain: “Senator Obama, the only person that has mentioned race in this campaign is you. America is not racist, as is shown by your meteoric and historic rise. And quite frankly, the American people are being sick and tired of unjustly being accused of being racist, when they are not. They don’t want to vote for you because you want to take and squander $50 billion of their hard earned money on a global poverty program that will never help the poor. They don’t want to vote for you because you have never once voted to let them keep their own money. Also, the American people can add. They can add up how many times you voted present, how many times you voted to let babies die in closets, how many lies you’ve told on this campaign trail, and how many times you’ve snubbed America’s soldiers and first responders.
Senator Obama, race has nothing to do with it. As much as you want to have your face on the dollar bill, that design is already in place, and your face will not be replacing President Washington’s. The American people don’t like you, don’t trust you, and won’t vote vote for you based on your performance and personality alone. I’m John McCain and I approve this message.”
JustTruth101 on September 22, 2008 at 5:03 PM
I’m not sure if you are calling me a liberal transplant (which I am not) or you are living in an area populated by them. Either way, come take my gun.
Les in NC on September 22, 2008 at 5:04 PM
That man has blue eyes and blond hair; why is he so racist against Barack Alinsky?
carbon_footprint on September 22, 2008 at 4:28 PM

the gunowners wife in the commercial is HOTT. A+ NRA
custer on September 22, 2008 at 5:06 PM
Yup. When hanging vertically, the field of blue with the white stars is supposed to be in the upper left.
Excellent ad, except for the ‘let’s speed change the footage to a thousand percent about a dozen times in the spot’ effect.
wise_man on September 22, 2008 at 5:06 PM
The people in that ad are so not going to get into any good Manhattan cocktail parties now.

And that will resonate with the voters the NRA will be talking to.

I REALLY hope that plays EVERYWHERE!

Anyone see a post from Sven or Damiano lately? Are these guys MIA?
ManlyRash on September 22, 2008 at 5:08 PM
Okay folks. I’m going to “bite the bullet” and risk embarrassment by asking what *eats* stands for.
AubieJon on September 22, 2008 at 5:09 PM
If you haven’t done so yet,
PLEASE SEE ALL FOUR AT THE NRA SITE.
I thought the “Hunter” one had the money quote, “Where is this guy from?!”
But my favorite – one I hope could play all over the USA – is the “Veteran.”
AMAZING.

T J Green on September 22, 2008 at 5:10 PM
As a side note, I’m getting my very first firearm ever soon: a Beretta 92F. =D Might get the newer 90-Two if I can get a chance to try it out first.
The downside? I live in New York. Imagine living in New York under an Obama Presidency. I’ll be lucky if I can shoot a water pistol then.
Feel sorry for me all. =(
Lincoln on September 22, 2008 at 5:10 PM
At the 25 second mark in the video. White house with the American flag improperly displayed. Any good NRA member should have been able to catch this. Not that this invalidates the spot, it’s just not approved to display the American flag that way.
wise_man on September 22, 2008 at 5:11 PM
Google “grue.” The come back and apologize to him, lest you are mistaken for supper.

Biden made reference to a Beretta over/under shotgun. I guess we can sleep well at night knowing that while our handguns and semi-automatic or pump shotguns and rifles might be banned, our $3,000 double-barreled shotguns are safe.
