I wrote earlier that McCain did everything in his Albuquerque speech but call the Prophet Barack a liar. Scratch that. This ad goes there: And it’s not inaccurate; Obama has repeatedly lied about his positions on the Second Amendment, his……

Michelle Malkin talked to Justice Department spokeswoman Laura Sweeney today for a follow-up. She says the “inquiry is ongoing.” She couldn’t comment on any federal grand jury activity that might be taking place related to the case.

I wish they’d move this investigation along. I don’t understand how it can be taking so long, unless the kid is ratting out some other folks who put him up to it.

How do you really expect McCain to explain the truth squad garbage in a 30 second clip?!

I think it would be effective to have Governor Blunt explain it. Having someone in a position of authority/responsibility point out that this is unprecedented behavior would be effective imho. BTW has he initiated any kind of formal investigation?

I’d also run a version with a PUMA explaining how this sort of brown shirt behavior — which began in the primaries — is why s/he is afraid of an Obama presidency and voting for McCain.

Finally, what’s up with the email “hacker” case? That warrants an ad. It is not necessary to tie the hacking directly to Obama’s campaign — I think it’s sufficient to point out these are the tactics of his followers.

McCain is the fraud and the American people are smart enough and decent enough to see through McCain’s shenanigans.

Wow. Pure projection.

The reason for the attack ads is that it is clear that the American people have been mislead, and are unaware about how much of a fraud Obama is.

“Barack Obama claims to be a Constitutional Law professor, but he tries to use law enforcement to suppress your freedom of speech, and violate your First Amendment rights.”

(show picture of a frowning Obama) Big Brother is watching you.”

If you guys had been in charge of McCain’s campaign, by now he would have been branded as the biggest racist in history and be losing by 15 points.

This ad is great. It cuts through the media bullshit about McCain running a “dirty” campaign and shows voters exactly how much OBAMA has been running dirty, lying ads. All those ads have been running nonstop in PA, and the local media will not tell boters they are lies. So McCain has to. People here have had it with dirty lying politicians. Women voters and suburban voters and older voters do not like liars.

I’m buying ammo…

Any actual plans for improving America.

Like this?

Michelle Obama: You know, one of the things we can’t do in this country is operate from a place of fear. How are we going to reestablish our footing in the world and change conversations globally so that we … move to a different place in how we deal with issues of terrorism?

That we’re … instead of protecting ourselves against terrorists, that we’re building diplomatic relationships and we’re investing in education abroad so that we’re making sure that kids are learning how to read as opposed to … fight us.
We’ve spent eight years gearing ourselves up for a fight, and we haven’t been educating our kids. We don’t have universal health care. I think that’s going to be the debate that Barack has: How are we going to direct our energy? Are we going to gear up for a fight or are we going to work to heal our nation?

NUTZ!

Should have done a spot with the Missouri “Truth Squad”, the FCC threats from Obama’s lawyers to Pennsylvania TV stations, and one other similar issue. Three examples would spin a narrative that could end with something strong like, “No wonder we don’t know anything about him.”

The other stuff about “liar, liar, pants on fire” is incredibly weak. It was weak two weeks ago when it was Obama’s ad, and it’s weak this week when it’s McCain’s ad.

What we won’t hear? Any actual plans for improving America.

If you were paying attention, you already heard some… FREEZING SPENDING except defense and a couple of others. Cutting back government programs that aren’t performing up to par and eliminating those that aren’t performing at all. If they do nothing else except these things, that will be far more than enough.

Obama didn’t do anything wrong. McCain is ethically challenged.

barry norris on October 7, 2008 at 8:49 AM

Well now… the “Truth Squads” in St. Louis are a clear felony violation of the law. If you aren’t clear, this kind of voter intimidation is illegal.

McCain ethically challenged? Pardon me if I don’t take you at face value. What violation would that be?

Hypocrisy Doesn’t Begin To Describe It
Jennifer Rubin – 10.06.2008 – 10:56 PM
Ross Douthat writes:

Obama’s obfuscation regarding Ayers is, in a sense, the homage that vice pays to virtue – a tacit acknowledgment of the fact that the political culture of Chicago, and especially of Hyde Park, is more accommodating than perhaps it should be to a morally dubious figure like Ayers, and that having accommodated himself to those accommodations Obama now recognizes the need to behave as if he didn’t.

But this is true of Obama’s entire circle of comrades and associates, of course. He didn’t know who they were, or wasn’t all that close to them, or never happened to be there when their life-long habit of excoriating evil America was demonstrated. It is all of a piece.

But more than hypocrisy is at work here. It is not just far Left, American-hating radicals he now disowns. You get the sense that he believes everyone can be played. Rashid Khalidi can believe that Obama finds no one suffers more than the Palestinians. Jews can buy that he was moved by the Holocaust from a summer camp experience. Voters in his Congressional race in 1990 can be told that there is no difference ideologically between him and 100% ADA-rated Bobby Rush, but the rest of the state in 2004 (and eventually the country) can buy that he’s a post-partisan reformer. Terrorists come to believe he shares their scorn for America, but Iowa voters hear him talk about his appreciation that only in America could his story have happened. Primary voters in Ohio are coddled with protectionist promises – and then privately scorned while he is talking to San Fransciso liberal donors.

There is no end to it — everyone gets the version of Obama that perfectly fits his own world view. It is not hypocrisy. It’s fraud. Whatever he told or shared with Ayers, Dohrn, Wright, or Pfleger counts for no more that what he told or shared with other now inconvenient groups and individuals. He’s sold the same piece of political real estate to multiple buyers for multiple, conflicting uses.

But one thing has been consistent. He has never, ever attacked political corruption, whether in Chicago or Washington. To the contrary, at the Woods Fund, the Annenberg Challenge and the U.S. Senate he’s laddled out earmarks and goodies to a long list of friends and associates — Wright, Pfleger, Will County ( home of FBI target Larry Walsh), Allison S. Davis, ACORN, etc. The one consistency has been his fidelity to political supporters. Everyone else and every political position were disposable.

Now is precisely the time for firm convictions, strict ethical propriety and the firmness to turn away those who put private interests above the public good. We may be on the verge of electing a candidate who lacks any of these traits.

I like it.

Hope they show it all over the place, maybe even rent a satellite channel and play it on a loop.

Dorvillian on October 7, 2008 at 8:28 AM

LOL

I like the ad. It hits 4 points, all of which will have the Obama people spluttering.

And I do like the strong finish.

Do you have anything besides mouthing Democrat talking points?

Hawthorne on October 7, 2008 at 8:52 AM

Well, barry norris also attempted the “My IQ is higher than yours” attack. This is a Biden talking point, and I’ll bet $1,000.00 that my IQ – as a McCain supporter – is higher than his.

Put up, or shut up, barry norris.

NUTZ!

McCain is the fraud and the American people are smart enough and decent enough to see through McCain’s shenanigans.
barry norris on October 7, 2008 at 8:43 AM

Shenanigans? Like disqualifying your opponents to gain the Senate seat in Illinois?…Shenanigans? Like sending a “truth squad” out to squash the truth, and free speech? Shenanigans? Like trying to hide many years of your life in Chicago’s corrupt political scene? Shenanigans? Like hanging out with, working with, lauching your political career in the home of an unrepentant domesitc terrorist? Shenanigans? Like taking on “affordable housing” and being a slum lord but pocketing the money instead of providing the housing? Shall we talk more about OBAMA?

Give me a break moron!

And he is not doing this because of MSM pollsters, he’s doing this because its time to! It will be nice and fresh in the minds of voters….watch and learn idiot.

Something recently hit a nerve and that’s probably why we are experiencing this invasion of the maggot trolls.

rplat on October 7, 2008 at 8:56 AM

Good! Now we need to drive them so nuts that they go absolutely spasoid. Just keep hammering:

Obama’s past radical associations
Democrat contribution to Fannie/Freddie meltdown.
Obama strong arm tactics to stifle free speech.
Obama not understanding the military situation in Iraq/Afghanistan

Until he gives us more to work with those are pretty good things to work on.
