Video: The Wright Stuff

Politico’s Ben Smith reports that at least one PAC will go after Jeremiah Wright and his ties to Barack Obama, even if John McCain keeps it off limits to his own campaign. The National Republican Trust PAC will run this 30-second spot in battleground states Pennsylvania, Ohio, and Florida:
The ad raises two questions. First, is Wright fair game? The McCain campaign has sent mixed signals on this, but Barack Obama himself acknowledged that voters legitimately can consider his long association with the radical preacher as a political question. This ad doesn’t appear to step over any lines, but it hits hard, playing the most inflammatory Wright quotes in the public domain. It then notes that Obama didn’t find any of it objectionable enough to rouse him to action … until Wright became a political liability.
The second question will be harder to answer: will this be effective? It may have been before Wall Street melted down, but now voters are looking for pragmatism and specific answers. McCain may have made a mistake by leaving Wright off the radar earlier in the campaign, but he has better targets now in the final week. The NPR audio from 2001 is worth a hundred Wrights and Ayers, mostly because it has Obama’s own words.
Perhaps the 527s should focus similarly, although it doesn’t necessarily hurt having them take the secondary arguments.

Let McCain make the economic argument and attack Obama’s redistribution in the home stretch. Let the RNC and 527s go after Obama’s ties.

Ancient History and a waste of time NOW….
originalpechanga on October 27, 2008 at 3:08 PM
John McCain is a flawed candidate because he thinks Barack Obama is an acceptable man to be POTUS.
Those of us who fear for the this country and her Constitution know better and know these Wright Commercials need to run every hour of every day from now to election day.
Elizabetty on October 27, 2008 at 3:09 PM
I’ve seen national polls with 11% undecided voters. It isn’t too late.
bnelson44 on October 27, 2008 at 3:09 PM
Dick Morris was talking about GOPTrust.com this morning on F&F. They have about $1 million right now. They need about $2 million to run it effectively nationwide.
Dr.Cwac.Cwac on October 27, 2008 at 3:09 PM
Wrong. People have a visceral reaction to Wright. We don’t like people trashing our country.
Elizabetty on October 27, 2008 at 3:10 PM
This ad should’ve run 3 weeks ago. I doubt it’ll have much effect at this late date.
uncalheels on October 27, 2008 at 3:11 PM
Tie this into his ‘redistribution of wealth’ in a Reparations context and play the hell out of it in Western Penn, Ohio, Florida and everywhere else its close and their are moderate blue collar Dems out there
jp on October 27, 2008 at 3:11 PM
I like the Wright ad. I think it’s effective.
I would like to see them make an ad out of a clip or two from Obama’s 2001 interview – the thing just hit the news last night, so I imagine one is being put together as we speak.
capitalist piglet on October 27, 2008 at 3:11 PM
Yes, it’s hard to believe that some polls show over 10% undecideds! Let the 527’s run with this important association and let McCain focus on the economy and Mr. Wealthspreader.
ConMom on October 27, 2008 at 3:11 PM
Roughly translated: 11% of people are not willing to tell pollsters that they are racists.
Vashta.Nerada on October 27, 2008 at 3:12 PM
the big mistake was not hitting hard on this over summer and before Financial crisis. Unless they feared Hillary would get nomination if they did?
stupid stupid stupid, should’ve never thrown NC GOP under the bus for its Wright ad McCain. stupid.
Wright is Red Meat material impossible to spin, you hit on that till he is good and bloody and then switch over to Ayers and Socialism.
jp on October 27, 2008 at 3:13 PM
NOT TOO LATE. It resonates MORE than the Redistribution tape.
marklmail on October 27, 2008 at 3:13 PM
Wright by himself is repulsive enough, but he can be directly connected to Ayers, Acorn and the latest bombshell about reparations and wealth redistribution. In that sense, it can be effective but if put in correct context. Perhaps by itself, meh, not so much anymore.
J.J. Sefton on October 27, 2008 at 3:14 PM
Put it all in context and title the ad: “Obama’s WORLDVIEW”
jp on October 27, 2008 at 3:15 PM
It’s a great ad. I think McCain should run it just to see MSM heads explode.
lodge on October 27, 2008 at 3:15 PM
As long as the money isn’t coming from McCain’s camp let this thing play. It works to remind undecided that Obama is way more radical than anyone who has run from either party in a long time.
Between Obama’s ‘redistribution’ interview and Biden recent crisis gaffe, McCain has all the ammo they need for the final week. They just need to aim and fire effectively.
BadgerHawk on October 27, 2008 at 3:16 PM
Nah. Nobody who is not already voting for McCain cares. The Wright stuff could hurt a little, but it’s already been used against Obama once, so it’s old news.
Big S on October 27, 2008 at 3:17 PM
Yes he is. The Left made a stink about Gov. Palin’s religion, and in 2004 Dear Leader Obamassiah’s speech the the Democratic convention made a point about “we believe in an awesome God in the blue states.”
Barack voluntarily chose to align closely with a racist preacher who called on God to damn America. Legitimate issue.
rbj on October 27, 2008 at 3:17 PM
I like the ad, particularly the closing shot with the picture, but I don’t think its effective at this juncture. They should’ve been hitting this all along and tied it into Ayers, Khalidi, Rezko, and so forth. That’s probably the most frustrating thing about this campaign…it was all there, and they just didn’t take advantage.
changer1701 on October 27, 2008 at 3:17 PM
Hell no, it’s not too late.
Was it over when the Gemans bombed Pearl Harbor?
It’s not over ’till it’s over.
there it is on October 27, 2008 at 3:17 PM
It is NOT too late !!
Been in contact with one FL undecided, in recent days.
She’s prone to minutia (both tax plans, etc… giving her credit for at least researching !!)
BUT.. she’s beginning to get the bigger picture of what our NATION might become under such a wildman !
Sure praying this ad runs where she is… ooo… I-4 corridor, she is ! Cool !!
This gives me great , um , hope, folks !!
It’s NEVER too late !
pambi on October 27, 2008 at 3:17 PM
What we need is an ad that connects the dots — since McCain won’t do it — between Wright, Ayers and Obama’s multiple statements about so-called economic racial justice, as heard in the 2001 audio and in 1995.
Terrie on October 27, 2008 at 3:18 PM
It just might throw all those racist rednecks in PA right over the edge.
ctmom on October 27, 2008 at 3:21 PM
I thought the JOOZ bombed Pearl Harbor. Wait, that was Pearl Bailey. Never mind
J.J. Sefton on October 27, 2008 at 3:22 PM
waaaaaaaaay too late. if McCain had blasted Obama for Wright and Ayers from the beginning, declared victory in Iraq and declared Obama was denigrating our troops service for denying the success of the surge, and opposed the “Bush-Obama” Wall St. bailout, McCain would be comfortably ahead. But he did none of the above and is now is doomed to failure.

unctarheel on October 27, 2008 at 3:23 PM
Of COURSE it’s not too late.
Guess what? Obama is not “ahead” in this election. It hasn’t happened yet, no matter what the press wants you to believe.
This ad is a reminder, and a good one, of just who the hell the guy is. Hardcore libtards won’t care, but many “independents” do.

Last week Bo had 47 and McCain had 40…13% undecided…looks like the undecideds are going one way…to J MAC
joepub on October 27, 2008 at 3:30 PM
I don’t think you run it as a campaign tool. I think you run it as a prelude to an all-out, no holds barred culture war. 1960s radicals, racists, Marxists, and all-around leftist haters versus the good guys.
Make the Volvo-driving pansies in the middle choose. If they choose wrong, slash their tires and piss on their leather seats.
I’m sorry…isn’t this Ace’s site?
Jaibones on October 27, 2008 at 3:33 PM

ctmom on October 27, 2008 at 3:34 PM
The RNC and McCain should splice Rev Wright with Obama’s own words from 2001 and Joe the Plumber 2008. Reagan made up 8 points in three days, we still have nine to change minds (and there were fewer undecideds in 1980 and fewer afraid to let pollsters know who they would really vote for). The problem is that Obama has a smooth baritone voice that he could read to the public from Ayer’s death manuals and voters would say, yeah, that sounds good, yes we can. We haven’t seen this phenomenon since a guy named Adolph promoted change in Germany seventy years ago.
eaglewingz08 on October 27, 2008 at 3:34 PM
Obviously, you think so. Can HA ever refrain from their nonstop negativity?
Blake on October 27, 2008 at 3:34 PM
If you live in one of the battleground states, you tune out whenever a political ad comes on. Too many ads over too long a period of time. Saturation point was reached weeks ago.
Too late for this to have an impact.
huckleberryfriend on October 27, 2008 at 3:34 PM
I saw another poll, I don’t remeber who was but it was amazing for me that 8% said that they were undecided and 8% refused to say for whom they’ll vote. So its still in play. And its not too late to remaind people about rev Wright.

Barack Obama too two faced for POTUS.
Mojack420 on October 27, 2008 at 3:39 PM
Gee, only about 6 weeks late.
Where is the greatest hits video with the entire cast of Obama’s characters? Throw in the Solid Gold Dancers and you might be able to flip some votes.
moxie_neanderthal on October 27, 2008 at 3:40 PM
Point. Didn’t Obama claim to be atheist or agnostic until joining Wright’s church?
Count to 10 on October 27, 2008 at 3:43 PM
Someone here brilliantly coined the “Hey, look, shiny!” voters. They won’t listen to the Marxism espoused by Obama in the audio tapes because they never listened in school, either. Their eyes glaze over when someone mentions “Constitution.”
But “God d**n America” is very shiny. More, please. Load up the cannons with everything we’ve got and light the fuse.
bonnie_ on October 27, 2008 at 3:43 PM
It’s not too late. This may well go to the wire – let the 527s take this approach and let McCain keep plugging.
The 527s shouldn’t have to go here but given that the MSM has completely ignored 90% of the skeletons in Obama’s cupboard, why not?
Ares on October 27, 2008 at 3:43 PM
Wright and Ayers ads by themselves aren’t very effective. Running the Wright ad is ok, and maybe it’ll help him a little in battleground states, but it isn’t going to make or break the election. To really turn the tide, you have to weave Wright and Ayers into a theme.
I have a theme for you — at least 50% of subprime loans went to minorities. The Congressional Black Caucus pushed Freddie and Fannie HARD. The CRA and the Clinton amendments to the CRA were expressly race-based affirmative action programs for housing. ACORN, an Obama group, threatened and cajoled the banks into expanding subprime lending programs. We know Obama wants racial justice through redistribution of wealth, because that’s what he talked about in his NPR interview in 2001… So basically, this entire crisis can be stemmed back to a half-baked liberal social engineering scheme to do affirmative action in housing.
But unfortunately, that ship has sailed. I’m sure McCain was terrified of being called a racist if he attacked this way. [Of course, he got accused of being George Wallace for far less serious crimes against The One]. But he shouldn’t be afraid of that. The best way to shut down accusations of racism is to get in the person’s face and call them out for using a race card. It’s dramatic, it’s shocking, and it resonates with ordinary folks out there.
Outlander on October 27, 2008 at 3:47 PM
Any ads that counter the barrage of Obama ads in PA are good. The more the merrier. Hopefully the cumulative effect of ads like this, the NRA ads, the neverfindout.org ads, Gianna Jessen’s ads, etc. will sink in to a lot of independent voters and patriotic Democrats – that Barack Obama is a wolf in sheep’s clothing.
rockmom on October 27, 2008 at 3:48 PM
If they’re going to hit Wright, they need to hit him not on his “G*D*America” statements, but on the tinfoil hat conspiracy theories he’s peddling. This guy has been saying the U.S. government is intentionally supplying drugs in black neighborhoods and passing three-strike laws in a conspiracy to imprison and execute black youths. He’s saying U.S. foreign policy is responsible for genocide in Africa. That’s what’s really disturbing about this guy, not his cursing America.

Sugar Land on October 27, 2008 at 3:58 PM
It’s not necessarily that it’s too late. Rather, it’s just old news. People heard this stuff months ago. If Jeremiah Wright’s rantings mattered to you, you decided long ago to support McCain.
People know about this; they just don’t care.
paul006 on October 27, 2008 at 3:59 PM
Btw, DH and I purchased our very FIRST firearm this weekend.
It was a very big step, here.

I’m jus’ sayin’.
pambi on October 27, 2008 at 4:02 PM
Let the 527s hit on the Wright issue, and let McCain go after Socialism issue, because that’s Obama’s own words, not those of an “associate”. The NPR tape gives McCain three lines of attack, all in one quote:
1) Obama wants to forcibly redistribute wealth;
2) Obama says that the Warren court was not “radical” enough, and McCain can claim that Obama would appoint radicals to SCOTUS, while McCain would appoint strict constructionists;
3) Obama complained that the Founding Fathers placed too many restrictions in the Constitution–McCain can claim that Obama is against the Constitution, even though every President takes an oath to preserve and defend it!
Steve Z on October 27, 2008 at 4:02 PM
After hearing Obama’s comments back in 2001 about wanting to pursue wealth redistribution as a form of social justice and financial reparation for the past treatment of the black community, I can now see why he chose to become part of Wright’s congregation and ended up having such a close relationship the guy.
Dreadnought223 on October 27, 2008 at 4:05 PM
The “too risky” meme has been a big thing
for Republican ads but is, I think, a
mistake.
Many people are ready to take a risk and because calling
him “too risky” just calls attention to how different
he is from others, the theme could easily be backfiring on
Republicans.
I don’t have a good alternative – all mine are too long:
“Barack Obama – a mistake for America”
“Barack Obama – too many corrupt friends”
“Barack Obama – not a risky choice, a proven disaster.
“Barack Obama – he’s Jermemiah Wright, he’s ACORN, he’s Ayers”
“Barack Obama – a pretty face with an ugly record”
But I’ll be somebody can do this in two or three words.
Paul Murphy on October 27, 2008 at 4:16 PM
Yes Wright is fair game!
.
Obama’s mentor is Jeremiah Write and Writes mentor is liberal theologen James Cone who once wrote – “… If God is not for us and against white people, then he is a murderer, and we had better kill him.”
.
If Obama was white and he had these ties, we would be talking about Hillary right now. IMHO
abinitioadinfinitum on October 27, 2008 at 4:18 PM
They need to drop EVERYTHING ELSE and run this with every nickel they have left. THIS resonates with people.
marklmail on October 27, 2008 at 4:21 PM
Sure Wright is fair game.
But the only people who give a sh*t are you guys and the Republican base. Independents won’t be swayed by this – people believe Obama has left Wright far, far behind him.
This will not impact the election whatsoever.
But keep trying – maybe someone can dig up Obama’s drug dealer at college and make a tv spot about him. You guys will be the only people who will give a sh*t about that as well.
Dave Rywall on October 27, 2008 at 4:23 PM
Obamabots – folks like you – won’t be swayed. Independents are a different matter.
ManlyRash on October 27, 2008 at 4:30 PM

Keep running the ad until the
cows come homechickens come home to roost.Mallard T. Drake on October 27, 2008 at 4:31 PM
Wright was an issue during the Democrat primary. Lots of folks were not paying attention to a scuffle between Hillary (whom most people assumed was going to be the nominee going into the primary) and Obama in the Democrat primary… particularly the independents and current undecideds that our astroturfers claim are not going to care. I follow politics, but I certainly didn’t keep careful track of the allegations thrown around about Ron Paul during my own party’s primary… because I didn’t expect him to be the nominee so I knew it was irrelevant. Why would independents pay much attention to last April?
Choosing Rev. Wright as your spiritual mentor for the majority of your adult life, involving him in your family decision to run for President, asking him to officiate at your wedding, and having him baptize your kids is a close relationship. It is not credible that Obama was unaware of Wright’s racist and anti-American views.
Finally disavowing Rev. Wright when he became a political liability 6 months ago is not ancient history. It’s certainly worthwhile for a 527 to educate undecided voters about Obama’s associations with this hate-monger as it speaks volume about Obama’s character and judgment.
I understand why Obama’s most strident supporters ignore Rev. Wright, even though his words run counter to the post-racial era that Obama supposedly espouses. The ends justify the means and they want political power. However, it is pretty naive to think that average Americans will dismiss Rev. Wright so readily.
Y-not on October 27, 2008 at 4:44 PM
Especially when they realize that’s who BaROCK wants the Constitution/Supreme Court to give your money to.
tree hugging sister on October 27, 2008 at 4:44 PM
What do you all think about McCain bringing up Wright himself? After McCain called Wright off limits, bringing him in at the end will certainly make news and the MSM will cover it. We know they will spin it as a desperate move by McCain and going back on his word. But they will certainly want to interview him over it, and McCain could give a plausible justification relating to the attacks on SarahCuda, Joe The Plumber, and Barbara West. Most importantly……he would be in position to expand on Obama’s other associations, it costs him nothing to do it, it puts Obama on the defensive, and he reaches a national audience with arguably more air time in the battle ground states.
Question: Would it be a net loss or net gain?
csdeven on October 27, 2008 at 4:46 PM
If McCain lets people go after the Wright thing, then he’ll come across like an as*hole who
a) can’t control his own people
b) can’t stick with a decision
c) won’t callout people who went against his specific campaign instructions
Lose-lose-lose proposition.
And as someone pointed out, Wright was out on the table months ago. Nobody cared then, nobody cares now.
Dave Rywall on October 27, 2008 at 4:50 PM
I don’t know.
Zogby wrote McCain does best when he hits the economy.
On the other hand, McCain has never hit hard on Wright et al.
Blogs are not television ads. I don’t think it has been done yet.
Rev. Wright was the main hot button I have found with people who are not ideologues. G-D- America is a valid consideration in a Presidential candidate
That is why Zogby could be right and wrong. He finds McCain does best when he is hammering economy. The ads will not be McCain but a third party. McCain does not have to approve this message
The important thing about the ads is to make them third party commentary. McCain wouldn’t participate anyway

Obama is a master at misdirection tricks. People obviously don’t get the fact that his whole “tax break for 95%” is pure nonsense. This Wright issue is real. Obama can’t spin it. When he tried, he is seen for the liar that he is.

Everybody cared. That’s why Obama lost so big in the last 10 primaries. If Wright had been exposed a month earlier we’d be talking about Hilary’s socialism right now instead of Senator Gubments.
JAM on October 27, 2008 at 5:02 PM
McCain, Palin, and his official surrogates should not talk about Wright now. They should focus on making the positive case for McCain-Palin.
However, 527s, media pundits, and others interested in the outcome (supporters not affiliated with the campaign and individual voters) can and should make sure that no one casts a ballot without being fully aware of Obama’s long and close association with this racist hate-monger.

No they aren’t. McCain will benefit. Obama is “cult of personality”. Normal folks don’t like that part of his personality.
marklmail on October 27, 2008 at 5:10 PM
John McCain, today in his speech
I just sent $$$ to this 527 and to McCain/Palin. It’s a great one-two punch
Ed, you really need to stop hanging around with defeatists. Too late? With Obama/Biden now shutting down TV stations because reporters are starting to ask them questions? Kind of like how he cancelled his remaining debates with Hillary after Ayers came up, and then he lost pretty much all the primaries after that?
Certainly it’s not too late. sheesh
funky chicken on October 27, 2008 at 5:13 PM
Believe it or not, some of my Dem friends have never heard of Ayers. Not sure about Rev. Wright, so:
RUN THIS AD EARLY AND OFTEN!
The point is that Obama is one of them: a Bill Ayers/Rev. Wright/Louie Farrakhan/Rashid Khalidi/Bernardine Dohrn anti-American, marxist, radical freak.
It’s not just “associations”….HE IS ONE OF THEM.
Take off the gloves…our country is at stake.
Let’s freakin’ roll!
ex-Democrat on October 27, 2008 at 5:25 PM
Hahaha….just soaked your panties little astroturfer?
We’re running the ad early and often….the people need to know all about the marxist, racist, anti-semitic freak.
And I don’t mean just Rev. Wright. I mean Obama himself.
All the way to November 4th people….take the gloves off Team McCain….let’s roll.
ex-Democrat on October 27, 2008 at 5:29 PM
pambi, send her the link in an email to make sure she sees it, and more importantly:
ask her to forward the email to at least 10 friends (asking each of those to forward to 10 friends)….
We need you here!
Let’s roll!
ex-Democrat on October 27, 2008 at 5:40 PM
Many people don’t have any idea about Rev.
Wright.. Adding that Obama heard over 500
sermons from Wright would be good, too. It’s a
shocking thing that a presidential candidate
belonged to a racist church for years, and
that truth has been sandbagged and minimized.

As long as you leave my ‘89 tercel alone we are all good ;)
Bradky on October 27, 2008 at 5:47 PM
If this was the only ad being run, I’d say it’s a dumb idea. Since most people seem to need several reasons to not vote for Osama Obama (Bomber Billy Ayers does it for me as a disqualifier), I say run this and a variety of other themes.
Besides, it seems to be a point that the trolls — even barry norris and Drywall — can’t effectively refute. Wright said these disgusting things, and he was Obama’s spiritual guide and pastor. Obama himself can’t make an excuse for himself without lying like a rug.
MrScribbler on October 27, 2008 at 5:56 PM
Right on! Right on! Right on!
The undecideds don’t pay attention until a few days before voting, so this will help remind the inattentive that Obama is a crank-spawned radical weasel.
Obama- in your head you know he’s Red.

That is not true. When Hillary was hitting Obama on Wright, his numbers PLUMMETED. At least a 20 point drop.

They should have done this months ago. McCain should have hammered Obama and exposed him during the debates. Question him on things like explaining ‘Black Liberation Theology’, which is jealousy, hatred, and ugly, filthy, hate mongering against whites. Jeremiah White who is Obama’s pastor, and the entire church believe in this theology. They are officially part of this movement. Apparently started by Dr. James Cone, and Dr. James Cone is the mentor of Obama’s pastor and his church, and his church officially follows the teachings of Dr. James Cone. And here’s what Dr. James Cone said. And again, this is the philosophy of Obama’s church that he was a member of for 20 years — his entire church that he’s been a member of for 20 years. Here is what the founder of the church said about their philosophy and I quote:
“The task of black theology is to kill Gods who do not belong to the black community … Black theology will accept only the love of God which participates in the destruction of the white enemy. What we need is the divine love as expressed in Black Power, which is the power of black people to destroy their oppressors here and now by any means at their disposal. Unless God is participating in this holy activity, we must reject his love.”
Here he openly states that the basis of their so-called theology is to quote, “participation in the destruction of the white enemy.” Is to work to destroy and exterminate all white people because of their race. That is the official philosophy and so-called theology — of the church of Jeremiah Wright. and the church of Barack Hussein Obama has been a member of for 20 years. This is the individual that the entire bolshevik traitor news media is telling us this is who we must support!! Why McCain didn’t expose Obama during the debates is beyond belief.

It might have been. (Past contrary-to-fact subjunctive.)

Forget about the McCain campaign, donate to this Republican
PAC.

Once again, McCain is late to the party.
I hope to whole of the GOP learn from this election that the left will attack, play the victim, then attack more.
And I hope the whole of the GOP will go on and stay on the offensive in all future elections.
No more high road. Just plenty of knee capping.

If McCain went after Wright and Black Liberation Theology he would open himself to have to go after Islam down the road and he is not going to do that.
Let others do it for him.

1960’s. This is truely the 1960’s. I think thats where this man’s mind is stuck.

Wright is old history. Obama needed a church, Wright’s gave him political cred. No more. (Else why is Wright under the bus?)
The Dohrn / Michelle R / Sydney & Austin / Barack O / Ayers links are more of an indication of the social[ist] crowd Obama chooses. Never mind his abandoning dad.
I could throw BHO further than I trust him OR his words.

You know, isn’t it telling that the only friends of Sen. Obama we know about are radical.
Yet, within 1 week of Gov. Palin being named running mate to Sen. McCain we heard from quite a few of her coworkers, friends, college room mates and classmates, and family.
The ‘friends’ of Sen. Obama that we have heard from are nutjobs, racists, radicals, and corrupt.
