but the average person sitting and listening to this is far and few. Take the most pertinent parts and get another voice over, or maybe break it up into parts. Actually come out and say these people are not telling the truth point blank.

Playing the visuals from the AFP commercial repeatedly is only going to reinforce that message. The bland announcer's voice gets tuned out against the creepy music and anti-Obama visual messaging.

Not many will listen long enough, nor retain what they heard.
