McCain beats Obama to the "wolf" ad
Ok,for weeks the Obama camp has had a brilliant resource in the Defenders of Wildlife ad showing Palin sanctioned wolf and bear shooting from the air. This is basically a slaughter. This video could have easily been spliced into other aspects to paint Palin as "extreme". Instead, McCain has just launched his own attack ad using wolves.

I don't get why this kind of material isn't being used by the Obama camp. Every day there's an attack ad from McCain, and everyday we play defense. Do they not understand that the more sensationalistic the ad, the more play it gets? What are they waiting for? Why have they not jumped on Palin for not speaking to the media?

1. How on earth did they put a positive spin on this and use it for an ad?
I can't fathom one positive aspect of this.

3. I was thinking the same thing......

...there is enough footage of aerial hunting of wolves and bears in Alaska in all its disgusting detail - why not use it and tie Palin's ugly mug to it...... show this barbaric habit and how she is all for it.....see if her polish looses a bit of its luster.....

4. Shooting Wolves from airplanes is HER POLICY
Edited on Wed Sep-10-08 02:51 PM by ClayZ
Obama should be using it against her! It is disgusting. When CNN shows the wolf shooting footage I CRY!

She and Dick Cheney should be made to run across the snow naked and shot with paint ball guns from helicopters. That would be a great add. Use stand ins!

Just my opinion!


Palin and Cheney are PIGS! Lipstick or not!


K and R

7. How, exactly, has McCain beaten Obama? WHAT are you referring to?
Has McCain released an ad painting it as a positive? Thanks for any explanation.

9. Hey Chicken Little Give It A Rest
"I don't get why this kind of material isn't being used by the Obama camp." This is EXACTLY why YOU haven't been hired by the Obama team. A search of your posts reveals much about you my friend. If you donated you would understand why search is such a nice thing my friend.:hi:

12. This ad is a perfect example of "more of the same"
Bush/Cheney 2004 used the wolf ad against Kerry (see my post ^^ with link).

Why would Obama trot out the old Bush/Cheney crap? McCain does it because his campaign is the same as Bush/Cheney and they haven't an original idea.
