Obama needs to run the following ad immediately... It would expose McCain utterly...

[Blackhatjack]

Take a video clip of McCain denouncing the robocalls run against him in 2000 with the false slurs, and his condemnation of those calls and how running them means you are desperate and have no message. Then play the first part of the McCain robocall being run across the country ... showing a picture of McCain...

Follow with a statement graphic :"Looks like McCain's Straight Talk Express Just Lost Another Wheel on that one..."

Screen graphic "18 days til election day, McCain's spending millions of dollars to smear Obama rather than explain his plans for rescuing the economy.... "

Show video in background of Obama speaking at a rally with a quote about fixing the economy, ending the war, addressing healthcare, energy and education.

"The problems we face are real... We need a President who recognizes those problems are paramount and require our full attention... Choose wisely on election day ... Choose Obama"

[Lugnut]

6. Excellent idea!

If you haven't done it already I sincerely hope you're planning to e-mail your idea to the Obama campaign.

7. He lectures Bush pretty good after South Carolina

McCain said Bush's campaign tactics were despicable.

I tried to find it on youtube.. no luck

[kansasblue]

12. Here's some of it.

``I don't know if you can understand this, George, but that really hurts,'' McCain said at the onset of the debate, alluding to Bush's appearance beside an army colonel who had questioned McCain's commitment to veterans.

``You should be ashamed,'' McCain said, citing his 17-year record in Congress on veterans affairs. ``You should be ashamed.''

14. That "You Should Be Ashamed..." line would work very well...

[NYC_SKP]

8. A split screen of McCain vs Obama rallies would be very effective.

Hate speech vs Solutions

[grannylib]

9. Perfect. PERFECT!!! Obama campaign, are you paying attention???

Have you sent this to the campaign?? This would be great.

10. Hear Hear, Sir!

"That's the stuff to give the Hun!"

[Blackhatjack]

11. IIRC there is video of McCain being incensed in 2000 and making such a statement...

That would be a huge example of self-condemnation by running the old video along side the present robocall.

It is always better to let a candidate condemn his own conduct by saying "let's go to the videotape..."

[Blackhatjack]

13. It would also make a good piece for John Stewart's Daily Show...

He loves to show video that contradicts the statements or conduct of such individusals.

This needs to be projected all over the US.

[TragedyandHope]

Barack Obama Choose Wisely

27. yep.

[Blackhatjack]

31. CNN just ran a piece on McCain in 2000 calling robocalls run against him 'Disgraceful'...

That is the video we need to find, and if we can't find it we might consider inserting the CNN comment made today verifying McCain condemned the robocalls.

[Blackhatjack]

32. I know the video exists. I remember seeing it on the nightly news back in 2000...

It was related to a story about the 'McCain fathered a black child out of wedlock' robocalls.

And later it was determined that the same firm McCain is using today to run robocalls was in fact responsible for those robocalls run against McCain in 2000 in S.C.
