GOP running "Reverend Wright" ad in Colorado...

[kentuck]

I heard on Hardball that they were also running in OH and PA? This is their final attempt just before the election.

Is it now fair game for the Obama campaign to pull out the old witch doctor laying hands on our Sister Sarah ad?? No one could say it was unfair.

1. Via CNN / FOX....I see it here in Hawaii too...it ain't gonna work...the Pubs are stupid.

[Triana]

3. Hawaii - and NY? Jeebus the pigshits ARE stupid. n/t

2. DMF's - they are a joke!

[CPschem]

4. Now running in GA

Just saw it on CBS.

[AlinPA]

5. It's here in PA - heavy in W PA.

7. Could it really push away enough people in 48 hours or so?

I doubt it.

[AlinPA]

13. The R's are running so many negative ads that people are tired of it all.

With the robo-calls from R's coming in every hour or so, they may end up sorry that they tried this garbage.

[gauguin57]

11. Yep ... the nasty ad is playing in eastern PA, too ... and so is the Mohammed Atta one

(the one saying Obama wants to give driver's licenses to illegal aliens ... and there's a picture of Mohammed Atta on the license!)

[FVZA_Colonel]

15. It's really amused me that they use Atta on that, considering he was in the country legally.

[gauguin57]

23. Like they care about accuracy.

Jerks.

6. I saw it in Minnesota tonight

[MN Treehugger]

9. Saw it in MN too

On CBS during the Amazing Race. Disgusting.

8. Can't be. Everyone was praising McCain for not using Wright.

Only a man of great dishonor would start putting this shit up in the last few days, knowing it's too the end of the game and the target of his ad won't have time to respond.

Those a**holes. They have been sitting there all along, rubbing their hands thinking "we're going to pull it out at the end with $20M of Wright ads, hell, we'll even pull GOTV to show them." but really, no one cares about Wright anymore and this just looks like the negative, desperate, divisive campaign that is McCain's legacy.

[RidinMyDonkey]

10. I saw one tonight

I live in Minnesota, I wasn't expecting those ads here. We're so liberal those ads aren't going to do anything but piss us off.

No one cares about Rev. Wright anymore anyway. This is old news! Everyone has known about the Reverend Wright controversy since the primaries. Digging up old shit isn't going to be very effective.

[ecstatic]

12. I think the ad is running in every state. It's here in GA and in

many other states.

[elf]

14. also in Florida!

[bevoette]

16. during Amazing Race tonight, too (nm)

[bdamomma]

17. smells like Rove to me.

[amborin]

18. robo calls saying O will cut the military in Ohio:

"The newest McCain campaign robocall, hitting households in Ohio, is accusing Barack Obama of wanting to cut military spending and, in the process, risk American security and jobs.

Flagged by Shaun Dakin of The National Political Do Not Contact Registry, the spot plays off of a traditional, macro-criticism of Democratic candidates - that they are weak on defense - and adds a new micro-critique as well: highlighting a statement by Rep. Barney Frank that cuts in military spending may be needed to get the budget under control."

24. Hasn't McCain said he'd cut the Defense budget as well?

Obama's made himself clear repeatedly, it's too late for these things to have a serious effect. Given the number of polls which show Obama gaining, however slowly, in Ohio I think we'll take it (especially thanks to finally having a Governor and Secretary of State who give a damn about fair elections.)

[book_worm]

19. people at this stage will see it for what it is--desperation. Nothing to worry about.

In Pennsylvania, Wright and Clinton Remarks Are Revived

By Michael Cooper AND Michael Falcone

SCRANTON, Pa. – Here come the final Republican attacks on Senator Barack Obama, authorized and unauthorized, in the last 48 hours of the race.

The Pennsylvania Republican Party has cut a television ad – which the McCain campaign said was unauthorized — reminding people here that Senator Barack Obama’s former pastor, the Rev. Jeremiah Wright, had said “God damn America” in a sermon.

The ad, titled “Judgment,” juxtaposes images of Mr. Obama and Mr. Wright, noting that the Democratic presidential candidate chose the Chicago preacher to baptize his two daughters. A narrator says: “Barack Obama, he chose as his pastor a man who blamed the US for the 9-11 attacks. Does that sound like someone who should be president?”

Senator Obama distanced himself from the pastor during the primaries after some of the his more controversial remarks were made public. He also quit his membership at Chicago’s Trinity United Church of Christ where Rev. Wright preaches.

“Well, we wish they wouldn’t do Wright ads, but as McCain said back in the spring, he can’t be the referee of every ad,’’ Charlie Black, a senior adviser to the McCain campaign, said on a flight here from Philadelphia. “People know how he feels. If they cared what he felt about the issue, they wouldn’t run the ad.’’

It was unclear how often the Pennsylvania Republicans were able to broadcast the ads, and the party was raising money on its web site to try to keep them on the air. Robert A. Gleason Jr., the state party chairman, said in a statement on the party’s website: “Why did Barack Obama associate with a man who has clear disdain for our country?’’

But Mr. Black happily took credit for a phone call that the McCain campaign and the Republican National Committee are paying for that features one of Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton’s toughest attacks on Mr. Obama during the primary campaign.

“Senator McCain will bring a lifetime of experience to the campaign, and Senator Obama will bring a speech that he gave in 2002,” Mrs. Clinton says in the recording on the call, first reported by CNN.

“Senator Clinton said it, she meant it at the time,’’ Mr. Black said. “We understand now that she has to support her ticket. But she is a good friend of Senator McCain’s, and I have not hear her demand that we quit using it.’’

Mrs. Clinton was planning to campaign for Mr. Obama Sunday evening in Virginia."
