MSNBC story about Obama's "negative" ads on now...

[bbernardini]

Actually, they're talking about a poll which claims that Obama's ads are more negative than McCain's. Apparently, pointing out the truth is "negative." :)

1. Oh for God's sake...the McAnus crowd has been personal, insulting,

and of course, just plain LIARS in their ads; Obama points out facts and HE'S called negative??
Kinda like Lady Rothschild calling Obama "elitist."
Wow. Just wow.

6. obama elite?

dont you think someone with his money and education is a little elitist? I mean how can you have an ivy leage education and make millions and millions of dollars a year, but still truly understand the plight of an average american??

[grannylib]

10. You clearly have not been paying attention. Obama had a humble

childhood, went to college on scholarships, student loans, and intelligence, not legacy like Chimpy the Unelected Imbecile and McAnus. Obama has only made money in recent years, from the sale of his books. He deliberately took a low-wage job in Chicago when he COULD have been making much more, given his intellect and degree, but did it out of conscience and as someone who walks his talk, unlike rePiglicans like Chimpy, Cheney and McAnus.

Nice try, troll.
Obama is MUCH closer to most Americans' circumstances than Li'l Johnny, son and grandson of admirals, with his sugar-mama wife and his multiple homes and his total fuckin' cluelessness.

12. He got his Ivy "leage" education

through hard work and determination.How'd you get your's?

[angstlessk]

13. Obama does NOT make millions and millions a year..you must be

thinking of mcsame's wife's trust fund???

[Blue Belle]

15. Seriously?? Have you been living under a rock?

He grew up on food stamps and worked his ass off to get his "Ivy League" education. He understands the plight of an average American better than anyone else in this race. Are you just uninformed or have strong feeling against those who attend Ivy League Universities?

18. Welcome to DU!

How long did the other 98 NoMoreWar accounts last?

-Hoot

19. As some folks have said, I want the smartest motherf**ker in the room as president.

If some people think he's elitist, that's fine with me. The people that think that are idiots anyway.

[mrreowwr_kittty]

23. Go. Fuck. Yourself. Troll.

[FVZA_Colonel]

2. Apparently, telling the truth is negative.

And it is something I have no problem with.

[csziggy]

3. I was upset that they lumped all the ads together - the lies and the unpalatable truth

McCain's negative ads are mostly lies or data twisted so much it amounts to lies. Obama's "negative" ads are pointing out the truth. But the guys on David Gregory's show talked about them as if they are the same type of ad.

Why do I even have the TV turned to that SOB?

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

4. And this is why I turn MSNBC off when David Gregory is on.

[rebel with a cause]

22. Smirking Gregory is never watched by me.

because he is among the creeps on tv. ;)

[bluestateguy]

5. Good, maybe they'll play the ads over and over again on the loop da loop

nt

[XOKCowboy]

7. David Gregory SUCKS!!

Any rebuttal of the NeoCon? Heck no. Just feed him another fluffball question. Gregory is a shill and a stain on real journalism.

[dennis4868]

8. How do they define....

negative ads?

[Caliman73]

9. I saw that on Hardall yesterday

They claim that Obama has 77% negative ads to McCain's 55%. They had some douche from Factcheck on saying, "Well, it's not entirely untrue..." about some of his ads. They should be focusing on how McCain's team just outright lies and continues to do so after being called out on the lies. There was an Obama ad on how McCain voted to cut education. They were picking it apart by saying, "Well he actually only voted to CUT education once, 2 times he just voted AGAINST increasing funding. Okay? I guess voting against giving schools more of what they need to survive is not the same as voting not to give them the funding they need to survive. :wtf:

[AlCzervik]

11. good, hasn't the media told us time after time negative ads work, yes they have.

and it's not Obama's fault that McCain has a negative record.

[trudyco]

20. I like that - it's not Obama's fault that McCain has a negative record nt

[ThoughtCriminal]

14. Can't help it - McCain sucks.. a Lot!

[Enrique]

16. I hope they're showing the ads as they talk about them

show them over and over...

[elleng]

17. Claims that O's ads more negative,

or that there are MORE of them?

[and-justice-for-all]

21. Obama's ads are not 'attack' ads...

they point to the obvious facts which also expose McInsane for the shrill he and his comrade are.

It is one thing to bash someone with false accusations and other to expose them with truths.
