Incendiary New Ad Attacks Obama's "Wrong Values"
CBS News' Michelle Levi reports that a PAC called Our Country Deserves Better is now running an ad that is essentially a compilation of most of the character and association attacks made against Barack Obama throughout the year.
The ad, "Obama's Wrong Values," began running Sunday night in Reno, Nevada and has since expanded across the state. The group plans to air the spot in Colorado starting tomorrow and run it in Michigan – where McCain has pulled his advertising – by the end of the week.
According to a PAC spokesman, the group has already spent just under $100,000 in Nevada and Colorado to run the spot. The group said its budget in Michigan is "$500,000 or higher." It said it has plans to expand to Ohio and Pennsylvania, adding that its funding comes largely from a large number of small donors.
The anti-Obama group says it is kicking off a two week "Stop Obama Tour," which will include rallies, starting tomorrow.
According to its web site, the group has one objective: "to defeat Barack Obama in the 2008 presidential election."
They promise they "won’t be subtle or vague - America’s future is at stake, and it’s time someone stood up to Barack Obama and told the American people why this man cannot, and must not, serve as our next Commander-in-Chief."
The 30 second spot opens with a narrator saying "Barack Obama seems to have different values from most Americans." As he says this, the Democratic nominee is spotlighted without his hand on his heart during the Pledge of Allegiance.
"His supporters put up Cuban flags with the murderous leftist Che Guevara in Obama's campaign offices," the narrator continues. "Obama's campaign received $33,000 in illegal donations from Palestinians living in the Middle East. A top official of the terrorist group Hamas endorsed Obama's campaign. And who can forget these hateful sermons from Obama's pastor of over 20 years."
At this point, Rev. Jeremiah Wright is shown saying "God Damn America."

It''s called GUILT by Association you poor uneducated person. It was and has always been the weapon of choice of FASCIST all over the world. To say it is UN-AMERICAN to try to hold someone else responsible for the actions of OTHERS, especially when within the ranks of the attacking party are MORE KKK members than ANY group on earth, is an understatement!!
McCain choice from the very beginning to allow personal greed, ambition,/his soul for the "idol made of gold" gave his true enemies (hard-core radically conservative Republicans)the way to help destroy the little bit of integrity, honor, and trust he had during the 2000 campaign.I truly believe that the truth is hitting McCain square in the eyes that he will never achieve credibility or redemption for his acts. After this election he will be a political pariah.

Oh you ain''t seen nothin yet!! Those of us who went up against these people during the 60''s can tell you all about them and the depth of their hatred... They are going to take this to it''s lowest level and McCain will suffer for the rest of his Political Life.
If McCain wants to paint him as being guilty by association with Ayres. it will be a mistake. Obama%u2019s simple response will
be %u201CSenator McCain, Using your logic, Bob Scheiffer and myself would be guilty of bad judgement in the Keating 5 ethics
violations matter simply because we are on the same stage with you. But then again, It wasnt your associate who did that,
was it? It was you. And of course, It wasn%u2019t your associate who revealed the entire flight inventory of the Forrestal to
Hanoi, or showed them the flight paths into North vietman. It was you. And it wasnt your associate who gave so much
information to Hanoi that their fellow prisoners named them %u2018Songbird%u2019, was it? It was you. And it wasnt your associate
who said they would place the architect of the current economic meltdown; %u201CPhil Gramm%u2019 as secretary of the treasury. It
was you. So, if you are done with all this guilt by association McCarthyism, We do have some economic issues to solve,
Obama sought these people, he joined Ayer''s boards, funded ACORN''s programs. Trained their workers, represented them in court, then lied about having anything to do with them. He has called Wright a great man and his personal mentor. He was a member of that church when they honored Farrakhan, that is tacit approval. This is not guilt by association, these are the people that Obama seeks to further his career then discards when the press finds out. If you can''t see it, you are the poor uneducated fool.
P.S. I bet you spit on soldiers returning from Vietnam.
It appears to me that the associations of Barack Obama are important. I get a sense that he truly would like to radicalize our youth, redistribute our wealth, and create an america that he can believe in, not the one I grew up to hold as the ideal. I work long hours, travel extensively to provide a lifestyle for my family, I cannot believe that someone can be so shallow as to believe it is fair to garnish what I have achieved through my own determination and sacrafice to give to those with less ambition.
Finally, I would really appreciate the media letting us know who were the members of congress that felt it necessary to tack on $180 Billion to the $700 Billion rescue package, that was nothing less than extortion and they should be exposed.

So what is your point?
Even if there was a shred of accuracy at your attempts to smear Barack Obama, none of it would make him any less of a great leader for our country.

***************************************** I bet you (or anybody else) don''t have any proof that any soldier returning from Vietnam was ever spit on!
McCain can''t win if all votes for him are based on Obama hatred. There is no passion from the repubs for McCain, none. This reminds me of the election in ''92 when the repubs could onlybash Clinton with no support for GB senior. That''s a losing strategy folks.

***************************************** Your posts have a familiar ring. So I think everybody here already knows that you don''t even know what a communist is.
Nice to see Obamabots squealing about it.
Ayers, Rezko, Wright and Farrakan have NEVER ONCE advised Obama on ''policy''.
The same CAN NOT be said of Bush, Cheney, or Palin. They ARE McCain''s cohorts and advisors!
McCain''s economic advisor said the bad economy was ''all in our minds and called us whiners.'' Who else would have suggested to McCain that the fundamentals of our economy are strong?.
When you agree with George Bush, 90% of the time, he''s YOUR pal...
If you polled America on the folks from Obama''s past, at least 4 in 10 would view THEM favorably.
One is a respected educator.
One is a preacher.
One is a concert violinist.
One is working with the government.
Spin it as you must...Obama''s ''so called pals'' have a more popular rating then Bush,Cheney,Rove or Palin!
Obama has always said, ''this election is not about me...its about you''.
McCain has always said-its about him...
Rezko - Convicted felon.
Jeremiah Wright- America hater.
Khalid Mansoor- sponsored Obama''s harvard studies.
Ayers- unrepentant domestic radical.
The list goes on and on...
and Obama wants to be President!
Character matters.
It used to be the liberals with the crazy offcenter views. The Religious Right has taken over. Makes left wing nutjobs seem sane.

Too funny. This video''s guaranteed to leave the kids rolling in the aisles with laughter.
when Obama first came on the national media in 2004, I thought he was a breath of fresh air who would bring about real CHange.
Now I think Obama is just a Corrupt Chicago thug politician and a smooth talking version of jesse jackson. Obama has been assocatied with crooks and shady characters most of his political career which were not evident when Obama gave the 2004 convention speech.
Wow are you stupid. Ayers applied for a grant from the Annenberg Challenge and picked Obama for the board to help distribute the money. It is a fact. I agree with you that Annenberg himself would have never granted the money if he had known what it would be used for ie radical indoctrination of Chicago students. The Obama campaign first told the FEC (Federal Election Commission) that the $800,000 payment to ACORN was for concert equipment, then they were found out and had to admit it was for a get out the vote push. You are the liar, you are the kool-aid drinker. I pity you. Facts have nothing to do with hate. You just hate the facts. Peace.
HEAD OF McCAIN''S PRESIDENTIAL TRANSITION TEAM LOBBIED FOR SADDAM HUSSEIN
William Timmons, the Washington lobbyist who JOHN McCAIN has named to HEAD HIS PRESIDENTIAL TRANSITION TEAM, aided an influence effort on BEHALF of IRAQI DICTATOR SADDAM HUSSEIN to ease international sanctions against his regime.
Timmons'' activities occurred in the years following the first Gulf War, when Washington considered Iraq to be a ROGUE ENEMY STATE and a sponsor of TERRORISM.
In 1992, and for FIVE YEARS after, Timmons worked closely with two lobbyists, Samir Vincent and Tongsun Park, LOBBYING FOR a prospective deal with SADDAM HUSSEIN to purchase and resell Iraqi oil. Timmons, Vincent, and Park stood to share at least $45 MILLION if their deal went through.
Virtually everything Timmons did during his lobbying campaign was WITHIN DAYS conveyed to SADDAM HUSSEIN''S top aides, Tariq Aziz and Nizar Hamdoon. IRAQI replies were sent back to Timmons. Proposals that TIMMONS HIMSELF CIRCULATED to U.S. OFFICIALS as part of the effort were WRITTEN WITH THE ASSISTANCE OF IRAQI OFFICIALS, and Timmons sent these proposals to IRAQI OFFICIALS for advance approval.
An investigator on the U.N. investigation said of Timmons: "He would have to be the most naive person in the world to believe that (he was not lobbying for Saddam). I guess William Timmons is just a natural born oilman. He is either deceiving himself to rationalize what he has done or taking the rest of us for fools."
Too bad it will alienate a broad band of potential voters! LOL
