Second Ad Links Obama And Wright

Last week we saw the first ad of the campaign cycle linking Barack Obama and his controversial former pastor, Rev. Jeremiah Wright, who is once again making headlines today.

This week brings the second such spot. This new ad, like the last one, uses the Wright/Obama connection to attack a local Democrat. This time around, it's House candidate Travis Childers of Mississippi, who, the ad notes, was "endorsed by liberal Barack Obama."

"...when Obama's pastor cursed America, blaming us for 9/11, Childers said nothing," an announcer says in the spot. "When Obama ridiculed rural folks for clinging to guns and religion, Childers said nothing. Travis Childers – he took took Obama's endorsement over our conservative values. Conservatives just can't trust Travis Childers."
