Wow, the GOP is running one of it's most racist ads in history tonight...
Anyone seeing the Rev Wright ad they are running tonight?

WOW!!!

Talk about these losers finally coming out of the closet. That ad makes Willy Horton look innocent.

The Republican party just buried itself for a decade with this one.

3. Thanks to John McCain this campaign has seperated the bigots from the non-bigots.

12. here in NC too.
I've seen it several times on MSNBC!:mad: What Repukes don't get though, is that the majority of Americans don't give a hoot about Wright. What's important for them is to have a job, health care, and that they can afford to pay their mortgage. I'm disgusted by the ad, but I doubt it will hurt Obama any. Rev. Wright is old news, and frankly people are just sick of hearing about him.

17. It will kill McCain and the Republicans for a generation
It's racist as hell.

The Wright thing didn't work the first time it was tryed. The only people who loved it were rabid racists like Michael Graham and Jay Severine.

30. they have ads in palm beach saying "obama wants big government healthcare"
how we won't have choice of doctors and
bureaucrats will decide what care you'll
have.

so what'll be different about that? that's
the way it is with all these rotten hmo's.

i think it's a poor idea to remind people
of the state of health care in this country
if you're a member of the party that pretty
much created the mess to begin with...

7. They just buried themselves
Probably lost McCain some more states.

Not to mention a lot of senate seats as well. That ad is extremely transparent to a lot of people that were alive for the civil rights movement.

Crap, that was years before my time and I can read between the lines on it.

4. Do they really think this crap will win them the election in the next 24 hours?
They've been running for days and most polls have moved towards Obama, even if only slightly.

26. Many more than that here in Virginia!
For awhile, it was on at every commercial break. Sometimes the Obama tax calculator ad would follow it, but not always. Somebody on McCain's side has some money! Pure sleaze!

34. It would not surprise me to learn
after the dust settles, that McCain is blatantly violating public financing laws.

Good think Barack did not agree to accept public financing - he would have been drowned in a sea of attack ads!

As Elizabeth Dole is about to find out as well.

13. I have a felling they just gave a lot of southern states to Obama
Anyone thats African American or even hispanic can see right through that ad.

The right wants to claim we are past this shit?

We may be but they certainly are not.

10. Seems to me that the oversaturation is going to PISS people off!
Like the damn auto and live calls I keep getting from republicans... over and over.. and the annoying ads, it will go against them. People will get pissed off. It's like those songs on the radio that they play over and over, until you totaly hate the song and the artist.

MAJOR problem playing that shit over and over.

14. Ran at least 3 times on Countdown. At least they're wasting money.
Who the hell watching Countdown is undecided, and if they are who is going to decide to vote for McCain after seeing that?

:crazy:

16. That ad is SO ridiculous. Especially at the end when you see two nice-looking, non-scary people
smiling out at you. It makes their 'Too Radical' and 'Too Risky' tag lines seem like a big joke.

What a PATHETIC thing for them to spend thousands of dollars on. :eyes:

Meanwhile, Obama has the best GOTV effort in history.

Stupid, stupid Republicans.

19. I JUST saw it
Edited on Mon Nov-03-08 11:05 PM by texastoast
And I thought to myself, "How sad it must be to be a Republican with that airing, trying to scare people with the boogeyman."

What did they think? That the fear card would work again? Do they really think the American people are that totally fucking stupid?

They have nothing to offer but fear. How awful it must be to feel like you have to go to the polls and vote for a party who would put out something so very lame and hateful and totally irrelevant.

Just because Obama listened to Reverend Wright does not mean he paid attention.

Republican idiots.

29. On a nasty cycle in Miami
There are a number of nasty ads running one right after the other in Miami - split b/t the Presidential and local House races. Been going on all weekend.

32. It's all over IA too.
It's on MSNBC and Monday Night Football.

I've run out of soft things to throw at the TV.
