Romney strikes back with ad featuring Bob Scheiffer

[snappyturtle]

I was watching CBS and an ad came on with Bob Scheiffer with an obvious clip from one of his shows when he was asking Axelrod, "What's happened to 'Hope and Change' ?". I about fell over. Well, into the program this morning Scheiffer said he had just learned Rmoney had bought air time. Later in the program he said that he is not part of the Rmoney campaign and hadn't given his permission to the campaign's use of himself.

I smell desperation!

1. Nobody wants to be his friend.

Rove can't FIND a positive thing to say re Rmoney. It's like a funeral march watching these Sunday Morning shows. Obama must be laughing his ass off.

2. I'm sure Hillary didn't give him permission either...

He is not an honest person.

3. That's for certain but I admit thinking that B. Scheiffer might

even though it wouldn't be bright. It was worth listening to all the anti-Obama show rhetoric to hear him vehemently deny any involvement.

4. Did Schiefer disavow the ad? I have perceived a rightward tilt at CBS.

6. I won't forget that Schiefer is the one who swiftboated Wes Clark in 2008 n/t

16. I read his autobiography

He's definitely not a rightie.

7. He said that he was asking a question (To Plouffe?)

and that the add was done without his knowledge of permission.

8. To Axelrod, I think he said....whatever. nt

[snappyturtle]

9. He disavowed knowledge of it in that he said he didn't give permission. nt

5. I know when campaigns use music without permission

the artist can get it pulled. Is it the same for public figures? Can Scheiffer get an injunction?

[snappyturtle]

10. I thought about that but I doubt he has that much spine. nt

[immoderate]

11. I think it's under "fair use." Same as when we post quotes at DU.

I am not a lawyer.

13. Obama's latest as has Gingrich in it.

It falls under fair use, I think.

[patrice]

12. Whose hope? Whose change? How is there hope in the Rmoney-status-quo? How is it even possible for

Rmoney to change anything, given how he got here?

[proud2BlibKansan]

14. Is that legal?

15. Subliminal whine:

'Hope and Change'

"Hope" everyone stops focusing on Bain and "change" the subject.

"Politics ain't beanbags," Mitt!




That's better.
