Obama Demands All South Carolina TV Stations Pull Ads Against Biden
thehill.com ^ | 02/26/20

Posted on 02/26/2020 8:09:21 PM PST by Helicondelta

Former President Obama's attorneys say they plan to file a cease-and-desist letter over a pro-Trump group's television ad in South Carolina that attacks former Vice President Joe Biden by using a portion of Obama's book

Obama is also demanding that all South Carolina television stations immediately stop running the ad from the Committee to Defend the President, which is aimed at supporting President Trump's reelection bid.

The ad uses excerpts from Obama's 1995 memoir, "Dreams from My Father," in an effort to get the attention of black voters in the state.

"Joe Biden promised to help our community. It was a lie. Here's President Obama," the ad says at the beginning.

It then uses a passage from Obama describing how the black community had been wrongfully treated in the past.

"Plantation politics. Black people in the worst jobs. The worst housing. Police brutality rampant. But when the so-called black committeemen came around election time, we'd all line up and vote the straight Democratic ticket. Sell our souls for a Christmas turkey," Obama says in the recording.

"This spot is a fraudulent use of President Obama's voice," Obama senior adviser Eric Schultz told CNN

Except that the media will fold like a cheap suit and remove the ads.
Because he demanded it.

Why are they wasting their money? Joe’s not going to be the nominee.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Its not about Biden. Its about getting to Obama and destroying his treasonous legacy of weaponizing federal agencies against the President and the People. It makes all of the Democrat candidates , including the future nominee, to distance themselves from Obama.

Its a master stroke of very accurate trolling. Obama has taken the bait, and now Obama , the president of dirty name, will destroy himself in typical Trump invoked fashion.

Obama wants to be the king maker of the upcoming contested Dem convention. This drives a red hot poker right up Obama’s treasonous ass and makes him into a minor player.Excellent work.

Obama must be made an object of ridicule, and that has been initiated.He will go down in history as one of the worst presidents our nation has ever had to suffer.Thats a protection ofagainst any one else who thinks they can subvert our federal agencies into political arms of a planned totalitarian socialist state.

The more Obama howling, the better.

Yeah, but it is okay for that butt wipe Rosenbutt or what ever the heck his name is, to use photos of Trump and his family in his adds, calling him a liar, cheat, thief, etc. Naw, okay for the Communists to do what they want to do in adds. I hate these people worse than I hated the stinking murdering Soviets, because these people use the freedoms of this Republic to rape, pillage, loot, cheat, lie, steal, use, and do whatever they want to do, just to destroy the very foundations of the Republic that gave them the freedoms to destroy it.

Let them take it to court.

This will backfire like the impeachment hoax

If I was Odinga (spit), I would be careful of what bear I poke.

You don’t want to sell your freedom and your future for something as mundane as Christmas Turkey. Christmas Prime Rib is a different story...

Yup. Fair use. Legally he doesn’t have a leg to stand on.

But the stations will pull it because...well, he’s Obama.

“but B.O. was head of Harvard’s Law Review.”

And that’s so funny, considering that his fellow students in Law Review say that Hussein never showed up.

Keep running the ads; increase them. Let the lawsuit happen and with it, the process of discovery happens and we’ll see who is a fraud.

Needs to be consistent and have Bloomberg pull all of his Odumbo ads. But at least the Kenyan admitted that senile Joe is the establishment choice.

Notice whom the plaintiff’s attorney is: Coei Perkins. They should be in jail over their part in the dossier matter.

OK FReepers, I love using Obola’s own words against him, but this is a very deceptive ad, and it is not a product of the actual PDJT campaign, but a PAC.

Obozo was NOT talking about Quid Pro Joe in his book, but a politician named Washington. The ad implies those words were directed at the hair sniffer, but they were not.

This is exactly the type of BS ad that gives the Trump campaign a bad name, and allows the MSM to scream “Fake News” at our side - inoculating all their lies.

"...Sell our souls for a Christmas turkey," Obama says in the recording...

"Sell our souls" interesting choice of wording there BO. (Revelation 13:16-17)

The viewers can figure out that Biden is not a black committeemen. Not deceptive at all.

It’s just a good story to get people to think before they vote

This is probably another example of an ad like the infamous “Daisy Commercial” during the 1964 presidential. There was a howl from Republicans against the ad and it only got aired for like one day and was pulled, but the uproar over it and air coverage got the message out, that Goldwater was a warmonger who would likely start a nuclear war if elected. The message from this ad will resonate, even if pulled quickly!
