I’m surprised. Usually in cases like this, Obama has his cult followers inundate the offending station with irate, semi-coherent phone calls, like they did recently to try to knock hatemongering smear merchant David Freddoso off the air for the crime of committing journalism critical of The One. For whatever reason they’ve decided that won’t work here, so they’re opting for Plan B. Straight out of the Democratic handbook Harry Reid used to threaten ABC’s broadcast license for showing the “Path to 9/11,” here’s Obama lawyer Robert Bauer warning station managers not to air the NRA’s new anti-Obama “Hunter” ad if...

Very classy. Considering McCain's health has been pored over in agonizing detail and he's released 1100 pages of medical records, does this make Barack Obama's health fair game? Since Obama has released one page of his records, I'd say it does. Maybe we should have a look at whether his cocaine abuse and decades of smoking have taken a toll. The public has a right to know, doesn't it? Two liberal groups – one of them directed by a brother of the Democratic Party chairman Howard Dean – will begin running a graphic attack advertisement Thursday morning raising questions about...

A new television ad will begin airing in Colorado this week focusing on Sen. Barack Obama's recent slur against Sen. John McCain and disabled war veterans in a political advertisement. Citizens for Open and Responsive Government (CORG) will begin airing the ad, featuring Lt. Colonel Mike Fairhead of Rogers, AR a retired U.S. Army officer, this week. Fairhead is a disabled Vietnam War veteran and a Purple Heart recipient. The new CORG ad -- titled "Wounded Veterans" -- is a response to an ad that Obama ran last week mocking McCain for not using a computer. (Text of the CORG...

The defining moment in the National Rifle Association's eight-figure advertising offensive against Barack Obama takes place about 15 seconds into a new spot featuring Karl Rusch, a white, middle aged Virginian clad in hunting gear. After claiming that Obama supports "a huge new tax on my guns and ammo," Rusch closes the door of his truck and turns directly to the camera. "Where is this guy from?" he asks. "He's probably never been hunting a day in his life." The spot, the Washington Post points out, is a "huge stretch" - the claim that Obama wants to institute a large...

But the point is clear: If you're a hunter, Barack Obama is not anything like you. And if he doesn't understand your concerns, he sure doesn't deserve your vote. Obama has been fighting the notion that he opposes gun rights, stressing on the stump that he backs Second Amendment protections. His campaign has released a radio ad featuring American Hunters and Shooters Association head Ray Schoenke telling hunters the Democratic nominee won't come for their guns. "The bottom line is this. If you’ve got a rifle, you’ve got a shotgun, you’ve got a gun in your house, I’m not taking...

For two decades, going back to the Willie Horton ads of 1999, we've heard liberals accuse Republicans of race-baiting. Throughout this campaign, there have been endless whispers, suggestions and outright accusations that GOP could/would play the race card because Obama is half-black. Now Barack Obama has found his bizarre version of Willie Horton, and it's . Rush Limbaugh. Obama sneakily tried to air a Spanish-language TV ad telling Latinos that Limbaugh thinks all Mexicans are stupid, Mexican immigrants should all shut up and go home, and that Limbaugh and John McCain are identical twins on immigration. None of it is...

John McCain lashed out Monday at Barack Obama's political pedigree, tying his rival to notorious Chicago machine politics as the Republican struggled to reclaim the advantage that slipped to Mr. Obama as the Wall Street mess has unfolded. In a new ad, Mr. McCain accuses his Democratic opponent of running the same "corrupt Chicago political machine" as convicted felon and Obama patron Tony Rezko and the Daley family, which controls Chicago politics. Mr. McCain's campaign said they are raising the corruption issue because the press has failed to do so. "Senator Obama very directly has introduced the issue of associations...

VENTURA, Calif. (Legal Newsline)-Erin Brockovich, a prominent figure in trial attorney circles, is appearing in ads for a conservative California Republican running for the state Senate. A new campaign ad for Tony Strickland features an endorsement from Brockovich, the outspoken legal clerk whose story was portrayed in a 2000 blockbuster film about how she helped plaintiffs' attorney Ed Masery get a $333 million judgment against Pacific Gas and Electric Company over groundwater contamination in a California desert town. "I am a consumer advocate and I'm a Democrat," Brockovich says in the ad. "But I'm also an independent thinker. And so...

The Obama campaign has written radio stations in Pennsylvania and Ohio, pressing them to refuse to air an ad from the National Rifle Association."This advertisement knowingly misleads your viewing audience about Senator Obama's position on the Second Amendment," says the letter from Obama general counsel Bob Bauer. "For the sake of both FCC licensing requirements and the public interest, your station should refuse to continue to air this advertisement." The ad, "Hunter," conflates Obama's anti-gun stances of the 1990s with his current, more pro-gun, stand, and was chided for inaccuracy in The Washington Post, an item to which Bauer's letter refers.NRA spokesman...

Sen. Joe Biden hit Western Pennsylvania today -- Greensburg specifically -- with his first visit to the area since the Democratic National Convention. Before he began his morning speech, Biden had to compose himself while recalling a gift of two footballs (signed by former Steeler Rocky Bleier) given by late Steelers founder Art Rooney to Biden's two boys in 1972, when they were recuperating from a traffic accident that killed his wife and daughter. Biden recalled the story after he was introduced by Rooney's son, Dan.

The Our Country Deserves Better committee today released the following web-ad highlighting the superior executive experience that the Republican vice presidential candidate,Sarah Palin, holds over the Democrat presidential candidate, Barack Obama. bngvbThe ad also exposes the fact that Obama's supposed strength, his communication skills, are not all that they are so hyped to be.

YOU HEAR THE VOICE FIRST Bob Jump's website lists him as the "secret voiceover talent" for the "Both Ways Barack" attack ad, paid for by 527 group Let Freedom Ring When Marvin Bush, the youngest son of George Herbert Walker and Barbara Bush, celebrated his 50th birthday in 2006, party planners commissioned a short "mockumentary" to entertain guests in the White House ballroom. Here was Marvin in college; there was Marvin in Texas! A prominent basso voice narrated each moment from the little Bush's life. Seated near the celebrant's mother was Rick Reed, who, when not making Bush home movies,...

Two liberal groups – one of them directed by a brother of the Democratic Party chairman Howard Dean – will begin running a graphic attack advertisement Thursday morning raising questions about Senator John McCain’s health. Showing vivid and unflattering images of the fresh scar that appeared on Senator McCain’s face immediately after his last operation for melanoma skin cancer eight years ago, the commercial ends with a screen headline that reads, “Why won’t John McCain release his medical records?” (Mr. McCain, 72, did invite a limited group of reporters to inspect more than 1,100 pages of his medical records in...

Presidential hopefuls John McCain and Barack Obama remain locked in a close battle with less than six weeks remaining until Election Day, according to a national poll. Republican McCain leads his Democratic opponent by 45 to 43 percent -- a statistical dead heat -- according to the Franklin & Marshall College Poll conducted for Hearst-Argyle television stations, including Tribune-Review news partner WTAE-TV.

Barack Obama’s Spanish-language television ad distorting the meaning of old comments by talk-radio superstar Rush Limbaugh is objectionable, but even this ad isn’t as horrifying as the media assault Limbaugh was subjected to five years ago this month. On September 28, 2003, Limbaugh—who had been hired by ESPN to provide a “fan’s perspective” for their Sunday NFL Countdown broadcast—discussed the Philadelphia Eagles’ anemic ’03 start with host Chris Berman and analysts Michael Irvin, Steve Young and Tom Jackson. The discussion quickly turned to Eagles’ quarterback Donovan McNabb’s perceived role in the team’s woes, and the media’s coverage thereof. Limbaugh asserted...

This is a great new ad calling attention to Obama's and Biden's conflicting views on clean coal in America. It's set to upbeat hillbilly music -- just perfect for the coal belt!

The only thing I worry about with ads like this, is that it will force Obama to drop Biden from the ticket before Sarah gets to slap him around too. It's great when all you have to do is show a video of your opponent to make your point.

Los Angeles, CA (LifeNews.com) -- Eduardo Verástegui, the former Mexican singer and actor who starred in the hit movie "Bella," has recorded a new video asking Hispanic voters in the United States to reject Barack Obama because of his pro-abortion views. Verástegui challenges Latino voters to make abortion issues the centerpiece of their voting decisions.In the new video, conducted in Spanish, Verástegui, says Obama is out of step with the overwhelming majority of Hispanics who are pro-life.“We need to put an end to abortion and political candidates play a very important role in this matter,” he says.Verástegui tells viewers...

Guns have become an important issue for Barack Obama’s campaign. Starting around the Pennsylvania primary, Obama and his campaign surrogates began strenuously assuring gun owners that he supports gun ownership, and it appears to be paying off. A poll in August showed that John McCain led Obama among hunters by only 14 percentage points, just about half the 27-point lead that President Bush held over John Kerry in 2004. If McCain had a similar lead, he would be ahead in most polls, particularly in many battleground states.This past weekend, Joe Biden, campaigning in southwest Virginia, called any notion that...

I JUST CAME ACROSS THIS PATHETIC AND UNPLEASANT AD ON YOUTUBE. LOOK: Urge PBS' Jim Lehrer to ask McCain about his health records during Friday's debate: http://www.pbs.org/newshour/letters.html This debate will deal with foreign policy, and McCain's health issues constitute a national security issue, especially when you consider how his secrecy about medical records echoes the Bush administration's legacy of lies. Will McCain's health limit his capacity to make tough decisions regarding diplomacy and military action? We don't know, because McCain is keeping his medical records a tightly held secret, made available to just a handful of journalists for three hours...

McCain ad sends Daley into a gear-grinding frenzy John Kass September 24, 2008 All it took was one TV ad by Republican Sen. John McCain daring to mention the Chicago Democratic Machine—the machine we're told does not exist—to unleash Mayor Chucky. "If people start throwing dirt and mud—remember it comes back and hits you right in the face," said Mayor Richard Daley, snarling, pointing his finger on Tuesday, positively chuckified. "I think, to put my brother Bill in there—they want to put me in there, fine, they put me in there all the time anyway," he said. The McCain ad...

Washington Post religion writer Michelle Boorstein says “a concerted effort to reach into Christian Medialand has intensified recently and will continue beyond the November election.” That means Obama ads on Christian radio stations in Ohio, using a faith-based quote from former Congressman Tony Hall: “As a Christian, Barack believes God calls us to care for those in need.” There’s also a new push to evangelize the Democratic party to Christian artists, and EMI Christian Music Group Grant Hubbard tells Boorstein “I think it would be shocking to a lot of people [that] if you interviewed Christian artists, the split would...

Had the cross-cutting between Obama and Biden been a little quicker to emphasize the absurdity of the contradiction, this one might have reached the sarcastic heights of the “celebrity” ads. No matter. Conservatives will relish it anyway for rubbing Biden’s face in a warm pile. And by pile, I don’t mean a pile of coal.

John McCain didn’t want to respond in kind to Barack Obama’s silly and ignorant attack on McCain’s inability to e-mail, but a 527 group has decided to fill the vacuum on their own. In a 30-second spot called “Wounded Veterans”, Lt. Col. Mike Fairhead asks Obama why he attacks McCain’s war wounds:

Here is a new McCain Web Ad that goes after the conflicting positions of Barack Obama and his running mate Joe Biden on clean coal technology. . . . (see video at link)

FactCheck supposedly exists to look beyond a politician’s claims. Ironically, in its analysis of NRA materials on Barack Obama, these so-called “FactCheckers” use the election year campaign rhetoric of a presidential candidate and a verbal claim by one of the most zealous gun control supporters in Congress to refute facts compiled by NRA’s research of vote records and review of legislative language. There's another possible explanation behind FactCheck’s positions. Just last year, FactCheck’s primary funding source, the Annenberg Foundation, also gave $50,000 to the Brady Center to Prevent Gun Violence for “efforts to reduce gun violence by educating the public...

So now Republicans are what, white militia snipers hiding in the woods shooting at the black guy and then lobbing in the grenades? When did it become a hate crime to suggest that Obama has hideously bad judgment when it comes to his friends and advisors? The New York Times squeals racism, but the ads do not even arguably show a hint of it.

ARLINGTON, VA -- Today, McCain-Palin 2008 released its latest web video, entitled "Where is Obama?" The web video highlights Democrats, Republicans and Hillary Clinton supporters in Chicago speaking to Barack Obama's lack of leadership in the Hispanic Community in Illinois. While Barack Obama promises much for the Hispanic-American community on the campaign trail, these Democrats and Republicans wonder where Barack Obama has been during his years in the Illinois State Senate and United States Senate. The web video will be featured today during a press conference in New Mexico. Video at link

Knuckleheads Barry and Joe poke each other in the eyes; where is the third Stooge in this act?The Obama campaign, with Barack Obama's approval ("I'm Barack Obama, and I approved this ad") published a video that belittles John McCain for his inability to use a computer or send E-mail: an inability due to service-related hand injuries that prevent him from using a keyboard. The ad also belittled middle aged and senior voters in general ... The ad was so reprehensible, in fact, that Senator Joe Biden condemned his own running mate for releasing it.

Washington, DC -- Barack Obama is running a misleading radio ad on the issue of stem cell research -- falsely accusing presidential candidate John McCain of voting against it. The ad, which features a mother of a child with juvenile diabetes, also ignores how adult stem cell research provides the most hope for patients.

OBAMA'S Stem-Cell LIES This is not a debate about stem-cell research. Like most of everything regarding Senator Obama, its about whether or not he is lying. In this case, the Illinois Senator is making a bold faced lie. Obama is claiming that Senator McCain tried to block stem-cell research but facts are not an Obama strong suit. He forgot that this was one of those "maverick" issues where McCain broke with the president .In 2004, he was one of 14 Republicans who signed a letter to Bush urging him to lift restrictions on the research, which they said had the...

But I personally feel that there should be focus on the fact that Senator Obama is attacking a woman with Cerebal Palsy in his response ad. Why is this important?

The National Rifle Association is likely to spend "in the eight figure range" on radio and television advertisements in the next 42 days as part of its efforts to deter undecided voters from voting for Barack Obama, according to an NRA spokesman. The group will air a series of ads starring group members that openly question Obama's commitment to protecting gun rights.
