McCain advertising on Kos
McCain's campaign had this ad pop up on Kos last night -- of all times -- during the Dem debate. The banner on the liberal site urges readers to express their support for the Iraq troop surge.
Given the high traffic Kos got during the debate, a few readers naturally noticed.
"WHAT THE F***?" asked "humboldt joni." "[F]or a blog that focuses on democratic politics and is predominantly anti-war, I find this beyond the f***ing pale. Really. What a f***d up thing to see when I come here to discuss a democratic debate. (Editor's Note: This paragraph was edited for strong language.)
"disgusting."
Added "justice putnam:"
"I'm reminded of a quote from Jess Unruh, then California Speaker of the Assembly. He was asked how he could take money from lobbyists, special interests and Corporations that he was at odds with and still be an honest politician.
"'You have to be able to drink their whiskey, screw their women, take their money and then vote against their bills.'"
"I hope that is what we're doing here with the McCain ad."
Asked why they were advertising on such an unlikely venue, McCain campaign e-director Christian Ferry said, "We purchase banner advertising on different online ad networks and those networks serve ads throughout the Internet. The ad that appeared on the site was not purchased directly from Daily Kos."
The McCain camp also noted that they purchase site-specific ads on such conservative sites as TownHall.com and WeeklyStandard.com
Apparently the Kos banner was purchased via an ad network that buys ads on sites all over the internet that have certain keywords such as "campaign" or "politics." This shotgun approach, one of a few different ways to purchase web ads, is cheaper than buying site-specific ads on pricey sites.
Would love to get a “Cheney for President” ad-popup in KOS and then sit back and watch when that grenade explodes.
Good for McCain :)
WEll, if Jess Unruh says it’s OK . . . .
ROFLMAO!! That would hilarious!
(((PING))))
That is just plain wonderful. McCain playing “peek-a-boo, I see you”.
Good for McCain!!

LOL
Or ads for the “Inconvenient Truth” DVD on HotAir.
anyone get a screen capture?
If, somehow, the “F-word” was removed from the English language, 95% of Liberals would be functionally illiterate.
That is funny! Thanks for the ping!
Good for him! I hope he advertises on DU too. That would just kill them! LOL! Why do I get this feeling he did this purposely just to annoy them! LOL!
