UNIVERSITY PLACE, Wash. — A Bible verse taped to a whiteboard in Floyd Brown’s office that he uses to track his efforts to attack Senator Barack Obama reads, “That is why for Christ’s sake I delight in weakness, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties.”
Mr. Brown, 47, a 6-foot-6 bear of a man is perhaps best known for his involvement with the Willie Horton television advertisement that helped sink Michael S. Dukakis’s candidacy in 1988. Mr. Brown has had much in his career to be delighted about as the source of scores of conservative assaults on Democrats that have earned him their lasting enmity.
Mr. Brown is back to his trade of bludgeoning a Democratic candidate for president, producing an innuendo-laden advertisement that is being televised this week in Michigan, albeit sparsely on cable, questioning Mr. Obama’s religious background.
The Obama campaign singled out Mr. Brown on Thursday as emblematic of the threat that independent groups on the right posed to him. On Friday, Mr. Obama, at a news conference in Jacksonville, Fla., again named Mr. Brown while defending his campaign’s rejection of public financing for the general election.
Yet if Mr. Brown’s struggles are any indication — he has so far failed to raise much money — it is not clear that Republicans will be able to repeat their successes in 2004, when independent groups like the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth had a significant role in undermining Senator John Kerry’s campaign.
“It’s all about reaching a tipping point,” Mr. Brown said. “Swift Boats achieved the tipping point. I was part of a team that reached the tipping point in 1988. In 1992, we didn’t reach it. We might not this time. But that doesn’t mean we’re not going to try.”

Comment:
New York Times are really a bunch of low life scum bags when it comes to fair reporting.
Just my lowly red state wannabe opinion.
Typical lazy NYT reporter. The Willie Horton ad was produced by a Democrat for use against another Democrat during the primaries. Republicans then picked it up and used it in the general election. But let's not let facts get in the way of the story.
The Willie Horton ad didn’t sink Dukakis’ scampaign.
His numbers were inflated. All Democrat pollings are oversampled. None of the blow outs were predicted to be blowouts for the Democrats.
The photo of him in a tank to “toughen up” didn’t work.
Don’t forge that Michael Moore fudged too when he referenced the clip in his fraud of a documentary.
The second spot highlights a Roman Catholic elementary school roster from Indonesia showing that Mr. Obama registered as a Muslim.
I was unaware that he had registered at that school as a Muslim. That's proof that he is not only a Muslim but he's a liar!
We need someone to fund a progrm that hires 10 Arabic women in Burkas that attend every public event that Hussein is in between now and the election and to make sure they get photographed with him every time.
These women need to to nothing other than be there, get photographed with Hussein, and never talk to the press.
If they’re in burkas, why would they need to be Arabic (or women, for that matter?)
Before joining the Times, Mr. Luo was a national writer at The Associated Press.
Previously, he was a police reporter on Long Island for Newsday.

Michael Luo
Michael’s opinion is faith is not steering political conversation all that much. Instead, a few key “index issues” tend to drive evangelicals instead of a broader faith discussion.
New York Times reporter Michael Luo took an unsympathetic look at Romney’s political makeover in Tuesday’s “Meet the New Mitt Romney, The Anti-Insider Populist.”
(Back on December 20, Luo wondered whether “Romney had jerked the wheel too hard to the right” in appealing to conservatives.)
"index issues" is Socialist cover for "abortion" and "homosexuality".
And "evengelicals" is Socialist doublespeak for "Christians". Maybe one day Google will have a button we can click to translate Socialist-speak.

Correct, I thought that too, but you might as well get some authenticity and therefore plausible deniability for the money.
