New 527 Formed To Go After Obama
The Stiletto Blog ^ | August 6, 2008 | Stephen Marks

Everyone’s complaining about how lackluster John McCain’s campaign has been. Well, I’m here to shake things up with the launch of a new 527, pH for America, and our first ad, “The REAL Barack Obama,” that will have liberals whooping and hollering “Swiftboat!” and “Willie Horton.”

The “pH” in pH for America stands for “Political Hitman,” which is how I describe my 14 years as an opposition researcher - the polite Beltway euphemism for those who dig up dirt on political opponents - in my book “Confessions of a Political Hitman” (Sourcebooks, 2008).

This 527 was formed to create and disseminate ads to educate the American public about aspects of Obama’s career and character he has been careful to hide so as not to “distract” you from voting for him.

The hard-hitting anti-Gore and anti-Kerry 527 ads I created in 2000 and 2004 were noted by Newsweek, The O’Reilly Factor, Hannity and Colmes, and scores of other major political programs, where I drove liberals crazy.

Hold your fire until he officially gets the nomination please. Hillary's ready to lead on day 1 if he falters.

If you read the entire article, you’ll see this is just the opening salvo. There’s more that will come out after Obama gets the nomination. Hillary waited too long to go negative on Obama and by the time she got traction, the idea had taken hold that Obama had won the “popular vote” and that Hillary was trying to “steal” the election from him. McCain is already at a disadvantage because more people are registered Dems than Repubs, so he (or anti-Obama independent groups) cannot make the same mistake Hillary made. They’ve got to hit him now, hit him hard and keep knocking him down every time he gets up. He has got to spend all his time explaining away controversies from his past instead of campaigning on a pie-in-the-sky future that some people are gullible enough to believe he can deliver.

It would be nice if they could also find the time to pulverize Gore again now, while they’re at it. Its a toss up whether he could have done any more harm as President than he has shilling for the AGW cult. Trying to run the country might have proved a distraction!

The whole story on BO in Illinois has not been told. The Gov will go down,but not until after the election. They have never covered the issue in the national press like the small press in Chicago. Hospitals were a target of curroption and that brings in Michel. Michel is a partner in crime. She didn’t get that job because she was a good administrator. She didn’t get that house because she loved the kitchen.

BING-F***ing-GO!

If we cause Obambi to stumble now, he trips and falls before the comvention and WE lands in a huge pile of sHillary. Think of the day after the convention as the first day of "hunting" season?

Well, that “hard-hitting” ad isn’t gong anywhere. I sure hope they’ve got better than that.

I guess in 3 weeks time, the fireworks is going to begin. I almost feel sorry for the guy.

There is a bitter irony with these kinds of things:

McCain continues to advocate the outlawing of 527s.

Yet, it was 527s that helped defeat Gore in 00 and Kerry in 04.

It is rather a shame that McCain, who advocates outlawing 527s, should be the beneficiary of many of those 527s that he advocates outlawing.

He might have a change of heart as he sees the poll numbers start to shift his way after various 527s including this one start to weaken Obama.

It might get traction with Hannity - he regularly devotes an entire segment of “Hannity’s America” to religious issues, and Obama’s belief system is of particular interest to him. O’Reilly has also said he plans to examine Obama’s belief system more closely. So ...
