Obama ad goes to war with abortion survivor
WorldNetDaily ^ | September 20, 2008 | Drew Zahn

Posted on 09/22/2008 7:42:00 AM PDT by DaveyB

In the increasing flurry of this election season's negative political ads, the Barack Obama campaign produced a TV commercial that not only attacks Republican rival John McCain, but also takes aim at an unusual target: a 31-year-old woman who was born alive after her mother's botched abortion.

Obama's commercial predictably takes shots at the GOP campaign, calling McCain's ads "the sleaziest ever, truly vile." But when the screen shows clips of abortion survivor Gianna Jessen and the ad she made asking Obama to reverse his stance on born alive infant protection legislation, the Obama ad calls Jessen's appeal "a despicable lie."(snip)

(snip) Jessen herself released a statement saying, "Mr. Obama is clearly blinded by political ambition given his attack on me this week. All I asked of him was to do the right thing: support medical care and protection for babies who survive abortion – as I did."

GO to link to view the ads - quite illuminating!

I guess it is called swift-boating when someone reveals your record. From the Kerry playbook - attack those who speak of your record and play the victim.

I find it amazing that the liberals cry attack when their own words and actions are used against them.

SHOW me the lie, B. Hussein, and I will HAVE to believe you.

Until then I consider YOU to be a truly vicious, savage, lying a-hole.

Wow, I just submitted this to Drudge. It surely will backfire on Obambi, if people pay attention to this issue.

Obama is scared of Palin...and Palin hangs out with McCain.

Yes, “it” IS truly vile -

“it” = 0bama’s position on abortion survivors.

This is typical of libs I’ve discussed this issue with. My accusation is “vile and absurd”, not 0bama’s actual position.

The left is flailing and gnashing their teeth over Palin. Here’s why:

John 15:18-25
John 3:19-21
2 Cor 2:14-18

An example of what they know to be “right” infuriates them because it bothers their consciences.

I can't believe the Obama campaign is this stupid, but I guess they are. If ever an ad should have been ignored by Obama this is the one. There was no way he could say anything that would result in a positive for his candidacy. The very fact that he replied is an indicator of how flawed his presidency would be. Can you imagine the kind of replies he would give to a foreign country? Wow!
