Hard-Hitting McCain Ad Links Obama to Chicago Political ‘Machine’
by FOXNews.com Monday, September 22, 2008
John McCain’s campaign released one of its hardest hitting ads in this election on Monday, aiming to ratchet up the guilt-by-association game by linking Barack Obama to convicted felon Tony Rezko.
The new spot, “Chicago Machine” also connects the Democratic presidential nominee to three prominent Illinois politicians– former U.S. Commerce Secretary Bill Daley, Illinois state Senate President Emil Jones and Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich — all of whom have faced criticism for questionable ties to businessmen and political power brokers.
The ad claims Obama is “born of the corrupt Chicago political machine,” before calling Jones his “political godfather” and Rezko his “money man.”
Jones and Blagojevich are under an “ethics cloud,” says the McCain camp, relating to investigations into nepotism and favors to political donors by the two pols. As for Daley, the ad suggests cronysim is at play for the former Fannie Mae “lobbyist” and brother of Chicago Mayor Richard Daley.
The ad is to be released nationally. The Obama campaign responded by saying the Democrat is the true maverick when it comes to ethics reform.

Good one!

This is pretty good. It does remind me of the SNL skit of McCain recording ads, which I’m sure was the whole purpose, was to neutralize future ads against Obama. SNL has been carrying Obaminations water from the beginning. The wife watched the Emmy’s last night, and I could hear it from the office. An endless stream of liberal sniping.
Unfortunately, you can only work in so many of Obama’s sleazy connections in 30 seconds. You really need a mini-series.
Episode I. Frank Marshall Davis - Educating Barry
Episode II.Reverend Wright - God D___ America
Episode III. Tony Resko - The bag man commeth
Episode IV. William Ayres - They Blow up so Young
Episode VI. Kenya - He ain’t heavy, he’s my communist / pro-islamic brother.
(You could go on, but you get the point)
Didn’t seem that fluffy to me ... remember it was only 30 seconds ... is that the usual length for a political ad.
aiming to ratchet up the guilt-by-association game
Interesting Fox perspective.
.
The tie-in is (literally) closer to home than that. Guess who owns the empty lot next door? Guess who arranged the sweet financing for the Obamas to buy their house?
Suffice it to say that Obama has a long and intimate relationship with Mr. Rezko.
A few months after Obama became a U.S. senator, he and Rezko's wife, Rita, bought adjacent pieces of property from a doctor in Chicago's Kenwood neighborhood -- a deal that has dogged Obama the last two years. The doctor sold the mansion to Obama for $1.65 million -- $300,000 below the asking price. Rezko's wife paid full price -- $625,000 -- for the adjacent vacant lot. The deals closed in June 2005. Six months later, Obama paid Rezko's wife $104,500 for a strip of her land, so he could have a bigger yard. At the time, it had been widely reported that Tony Rezko was under federal investigation. Questioned later about the timing of the Rezko deal, Obama called it "boneheaded" because people might think the Rezkos had done him a favor.
Talk about your 'stinking fish'....

I LOVE IT!!!
What a GREAT IDEA!
Truly pass it on to the Ruch types and McCain camp.
We need to hit this boy hard.
Here’s the link for my additional excerpt:
The new news on Gov Blago aka Count Blagula is that he is keeping the campaign funds donated to him by a guy who said he got his job because of the contribution!
It would be difficult to do an ad on Obama and it not be negative—he is— and what do people expect McCain to promote Obama. The comment
“aiming to ratchet up the guilt-by-association game” by Fox is stupid. How many people are in prison because they were accomplices? Should they walk because they were only one of the bank robbers and not the one who killed people? We judge people everyday by the associations, if they didn’t agree in values they wouldn’t be close associates.
i think they should hold their fire until the 2 weeks before the election then blast key states with ads about Ayers and Obama’s association with him
