CBS News' Michelle Levi reports that a PAC called Our Country Deserve Better is now running an ad that is essentially a compilation of most of the character and association attacks made against Barack Obama throughout the year.
The ad, "Obama's Wrong Values," began running Sunday night in Reno, Nevada and has since expanded across the state. The group plans to air the spot in Colorado starting tomorrow and run it in Michigan – where McCain has pulled his advertising – by the end of the week.
According to a PAC spokesman, the group has already spent just under $100,000 in Nevada and Colorado to run the spot. The group said its budget in Michigan is "$500,000 or higher." It said it has plans to expand to Ohio and Pennsylvania, adding that its funding comes largely from a large number of small donors.
The anti-Obama group says it is kicking off a two week "Stop Obama Tour," which will include rallies, starting tomorrow.
According to its web site, the group has one objective: "to defeat Barack Obama in the 2008 presidential election."
They promise they "won’t be subtle or vague - America’s future is at stake, and it’s time someone stood up to Barack Obama and told the American people why this man cannot, and must not, serve as our next Commander-in-Chief."
The 30 second spot opens with a narrator saying "Barack Obama seems to have different values from most Americans." As he says this, the Democratic nominee is spotlighted without his hand on his heart during the Pledge of Allegiance.
"His supporters put up Cuban flags with the murderous leftist Che Guevara in Obama's campaign offices," the narrator continues. "Obama's campaign received $33,000 in illegal donations from Palestinians living in the Middle East. A top official of the terrorist group Hamas endorsed Obama's campaign. And who can forget these hateful sermons from Obama's pastor of over 20 years."
At this point, Rev. Jeremiah Wright is shown saying "God Damn America."
Watch:
Ping!
Better yet. Vote for Palin and don’t even think about the other two.
Has anyone in the battleground states seen this ad on TV?
This is a great ad. It needs to be spread around!
“Michael Savage thinks the election is being thrown by McCain.
Anyone agree?”
Savage is a doom and gloom tool. Not once in this entire year have I heard him say the solution to our problem is to vote every moron out of office. He is a ratings whore, which is his job.
I cannot stand him, but I will fight to the death to allow him to continue spewing his garbage.
That wasn't the Pledge...it was the National Anthem.
Saying anything against the record, background or associations of THAT ONE is considered “racist” and forbidden to be brought to the light of truth.
Absolutely GREAT ad!
It is about time to use the nuclear weapon against Obama, Jeremiah Wright. However we need to use it on a much larger scale and in more states.

I can't believe I never saw this video!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It's at an Obama rally and abortion protesters heckle him and one of his supporters yells out that his mother should have had an abortion. And our rally’s are vile?
No
And how many news organizations will knuckle under to them?
Not many I'll wager, so then the truth squads will turn to violence.
Things are about to heat up and the true nature of what the Obama Campaign truly means for America will be revealed.
Hang in there! We're placing the Michigan ad buys the past few days so within a couple days the ads should start appearing there. First Upper Peninsula and then spreading through the rest of the state.
We might go into Ohio and Pennsylvania if we raise enough money. We pledged to wage the fight in Michigan, our supporters donated for this effort, and we have to honor our commitments to them.
We will do our darned best to get this up in Pennsylvania wiithin the next week. Fingers crossed.
Yes, but it didn't start airing on TV until Sunday Night in Reno. Then on Monday it was statewide in Nevada.
Next it will start being seen in Colorado, and then Michigan, and then... ??? (we'll see)
Good. This is the juice we need.
"I would have liked to have heard a little more of that “God damn America” rant. They cut it a bit short there. But it’s better than nothing, and if they are funding it in states where McCain can’t afford to advertise, so much the better."
"We have heard the full Wright rant, but most people probably don’t even know about it, so it can’t hurt."
This ad is also going to be a part of the ad mix:
