"Barack Obama and the Democrats did not inherit the bad economy; they caused it and made it worse," read the full-page ad, which ran Monday in The Gainesville Sun and last week in the Ocala Star-Banner. The ad also has run in other newspapers nationwide, including the Fort Worth Star-Telegram and Salt Lake Tribune.

I’m surprised nobody is claiming racism.

Anything criticizing democrats is such a scandal, yet I remember President Bush being called a racist murderer over Katrina - by top democrats.

I am glad to see that a 521 is working on behalf of TRUTH. It is about time that the left see what was unleased by McLame Feingold.

Steven Thames, 31, of Gainesville, said he and three of his family members are canceling their Sun subscriptions as a result of the ad. He questioned both the ad's similar appearance to a news story and the claims it made.

Here is the Ad in PDF format. No wonder the RATS are upset. It hits them squarely, right between the eyes, with the truth.

I wonder if this is Steven Thames the banker? Or could it be the Steven Thames the mortgage assessor?

Joke or no, it's funny.

60,000 people drop AARP for their support of 0-man and it's not an story outside of the bloggers and talk radio.

FOUR people object to Anti-Obama truth being published and that's NEWS!!!

It's so d*mn funny I'm crying.

They shouldn’t be asking who ran the advertisement, they should be asking why the newspaper’s news organization didn’t report the truth of this on the front page.

Just wait..they can’t help themselves...like the junkies they are, they will eventually fall back into their dirty habit...It’s been such a easy and comfortable crutch for so long.
