Obama Camp Enraged over Wright Ad; Over $8 Million Raised
GOPtrust.com ^ | Nov 2,2008 | Scott Wheeler

Posted on 11/02/2008 6:01:59 AM PST by Maelstorm

Message from The National Republican Trust PAC
From Scott Wheeler

Dear Supporter:

We have now raised over $8 million in our final emergency effort to stop Barack Obama.

I can tell you that the Obama campaign is absolutely enraged by our activities and our new ad reminding voters of the close relationship between Rev. Wright and Obama.

Two of the major TV networks have temporarily suspended our ad because of complaints by the Obama campaign. They have complained about the pictures used in the ad depicting Obama and Rev. Wright.

Our legal team is fighting back. We expect to be back on the air!

Other pro-Obama supporters are claiming Obama was not really that close to Rev. Wright and that we are exaggerating the relationship.

The facts: Obama has stated that he was converted to Christianity by the Rev. Wright in his late 20s. Previous to that, as a child Obama had been raised by his stepfather as a Muslim.

Obama has described the Rev. Wright as a mentor, friend and advisor. His description, not ours.

Obama stated he could not reject Rev. Wright any more than he could reject the Black Church.

Again, his words, not ours.

All of Obama's attacks indicates this ad is having a powerful effect.

We are planning a final, major effort Monday night on television in key swing states and on Tuesday morning.

Anything you can contribute today will help our important cause.

Time is absolutely critical. Help us defeat Obama — Go Here Now.

Thank you.

Scott Wheeler
Executive Director

P.S. Don't believe the polls. The AP recently asked poll respondents if they really were undecided and might still switch their vote. One in 7 — nearly 15% — said they still really hadn't decided. This means the election can still be won by McCain. Obama can be defeated. You can help us make that happen by Going Here Now or call our donor hotline at 1-866-957-1467.

You know I was reading that the obama was ready for the Wright flap. IT was coming from a hillary insider that basically laid it all out there. In fact there were quite a few things they were ready for that McCain didn’t engage in. Instead he picked Sarah palin and knocked them off guard.

I’m wondering now if McCain was smart staying out of it and leaving it to others to address. Maybe this is how you do it in the Military. Similar to how you dont line up with red coats in a straight line and just march forward.

I think McCain would have an effective ad if they just put Joe the Plumber in an ad asking people to Vote for John McCain and slamming spread the wealth. The one thing that the McCain campaign could have done better is controlling the buzz.

Me too Allegra. I am still kind of sad that this many are foaming at the mouth for an obvious narcissistic pathological liar. I mean they are under some sort of spell it’s so ridiculous. I watch how people act and I just think, “Dear God, what happened to reason?” I mean you might disagree with McCain, or even Palin, but even us that LOVE Sarah aren’t in some sort of blind manic obsession over her!

It’s all so surreal. Nothing about this campaign has been right and it’s become downright frightening.

I just found out the other day that Hitler only received 1/3 of the vote, but somehow got into power. He had the media in the bag. I’m afraid of that here.

1. On Feb19, 2008, Chris Matthew of Hardball interviewed Obama supportor, Senator Kirk Watson, and asked twice,” Can you name one accomplishment of Sen. Obama in the US senate?” He could not name even one!  After being asked if he was considering running for President, his own wife said that "It's way too soon, he hasn't done anything yet!" (Caught on YouTube) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nyDqQW2adPk.  In the same interview, Obama admits that he has "served 8 years in complete obscurity," again on YouTube, and again admitting he has no experience...  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L1syR8iV3G0.  Less experience than GOVERNOR Palin (who is also Commander in Chief of the Alaskan National Guard).  Like it or not, America is the last standing "SuperPower" and with Obama's finger on the Nuclear trigger that is a scary, frightening thought.  Obama's own admitted experience is as an ACORN COMMUNITY ORGANIZER!  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XJurYbkuxTQ.  In other words, HE HAS BEEN DIRECTLY INVOLVED WITH THE GROUP THAT IS WIDELY KNOWN TO BE REGULARLY COMMITTING VOTE FRAUD ACROSS THE COUNTRY!  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ez6kKPcYbM0.  Not only that, NO ONE HAS DENIED THAT THE OBAMA CAMP HAS "DONATED" OVER $800,000 to a VOTE FRAUD ORGANIZATION!

What did you NEVER hear reported by the Obama media?  The original "bailout" program by the Democrats in Congress was fought against by Republicans BECAUSE IT CONTAINED A PROVISION TO PROVIDE BILLIONS OF TAXPAYER DOLLARS TO ACORN!  THE VOTE FRAUD ORGANIZATION THAT DEMOCRATS IN CONGRESS SUPPORT!

2.  Obama was the second largest recipient of campaign contributions (and all of the top 3 were Democrats) for the mortgage finance companies, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac that caused the financial mess.  And the DEMOCRATS blocked the financial reforms that the Republicans tried to get passed http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_MGT_cSi7Rs Funny how there has been a media BLACKOUT (except Fox News) on how the DEMOCRATS CAUSED THE MORTGAGE PROBLEM THAT DESTROYED HOME VALUES AND DESTROYED 401(K) retirement portfolios! [FN1]

3.  Democrats NEVER really cut taxes, even when they "spread the wealth around."  Clinton promised to cut middle class taxes in 1992, but that never happened and the media never questioned or challenged it.  Does anyone really believe that Democrats will ever really reduce taxes?  You can't really be that naive.  Even if Obama were telling the truth and had every intention of cutting taxes, the President can not write legislation and from a Democrat Congress that has ALREADY PROMISED TO RAISE TAXES what kind of bills do you think a President Obama would be given to sign?  Stop believing the lies.  That's all they are is lies, and why is it that everyone keeps forgetting that the political party that always "promises" to help is always the one looking to take everything they can. [FN2]  I was SHOCKED to hear Barak's own words, NOT REPORTED IN THE MEDIA but caught on YouTube, where he admitted in San Franscisco that he was going to INTENTIONALLY BANKRUPTS THE COAL INDUSTRY IN AMERICA!  An industry that provide almost 50% of America's electrical power.  This is pure INSANITY!  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hdi4onAQBWQ

4.  Google shows some very scary connections to Obama and what the "Main Stream" media is trying to hide.  What friends do you have?  Do you make friends and associations with people who hate what you believe in, and who regularly attack and try to undermine your family and everything you find important?  Of course not, the friends you have are the people that you at least have some kind of common ground with.  Even if you don't agree with them on everything.  Your friends, good or bad, are a reflection of who you are.  And Obama is no different.  How about taking a few minutes and doing a Google search for "Obama's Communist Friends"?  You might be shocked to find that it is well documented who Obama really is thorugh his friends.  [FN3]  The scary thing is that THERE IS VIDEO OF OBAMA CAMPAIGNING, USING TAXPAYER MONEY, FOR HIS COMMUNIST COUSIN IN KENYA, RAILA ODINGA, WHO THEN ENGAGED IN MASS MURDER AND SLAUGHTER AFTER HE NARROWLY LOST THE ELECTION!  http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=Q1P_P8lBCsE   More information on Fox News reporting the truth:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RvmmG7dQMLc&NR=1  This may be one of the most frightening admissions by Obama that the media isn't reporting, he wants a special "civilian national security" force in America, better funded and organized than our own military.  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tt2yGzHfy7s  This should scare everyone in America.  This sounds like Fascism and totalitarianism.

Want something even scarier that the "main stream" outlets of ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, and MSNBC are covering up?  Obama ORIGINALLY RAN FOR STATE SENATOR IN ILLINOIS IN 1996 IN THE "NEW PARTY" WHICH WAS THE NAME FOR THE DEMOCRATIC SOCIALISTS OF AMERICA...  Again ONLY reported on Fox News WITH DOCUMENTATION TO PROVE IT!!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OJ1jLxpfYCs.   The "Weatherman Underground," which Obama long-time friend and domestic terrorist Bill Ayers has a claim to fame, split from the "New Party" some time later.  Just Google, “Obama and New Party,” see for yourself.  And the Socialists favorite slogan?  "Change!"  See the scary list of terrorists and socialists that support "Obama's" platform for "change".   http://www.jeffhead.com/obamacircle.htm. Further, Fox News, the ONLY news program reporting anything at all about Obama did a 6 minute discussion with comments from Obama that talks about how he wants to turn America into a SOCIALIST NATION!  Again, see it for yourself on YouTube.  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yzkXkY5wNmg.

5.  Obama wants to make the 12 - 20 million illegals in America citizens ASAP and then add health care.  He wants OUR TAXES AND JOBS TO PAY FOR IT ALL!  Obama's own AUNT IS AN ILLEGAL ALIEN who has been ordered out of the country and LIVING ON WELFARE IN THE U.S.  However, Obama PRETENDS that he didn't know his own Aunt was living in the U.S. illegally???  http://elections.foxnews.com/2008/11/01/barack-obamas-kenyan-aunt-living-illegally-boston/ How much more of an economic disaster can he and his socialist democrat counterparts do?

6.  US Weekly, a reasonable weekly magazine just released an article where they review "Barak Obama" and it is clear that they are scared.  Their eyes were finally opened when the followed him on the campaign trail in South Carolina.  They saw his race-baiting, white hating rants and insanity for the first time.  They saw all of "Jeremiah Wright" and the "I Hate Amerca" side of Barak Hussein Obama come through that he has so completely lied to the public about and they have documented it.  Now, they have also loaded their magazine with a LOT more information that shows you just how completely perverse and sick the "main stream" media outlets of ABC, CBS, NBC, MSNBC, and CNN have become in trying to hide the real man who presents the biggest risk to America and the world since the Civil War.  Read it for yourself on their front page.  http://www.usweekly.com/

Forward this to 50 people to pass on to 50 people!

Had this ad been run 3 weeks ago, a torrent of free advertising via the DBM would have been unleashed to counter an defuse it.

It would have been rendered either ineffective or a McCain “liability” by now.

This was a “late closing” campaign, so waiting ‘til the last 72 hours was wise.

Man you have that right. This election is pinnacle. Obama will be looking for major payback. He will raise corporate rates and that will force 15-20% cuts in workforce and that will cause unemployment to spike and that will feed the downward spiral and he and the Democrats will use that as an excuse to tax and spend even more saying they need to help the people who are hurting. Then of course they will use the pain and misery to attack Republicans. It is the same old game except this time it is an end game.

I aplaude McCain for not wanting to do this himself as he is an honorable guy.

By making that statement you are implying that the organization running the ad is dishonorable. There is nothing dishonorable about telling the truth regarding a presidential candidates character and qualifications, in fact it would come under a citizen duty. Mac is risking an American coup by refusing to open the doors of bambi's past just so he can take the "high road." Well I say freedom and America's security outweigh mac's image and I am disappointed that Mac does not see that.

I'm with you. Keep your powder dry, because we will not capitulate to Communism without a fight. And I suspect we conservatives are better prepared as fighters. :)

McCain has been fairly good about telegraphing his every move to Obama. Hell they announce their strategy to the press a week before.

I don’t mind in McCain taking the high road on this issue....especially when he knows that there are PAC’s and 527’s that will (and are) taking up the Wright ads.

It’s very surreal. If it’s any consolation, though, I was talking to some people at GOP headquarters the other day, and they said that the GOP is prepared for the “election” to go on for days if not weeks. In other words, when McCain wins, the Dems are going to start filing legal challenges and attempt to get Obama into power one way or another. But the GOP is prepared for this and Obama’s not going to get away with it.
