Do You know enough to elect Barak Obama?

Presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama has asked the U.S. Justice Department to investigate an ad campaign against him.

The ads, financed by Dallas billionaire Harold Simmons, have been aired in the battleground states of Ohio, Pennsylvania, Virginia and Michigan. The Obama campaign, with help from tens of thousands of supporters, has lobbied TV networks and affiliates to refrain from airing the ads...

[ snip ]

An attorney for the Obama camp called the ad campaign "a knowing and willful attempt to violate the strictures of federal election law".

Typical Commie RAT tactic. They can dish it out but they can’t take it.

It takes weeks to get an Islamic terror video pulled from You Tube. I bet this one comes down very fast.

So...trying to stifle free speech and drawing more attention to the ad (and Ayers...)

McCain would have a hard time arguing against this action, sadly...

16,740 people have seen the ad on youtube. I don’t think their censorship campaign is working on the internet.

Does BHO look a little like Little Stevie Wonder with big ears?

Looks like they’ve also frozen the count.

Wow, what a big baby, again! And I am pretty sure McCain’s camp didn’t even produce this video. BTW did anyone notice he isn’t wearing his flag pin again? I guess it isn’t “in fashion” this week.

It seem like a very good and accurate spot. He may not like it but what is incorrect about it?

Hard to believe a guy as unqualified and unprepared as Obambi has a 50/50 shot at being our next POTUS.

May God have mercy on our country.

Obviously this ad hurts, Obambi and his handlers are definitely terrified of the messiah’s relationship with Bill Ayers, Weather Underground and the Annenburg Project. This ad is awsome, keep producing more and don’t stop.

Remember the burning churches ads?

How about the one in TX “implying” that Bush was responsible for that poor black man being pulled behind the truck and murdered?

Thinks are going to get very ugly after the convention. And no one will be whining to pull down BO’s ads.

What an idiot. Now that he’s making such a big fuss a lot more people will be curious to see it. If he continues, it will be played on the news. This guy is not a genius.

How telling that he isn’t whining about the content of the ad ... just that it may have violated some obscure election law.
