NRA Targets Obama-Biden in Ongoing Ad Buy (playing in CO, NM, and PA )
WaPo ^ | September 23, 2008 | Ed O'Keefe

Posted on 09/23/2008 7:37:18 PM PDT by Red Steel

The National Rifle Association is likely to spend "in the eight figure range" on radio and television advertisements in the next 42 days as part of its efforts to deter undecided voters from voting for Barack Obama, according to an NRA spokesman. The group will air a series of ads starring group members that openly question Obama's commitment to protecting gun rights. Ads will air on radio stations and during local cable television ad breaks in Colorado and New Mexico through Oct. 5 and in Pennsylvania through Sept. 28, with plans to expand to other battleground states in the coming weeks.

One ad stars former Marine and Iraq war veteran Kurt Rusch. "Like all the guys I fought with in Iraq, I was honored to defend my country and our freedom. But when I got back stateside, I learned that Barack Obama opposes my right to own a handgun for self-defense. It's ridiculous," Rusch says in the spot, adding later in it: "There's no way I'm voting for a president" who would take away "the freedoms that I fought for, that my friends died to defend."

Another ad, called "Hunter", stars Kurt's father, Karl Rusch. "I gotta tell you, with the high cost of gas and just about everything else, we're all feeling pinched," Rusch says. "And now I learn that Barack Obama supports a huge new tax on my guns and ammo."

"Where is this guy from?" Rusch later asks. "He's probably never been hunting a day in his life." He concludes: "You don't have to be bitter to know Barack Obama isn't the kind of change we need."

I saw this ad this evening. WOW!!!! It’s terrific. I hope they can show it often here in PA.

It’s a winner for McCain.

In the next few days, the NY Times and MSNBC will declare the NRA is “dishonest” and “distorting” Obama’s record.

Someone needs to spend a lot of money on investigating and prosecuting voter fraud. IMO, Obama’s Marxist army will do anything to cheat in this election.

I did not know that “bitter clingers” had a video component, and to be honest, it pisses me off, this arrogant SOB...

Those are very good. Just ordinary, down to earth Americans - far smarter and grounded than any of the “educated” snobs Obama falsely thinks make America tick.

Some of the PA coverage will bleed over into the PRNJ, a state where the Second Amendment is close to being a fond memory.

The NRA “targeting” a candidate (in the headline) always seems designed to sound unusually menacing.

It's about time the NRA 'stepped up to the plate' on Hussein and Biden!!!

They just have kept a much, MUCH too low of a profile up until now...

it's time for them to hit, and hit hard before it's too late on those two gun-grabbing, liberal nut-cases!

It’s much more effective now, only 7 weeks from Election Day.

Why waste ammo?
