Gun lobby unleashes 'Sopranos'-like on Virginia governor's race -- 'if you know what's good for ya'
Los Angeles Times ^ | October 26, 2009 | Johanna Neuman

It is surely one of the most unusual pitches in this year's gubernatorial elections -- a Tony Soprano-like figure defending New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg's recent efforts to close the gun show loophole and warning Virginians not to get too attached to their Second Amendment freedoms "if ya know what's good for ya."

Bloomberg underwrote a commercial in April that attacked former Virginia Atty. Gen. Bob McDonnell for his pro-gun positions and pushed for the closure of the state's "gun show loophole."

Now Bloomberg is running for re-election, McDonnell is running for governor and the nation's larger gun lobby -- the powerful National Rifle Assn. -- is weighing in.

I don’t guess there is any law that says you can’t take
out a commercial supporting your opposing candidate, and
nothing said about how “Good” it has to be.

Bwhahahahahaha!

Vote for Obama, he signed us all up for health care
and raised our taxes by 300%!
Vote for Obama, he decided to spend trillions while
the economy took a nose dive!
Vote for Obama, he fought to invalidate our efforts
in Iraq, and left our men to rot in Afghanistan!
Vote for Obama, if you don’t want to be targeted
by Acorn and Chicago thugs!
If you like what you got in the first four years,
vote for Obama and see what you get in the next
debacle.

A paid political commercial by Republican Friends of
Obama Inc.

(You Tube seems to have buried these ads and also
the links to You Tube from article return a message “ error occurred, try later.”)

Going directly to Youtube and entering the exact names of the clips , brought them up.
