Excellent Video!

Here is a new John McCain ad entitled, "Ambition," which effectively attacks Obama for both his relationship with William Ayers and the Democrats culpability in the whole mortgage collapse. . . . . (Watch Video)

The NRA endorsed McCain/Palin today (no kidding), and in honor of the event, ran a full page ad in USA Today. They beat Obama over the head with a copy of a Hillary mailer questioning Obama's position on guns. She won the votes of those white, blue-collar bitter-clingers in rural areas, and the NRA thinks it can pull them over to McCain's side with this ad.

Not sure why the McCain camp said yesterday that Ayers and Wright were off the table. This is ad shows that Ayers, at least, is very much on the table, and the legs are starting to give way. Jeremiah Wright is an even juicier target given Obama's longstanding membership at the church. Expect the Wright ads in about a week. For now, this does a pretty good job packing in all the Obama-loves-terrorists facts in in 90 seconds.

You mean the Messiah from Hope and Change, Illinois lies? One of those scenes was from the first Presidential forum in which Obama denied having supported withholding medical care from infants who have the misfortune to have survived a botched abortion. His campaign had to admit the next day that it was the folks who were lying but The One. That's change you can count on.

Visit site for video. Sorry. FR doesn't all embed code.

The NRA is going up with its second wave of advertising against Obama, focused in Virginia, North Carolina, Florida, Ohio, Minnesota and Michigan. One television ad, which will also air in Spanish, features a former Texas police officer tying gun issues to illegal immigration, saying: “Families should be able to defend themselves against rapists, drug dealers and other criminals illegally crossing our border.” It’s unclear how widely this spot will air, but it’s supposed to go up on TV and radio today. The NRA claims that it will spend "8 figures" on broadcast advertising this cycle.

Of course, we're at the point in the election when any criticism will become racist. The Democrats have tried to spin their anti-surge positions and use the success of the surge to their advantage, saying even George Bush supports their position now. The truth is we wouldn't be where we are to even spin it that way without the surge. How sick are these people?

Talk about outrageous! Could you even imagine if a conservative group were to run dead Obama ad? Could you even imagine? The liberal California Nurses Union is running an ad showing John McCain's heartbeat flatline. Dead McCain. Then they smear Governor Sarah Palin for the rest of the ad:

Ace was right. The bailout vote is over. The President signed the bill. And the Republicans opened up a big, industrial-sized can of Whoop-Ass on the Democrats for destroying the mortgage industry and the economy. This ad need to run every day in every battleground state from now until the election. McCain needs to run against Congress and say that while he is in favor of bi-partisanship, the Democrats are most assuredly not. You want change? You want a Congress that will not throw away north of $700 Billion in taxpayer money, only to rubber-stamp come January another $1 Trillion...

Here's the video:

Here's the video:

The ad is actually called "Embarrass," but Clown fits. This is a nice little hors d'oeurve before the big debate tonight. Just a little reminder that when it comes to gaffes, Joe Biden turned pro in 1972, right around the time Sarah Palin was learning how to shoot and kill big game. The media have set the bar nice and low for Sarah and nice and high for Plugs. Thanks guys. Check's in the mail. link

Great ad

When I asked Martinez the rationale for changing grade six to kindergarten, she said that groups like Planned Parenthood and the Cook County Department of Health — both major contributors to the bill — “were finding that there were children younger than the sixth grade that were being inappropriately touched or molested.”… After we discussed other aspects of the bill, I told Martinez that reading the bill, I just didn’t see it as being exclusively, or even mostly, about inappropriate touching. “I didn’t see it that way, either,” Martinez said. “It’s just more information about a whole variety of things...

Here's the video:

This may be a real shot in the arm for McCain. The people obviously loathe this bailout, precisely because the government is wasting our money bailing out a system that the government corrupted in the first place. If we add gasoline to the fire by electing Obama, a break-the-bank liberal spender of mythical proportions, we are done for. Obama will ruin us. McCain can stop the bleeding.

Here's the audio:

McCain might as well just flat out call Obama corrupt. This is hardball offense and is a good contrast between McCain the reformer who will clean up Washington versus the slimiest most corrupt type of Washington politician.

Here's the video of the new ad:

McCain Ad using debate material "John is right"

I’m surprised. Usually in cases like this, Obama has his cult followers inundate the offending station with irate, semi-coherent phone calls, like they did recently to try to knock hatemongering smear merchant David Freddoso off the air for the crime of committing journalism critical of The One. For whatever reason they’ve decided that won’t work here, so they’re opting for Plan B. Straight out of the Democratic handbook Harry Reid used to threaten ABC’s broadcast license for showing the “Path to 9/11,” here’s Obama lawyer Robert Bauer warning station managers not to air the NRA’s new anti-Obama “Hunter” ad if...

The only thing I worry about with ads like this, is that it will force Obama to drop Biden from the ticket before Sarah gets to slap him around too. It's great when all you have to do is show a video of your opponent to make your point.

You mean a community organizer who preached radicalism in Chicago schools with his Bill Ayers doesn't understand the economy?

WASHINGTON (AFP) — Democratic vice presidential hopeful Joseph Biden said in an interview aired Monday that a campaign ad which mocked Republican John McCain's inability to use a computer was "terrible." The veteran Delaware senator, who adds foreign policy heft to the ticket of Democratic nominee Barack Obama, was asked about the controversial political commercial in a CBS news interview. "I thought that was terrible by the way," said Biden, when asked about a campaign ad which made fun of McCain's admitted lack of ease with computers. "I didn't know we did it, and if I'd had anything to do...

Excellent ad!

Well, I'm sure this will cause a furor on the Left, but the main point is true. Obama wants to talk with Chavez and others without precondition. Here's the ad with transcript and ad facts provided by the McCain Campaign:

Here are two great new ads from the McCain Campaign today:

Quick turnaround on this one. Biden says paying higher taxes is a patriotic act. Yesterday, Sarah Palin took his words and beat him like a rented mule. Today, the McCain ad guys slap them around a little more. Nice.

Unfortunately, the ad does not describe Obama's donations from Frannie and Freddie.

You knew an ad would be coming on this issue, because Obama was #2 on Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac contributions. Here's the ad:

Washington, DC -- A so-called Catholic group that supports Barack Obama is running a new television ad in battleground states claiming Sen. John McCain is not pro-life on abortion. The ad doesn't mention any abortion-related votes but claims McCain voted against supporting pregnant women and supports troops in Iraq.

Washington, DC -- A new pro-life group that features a late-term abortion survivor is running a national television advertisement against presidential candidate Barack Obama. The ad takes Obama to task for his votes against a bill to care for survivors of such abortions when he was in the Illinois legislature. The new group, BornAliveTruth.org is a joint effort between Gianna Jessen, who survived a saline abortion decades ago, and pro-life blogger Jill Stanek.

This is too dang funny. The libs in this ad are unreal.

A new ad from the Obama campaign ridicules John McCain for not using the Internet, perhaps not realizing that McCain’s war injuries leave him unable to use a keyboard. This ad comes on the heels of Obama’s ‘lipstick on a pig’ controversy, which is still fueling late night talk shows. The lipstick controversy came on the heels of another Obama gaffe, when he artlessly referred to “my Muslim faith.” The Obama gaffes are piling up, and we’re not even counting his VP pick, Biden, who himself is racking up an impressive number of ‘oops’ moments. Poor Obama is definitely having...

At 122 seconds, it is one of the longest adverts ever shown. Advertising the little brown Hovis loaf, which was first sold 122 years ago, it follows a 13-year-old boy through 12 decades of British history and will be shown for the first time on Friday, in the middle of ITV's Coronation Street. This scene is one stop on the boy's extraordinary journey and vividly brings a bustling Victorian street back to life.

this is a GREAT ad and really speaks to the pathetic mindset of Obama

Obama has released a new radio ad attacking McCain's positions on abortion, labeling them as extremist. Here are some quotes on the ad's content from the Political Punch: "As a nurse practitioner with Planned Parenthood," says a woman's voice, "I know abortion is one of most difficult decisions a woman will ever make. I'm Val Baron. Let me tell you - if Roe v Wade is overturned, the lives and health of women will be put at risk. That's why this election is so important. John McCain's out of touch with women today. McCain wants to take away our right...

Barack Obama has launched a broadside against John McCain’s opposition to abortion rights and moved one of the most divisive issues in modern American politics to the airwaves on a large scale for the first time in this presidential campaign. “Barack Obama voted against a bill that would have protected infants born alive having survived an abortion attempt," said Diaz. "He has offered misleading statements on the issue and is now trying to confuse voters by attacking Senator McCain."“

John McCain went to the vault from the Democratic primaries and found a treasure trove of comments from Democrats on the unreadiness of Barack Obama to lead the nation. It includes the comments we’ve seen before from Hillary Clinton and Joe Biden, but adds Chris Dodd and others — including perhaps the most effective spokesman:

By Michelle Malkin  •  August 26, 2008 04:41 PM I noted this morning that the Obama campaign’s Chicago-style thug effort to shut down the independent ad on Bill Ayers is part of the larger effort to intimidate conservative donors and curtail the free speech of The One’s critics.It’s getting uglier, people. Obama’s lawyer has sent a second letter to the Justice Department calling for the head of Dallas billionare Harold Simmons, who funded the Ayers ad that the Obama campaign doesn’t want the public to see.Feel the chill: Obama general counsel Bob Bauer today sent a second, sharper letter to the Justice...

Sen. Barack Obama is warning TV stations and asking the Justice Department to intervene in an attempt to block the airing of an ad by a non-profit group that links him to an unrepentant domestic terrorist. The spot by the American Issues Project questions Obama's ties to William Ayers, a founder of the Weather Underground organization who boasted of a series of bomb attacks at the Pentagon and U.S. Capitol four decades ago. The Associated Press said Obama's "going-for-the-jugular approach" was the kind of response many Democrats complained Sen. John Kerry lacked when he was confronted with the charges of...

Nice ad manages to bite back on Obama’s critique of McCain’s wealth while highlighting Obama’s own big money hypocrisy.

Why was Hillary Clinton passed over? Video at link.

Supporter -- Yesterday, a right-wing smear group launched a full-fledge attack against Barack, pulling in every baseless lie and re-hashed false assertion in their playbook. Not only that -- it turns out the ad may be illegal. Campaign finance experts are weighing in about violations of election law. And the ad is so ridiculous that CNN and even Fox News have both refused to run it. This is exactly the kind of politics Barack is running to change. Unfortunately, some TV stations in Virginia are running the ad right now. Contact stations in Virginia and tell them this kind...

It's not only funny for the Affirmative Action slam, it gives Hillary voters a real reason to vote for Johnny Mac.

By Michelle Malkin  •  August 12, 2008 06:06 PM When I first glanced at ABC News blogger Jake Tapper’s post this morning calling on his readers to count the number of young, white women in the latest McCain ad — because, you know, showing Obama with young, white women is RAAAAACIST — I thought it was a clever parody of nutroots racial paranoia. But no, it seems he was perfectly serious. And his unhinged commenters took the warped ball and ran with it: McCain’s campaign is so blatantly racist it isn’t funny. They obviously are employing Spike Lee’s theory of fear of...

[UPDATE: The Spanish Olympic basketball teams are sponsored by Li-Ning, the Chinese footwear company sometimes called “the Nike of China.” See bottom of post.] Thanks to a comment by a reader named Will, on an earlier post about Spain’s basketball team, we were alerted to an article in The Guardian by Sid Lowe — a Madrid-based correspondent for the site’s excellent Football Weekly podcast — about the photograph above. As Lowe explains: Spain’s Olympic basketball teams have risked upsetting their Chinese hosts by posing for a pre-Games advert making slit-eyed gestures. The advert for a courier company, which is an...

McCain’s ad guys must sit around with scotch and cigars and see who can mock Obama the most. Another great one.

John McCain's campaign will release a new web ad today that continues to portray Barack Obama as a bigger-than-the-Beatles celebrity but that also directly raises the matter of his sex appeal for the first time. "Fan Club" is designed as a parody of an 80s-era album compilation ad, with testimonials from starry-eyed supporters and some conventional jabs at Obama. At the end of the ad, though, there is a pivot to paint Obama as not just a celebrity, but a boy band heart-throb who makes the girls go weak in the knees. Calling Obama "dreamy," the spot features a woman...
