New ad ties Obama to Mohamed Atta

Not sure how widely this ad by the independent National Republican Trust PAC is airing in Florida, but producer Rick Wilson says it's up tonight in Tampa, Orlando, Ohio and Pennsylvania. It relates to driver's licenses for illegal immigrants, similar to one Tom Feeney is airing against Suzanne Kosmas (over legislation backed by Jeb Bush and Charlie Crist).

That is true. Even BO's sidekick thinks we will be attacked if BO is elected. Biden should know. He has intel from the Pentagon you know. Too Risky.

"More Evidence the Mainstream Liberal Media is "In the Tank" for Obama"


The liberal mainstream media is trying desperately to bury a huge devastating breaking story:

JOE BIDEN SAYS U.S. WILL FACE INTERNATIONAL CRISIS IF OBAMA GETS ELECTED

http://www.nypost.com/seven/10212008/news/politics/joe_doh_puts_o_in_crisis_mode_134547.htm


Most of the network news and liberal newspaper are trying to bury this front page headline story in fear that Obama's campaign would be devastated by the story. Even former CBS news anchor Dan Rather said that if Sarah Palin had said the same thing about McCain, it would be in the front page of these newspapers and top story of the major network.

America's enemies will see Obama as weak"

I think they next commercial should tie Obama to Manson. Run that in California. And a Bundy edition for Florida and Washington. Let's just go national with a compilation of Obama with Gacy, Dahmer, the Green River Killer, and of course BTK Baby! Woot!

There have to be pictures of him out there eating babies, right?! And stealing candy on Halloween! You watch out next Friday, man. We're watching! And don't think I forgot about Easter when YOU ATE THE EARS OF THE BUNNY. Oh no mister, I remember. I read about it on the internet, right after I wrote it, so it must be true!

Trying to bury? It has been on CNN all day.

NBC ABC CBS and most of the newspaper are hardly talking about this.

I have a lot to say about this, but will refrain for fear of the U.S. and Obama's safety.

cont'd

there are too many loons out there, so I will refrain from my whole opinion on this issue.

There is no way I am going to vote for obama if he is for this crap. It is about time someone said something about illegal immigration. Why aren't these candidates talking about deporting the illegals so more Americans will get work and see their wages increase? I can't figure either one of these candidates out. I think they are both risky so I will vote 3rd party.

media is only supporting Obama


Put bad news constantly on McCain & Republicans and only good news for Obama


This election will transform the publics opinion on the mainstream media forever. They have only hurt themselves.

Using Atta makes this the 2008 version of the 1988 Willie Horton ad. Figures both come from Republicans.

Hey, why not show the WTC burning and blame that on illegal aliens too? That'd be a two-fer-one -- you get your terrorism angle and your illegal alien angle. What other fear factors should be included to appeal to McCain supporters?

Oh, I know--how about Karl Marx and a slur how Obama probably studied Marxist economics in a college economics class. Yeah, that's the ticket...anything that makes McCain supporters more fearful.

Rick Wilson is a jug-eared egomaniac who has made a pathetic living by perpetrating lies like this one. What do people like this think about themselves when they look back on their lives? I was an effective liar?

McCain, the GOP, and the NRA want to make it easier for terrorists to buy guns with or without a drivers license.

11:36 PM - Neither of these candidates will take illegals away from their big-business, campaign-contributin' buddies. It's modern day slavery, right here in America and they're using it to keep from paying you a decent wage. Don't look for support from Republicans or Democrats. If they cared, they could have fixed this long ago, being as they've had the power to do so by controlling the presidency, the house and the senate for lo these many years. If you want change, you'll have to look to a third party, but not much chance you'll get a win there this year. If you vote third party this election, you may as well accept that it's on principle only.

What happened to talking about the issues?

Deperate Times call For Desperate Lies!

McCain's Campaign is down so low... next thing you know they will say that he "Pal's around with Dick Cheney"

Hahahahahahahaha.... Republicans are so Stupid.

Vote BOB BARR!

McCain is out of ideas and is watching his political dream die. With that in mind, he's willing to say anything about anyone in order gain ground. It will only get uglier in the coming two weeks. McCain should have spent as much energy focusing on economic solutions or in vetting his VP pick, who doesn't even know what her job would be.

Is Bill Ayers planning another attack?

Oh, lighten up on Palin. She's just as qualified to be vice president as Obama is to be president. He gave a nice speech. She ran a state with very few people. They're both a couple of young whippersnappers who are wet behind the ears. And McCain is an old codger and Biden is sure to p--- off some foreign country with his mouth. But they all seem like nice people, so I'm comfortable with them. What I'm not comfortable with are the parties they represent - both essentially businesses run by unseen power brokers, some of whom don't have America's best interests in mind.

For you Republican scare tactic people, ANY PRESIDENT WILL BE READY FOR AN ATTACK. We are the United States of America. Mickey Mouse could be president and handle a crisis BECAUSE HE HAS A CABINET AND MILITARY LEADERS TO HELP IN THOSE DECISIONS. Crisis comes in the career of EVERY president, whether young, old, Republican or Democrat.

Another desperate McCain lie. The more they attack the more people vote for Obama. Keep it up! Obama +7.4 today, +8.0 by Friday! Landslide coming!

Right you are, Commonsense. The president is essentially a figurehead.

The McCain camp is pathetic. No ideas, just lies and more lies.

October 21, 2008 --

"THE source who told us last week about Michelle Obama getting lobster and caviar delivered to her room at the Waldorf-Astoria must have been under the influence of a mind-altering drug. She was not even staying at the Waldorf. We regret the mistake, and our former source is going to regret it, too. Bread and water would be too good for such disinformation."

hahaha

i pissed myself.

give it up you idiots. negative ads DO NOT WORK this late in the election, this cycle.

I think its a great ad. His plan to give drivers licenses to illegals is truly scary.

Anyone else notice how nasty the pro-democrat posts are here? Eat some fiber, people. Lighten up.

You're absolutely correct, 9:33, Palin would do fine as president. Thank you.

I THINK THAT IT'S GETTING CLOSER AND THE WHITE REPUBS ARE GETTING CRAZIER AND CRAZIER! I THAT IS THE WOEST THING I EVER HEARD DO YOU REALLY THINK THAT OBAMA THE BLACK SOUTH SIDER KNOW ANY MIDDLE EASTERN RELIGIONS DUMMYS.

IT'S OVER DEAL WITH IT STOP LYING.

BLACK DEM SHOULD PUNCH ANTBODY WHO PUT THOSE LIES OUT.

commonsense

I don't know if Mickey Mouse could be president, but thanks to ACORN, he can vote for the president.

I TOLD MY COUSIN, BEFORE HE THINK ABOUT JOINING THE MILITARY NEXT LOOK AT THE ELECTIONS. AND FIND OUT WHO'S COUNTRY YOU FIGHTING FOR. IT IS WHITE POWER THAT YOU WILL BE FIGHTING FOR. SINCE THEY ARE TRYING TO DO ANYTHING TO KEEP OBAMA IN OFFICE, LET THEM FIGHT THEIR OWN WARS

MICKEY MOUSE WOULD BE BETTER THAN MC CAIN AND BUSH! NOW WHAT?

Lorenzo

You should of punched your English teacher. He, or she, obviously didn't do their job.

I RATHER FOR ILLEGALS TO DRIVE THAN TO WORK FOR GREEDY BUSINESS MEN AND GET PAID NO THING

As I should punch mine.

My son, a Marine, will not re-enlist if Obama is elected.

I AM A COLLEGE GRADUATE FROM ONE OF THE BEST UNIVERSITIES IN ILLINOIS. NOW WHAT FLORIDA COUNTRY BOY OR GIRL. THIS IS A TYPO ERROR.

YOUR SON SHOULD NOT EN LIST IN THE FIRST PLACE. WHEN BUSH WAS ELECTED.

WELL! MY COUSIN IS BLACK! AFTER THIS ALL BLACKMEN SHOULD NOT FIGHT FOR THIS COUNTRY EVER. GO BACK TO AFRICA OR THE MIDDLE EAST AND FIGHT FOR THEM

McCain will win Florida or else.

I THOUGHT THE COUNTRY CHANGED! I REALLY BELIEVE THAT WE CAN ALL WORK TOGETHER AS ONE COUNTRY.

OBAMA DON'T NEED FLORIDA ANYWAY. I DON'T KNOW WHY HE KEEP COUNTING ON IT. THEY LET US DOWN TWO ELECTIONS.

WHY SHOULD POOR WORKING CLASS PEOPLE IN FLORIDA WORRY ABOUT RICH PEOPLE GETTING HIGH TAXES IN THE FIRST PLACE? WORRY ABOUT YOURSELF AND YOUR FAMILY. THEY CAN AFFORD HIGH TAXES.

I DON'T KNOW ABOUT JOE THE PLUMBER! BUT IN CHICAGO PLUMBERS MAKE 36 TO 40 DOLLARS AND HOUR. SO WHO'S THE DUMMY HERE?

I DON'T CARE IF OBAMA FATHER WAS OSAMA BIN LADIN! HE STILL HAVE MY VOTE.

WHY SHOULD YOUR SON QUIT THE MILITARY HE'S BEEN FIGHTING FOR WHITE SURPREMCY ANYWAY.

TAKING BETS IF OBAMA STILL WIN

LORENZO! COMRADE!

WHY DO YOU USE ALL CAPITAL LETTERS? IS IT LIKE YOU ARE SHOUTING, EXCEPT THAT YOU ARE TYPING?

MEDIA SHOULD SUPPORT OBAMA! HE IS RUNNING A GRAT CAMPAIGN!
