American Issues Project television ad


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 Swift Boat Veterans for Truth during the 2004 presidential campaign.

But, as WND reported, Kerry actually took a similar approach. Instead of focusing on the Swift Boat Veterans' specific claims, his campaign threatened lawsuits against the television stations that aired the group's ads, demanded publisher Regnery pull the best-selling book "Unfit for Command," attacked the character of co-authors John O'Neill and Jerome Corsi, and accused the independent group of being run by the Republican party. The Kerry campaign also waged a multi-pronged attack on the Sinclair Broadcast Group over its plan to air a documentary " "Stolen Honor: Wounds That Never Heal", which featured former POWs telling how Kerry's 1971 testimony to the Senate Foreign Relations Committee was used as propaganda against them by their North Vietnamese captors.

Many of the stations airing the anti-Obama ad – financed by Swift Boat Veterans for Truth funder Harold Simmons, a Texas billionaire – are owned by Sinclair, the AP reported

Obama seems to be doing alot of warning lately, huh? Too bad it won't do him one bit of good. You wanted to be in the spotlight, you got it buddy, warts and all. Now shut up and suck it up!

So let me get this straight.

Obama said no saying anything about the wife,
EVEN though she is out there giving speeches,
but slamming Hillary and Bill all you want would be ok.

Don't say anything about him when he's campaigning.

Michelles college thesis is NOT to be let out till Novermer 5th.

His thesis is lost, the professor's copy AND the all the others "disappeared."

Don't criticize his Marxist, Black Liberation Theology, Church either.

What's he affraid of? THE TRUTH!!!!

I wonder what wonderful rules/laws he will make up once in office?

Oh my, Obama is warning TV stations and asking the Justice Dept to block ads that say bad things about him.

OBAMA, REAL AMERICANS know who you are and what you stand for and its all evil, corrupt, and the kind of garbage that will destroy a country in just one term if you are ever elected into office.

I never thought that anyone could get worse than Senator Reid of Nevada, Pelosi, Kennedy, or Feinstein, but Obama you take the cake.

Dictator Obama

We get a glimpse of what Obama would be like as president....

Jerome Corsi seems to get a little overboard in his putting together of facts and quotes to please the side that is paying him. Last week on C-Span, Corsi was talking about his newest book, but he was immediately followed by a gentleman from Media Matters who proceeding in thoroughly tearing apart "Obama Nation" as Corsi playing very loose with facts, quoting his previous articles in footnotes, etc.
I am no fan of Obama or McCain and do not trust either, as they have probably learned well the lessons of Bushy: be secretive, stretch the legal limits of the laws on the books, and do whatever the pudding you want once you are in office with no concern for your constituents-the American people.

I think it's worse the second time they get voted in.
Wasn't Bush just a War Criminal the first 4 years?
Now he has so many Executive Orders that the laws won't be able to touch the fool and his posse....
I look into his eyes and I see a vacant parking lot!
