Would This Strategy Make A Good Ad? (combat the "it never happened" b.s.)
Edited on Thu Oct-16-08 07:40 PM by demdog78
So, now the McCain camp is saying "kill him" never happened... Well, would an ad showing the type of hate being spewed at the McCain/Palin rallies hurt or help?

I mean... would hearing people shout things like that with NO response from McCain or Palin hurt or help the Obama campaign?

Yes, it would be a gamble, but really, would this be likely to sway independents our way, if they actually SAW the hate that they were inspiring? To see Sarah Palin speaking with John & Cindy standing right there IGNORING someone calling Obama a terrorist, or saying "bomb Obama" or "k*** him"?


What say you?

1. Maybe for a 527 but I think Obama is taking the high road - it just wouldn't be his style.
Just my opinion...

2. Good point... What would be better
is if we could get the MSM to pick it up. We should start sending them video links to all the instances where McCain & Palin ignored it; where you can clearly see & hear it happening, along with them ignoring it.
