Unless McCain condemns this ad personally (don't send any flunkies out to do it), I'll assume that 'He's john McCain and he approved this message.'

1. Pretty shitty ad.

Yeah. Pretty dumb.

[scheming daemons]

2. Everybody that cares about Rev Wright is already solidly in the McCain camp....

Wright's ability to move poll numbers ended sometime in May.

Those who could be moved by him were.

[ecstatic]

21. I agree. Plus people know the deal... Chris Rock, Dave Chappelle

etc. say a lot of the same things that Rev. Wright said. I went to see Dave Chappelle in Atlanta 2 yrs ago and the audience was full of white people!

[psychobueller]

3. Honestly...

after hearing the well-publicized hate spewing from the mouths of Palin-McCain supporters at their rallies, Wright doesn't have the same "shock" value to me.

4. This is played out and playing to the brain dead base

our guy will know how to respond - he's ten light years ahead.

Of course there is always the nuclear option, look at mclame's real record.

[aaaaaa5a]

5. In all honesty, I'm actually disappointed!

It's really pretty weak! It represents the death struggle of McCain's dying campaign.

10. A commenter at TPM said this:

'That's not a campaign ad, that's a suicide note.'

I'm inclined to agree. That ad is the slab that seals the crypt, and forever brands McCain a race-baiting thug.

6. Let's hope the AIP ad is not far behind.........

I think Obama has been saving this till the end, to use only if he gets hit with a negative ad about Wright or some other crap.

[Sebastian Doyle]

7. More reruns from the primaries?

Seriously, is Mark Penn working for McCain or what?

[DrToast]

8. There have already been Rev. Wright ads. n/t

9. ROFL...this ad will actually HELP Obama....

It's already been proven beyond any doubt that voters HATE these ads. *shrug*

[Frosty1]

11. I thought they said he was a Muslim?

Muslims attend christian churches? For 20 years?:crazy:

[David Zephyr]

12. Dick Morris trumpeted that this group would run the Wright angle in ads this week.

Dick Morris said this weekend that a GOP group would run Wright ads the last week of the campaign for McCain so he wouldn't have to do it himself.

It's all orchestrated.

And Karl Rove, who hasn't missed having his fingers in racist ads yet, is certainly involved.

[Life Long Dem]

13. Sorry, but that's the Wrong Ad!!

[Fleshdancer]

14. "Obama is too radical and too risky"

The republicans are working hard to fail. Couldn't happen to a better group of idiots.

[LTR]

15. Cool!

They want to bring up crazy preachers? Bring it on!

Should we start with Robertson, Hagee or Haggard?

[1corona4u]

16. Muthee.

The witch doctor.

[TheBigotBasher]

17. How about Jews for Jesus

After all, Palin never objected to the comments that Jews deserve terrorism because they do not love Jesus enough.

[Born_A_Truman]

18. Have to wonder if the tv stations will accept the language

[grantcart]

19. too late --- looks desperate

also reports are that there are no ads available in battleground states -- could run it in Utah though.

[FVZA_Colonel]

20. This is what we were waiting for?!

God, what a low-quality piece of shit.

[spanone]

22. won't matter

old and tired stuff

[americanstranger]

25. I realize that.

But it's been nearly a full news cycle now, and we haven't heard a peep from Senator Straight Talk denouncing this ad.

John McCain's word is worthless.

23. Looks like McKlan is in his last throws...

[Heather MC]

24. I have heard Failin say far worse things about the American GOV.

Than Rev Wright.

Wright says, Gov. Lie. How is that bad, how is it not the truth? Hellllllooooo Bush Administration

America's chickens had come home to Roost, Our Government, has been a world wide bully, Our Government had done a lot of horrible things around the world. The IRAQ war is just the most recent example, and old one is the bombing of Japan, Veitnam, on and on.

All Rev Wright did was speak the truth in a colorful manor.
I wouldn't go to his curch, but only because I don't like traditional churches, but nothing he said was wrong.

[BlueIdaho]

26. Thank Hillary Clinton...

I was pissed at the time - but one "gift" of the long primary season is Obama's inoculation against the whole "Wright & Ayers thing" thanks to Hillary's primary tactics and a MSM wallowing in the stories. Everyone reachable has already made up their mind about Obama's Ayers/Wright connection. This is old news that makes the republicans look desperate and frankly more interested in mud slinging than solving the real problems of America. Worse yet - it won't help elect any down ticket republicans in congressional races.

The politics of KKKarl Rove may just be dead as a doornail.
