Just saw an attack ad (PA) against Obama showing Mohammed Atta and the twin towers burning

[AlinPA]

and connecting Obama to the terrorists. It looked like an RNC ad.

[Lerkfish]

1. pathetic, desperate and transparent.

its all they got at this point.

[Marrah_G]

2. I can't wait for this to be over.

[Smuckies]

3. Oh my.

That's awful. I hope people don't believe it.

[stillcool]

8. Like they've believed everything else?

all this bullshit does is make the McCain/Palin base more insane, and pick off more independents for Obama. You'd think they would have learned after the last 18 months, wouldn't you?

[Smuckies]

19. I know. I think these attack on Obama, and Obama not responding

tough is a game changer this late in the election. Hopefully whatever Obama says tonight, it'll swing people back in his favor.

[stillcool]

22. so you think that it didn't work..

for 18 months but it is going to work now?

[Smuckies]

26. I don't think this particular attack will work, because

I feel that independents (or most of them) don't think he's a terrorist.

I mean the hating, the absolute hate McCain spits out. I'm just thinking back to 2004.

[cliffordu]

23. Nice try, lil' asshat.

[Forkboy]

4. Good, it gets us more votes.

[bklyngrl60]

28. I agree! Keep over the top ads coming! More for us! :) nt

[Arrowhead2k1]

5. Are you serious?! That is fucking outrageous!

[janx]

6. Desperate times call for desperate measures, etc. n/t

[AlinPA]

30. Yes.. Typical pictures of Obama in black and white.

[GoesTo11]

7. Response

"What do terrorists do? On September 11, terrorists crashed four planes. (Video) John McCain crashed four airplanes (evil looking McCain looking over twin towers). John McCain. He and the terrorists crashed four planes."

[thewiseguy]

9. The Obama camp needs to make an issue out of this

This is way over the line

[rucky]

11. He needs to make fun of it.

and expose it for the utter ridiculousness it is.

[anneboleyn]

12. YES! Can you call the campaign and tell them to respond to the ad? And perhaps complain to media?

[rucky]

10. Didn't they try something like this before?

in a downticket election. Chambliss/Cleland, maybe?

[Sebastian Doyle]

13. Mohammed Atta?

You mean Mohammed Atta, who was trained to fly airplanes in Florida while Jeb Bush was governor, at a flight school owned by CIA/Bush Crime Family drug smugglers Wally Hilliard and Rudi Dekkers?

That Mohammed Atta?

[LiberalFighter]

14. Should complain to the television station broadcasting it.

[AlinPA]

31. WTAE Channel 4 Pittsburgh

[Cha]

15. So did john mccain

"approve this message"?

[AlCzervik]

16. you know what's funny, when i see terrorists i think---Republicans.

i just do, don't know why but it just pops into my head.

[Overseas]

17. Let's hope tons of Republicans cross over to vote Dem

So we can get rid of these Republican slanderous ads.

Enough with the Gingrich Rove trashing of opponents without any regard for facts.

[TK421]

18. I love the smell of desperation in the morning...next to frying bacon, of course

and maybe coffee brewing. Such a shame too many voters will see just how desperate this ad is

[Liberal_Dog]

20. Disgusting But Not Surprising

nt

[LynnTheDem]

21. Ahhhhh...so OBAMA did 911.

:eyes:

[Mariana]

24. "Terrorists want you to live in fear. So does John McCain."

That's essentially MY response to anyone who brings up terrorists as a reason to vote for McCain.

[GOTV]

25. It's ridiculous - and it requires a powerful response or votes will be lost ...

... This is not the week to play it safe.

[Tom Rinaldo]

27. "Terrorists attacked America when George Bush was President....

...but President Bush allowed Bin Ladin to escape from his refuge in Afghanistan by not sending in the troops we needed to catch him and bring him to justice. President Bush followed that blunder by shifting America's military focus off of Afghanistan where the attack on America actually originated, onto Iraq, which had absolutely nothing to do with it. As a result Bin Ladin remains free, and America's military remains bogged down inside Iraq.

John McCain supported that deeply flawed response to the attack on Ammerica. We need a leader with sound judgement to fight America's war against Terrorism. We need Barack Obama"

I would like to see an Obama ad like that.

[Rocknrule]

29. As I said before

if it were an Asian running for president, they'd use imagery from Pearl Harbor and Virginia Tech to discourage people from voting for one of "those" people
