Title: Outrageous Attack Ad! "John McCain is 72 years old, and has had cancer 4 times"
Post by: Wretched Excess on September 26, 2008, 08:24:26 AM

It's not by the obama comapign, of course, but some 527 group or george soros offshoot.  but this is it for me.
I was hoping that our 527s would show a semblance of restraint this election cycle, but after this . . . . .

RELEASE  THE HOUNDS!!!

That's a joke ad, right?  And those "doctors" just play them on TV, right?  Right?

According to Fox this morning, only MSNBC (wottashock) is running it, everyone else declined....if it's the one I think it is, I can't view video on the connection I'm using for this post.  Still one too many, though obviously the swine that made it hope that getting it up on even one station will get it attention far beyond that on YT.

I am all for releasing the Hooooouuuuuunds, the GOP has a long history of playing much too nice in the face of smears.

I was indeed watching PMSNBC.  I was literally speechless.

Out of fairness and balance did they happen to mention Obama can't breathe on his own without a teleprompter?

This ad was discussed on O'Reilly last night and he was outraged (as any decent person should be)

It was backed by the head of GE and Jeffrey Zucker who is the head of NBC. It was done by the brother of someone in Obama's campaign. Can't remember who.

O'Reilly was talking to Megan Kelly about it.

He's convinced that it was done with Obama's approval whether Obama will admit it or not. He also said that Fox was approached to do the ad and they refused.

I just now saw this ad.....uh...um...uh...

It was done by Howie Dean's little brother, more tasteless than I thought. But even MSNBC's viewers bitched so much that they pulled this ad:

Quote
The spot, which has been running on MSNBC since yesterday, is the work of Brave New PAC and Democracy For America, which is headed up by Howard Dean's brother. It demands that McCain release his medical records and quotes doctors saying that McCain's age and bouts with cancer should raise concern, with one saying that another round of cancer would "profoundly impact his capacity to lead."

MSNBC informed the ad buyer for the two PACS today at around noon eastern time that the network was yanking the spot, Brave New PAC spokesperson Leighton Woodhouse tells me. The network said that the reason for their decision was "viewer complaints," Woodhouse says.

Even CNN couldn't stomach this ad initially, odd to see MSNBC actually be responsive.

I'm glad to hear that this ad is getting pulled - It is the dirtiest, lowest political advertisement I have ever seen. Of course most of the DUmpmonkeys love it.

Don't forget the ad that attacks McCain for not being able to use the computer---when he can't keyboard because of injuries from the torture. That was about as low as you can go, too.

That was the lowest I had seen before this new advertisement.

They discussed it on Red Eye last night.  Seriously, that is the only real news show left.  That's the first place I heard about England going Sharia.  It's a shame they cancel it on debate nights.

I love Red Eye too, I fall asleep before it comes on too often.  I think I'm going to start recording it.

Why would they cancel Red Eye on Debate nights. Red Eye comes on at like 2 A.M. ?

That's what I do, sometimes I stay up and watch it and other times I watch it the next day.

Because Greg Gutfeld secretly runs the world and he's exhausted after being the Man Behind the Curtain at debates and stuff.

Or because FNC reruns the debates/conventions overnight because they think that is more important than an actual funny news show.

IMO, after debates is when we need Red Eye more than regular nights.

It also got canceled for Bush's address to bail out the financials one Wed.  Hopefully if the Big Zero is elected they wont cancel it for his speeches.  That would just be insulting.

What the hell does this have to do with John McCain's politics? This election is nasty, worse than 2004.
