Obama seeks to take down NRA ad
« on: September 25, 2008, 05:08:51 PM »
 ::) Will he ever learn? From Ben Smith at Politico:

Quote
The Obama campaign has written radio stations in Pennsylvania and Ohio, pressing them to refuse to air an ad from the National Rifle Association.

"This advertisement knowingly misleads your viewing audience about Senator Obama's position on the Second Amendment," says the letter from Obama general counsel Bob Bauer. "For the sake of both FCC licensing requirements and the public interest, your station should refuse to continue to air this advertisement."

The ad, "Hunter," conflates Obama's anti-gun stances of the 1990s with his current, more pro-gun, stand, and was chided for inaccuracy in The Washington Post, an item to which Bauer's letter refers.

NRA spokesman Andrew Arulanandam, who provided the letter, said it shows clear evidence that the ads are "hurting him," and stood by their substance. He also provided a copy of the NRA's own letter to the stations and memo disputing the Post story, after the jump. He also said the ad is running only in Pennsylvania at the moment.

rest of the story: HERE

He really IS a communist:

"For the sake of both FCC licensing requirements...   :o

In others, do what Barack Hussein Obama demands or say goodbye to that FCC license. But this time they're taking on the NRA, very few thugs ever win against them,

"For the sake of both FCC licensing requirements...

Obama can't help but trip over his own feet with his mad dash to the center.

This post is disruptive, hurtful, rude, insensitive, over-the-top, or otherwise inappropriate.

I guess I need to mail ANOTHER check to my org.
