Update to NC Gop anti-Obama ad that references the Rev. Jeremiah Wright...

Per the RNC, the national leadership of the Republican Party has been in contact this morning with the North Carolina GOP, urging them to refrain from running the "Extreme" ad. The party says that the content of the anti-Obama ad, which references the Rev. Jeremiah Wright, is "not appropriate" and "unhelpful."

The NC GOP is an independent organization not bound to the recommendations of the national party. A spokesman from the NC party declined to comment on any conversations between the RNC and the North Carolina team.

1. RNC: "what? you've already run it as many times as you had planned?..

well then, never mind. Carry on."

17. Of course....F the RNC and its vampire surrogates

[Nickster]

2. "oh, please, please don't do that...." *wink* *wink*

[MidwestTransplant]

10. Exactly.

[mrreowwr_kittty]

3. So they'll run it anyway and the national RNC gets to distance itself from it.

I can hear the media bobbleheads now: "Well, it's a very shocking and negative ad, but you can't blame the Republican Party for it because they urged them to refrain from running it!"

12. Not to mention the now nationwide coverage it's going to get. n/t

[TechBear_Seattle]

14. Yup

It would have gotten little attention before. Now, it will be played over and over to a national audience.

Mission accomplished.

4. Why don't they just donate some money to her campaign?

5. While the Democrats stand silent and let Clinton smear Obama, the RNC

sticks up for the black candidate. The Clintons are going to destroy this party even more than they did in the 90s. Without massive black voter turnout the Democrats can kiss goodbye many senate and congressional seats.

People are smart enough to see that the arguments made by the Clintonites are stupid and illogical YET the Democratic superdelegates sit on the sidelines.

9. So in your opinion only those Democrats that back Obama are intelligent?

It is people like you that are harming the Party. Get a grip.....Don't let your hate for all that oppose your opinions run rampant...Both candidates are excellent candidates and either would be a very welcome relief for America.

6. RNC to NC GOP.... "That was meant for HILLARY to use...not you guys!"

The GOP doesn't want to be seen attacking directly with this stuff, they want Hillary to win AND for the rest of the democrats to BLAME her for the dirty campaign... it's the only way for them to win in November... and, of course, Hillary has been their willing tool in this strategy.

7. Oops, we did it again

We rushed to quash the inappropriate ad, but gosh, it's too late, and now the national media will be running it over and over again for free . . . oh darn it all . . .

[Supersedeas]

18. the timing is odd...wonder how long they have known/contributed to production of this ad

[RUMMYisFROSTED]

8. Iow: "Hold it until the General."

[Shae]

11. Oh, yeah

RNC always takes the high road.

RNC: Nothing wrong with Reverend Wright, not as far as we know.

[uppityperson]

13. "unhelpful" but we're going to run it anyway. We don't want to, but we must?

[Supersedeas]

15. they don't want anyone else to see the real GOP racists behind the Rovian curtain

[rocktivity]

16. Obviously, they're worried about us running a Hagee/Parsley ad...

:evilgrin:

[DemKing]

19. Playing their card way to early

So funny they are playing this over used tape already????

McCain - Sought now Glad, Admires and Respects Hagee ALL OUT OF HIS OWN MOUTH.... That will nail him and balance out that over used Wright Tape.
