What would be Obama's best response to Rev. Wright commercial in NC?

[yurbud]

Here's the commercial:

In the history of attack ads, this is one of the lamer efforts, but what response if any is needed to neutralize it?

[stray cat]

1. Wright responded best in his interview with Bill Moyer

"People who heard the whole sermon understood exactly what was being communicated. Those using soundbites for other purposes communicated exactly what they intended to."

[yurbud]

2. not enough people watch pbs

[stray cat]

4. True - its a shame

[WillYourVoteBCounted]

25. two stations have turned down the ad so far, not sure anyone will air the shit

so we'll see.

but she has her robo calls out, after all its 3 am and she has the phone.....

[madeline_con]

3. Other

run ad with snippets about WalMart's injustices and human rights abuses, and remind voters she was an attorney for the retail giant.

14. We're talking about a GOP ad, not a Clinton one - clue up.

[madeline_con]

17. You don't have to be a bitch about it.

[GarbagemanLB]

5. Run an ad showing McCain's, Hillary's campaign's, and the RNC's denouncements of the ad, then have a

narrator say "It's time for a change in our politics".

[JBoy]

6. Did Hillary's campaign denounce it?

[GarbagemanLB]

8. Yep. It only took 24+ hours to do so.

[JBoy]

10. Thx, I hadn't heard that.

[yurbud]

20. that's a good one.

[rurallib]

7. Maybe a 527 ad with a compilation of Falwell, Robertson, Hagee,

hagert, Parsley, Dobson etc and some of their hate filled tirades.

[Olney Blue]

9. Other. Show clips of Bush in egregious situations- lying about WMD,

making fun of WMD, lying about war, destroying Geneva conventions, etc.

Then show McCain hugging Bush.

Voiceover: The Republicans tell you that a candidate is responsible for anything that anyone in their acquaintance says. John McCain- how do you explain George Bush?

[yurbud]

21. that's a GREAT one! I doubt Rev. Wright has killed as many people as W.

[yurbud]

23. Has Rev. Wright cost America a trillion dollars, four thousand lives of our troops, and the

lives of a million Iraqis?

[yurbud]

24. I posted a variation of that on Yahoo Answers so more people would see it LINK

28. Great job!

:thumbsup:

[TomClash]

11. Ask Hillary what the "Fellowship" is in a debate nt

[keep_it_real]

12. A TV ad that tells people that Rev. Wright Assisted LBJ after his surgery

[crankychatter]

13. Buy a half an hour of prime time tv and a full page ad in every paper

just his speech on race and nothing else

[pscot]

15. Loyalty matters

"I don't abandon my friends. The Rev. Wright is a better man and a better American than those 20 second film clips would like you to believe. And he's a better American than many of those questioning his patriotism. He served his country well, as a marine, and he has served his community well as Pastor. I'm sure, that in the course of 20 years of passionate preaching, he has occasionally said things that were over the top. Some people are saying that if I'll just throw Reverend Wright under the bus, all this will blow over. It won't, because the people launching these attacks will just find another smear. He has been accused of no crime. He has been accused of no morally dubious act. What we have instead is a vague allegation that the Reverend Wright is somehow unpatriotic. He doesn't love America enough, or in the right way. The meanest kind of McCarthyite smear by people who have no moral high ground from which to sit in judgement of another man's patriotism. As with the business of the flag pin or the hand over the heart during the pledge, these are all ways of saying that I am unpatriotic, that I don't love America enough, or in the right way. It's a reprehensible tactic and it's bunk."

16. Rev. Wright needs to have a sermon on CNN every Sunday night

from now until the election, Just like the papa bush history show when w ran.

[anigbrowl]

18. Get Wright into some white churches, and make sure people see this image

[yurbud]

26. or this one:

[SoonerPride]

19. Ask: "what does this have to do with the price of gas, groceries, healthcare, or two wars?"

"The people are tired of distractions. We want change. We're going to change the subject and talk about the things that make a difference in your day to day life."

[yurbud]

22. that was one of the choices

[SoonerPride]

27. Well, sort of. The 'bitchy gossips" was less the focus than talking about Change

and changing the subject to something that matters.
