Has Obama himself countered this "doesn't care about the troops" ad?

[PlanetBev]

I know that the NY Times, etc. have called McCain on this bullshit, but once it's out there, the average 'murican in this country will lap it up.

This ad has Rove's fingerprints all over it and cannot be left on the clothesline to dry.

1. It seems like it would be so easy...

Just list all of the times that Mc voted against the troops. I think the number is nine in the last four years. Go figure.

2. Yes, he has, and so have other people on his behalf--

that doesn't stop it from spreading, apparently.

[PlanetBev]

3. Obama is going to have to come out with some attack ads himself

There is just no other way to survive the GOP murder machine without it.

4. Actually, the best defense is to pick Biden

Joe is the best dog to enter into the fight.

5. Wish Webb were still in the running--a veteran is the best one to

call bullshit on this.

6. Obama letting alot ads and charges go unanswered. Can you say Kerry 2??

7. That's what I think, Brent

I'm getting the same sinking feeling I got in August '04.

9. Not me. I was FURTHERING the attacks Kerry made against the swifts and Bush. Most Dems

did NOT even bother to pay attention and were too busy buying the SPIN from the corpmedia who refused to broadcast and even report Kerry's counters to the swifts in August 2004 or his challenge to Bush to publicly debate the issue instead of hiding behind the swifts.

Were you on the corpmedia's side spreading their lies and spin then the same way you are now?

[blm]

8. Can you say - SPIN? Go to DU Research Forum. You and other Dems bought a LIE pressed by

other Dems looking to Hillary2008 and the corpmedia. Kerry countered the swifts and challenged Bush to debate their services, but NOT ONE NEWS CHANNEL would broadcast that speech made to the Firefighters Convention and few even minimally reported that it occurred.

Did you see clips of Kerry's attacks in heavy rotation on the news channels? Did you even see those attacks in minimal rotation? Nope.

But....if you ARE interested in the TRUTH, and want to spread truth not lies about 2004, you could easily click on the DU Research Forum and go to the thread that has the actual data of that aspect of the 2004 campaign.

10. See? Even DUers Fall For Big Media

I guess if Obama sets himself on fire, Big Media will cover it. I have seen a lot of press releases, and whenever I do see an Obama surrogate, they denounce the ad. Heck, this morning on CNN, an Obama supporter had to basically shout over the McCain supporter and the moderator, who kept on trying to cut him off as he tried to attack the ad, which I have never seen shown on TV, just on free "analysis" by the news networks.

Big Media is in the tank for McCain with a billion budget. If you are blaming Obama, Clinton, Gore or Kerry, then Big Media has you fooled. Again.
