Attack ads try to tie Obama to disgraced Detroit mayor

A new series of attack ads against Sen. Barack Obama will attempt to tie him to former Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick.

Freedom's Defense Fund, a Washington-based group that funds Republican candidates' campaigns, paid $25,000 to air the ads over the next 10 days. The ads show Obama lauding Kilpatrick at the Detroit Economic Club in May 2007, the Associated Press reported.

"We know that he is going to be doing astounding things for many years to come," Obama says in the ad as mugshots of Kilpatrick and the list of charges against float across the screen. "I'm grateful to call him a friend."


Of course... The ad doesn't mention that Obama called for Kwame to step down when this all came out. That would be too much like telling the truth.

I'm not watching the ad, but here is the link to the article on Rawstory.

1. Ah to most Republicans

Once black person looks like another...

You know they don't care about the truth or what's right. As the old lawyer dictum goes, when the law is on your side pound on the law; when the facts are on your side, pound on the facts; when neither the law nor facts are on your side pound on the table. The Pukes are pounding on the table so hard that they are scaring off Kruschev.

4. The ad attacks his judgment and plays on racial prejudice without having to mention race.

7. No, what its really trying to do is send a subtle message to whites ...

weary of blacks in leadership roles. Its saying "Look...see what happens when *they* run things. Obama is going to be no different."

Its ostensibly about a poor endorsement, but most thinking people realize Obama was just being a gracious guest. Once that wears off, its the deeper message of "blacks in government" that they want to stick.

11. Yes, that is my take as well...

I think that's the type of message they are wanting to send.

3. Is this the best they have? Fuck 'em

Fuck me their desperate. I'm guessing that $25,000 doesn't buy much airtime.

Pathetic, by all standards.

5. He gave one speech before the man was indicted.

And why should we expect Obama to be "in the know" on the doings of every political figure of even midling importance in the Democratic party?

6. Dont worry..the MSM is more concerned over Palin 24/7

[NoodleyAppendage]

8. So, where's our 527 putting out ads showing Palin speaking in tongues or her anti-semitic comment?

Aside from MoveOn.org, where are our champions of push-opinion ads against McGrampy and the Nazi??

10. What a disaster he turned out to be.....he really govrerned like

a Republican with all of his cronyism and placing himself above the voters.

So much corruption .. luxury business trips, etc., etc.

Seemed like a very shady guy and I'm thrilled his ass is out.
