Just saw Obama's new ad, "Honor" calling out John McCain on CBS. Watch it!

1. did they play the whole ad?

NBC played about 15 seconds of it.

[flpoljunkie]

3. Yes, they did.

[npincus]

5. excellent!!!! Why is the MSM being fair all of a sudden?

[Breeze54]

13. Wall St crashing and they have $$ invested and they know M/P are really fucking scary!!

;)

[Hope And Change]

2. K & R!

[gaiilonfong]

4. GREAT AD

So the Alaskan redneck diva has a tanning bed in the mansion.....Is that as bad as a $400 haircut?

WHO paid for it, at least edwards paid for his own haircut?

6. Anybody know where this is running? I know we can't depend on the media!

I'd love to see it run in ALL MARKETS, but I know that's financially unreasonable. I hope they run it at least in Ohio, Pa. Fl. Col. NM, & WI.

[harun]

41. I saw it in Philly, PA (n/t)

[flpoljunkie]

45. TPM reports it will "air on national cable and in key bettleground states."

http://tpmelectioncentral.talkingpointsmemo.com/2008/09/obama_campaign_launches_ad_hit.php

The ad will air on national cable and in key battleground states. Though the ad describes McCain's campaign -- not McCain himself -- as "dishonorable," the response, without question, will be POW POW POW.

7. Obama Needs To Stop

Obama needs to stop saying "McCain voted with Bush 90% of the time" in his ad.

It's one of those twisted statistics. I think factcheck.org (no fan of McCain, believe me) has called him on it.
Instead, Obama needs to put the actual clip of McCain bragging about it in his ad.

Far more damning to an educated voter - I assume the 90% is a massaged statistic, just like when they claim Obama is the "most liberal" Senator. But if McCain himself is embracing how much he is like Bush that says a lot.

[bunkerbuster1]

10. I'm sure "votes 90% Bush" polls well for Obama.

I don't think Obama would stick with a meme just because he's stubborn.

[DainBramaged]

12. I think Obama has a clue

[Curtland1015]

16. On the contrary, he needs to keep pushing it!

It doesn't matter that it can be "debunked". What matters is, John McCain HIMSELF has said it!

So what if the Repigs try to call us on it? All Obama has to say is "Why, John McCain himself has said so! I took his word on it, because I can't IMAGINE he was lying!"

McCain hamstrung himself in that one.

[skipos]

35. When did McCain brag about voting with him 90% of the time?

Do you have a link?

[MoJoWorkin]

17. There is an actual vid of McCain PROUDLY SAYING that he voted with Bush 90% of the time....

I have seen it and it is in an Obama ad. McCain SAYS IT HIMSELF, ok?

[tekisui]

24. It was 90% in 2007, 95% in 2008,

IIRC. He's being generous by using the 90%.

If there was any wiggle room, mcPOW would have denied it. He can't so he isn't.

[seabeyond]

26. please find the fact check before giving it as fact. i hear 91.something percent to be exact

let us know

[flpoljunkie]

28. From factcheck.org: Is it true John McCain voted with George Bush 95% of the time?

Q: Is it true John McCain voted with George Bush 95 percent of the time?
The Obama campaign keeps claiming McCain has voted with President Bush 95 percent of the time. Is this true? Is this significant?


A: Yes, it's true, according to Congressional Quarterly's assessment of McCain's voting record.
Sen. Barack Obama has attempted to use the Arizona senator's voting record against him in statements like this:

Barack Obama (June 3): It's not change when John McCain decided to stand with George Bush 95 percent of the time, as he did in the Senate last year.

The claim is true. According to Congressional Quarterly's Voting Studies, in 2007 McCain voted in line with the president's position 95 percent of the time – the highest percentage rate for McCain since Bush took office – and voted in line with his party 90 percent of the time. However, McCain's support of President Bush's position has been as low as 77 percent (in 2005), and his support for his party's position has been as low as 67 percent (2001).

[1corona4u]

30. Well, there you have it.

:-) I guess Obama CAN use it.

[RoadRage]

44. The only thing that would have made this better..

is if they had a picture of McCain running around with his pants on fire!

But, of course that would have lead back to some horrible POW thing that he probably endured and would lead the Repubicans to scream foul.. so better to just leave this as-is.

[seabeyond]

46. so, again, dems are honest and accurate to repugs lies.... that is why i like this party

dont always support what they are after, but i always embrace accurate and honest. TOO important to me.

thank you for the information. i dont go into these things, so appreciate when someone gives me the info that are much more computer savvy than i

[Beetwasher]

34. Actually Obama Is BEING GENEROUS

He's using the LOW figure.

[terrya]

42. On the contrary, he needs to keep pushing that message.

And he should use that pic of serial liar John McCain hugging his President, another world champion liar.

[madaboutharry]

8. GOBAMA!

He is the man!

This is a terrific ad. John McCain = Slimeball.

[Viking12]

9. K & R

[flpoljunkie]

11. Robert Gibbs NOW on MSNBC.

[OneGrassRoot]

14. I'm including the link with every email I send out - "TRUTH BE DAMNED." Indeed.

[FloridaJudy]

15. Woo-hoo! The gloves are finally off!

:woohoo:

Gobama!

[Breeze54]

18. Is there a YouTube version?

That won't play for me.

[Hope And Change]

21. Not yet.

[Hope And Change]

Credit goes to swag for posting this video!

[Breeze54]

48. Thank You!!!

:D

[Cha]

72. Thanks Hope...I love the way they

state the words that have already been written in the media by shocked reporters!

[WePurrsevere]

43. Just this so far..

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JJf_XXwpswE

ETA: see other link posted by Hope And Change for the YouTube that only covers the ad. :)

[Bread and Circus]

19. Well, people can't say Obama didn't hit back hard.

[Curtland1015]

20. Oh, they can and will, sadly...

There will always be the fringe opinion on here saying Obama isn't going far enough and demanding he call McCain a cowardly piece of sh*t in his stump speeches...

Personally, I think he's doing great.

[nxylas]

But he didn't actually use the word "liar"

So it doesn't count :sarcasm:

[Barack_America]

58. And even if he did say "liar", he certainly did not follow up with "pants on fire".

:eyes:

[Cha]

73. The hell with them... Obama

let reporters write the words for the ad and it has 100 times the Impact!

[polichick]

22. Takin' it to him! We should be sending this ads to our email lists.

[Marrah_G]

23. Saw it on morning Joe. It was Awesome !

It's about time they start throwing punches.

[adapa]

33. Best line on MJ-- 'we're worried about how to pay the bills &McCain is talking about lipstick'

[flpoljunkie]

36. Wow! Who said that? Surely not Morning Joe himself!

[adapa]

39. Yep, Mjoe himself. As a suggestion for the next ad

[seabeyond]

25. i think it is kick ass.... i saw a post above, he needs to stop... say what.

gonna check out that post and see the stupid... my bad if there is a legitimate reason. not seeing it though

[nc4bo]

27. Go for it Obama - truth is on our side!! nt

[Virginia Dare]

29. It's a HOME RUN---really powerful...n/t

[graywarrior]

31. Now we're talkin'.

[Waiting For Everyman]

32. Good one!

Truth is the best weapon. (Something Rovians wouldn't understand.)

[symbolman]

38. OUCH!

The Gloves are OFF!

KIck that old wrinkly ass, DO IT!

Save our Country, Obama!

Betcha McSame is shaking in his $500 shoes...

[southpaw]

40. Now That's What I'm Talkin' About!

Keep 'em coming!

[Chloroplast]

49. Ouch! I'm sure McCain will fall handily into that trap.

[progressoid]

50. And I just saw one of McLiars false ads.

They are still running them.

[weezie1317]

51. Brilliant!!! --- Next step, an ad hitting McCain again on the economy.

[GoesTo11]

52. This ad MUST see heavy rotation

This is the key ad to demolish McCain's perceived strength of honesty and honor. Time to make McCain pay for his choices the last couple months. Then we can clear the air for the real issues.

[Alhena]

53. Nice- wish you could donate to run a particular ad

[Douglas Carpenter]

54. kik and recommended

[TooRaLoo]

55. Hot damn!

The fight is ON.

[Barack_America]

56. Breaking: The McCain "Tantrum Probability" scale has been moved to RED.

A career-ending tantrum is now imminent.

:nuke:

Seriously. That guy must be seething right now. And we all know about Johnny's temper.

I wouldn't want to be anywhere near him right now.

[DeschutesRiver]

63. I am wondering if all these ads that mention a lack of honor and integrity

are specifically designed this way because they know that eventually, calling out McCain on his precious fake honor and integrity claims is going to cause him to completely melt down.

Some of the biggest cheats I know personally spend most of their time harping on their "honor", their "integrity", and if they feel that people are dissing it, they blow. Big. It got to the point where I told dh that anyone who uses the word "integrity" in their advertising or mouth to me about how much they possess, will be people I won't hire for a job or socialize with, because every damned one of them in reality were as far from having real integrity as you could be.

They hide behind the word, they convince themselves by saying it enough, but they lack it. I think someone in the Obama campaign clearly understands that if they call him out enough on this integrity claim, McCain is going to take the old big giant bait and have an enormous blow-up at some point. To the brink and beyond. Kind of like Charlie Keating, of the failed S&L said in an article I recently read - that he knew he had the way to get to McCain and get what he wanted, when he called him a coward enough. McCain, according to him, eventually blew a gasket, screamed about how dare someone suggest it, and promptly trundled off to do Keating's bidding with the regulators. Just to prove he was no coward, he flat out appealed for favors for a S&L fraud.

I am hopeful; besides, it won't hurt to call McCain by his true name and nature, even if someone from his team can keep sedating him from blowing.

[cui bono]

66. I had an idea to follow him around on his campaign and keep asking him hard questions

until he finally loses it. Wanted to film it and call it McLosing It.

[NorthwestNut]

57. ZING! Perfect timing too with Wall Street today.. n/t

[Kablooie]

59. I love how all the 'smear' words come from MSM publications.

Honesty is the best policy and this is honest.

[Douglas Carpenter]

60. the best Democratic Add since LBJ's 1964 daisy add...THIS IS FANTASTIC!! FINALLY!!

[Douglas Carpenter]

61. kick

[RedSpartan]

62. Excellent Ad

[hasssan1]

64. LOVE IT , They must come out with more ad like this and hit him even harder

Here is another $50.00 going to obama today.

[cui bono]

65. Great! I heard it on Randi Rhodes. n/t

[NEDem]

67. Awesome Ad!!

Hit him again, and again and again and again. Don't let him come up for air.

[jzodda]

68. Finally hitting back hard!

Hopefully its just the start. This is what we SHOULD have seen in 2004 but didn't. About Fucking time!

[crlong]

70. Great new ad

Yeah, hammering home the "voted with bush 90% of the time" line in these ads until it sticks!

[smb]

69. The Equation

[JBoris]

71. Sounds like William Fichtner doing the Voice Over again. Anyone know for sure if thats him?

[lynettebro440]
