This anti-Obama ad is constantly running on MSNBC. I live in NY:

[jenmito]

It's called, "Petraeus v. Obama: The Truth About the Surge"

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZJYiQnm1xBs

It's run by "Vets for Freedom." :eyes:

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

1. I've seen it a lot in MN, too.

:puke:

[jenmito]

13. It counts as a 527, right?

:puke:

[endthewar]

28. Yeah, this was the group that also

when they endorse McCain back in like February or so said that the Democrats could have their "Tiger Woods" because they have John McCain.

[Coexist]

2. I've only seen it once here in Florida, and its not very gripping

its sounds mighty tinfoil hat-ty.

[kid a]

3. just ran in MT

[billyoc]

4. I know. Let them waste their money in New York, one of the most expensive markets.

Idiots. :eyes:

[vanderBeth]

5. I've seen it here in TX.

[AllieB]

6. Right now, more people are focused on the economy than the war.

so hopefully this ad will be somewhat of a waste of money.

[BumRushDaShow]

7. Just started airing this evening in Philly during Countdown. n/t

[FrenchieCat]

8. 2nd times while watching KO that I saw it.

Obama needs a commercial about how the "surge" is NOT why Iraq is slightly better now than it was before.

[Boz]

9. Its a national buy insertion, not target to a state.

[jenmito]

15. Oh! No wonder! Thanks for the info.

:hi:

[BumRushDaShow]

17. Seems to be bad timing, subject matter-wise, but I guess they had to spend the $$.

:rofl:

[Cha]

18. Yeah, like people are worried about the

damn 2 year old surge.

[Boz]

19. Yeah the purchase and traffic(the scheduling) on a national insert to specific shows would have been

weeks ago. Bet hes kind going Doh!!!!

correction its a 527 who is running it Not mCCain.

[babylonsister]

10. m$nbc all day. nt

[GoesTo11]

11. Is that lieberman's resolution they referenced?

[geekgrrl]

12. Yeah I just saw it twice here in Wisconsin during Keith tonight. Yuck! nt

[Kdillard]

14. Yep I have seen that ridiculous ad here in NY too hardly gripping imo.

[jenmito]

16. I doubt many people are going to call Obama to tell him the surge worked.

What a waste.

[Boz]

21. Alot will , but no flips, its not likely to change anyones opinion, Preachin to the choir

Pretty much a waste.

[jenmito]

24. Ya think?

I don't think those who agree with the ad will waste their time. But you're right-it's a waste either way.

[ProSense]

20. The real truth about the

surge

[yourguide]

22. I live in Brooklyn

Havent seen it.

[Patsy Stone]

23. Miami, Florida checking in.

:puke:

[jenmito]

26. I guess you've seen it.

:)

[kypp]

25. Seen it twice in the last hour in NM.

[aquamarina]

27. It's running in So Cal as well.

[bronxiteforever]

29. Here are the people behind the ad-Bear Stearns Connection

Pete Hegseth replaced Wade Zirkle as Executive Director of the pro-war in Iraq Vets for Freedom in May 2007<1><2> and became its full-time Executive Director on July 9, 2007.<3>

Mr. Hegseth worked as an analyst" at Bear, Stearns & Co., Inc..<9>

http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=Vets_for_Freedom

"It was, in essence, a Republican front group managed by Republican-affiliated public relations<8>, media<9>, legal<10>, and political consultants, including former White House spokesman Taylor Gross, to defeat candidates who advocate an end to the US occupation of Iraq."

[jenmito]

30. Thanks for that info.!

:hi:

[bronxiteforever]

34. Your welcome!

:hi:

[Bubbha Jo]

31. It was on all during O's show in Arkansas too

These vets need to get a grip.

[jenmito]

33. I doubt they convinced many of us Keith viewers to call!

They're stupid.

[Ioo]

32. The Surge is like finding a great place to eat on a trip you should have never taken..

fact. The surge is Moot, we should have never been in IRAQ

[jenmito]

35. That's exactly right! I wish the Obama surrogates would point out McCain's bad judgment in

saying he'd STILL invade Iraq knowing what he knows today.
