I just heard the worst anti-Obama ad ever during Rush's show

[tridim]

It was basically 45 seconds of blatantly false accusations that Obama will take away your guns, blah blah blah, and then it ends with..

"Defend Freedom, (gun shot sound) Defeat Barack Obama (another gun shot sound)"

My jaw was on the floor. Unfortunately I don't remember which group is "responsible" for the ad, but I'll be listening for it again. This demands action IMO, they can't be allowed to get away with it.

Has anyone else heard this ad?

[Curtland1015]

1. WOW. That is just hideous.

What a bunch of dirt bags.

[NYCGirl]

2. The NRA?

[brentspeak]

3. I haven't heard it

but it sounds like the kind of thing that needs to be forwarded to the Secret Service.

24. Indeed, we have to slap these bigots down.

This of course was totally unrelated to a Primary candidate issuing a leaflet with a gun to Obamas' head and absolutely unrelated to the NRA using gunshot noises as background noise when calling for their bigots to "Defeat Obama".

4. Whoa....I guess we have to listen to his show to hear the ad.

Is there another way?

11. Go here if you're sure you really want to hear it

16. Well, after hearing it again I'm sure they'll claim "It's just a drum!"

But obviously that drum sound was meant to sound like gun shots.

Gawd I hate Republicans.

[NYC_SKP]

18. Well it sure as hell is full of lies, a typical FEAR based BS ad, but...

...while the bang noises were dramatic, I think they were generic sound effects, more like the slamming of a jail cell door, not gunfire.

It's an ad full of lies, that is the most offensive part to me and I wonder if there are ways to have them pulled when they are that false.

5. Rush?

The NRA? :boring:

[hobbit709]

6. Why are you rotting your mind listening to Oxyrush?

[tridim]

8. Just caught it by mistake while getting lunch.

I don't make a habit of listening to that fucker for more than a few minutes.

10. Know thy enemy

Know your enemies position better than they do. I listen to a bit of RW talk on the drive home sometimes.

[backscatter712]

21. Thanks for taking one for the team!

I refuse to listen to that crap, though some of us need to, so we're ready to refute it.

[Sebastian Doyle]

7. Are you sure it was even a real ad?

Almost sounds like a Limpdick attempt at "humor".

[54anickel]

12. See post #11

[Celebrandil]

9. Obama in danger

It wouldn't suprise me if some idiot takes that literally and tries to shoot Obama.

[Window]

20. They are not even trying to go for subliminat seduction any more. Bastards.

[OwnedByFerrets]

13. They dont even TRY to be subtle any longer...nt

14. The only gun Obama should take away is

Sarah's moose shooting gun.

[samuraiguppy]

15. a word of advise--

DON'T listen to Rush. and if you do-- don't come here complaining about what you hear.

[tridim]

17. It's a national ad campaign..

That associates gun shots with "defeating Obama".

You don't think that's worthy of a complaint on DU?

[jberryhill]

19. Inform the Secret Service

There is a "message" there worthy of investigation.

[sshan2525]

22. Why the fuck do you listen to that piece of shit?

There are plenty of radio shows out there that actually broadcast something resembling the truth.

[tridim]

23. I don't.

It just happened to be tuned there today when I got in the car.

My post wasn't about Rush, it was about the ad that aired during his show.

[apnu]

25. Why were you listening to Rush? Did you lose a bet? (nt)

[mrreowwr_kittty]

26. Why are people more concerned that the OP is listening to Rush than what was in the ad?

Click on the link in post 11. This is some scary shit that millions of people, at least a handful of which are dangerous wingnut lunatics, are listening to. Burying your head in the sand with NPR or Air America isn't going to change it.
