The GOP's frothing, unmitigated hatred is on display in Florida.



Hernando voters furious with attack on Obama

Posted by John Frank at 12:10:36 PM on October 31, 2008

An advertising circular appearing in 70,000 Hernando County mailboxes features a controversial advertisement simulating a conversation between Osama Bin Laden and three apparent terrorists saying to wait for Obama to take office before attacking next. A McCain-Palin logo appears underneath.

The half-page ad, which appeared in Spring Hill-based the Scene Magazine, is paid for by Concerned Citizens for America. The group does not appear to be registered as a Florida political committee.

A number of Hernando residents are peeved. "I'm from New York and I'm really offended," said Dawn LaDuca, an Obama supporter. "My nephew ran out of those towers. It really pisses me off."

Pat LaGrassa, an independent voter supporting Obama, called the magazine and the U.S. Postal Service to ask that it never get delivered to her mailbox again. Representatives at both said they couldn't do anything about it.

"I told him this is the most disgusting ad I've seen in my life," she said. This is going into homes where there are children seeing this. It's a bunch of garbage."

Anti-Obama movie delivered to Palm Beach Post readers

Some subscribers of The Palm Beach Post and newspapers in two other swing states received a copy of “Hype: The Obama Effect” this morning. The Citizens United movie, which focuses on issues such as his relationship with Rev. Jeremiah Wright, interviews former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee, Dick Morris and Shelby Steele.

“Citizens United has every right to place this message as a paid advertisement, and our readers have every right to see it, even if they don’t agree with it,” said Post General Manager Charles Gerardi. “That we accepted it as a paid advertisement in no way implies that this newspaper agrees or disagrees with its message.”

The advertisement recalls the Clarion Fund’s move to swamp swing states last month with “Obsession: Radical Islam’s War Against the West” largely through newspaper inserts.

2. That Obama is bulletproof against these types of attacks is part of the awesomeness of his campaign.
