The GOP is running the Rev Wright ad nationally, so why does the MSM...

[yourguide]

keep saying the PA Rethugs are running this in PA only.

WTF?

[Lerkfish]

1. lies, misdirections and damned lies is all they got left.

talk about an empty suit.

[godai]

2. MSNBC just ran the ad for free.

Under the guise of 'Is this fair?' they played the entire ad. We need the Fairness Doctrine reinstituted.

7. True

Obama had to pay for most of his ads but McCain got lots for free advertisement.

3. Wright ad

It is running in the Atlanta area big time.

[AZSlacker]

4. Just saw one here in AZ. I think the distinction may be that the national ones

are 527 funded, and the PA ones directly McCain/GOP. Not sure though, since I haven't seen the PA one (unless it is the same one as the one I saw earlier, in that case, your gripe is valid.)

[bdamomma]

5. desperate move by the right to air this filthy ad.

all the fundies must be going crazy.

[godai]

6. WP tries to equate the ad to Obama's mention of Cheney endorsement!

One is a fact...Cheney did endorse McCain and they're all Republicans and the other (Wright ad) is a scare tactic.

The waning hours of the longest presidential campaign in history elicited a fresh round of stinging attacks from Sens. Barack Obama and John McCain and their supporters on Sunday, a departure from the positive messages that candidates normally revert to before an election.

The two candidates kept swinging at each other as their campaigns focused on a handful of states that will determine the election. Obama cut an ad that used Vice President Cheney's endorsement of McCain to reinforce his central argument that his rival represents a third term of the unpopular Bush administration.

Republicans in Pennsylvania brought back the controversial comments of Obama's former pastor, the Rev. Jeremiah A. Wright Jr., despite McCain's admonition that he should not be used as a political weapon, and the campaign unleashed robo-calls that employed the withering dismissal that Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton made of Obama's experience when the two were competing against each other in the Democratic primaries.

McCain adviser Charlie Black said his candidate would have preferred that the Pennsylvania GOP not air the ad using Wright's controversial anti-American statements. But "as McCain said back in the spring, he can't be the referee of every ad," Black said.
