Santorum: Anti-McCain ad a 'nightmare' for Obama

[Contrary1]

Talk about spin. :eyes:

"ST. PAUL — An independent ad featuring a fellow prisoner of war questioning John McCain’s ability to be president is a “nightmare” for Barack Obama, former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum (R) said Wednesday.

In the ad, Philip Butler says he would not like to see McCain in the White House because of the POW experience and the Arizona senator’s temperament.

“I think I can say with authority that the prisoner-of-war experience is not a good prerequisite for president of the United States,” Butler says in the ad, which was produced by Brave New PAC, a political action committee associated with the liberal film company Brave New Films.

Brave New Films has no affiliation with the Democratic presidential candidate or his campaign. Neither presidential campaign responded to requests for comments.

Santorum, who was among the leading social conservatives when he served in the Senate, called the ad “disrespectful.” “I think it is scandalous and disrespectful to a man who has obviously sacrificed greatly for his country,” he said, adding that it is Sen. Obama’s (Ill.) “nightmare that some crazy group suggests that because someone served his country and sacrificed for his country, that he is not capable to lead.”

Santorum suggested the ad is “so outrageous that Barack Obama should be pleading for these people to take it off the air.”

"It destroys the POW argument for McCain and if it's not taken off the air, it will help Obama."
