The Obama campaign has released new radio and TV ads in Spanish that seek to tie Sen. John McCain to anti-immigrant comments made by radio talk show host Rush Limbaugh. The ads also suggest the Republican has "dos caras" -- "two faces" -- when it comes to his relations with Latino voters. The new messages, airing in Colorado, Nevada and New Mexico, come in response to recent Spanish-language ads by the McCain campaign that suggest Obama is responsible for the collapse of last year's bipartisan immigration reform efforts.

"They want us to forget the insults we've put up with, the intolerance," the television ad's announcer says in Spanish as a picture of Rush Limbaugh appears onscreen with quotes of him saying, "Mexicans are stupid and unqualified" and "Shut your mouth or get out."

1. Jake Tapper, in his blog on ABC News, is criticizing Obama over this:

Personally, it seems hard to take those quotes out of context.

2. Lol, Tapper says Limbaugh is no fan of McCain?

He's certainly "carrying the water" for him though. My God.

And if some of his facts are not 100% truthful....................to bad ;)

5. McPalin shouldn't have lied so much about Obama...

I think Barack would have been fine with "leaving the gloves on" had the Republics chosen
to run a respectful campaign.

Oh well, it sucks to be McCain/Palin now. :nopity:
