A very disgusting ad on Olbermann

[Dangerman]

I just saw an "Pro-Surge in Iraq" ad on, of all programs, Countdown with Keith Olbermann, by some lying bastard group called "Let's Go Freedom".

What the F*ck? All of a sudden pro-war, pro-republican ads showed up on Olbermann.

[SemiCharmedQuark]

1. Well they just wasted their money considering Olbermann's audience is not likely to buy that crap.

[gateley]

3. Ha - you're right! Keep 'em comin' - spend that money! nt

[KathieG]

6. Yep...FAIL

:rofl:

[Renew Deal]

2. The 8% of people worried about Iraq might notice.

[Patsy Stone]

4. Got it here in Florida too.

Blecccch.

[CitizenPatriot]

5. got it here too

WTF? I missed the whole point, but got that they were selling FEAR at the end when they said tell "Senator Obama" blah blah. I looked up and saw the weird, threatening pallet for the type and thought, "oh, whatever...go away."

;-) wasted money, "my friends".

[rzemanfl]

7. The guy in charge of the "surge" is going to say it didn't work?

(If we saw the same ad.) Right.

[Tangerine LaBamba]

11. I felt a surge,

but I was watching a "House" rerun.

Is that what you were talking about?

Where's the Kleenex?

[rzemanfl]

15. On the nightstand next to the Trojans. Saying "Kleenex" shows

your age, it's "tissue" these days.

[Tangerine LaBamba]

19. The tissue

is in the toilet. Or near it.

Shows what you know.

[rzemanfl]

23. If you had squeezed the air out the Trojan in the tissue it would

have gone down the drain when you flushed.

[Tangerine LaBamba]

24. I tried that, but he got belligerent,

and, ultimately, it was easier just to let him rinse off and get the hell out of there.

[Starry Messenger]

8. I got it here too.

I know it's probably a national ad, but it's funny to see these suckers broadcast in Oakland, CA. Usually Comcast has more targeted ads. Oh well, wasted their money, they have.

9. "Let's Go to the Recruiter's Office!"

So much easier to make commercials.

[VeggieTart]

10. I saw it too

Yeah, Olbermann watchers are really going to buy that.

I think the way advertising works is a company or organization buys airtime for a certain block--say, 8 p.m. to midnight. If they bought it for that time on MSNBC, they were wasting their fucking money, as it's Olbermann-Maddow-Olbermann-Maddow. I think.

If they bought it from a cable company--and I doubt it, as I don't think all of us have Scumcast--then I think they buy airtime during a certain time, but the cable company picks the exact time and the station.

If I'm wrong, please correct me.

[guitar man]

27. yep

they may have made the buy for 5am to midnight or an even wider range of time periods. If they didn't make a buy that specified a specific slot, that may just be where the spot engine in the traffic program placed it.

[spanone]

12. i saw that shit...must be a 527 or some shit...swiftboaters

pissing their money away

[Bill219]

13. I believe the ad is in reference...

To the bill LIEberman wants to put before the Senate to acknowledge that the surge has worked.

Utter waste of time and there needs to be a commercial explaining that yes, the Military objective has been met, but there has been no political progress which was the whole point of the surge to begin with.

It also has to be laid out to the brain dead surgeaholics that we are bribing Sunni insurgents hundreds of thousands of dollars NOT to fight us over there and that if Muqtada al-Sadr calls off the truce that he has been agreeing to, then all hell will break loose as it did the last time he broke the truce

[endthewar]

17. I swear, some Senators should be banned from creating bills during an election cycle.

If I was a Senator trying to get some serious work done for my constituents, this type of stuff would piss me off. Some wise politician warned me about the "silly season" of politics. He was right.

[Eric J in MN]

14. They probably bought time on MSNBC without....

...specifying which shows.

[Berry Cool]

18. I think you're right.

It was a 527 ad, wedged between two other national ads, so it wasn't a local buy. They just bought time on MSNBC--like those idiots with the ad in which the girl born after a botched abortion pleads with Obama not to force poor widdle babies like herself to die.

[endthewar]

16. It's Vets For Freedom. They also had

that commercial with the different soldiers saying, "I am the surge." one after the other. Also, this is the group that made that comment about how the Democrats could have their Tiger Woods because they have John McCain when they endorsed McCain back in the spring.

[Sebastian Doyle]

26. Vets for "Freedom"?

Are they affiliated with that "Blacks against Obama" group from earlier today?

[brettdale]

20. Lets go freedom???

That sounds almost as bad as Palin calling her gun "Freedom"

[bdamomma]

21. I saw that too, what total BS.

and 7 soldiers got killed today in a helicopter, yea, the surge is working, sure it is. sickening.

those guys want to come home.

[cjsmom44]

22. RE: I saw it

I say it in Maine...what Bull Crap

[nc4bo]

25. Resolution 636? I saw that & posted it in another thread asking about obama ads on KO

VFF has been busy buying time slots.
