RNC Radio Ad on Obama and Iraq
By Charles Lemos on July 24, 2008 at 11:40 PM in Barack Obama, Iraq, Republicans
This is a new one-minute radio spot being run and paid for by the RNC on behalf of John McCain. The ad attacks Senator Obama for “failing to rise above politics to protect our troops.”
From my blog, By The Fault.
I WANT TO RNC TO DESTROY OBAMA!
the*
The red state dyed-in-the-wool Republicans are waking up. Obama is worse than both Clintons put together to the GOP base, and they aren’t shy about saying so. I have read more and more comments. They weren’t crazy about McCain, but they are coming out to vote against Obama. It’s the Democratic party’s worst nightmare.
As the further-Right has no choice, they will vote. In droves. Remember that Moral Majority that elected Nixon?
Well, I know they must all be dead now cause you can’t find anybody who voted for him… but if they were to miraculously revive themselves and come out this November, there will be an ass kicking the like of never seen before.
They are all being sent to Camp Obama and retrained on how to think and vote in November.

I think that was the “silent majority” — moral majority is from that GOP guy who wrote a book on morals — but was a heavy gambler — and other such vices. Bill Bennet — I think.
Silent Majority was coined by Agnew??

The Moral Majority was an evangelical group that was a big factor in getting Reagan elected in 1980 and also helped the Republicans to take over the Senate that year. It was founded by Jerry Falwell.
oops, you’re right. too silent for my old brain to remember.
They have to hate him as much, if not more than democrats like me. The guy is just over the top ridiculous.
The RNC will attack, but Obama is his own worst enemy! He lost my vote all by himself!
I want his sorry butt shipped back to Illinois in time for Fitzpatrick to put him in a cell next to Rezko.
People will look at Obama on election day and see an anti-American, terrorist sympathizing, Marxist oriented cult leader and…
Vote
Country First
I agree!
Moss,
It appears you are from the Emerald City, how about you, Rain?
I’m in what I like to call, The City of Density, just to your south.
Enjoy both your posts!
Thanks Zeke!
I’m not sure where destiny is?
My eyes are going bad!
I can see you said density.
If it is just to the south then it must be Tacoma
Typical Seattlite…
The City of Destiny is your redneck neighbor to the south, Tacoma!
I just always got off on calling it the City of Density.
Perhaps, if Rain is also a “homey” of ours, we could meet to watch our beloved losers, the M’s, one evening at the Safe.
If you come, I promise to wear my t-shirt with Obama in a Mickey Mouse hat.
Regards
Sorry, OVERLAPPING messages!
I will be wearing my shirt that says on the front..
I would rather vote for a boring old war hero than an anti-American racist.
On the back
Obama/Marx 08
Just kidding.
How are the M’s. I stopped my subscription to the Obama Times along with the other Obama enablers months ago.
I have canceled the old media just like I have canceled the democrats from my life. Neither one represents me anymore.
I still would like to go to a game maybe with Rain and some other NW folks.
Well, I can ride the train there so I get to dodge the designated driver gig. Garlic fries and another ESB and who cares that the M’s are the worst team in Baseball.
Plenty of time to get this done. We’ll probably need to go through Susan or someone to share addresses. I’m disinclined to make it easy on the trolls… I get enough mail on shaft enhancement to have to deal with asshats too.
Zeke
Susan has my information.
Give me a call!
I’m in rural western Washington. Not much rain lately — SUN today!!
NW
This was the best day of the year!
As the song says, “I second that emotion!”
I heard that!!!! I totally agree with you.
If they don’t, they are either delusional or as crroked as Obama.
I think I meant crooked.
McCain is going to have to hit much harder than this AND he’s going to have to get his campaign back on track. This Obama Magical Mystery Tour, McCain’s boring public appearances and the media’s lack of interest in
Straigt Talk are killing McCain. Sometimes I wonder if he actually wants to get elected. If so he’s got to get his staff and his behind back in gear.
M-girl,
After long investigation into as much of Obama’s illegal activities as I could stomach, I have come to the conclusion that there is some sort of Bombshell waiting in the wings.
This may turn out to be a phenomenal degree of restraint on the part of the Rep’s. Since so much of this has been independently discovered, there has to be truth in the info. That being said, they are waiting for his official nomination and them, Boom, Pow, To the Moon…
I agree. The McCain campaign is the weakest campaign I have ever seen. I surmise that McCain thinks people will vote for him just because he is a nice guy. He spends too much time apologizing for what others in his party say or do and looks bad doing this. He also spends too much time saying “I respect Senator Obama”, “Senator Obama does not hold Wright’s views”, etc. He would be better off just to keep his mouth shut rather than going on like this. If McCain wants to win he better be able to take off the gloves.
The op-ed piece that NYT refused to print was him fighting. He took Obama’s lame op-ed and took it apart piece by piece. NYT wouldn’t let him in the ring to fight.
McCain has to run as the nice guy. The media is in the tank for Obama and that won’t change. There is plenty to attack Obama on besides just throwin dirt. But I agree the message should be sharper. McCain should have gone after Obama on trade and taxes as soon as he started moving to the middle. It’s his biggest weakness and the issue that Democrats like to bring up as part of their platform now - money.
Yes Zeke. I hope that is the case. I am with you. As for the pow to the moon…can they send the upper DNC bunch with him?
The RNC has to start thinking outside the box. This is a different type of battle.
I prefer that HRC stay away from any fallout if there is an October surprise. Let O and his crew fall hard!
If Obama were to Pick Hillary as his Vp,and If O falls hard in October, that would leave Clinton as the Nominee wouldn’t it. Good enough for me.
Yeah, but the fleas!
She’d never get clear of his stench. I’m amazed at how well she’s faking her interest. ‘Ms. Hil’ is not one to forget a slight much less having her pocket picked and ass pinched at the same time.
She is doing a thing they sometimes call statesmanship.
I attended the NCO academy at Ft. Benning back when Custer was still fresh in everyone’s minds and there was an entryway there with this sign over the door.
“Tact: The art of telling someone to go to hell, and have them look forward to the journey.”
Politics is not like war in one major issue. Losers in political “battles” have often been proven by history to be the winners of “wars.”
She won’t play with Barry that far. Besides, good ol’ Bill and he are NOT trading Christmas Cards.
TOTALLY AGREE, that is my super secret plan!
I wrote earlier that this thing may get more lopsided than when Goldwater went down in ‘64.
It is easier to list the groups that idiot hasn’t pissed off than the other way around… And now he disses our wounded heroes???
Sometimes I’d like to bitch slap him across a room.
Picture it…
Forehand..
Backhand..
Forehand…
Backhand…
Well, a guy can dream can’t he?
Let me have a “Yes, We Can!”
If McCain does too much, Obama copies. So McCain is letting Obama dig himself a hole first. Then McCain will hit back. These ads are just a diversion. The real games don’t start until the nominees are official.
BINGO!
Obama copies — he is NOT an original.
McCain is doing a Hillary is is flying under the media spot light — because the media has a hard-on for Obama. So let the media force an overdose of Obama.
DCMediaGirl, The whole sorry flea circus is really grinding away, isn’t it.
McCain is being framed by the MSM, and he isn’t providing much for BO’s Crap Cannon, and BO …well as Ann Riderson said once ..
“You can put lipstick and earrings on a hog and call it Monique, but it’s still a pig.”
Ann Richards …oops
“I’ve always said that in politics, your enemies can’t hurt you, but your friends will kill you.”
And yet McCain’s numbers are up.
JSM has to be careful to challenge BOBO without appearing to attack him. The media will come back to defend their darling. Not only that but only the defense makes the cut and as we saw during the primary, the reasoned and well articulated questioning of positions never makes it to the 6:00 news without focusing on the snippet that makes the most unflattering look at (in this case) McCain. In this new environment of total media manipulation for Obama, it is going to fall more and more to the 527’s to do it. Sadly.
He’s still polling practically even with BO, and gaining in swing states. This hasn’t even started yet.
Obama cannot lead a boy scout troop. I cannot come across one instance where Obama has shown any real leadership. He could not even lead his family out of a hellish church. This guy is all hype and no substance.
Obama needs hundreds of advisors to tell him what to do and cue cards just to speak — how can he possibly lead?
I had a friend who used to say, “he couldn’t lead a group of drunk Marines to a whorehouse!” From what he has done to our servicemen while in Germany and the ‘Stan, they wouldn’t follow him anywhere.
Chase… perhaps
Obama is a follower — he has shown leadership ability on anything.
In the debates he followed (copied) Clinton — because that’s what Obama does — he copies.
There was a movie years ago — The Candidate with Robert Redford. Redford played a character who was running for the US Senate.
Obama is surrounded by people who build up his ego and protect him — put him in a bubble. He’s not exactly being a leader — he has people leading him around by his . . . ego.
Anyway at the end of the movie — the Candidate — Redford won — and his response was — no what — from there on the show was his.
Obama will NEVER be ready for leadership — he will always follow. His dumb cult followers “think” he is leading them — but they are just suckers.
I wouldn’t worry about McCain — he has plenty of time — or the GOP has plenty of time to unload all their research on Obama — too much, too soon the shock will wear off.
Anyway Obama is doing such a great job of screwing up — why waste the money now.
And then team Obama is going to piss off the sports fans who tune in to see the Olympic games — $5 Million of Obama-crap — people are going to be SICK of Obama.
damned I can’t write –
Obama hasn’t shown leadership ability on anything of importance to American.
As usual my friend, you got it.
Obama, as you say, cannot lead a Boy Scout troop (besides, who would want Boy Scout troop to learn Chicago-style politics?) Obama has, however, shown himself to be very good at leading Lemmings. And you know where they go.
Media, then explain why McCain is leading in swing states.
We’re thinking about it, but he may beat us to the punch and destroy himself first. Also, if you Pumas keep doing like you’ve been doing, you may cross our plans up, and down him before the Denver convention - then we go our separate ways but still there will be that champagne moment first. We all deserve it.
Seriously, we’ll be glad that you’ve seen the MSM similarly as we’ve seen it for long years - different explanations for it, but similar phenomenon. And we’ve seen that there are a whole lot of contemporary Democrats whose patriotism is the real fighting thing. And many of us won’t forget that. Yeah, I know, we should have known all along. I’m particularly intrigued that the thugs seem to have sorted themselves out into Obama’s side.
I have to admit that I like that photo of Hillary in the rain over at HillBuzz. I like to think that Obama would be prissy like, who permitted this rain? But he’s an organizer with insight, he’s Sybok, watch out for him.
I will be my glorious to bring down BO before convention, we can celebrate for one night and then we will go our seperate ways!
btw, I also love that picture of HRC in the rain.
Obama will definately would have complained about that. I hope it rains the day of his nomination speech LMAO!
If this wasn’t so important and scary cuz it’s real life and we must defeat Obama….I’d say that sounds like the making of a cute movie! Repubs and Real Dems join together to bring down the O … then at
the end they meet for one champagne toast..starring Meg Ryan as the Democrat and of course Tom Hanks as the repug…okay okay a rip off of You’ve Got Mail…I love that movie Okay!
WooT!
country before party
Maybe the RNC is waiting until Obama has spun a web for himself, and has made himself larger then life, so that when they scandalize him, it will stick and he will look like a hypocrite. I guess time will tell?
The bigger they are, the harder they fall.
I have not met one single Obama supporter who is one bit grateful for our troops. The public doesn’t like the war in Iraq, but they aren’t about to make MORE problems by electing Stupid.
They know McCain can get us out without losing face. He really doesn’t HAVE TO perform Barackflips…oops, is that racist?
I gotta tell ya, it amazes me how each and every time Barry has a chance to make a smart decision, he screws the pooch.
One of our posters talked earlier about his possible mental illness as a narcissist. Sorry, too lazy to chase back to the posting but it was spot on.
He so glibly denies real events, statements he made in front of cameras. How many, “I never said”s can he blow out his ass?
My son, who is a very gentle man, has been on me for months that I’ve gone over the edge in my war against Barry but tonight I got a call.
He said, “Dad, you’re right. The man is crazy.”
You are now free to imagine my craggy visage beaming from ear to ear.
And the pooch ain’t too happy about it.
Just went up and caught that… Cool!
Damn!
You people are kicking my butt tonight! I just clean up the EXPENSIVE ale off the keyboard and another of drops me cold. Mercy!!!
Gotta say he does screw the pooch often. Where does it end? I see this creep and his crew of creeps working the US just like the Nazi Youth Corp did. I just hope that there is a big RNC surprise waiting for this clown.
Is a old saying if someone is tearing themselves apart stay out of their way. McCain is gaining in the polls and 70 percent now agree with McCain that we should drill so i dont see a need to panic. The time to watch for all out gloves off is last two weeks of the campaign
Yup,
Remember Bette Davis in ‘All About Eve’? Well, google it if you don’t. Real good movie.
She said, “Fasten your seatbelts, it’s going to be a bumpy night!”
If it weren’t really for all the marbles, this would make a good Hitchcock movie. The plot gets a little unbelievable at times but the surprise ending is gonna be a mutha!
Whoa Zeke, this is weird I just posted a similar comment with a movie reference above. Different movie and different theme but similar nonetheless.
Great movie! I think the stretch is not going to wear well with the public. I see multitudes of mini cracks.
I love that movie. Another great line is when Bette Davis says, “Remind me of the time I looked into the heart of an artichoke.”
If you see your enemy drowning, throw them an anchor.
Zeke our nephew whom is 28 called us tonight from Mpls and said, “Your right, Obama is not who we thought he was!” I jumped for joy because his group was in the tank for Obama. Drip Drip Drip It is really starting to happen. He is destroying himself.
Him and his thugs. So arrogant. No Class at all.
There has to be light at the end of the tunnel.
Unfortunately for Barry boy, that light is the onrushing Train of the Truth and he is way too far down the tunnel to escape!
This is almost making me want to sing folk songs again. Almost… (Django’d roll in his grave if I really did) but doesn’t it almost remind you of that sense of enlightenment you always thought about? You know, the time when, for awhile you actually thought you really Had It Figured Out?
And the scales fell off of their eyes…
People are really snapping out of it!
AFR!
I am truly happy for you and know how you feel!
Wahoo!
HELLO AGAIN EVERYONE! ITS GOOD TO BE BACK!
When I confront an OSupporter with some comment like “Obama Sucks”, they are so doubtful and insecure, they just look like they’re going to cry or have a breakdown right there and then.
If someone heckled me about a Hillary sign, I’d at least say something like “Go to He**!”
This is because you are questioning them — making them think — and your remark is unexpected.
You’ve done nothing violent — you are merely making a statement of opinion.
Obama’s support is really weak — there are the few hard core nut cases — but the people who are starting to wake up from whatever spell Obama has them under — these are the ones who will respond as you described.
I tried this — Obama sucks in February — and the Obama cultist merely told me to check out the Obama website — ALL my questions would be answered. Of course these same idiots had not done any homework and claimed that Obama has been a US Senator for 12 years!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Doubt about Obama’s adequacy are starting to get passed the cult implants!
The Obama tour, is the play it safe tour he smile and the camera loves it , but someone told me once that ” everyone get sick of everyone”.
Did I miss something? Has the Presidential election taken place and Obama won?
According to The Atlantic, the Obama team is working on Obama’s Presidential transition.
In addition:
Obama’s Foreign Policy Advisor had to be reminded he couldn’t invoke White House rules and traditions since Obama was not in the White House.
Obama replaced the American flag with his logo on the campaign plane.
Obama unveiled a “Presidential” seal for use at campaign events.
What is going on here? This is out of control.
http://marcambinder.theatlantic.com/archives/2008/07/obama_team_begins_work_on_pres.php
Easy, Pink
We’ve almost been celebrating tonight with realization that this guy is imploding.
He shoots himself in the foot more each day and Today! Today he reaffirms his hatred of our military. I don’t remember any candidate who was against our military who ever got elected.
It is by far the biggest mistake of a series of mistakes.
He is circling the drain and about to be flushed.
July 24th may turn out to be the day the tide turned.
Thanks Zeke. I’ll go drink another case of boone’s farm.
I’m a fan of the Great Northwest ales myself but lets tip one together right now.
Cheers!
Horseshit. He didn’t dis any wounded heroes. The Pentagon, which as usual is shitting on the Constitution by being in the bag for the Republicans, announced at the last minute that they wouldn’t support his trip to the hospital base because it’s a “campaign trip.” Andrea Mitchell and others are reporting this this morning. It’s typical underhanded scumbag Bush-era GOP politics infecting the military, a really, really low blow at Obama. So of course you useful idiots will love it and go scurrying around parroting your Rush Limbaugh talking points that Obama doesn’t support the troops. You are low-info sheep with zero sense of genuine honor; your blithe lies about the troops for political purposes are the most profound form of real disrespect I can imagine.
right, blame it on the pentagon
The base was ready for him and said, “We don’t know why he passed us up.”
Horseshit is right, but it’s from Obama, not the military.
The real answer was pretty obvious. The base had told him, “No press.”
Why bother if it’s not a Kodak moment?
He’s a hypocrite.
Sigh. Here’s the link:
http://newsbusters.org/blogs/mark-finkelstein/2008/07/25/mitchell-scuttlebutt-says-mccain-sabotaged-obama-military-hospital
It doesn’t matter. You PUMAs do not live in reality and don’t care what actually happened; you just want the latest piece of dirt to throw at Obama; whether it is true or not is of no relevance whatsoever. We all know this; why pretend otherwise. You Republicans did the same thing to Bill Clinton in the 90s, and the press always goes along with it; it’s why Bill got impeached over a lie about his sex life and Bush has gotten away with profound war crimes and everyone just rolls over. Now you Republican scum pretending to be Democrats are trying to do the same to Obama. Good fucking luck. We will bury you in November.
Right, blame McCain.
just answer this question.
Why did Obama not get up and cheer our troops at the state of the union like Hillary and the other patriotic Americans in attendance?
Obamabots are unpatriotic and wished for defeat in Iraq.
Shame on you Anti-Americans!!!
Now you’re defining patriotism by which Bush applause lines a man stood up for? LOL. My God, can any human beings get more ignorant and shallow and sheeplike and robotic than you people proudly spraying your GOP talking points? It’s like there is some conveyor belt of data nuggets that begins with Karl Rove, gets processed through Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity and spew out the mouths of PUMAs, who then congratulate themselves on the originality of their thought.
You people are a menace to democracy and freedom.
this summed up BOBO’s patriotism perfectly
http://nextstoplauderdale.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/10/obama-and-the-nat-ant.jpg
I will ask you again!
Why did he not get up and clap the success of the surge??
Only someone against the surge and victory in Iraq would do such a thing.
We are hiring a commander and chief to keep us safe and look out for the best interests of America.
Obama is more concerned with getting elected
If Obama and people like yourself had their way America today would be a defeated and disgraced country.
Thanks to McCain !!
America today is not a defeated and humiliated country.
obama is a menace to democracy and freedom. you’ll be drafted by obambi IF he ever wins the white house (doubtful) to fight his wars or to be part of his hitler youth brigage, oops, I mean civilian national security force.
obama is an unqualified, egotistical prick who will say anything to get elected. can’t help our soldiers, can’t thank them, can’t admit his own mistakes.
its judgment day, baby! he will be judged harshly and thrown in the dust bin of history like every other charlatan.
enjoy your koolaid, but don’t come crying here when you lose. we told you, troll.
sf you need to understand..
That It’s a new day
A democratic Iraq rich like the other pro western oil countries is within reach.
A few years from now Iraq will be a prime investment and the Iraqi people will be free
I’m bullish on Iraq!
Just so that you know..
Overthrowing a Stalinist dictatorship in Iraq and building a pro western democratic country uniquely allied with the United States is worth the effort.
I don’t mean to shock you sf but I do believe someday soon the Iraq war will be looked on as a Brilliant Strategy to prevent global resource wars by having an American presence in the heart of the middle east.
You sound so defeated now sf.
You are losing now by wishing defeat and humiliation and acting Anti-American.
The American people no longer support your view!
You don’t know what the fuck you’re talking about. Not a clue. Hearing you speak of Iraq’s wealth is particularly sad and ironic. Do a little reading about the oil law passed by the Iraqi parliament two years ago (its members handpicked by the Pentagon after Bremer cancelled the free elections when polling indicated that left-leaning nationalist candidates were going to win). It grants foreign petroleum companies like Exxon and BP to extract oil from Iraq’s reserves, pipe it out, and keep 100% of the profits. Basically, we conquered Iraq, allowed its infrastructure to be demolished, allowed a sectarian war to destroy the country socially, and passed “laws” to steal the nation’s entire economic future in order to benefit the huge oil industry that Bush and Cheney belong to. And pious ignoramuses like you talk about the wealthy democracy we’ve created. Your level of ignorance and delusion is sad and tragic, and the Iraqis understand this; it’s why the Prime Minister (al-Maliki, you maybe have heard of him at least?) has publicly sided with Obama in insisting that the U.S. army leave his country already within two years. They know they’ve been screwed over. I would imagine that the only thing more insulting than knowing you’ve been blasted to hell is listening to assholes like you sanctimoniously blither ignorantly about how good the invasion was. Really, sometimes the shit you PUMAs say is just beyond belief. You are like absurdist parodies of dumbass Americans.
even BOBO admits the surge is working.
Meaning what? Does your level of geopolitical understanding extend beyond the grade-school formulation “the surge is working?” Let me try and help you: yes, the increased U.S. troop presence appears to be one of several major factors that led to a dramatic decrease in the catastrophic level of violence that had already largely destroyed Iraq as a functioning nation. But “the surge” hasn’t done squat to produce a lasting power-sharing arrangements between the Sunnis and the Shiites (McCain himself doesn’t appear to understand the difference between these two Muslim sects so perhaps none of you McCain voters do either); or to increase the independence or professionalism of the Iraqi army, which remains largely helpless and dependent on our troops; or to repair the shattered infrastructure that our hundreds of billions of borrowed dollars were supposed to protect, and then to repair, neither of which happened.
And, you know, of course, the “surge” isn’t going to give half a million dead Iraqis and 4,000-plus U.S. servicemen and women their lives back. It will never erase the vast tsunami of blood that our scumbag war criminal of a president unleashed, and McCain wants to extend. But it’s not like any of you give a shit about trivialities like mass murder. You just want to be able to say Obama wants “defeat” because it makes you feel good.
Assholes. You have no clue what real patriotism consists of. None. You insult the very idea with every breath you take.
Actually I do have clue what real patriotism consists of.
When it’s time to vote. You vote.
When it’s time to pay your taxes. You pay your taxes.
When it’s time to fight. You fight.
Do these three thing and you’ll always have this country to call home.
now.. rage some more for me. LOL you’re your own riot.
Patriotism to you means Defeat and abandonment of the Iraqi’s so that you can have your guy elected
