RNC and John McCain Condemn Anti-Obama TV Ad; Hillary Clinton Mum

Nancy: You are so right about Obama. Obama never like white people as a young boy and he doesn't now. He needs their votes to win and in the states of MN,SC & WI they gave him the win. When will the white people ever wake up to the fact that he is using them for his own advantage to make history like MLK. Obama never went to the southside of Chicago to meet the families who lost their children to gun violence. He doesn't care about them he cares only about himself. He lives in Hyde Park next the Ayers who went underground because of his bombing. His pastor has hated the white people since time. Pastor's are suppose to preach the gospel of Jesus Christ not politics. Obama knew this when he attended that church. I view Obama as anti-american and a racist. The voters in IN and NC better wake up to this fact.

This is a brilliant move by McCain. This ad now moves into prime time replay, McCain looks like the "I'm above this kind of nonsense" kind of candidate, and of course the NC Republican party is going to keep the ad anyway, because McCain knows it's none of his business what ads they use. NICE MOVE, MCCAIN!

Vanessa: That's good that the republicans want Hillary because Hillary can beat McCain at his game. With Obama as nominee McCain would get a landslide. If you think the battleground states would vote for Obama you better think again. Hillary's voters would switch to McCain. Get a grip. You better listen to the news more often. Those states that voted for Hillary didn't want Obama to begin that's why they didn't vote for him. I know there are many Hillary haters on the internet but that's evident, the Clinton's accomplished their goals in life and made their millions that way. Jealousy doesn't get you anywhere it just eats into you. And that's what is happening to the Hillary haters on the internet. These people probably set their goals and couldn't accomplish them and they dislike those that did.

Iona: Who hasn't seen the AD. I think its great and it tells the truth about Obama. You are well aware of the facts about Obama because they were told on the internet and George brought one out at the debate. Obama did not choose the right people to associate with. If your not anti-american yourself why then would you associate with Ayers, the underground dog who was wanted by the Feds, a pastor that is racist, anti-american and hates white people. Its bad enough he associated with Farrakhan and Rezko. Obama may have you fooled but the battleground states that didn't vote for him weren't fooled by his copied speeches of RFK with RFK's word of hope. Obama is a liar and a fake and its the majority of the college students of today that are voting for him because he is in their class of booze and drugs.

First McCain was wrong for criticizing the ad for 3 reasons

1- It was not an ad for his presidency
2- It was truthful
3- Is not Obama playing ads criticizing McCain's age?

Is Obama going to tell Soros not to use the 50 million + dollars they have on the side to attack McCain?
Is Obama going to tell Moveon, Daily kooks, media matters, NYT, MSNBC, CNN, CBS, NBC and other liberal organizations to not say negative about McCain.

There is a difference between Liberal ads and Republicans the ones from Republican are based on true facts, the ones from libs are outright lies!

As already seen from the NYT and CBS!!

PP, you wrote: "...in this plan you can keep your own insurance you have now."

A couple of months ago, during one of the debates in which Sen. Clinton and Sen. Obama were detailing their respective health care plans, Sen. Clinton made a very bold statement. She stated that those individuals who are pleased with their current medical insurance can keep that insurance..."For Now." She actually said, "For Now."

The discussion of 47 million people being uninsured is just a complete ruse. Both Sen. Clinton and Sen. Obama detest private medical insurance. They both want to eventually do away with private medical insurance and replace it with a Medicare like bureaucracy. But they are also keenly aware that eliminating private medical insurance cannot occur overnight. That it must be a gradual transition. But their ultimate goal is for a complete federal government takeover of our medical healthcare system.

Why should Hillary Clinton step into this????

Obama chose Wright, and for some people, that is an issue. Obama must demonstrate that he can refute the issue effectively. More importantly, he must show that he can stand on his own. If he wants to win, he cant rely on Hillary as a foil and he certainly cant rely on her to defend him.

Anyone who thinks that we would not see this kind of stuff (and much worse) in the general election is living in the Obamasphere. Let's get real.

Yes...Hillary is behind this too - she's behind everything isn't she.

1) It's not her ad

2) The ad has nothing to do with the Presidential Primary - the Republicans have other nefarious purposes for running the ad.

3) Get a clue

Lisa who wrote
"I want to know what each candidate will do for me"

You should vote for Obama then. He is the Socialist candidate.

I don't care about the whole context of Rev.Wright's sermon. The truth is he damns rich white people then moves into a multi-million dollar home in a white neighborhood.
And even if he only said "GD America" one time and blamed 9/11 on us one time then that is unacceptable to me.
And this is who Obama looks up to for 20 years?
Obama insults our intelligence by saying he never heard the sermons, DVD's,newsletters. Some can ignore this.

But I have to look at myself in the mirror everyday and I will not have any part of putting this man in the White House. America deserves better.

wake up call

it has moved from being an "issue" as you say to a distraction...

Obama is trying to cut through 15 years of branding as the only game in town by the Clintons... McCain knows this is a distraction...

McCain knows more than any other issue these politics are hurting the country

too bad that clinton and her supporters don't realize that...

but I guess that is the problem with this country clintons bushes cheneys etc... all add up to the game for a bunch of rich people to play when they are not at the country club...

get off the low-level human debate...

we are a better country than that...

atleast two of these candidates are acting like Presidents. Hillary should join them but unfortunately to join this conversation she is lacking quite a bit of character.

The worst fall out of those from the "me" generation.

Hillary will soon move on from making history to being history ! Where is that iron ?

Have we returned to a McCarthyesque world? Guilt by association is selling again? Now it’s guilt by association twice removed? What a shell game…and we’ll all be conned if we buy into it.

About Wright, do some of you even know anything beyond the out-of-context snippets on TV? Do you know the complete text of the sermons, and therefore the fuller meaning? Try this article from the Christian Science Monitor called, “Did Obama’s Pastor Preach Hate?”

By no means do I condone the wrong-headed, harsh, and hurtful statements in question, but what arrogance and, if you’re Christian, how un-Christian to judge a man’s lifework based on a minute of footage! And how illogical and unfair to judge a man by another man’s statements!

By this guilt-by-association measure, McCain is very guilty: He sought out and said he was “very honored” to receive John Hagee’s endorsement. Hagee, if you’re not aware, refers to the Catholic Church as “the whore of Babylon, "The Great Whore," an "apostate church," a "false cult system," and "the "anti-Christ." He preaches a far-out Scriptural prophecy that espouses a pre-emptive military strike against Iran to bring about Armageddon. Google it.

Then there’s Rod Parsley and his extreme views. McCain, who stood beside the evangelical minister at a 2/26/08 Cincinnati rally, said, "I am very honored today to have one of the truly great leaders in America, a moral compass, a spiritual guide…thank you for your leadership and your guidance."

Among Parsley’s extreme fundamentalist views: there should be no separation between church and state in this country; “Allah was a demon spirit" and there is no difference between violent Islamic extremists and other followers of Islam; and “…America was founded, in part, with the intention of seeing this false religion destroyed.”

It seems to me the Republican smear machine has lost the “Obama equals Wright” argument. After all, McCain only “speaks out against” Hagee's bizarre anti-Catholic rants but still "admires and respects Dr. Hagee’s leadership of his Church" and he’s still glad that he sought out, received, and accepted Hagee's endorsement. McCain sought out and accepted Parsley's endorsement.

I shouldn’t forget: Remember the Keating Five?

CONTINUED ABOVE.

iona, the article clearly says that the north carolina REPUBLICAN party did the ad - do you think hillary somehow controls the repubs? puleeze!!!

of course they blame hillary for someone else's ad. they blame hillary for global warming, warm beer, cold eggs, whatever. funny how they don't blame obama when others attack hillary.

mccain is no idiot - condemn the ads, look like a good guy. the ads run anyway. same thing obama does all the time - pretend to be a good guy, have surrogates trash hillary. obamaites love it when hillary's the target, but somehow not so much when their guy's on the receiving end.

get used to it, politics is tough.

oops, forgot, obama's too weak for this, won't even debate any more now that his weakness was exposed, we should give him a break. sorry, not happening.

Clinton desperation is clearly showing. Do you really believe that she hasn't seen the ad?
Perhaps she doesn't have the class to recognize a clear example that
Mcain displayed?

"This morning I asked three different communications officers of the Clinton campaign for comment on the TV ad." jpt
--------------------------------------

Why didn't you ask Barack Obama and/or his campaign for comment on the TV ad?

Jeremiah Wright will certainly continue to be an issue in the general election if Barack Obama should win the nomination.

NcCain is a tactical genuis...By the way when you condemn something it just gives it more play.

Maybe she's still waiting for Obama to condemn the Spanish ads run by 527's in Nevada against Clinton. Give me a break.

Give Hillary time...maybe she hasn't seen the ad yet. I'm not sure if she needs to get involved in NC gobernatorial race. This is Republicans as usual.....Ads tying Obama supporters to Wright's views are going to be popping up all over the country.
