“Part of the Problem”

By medusa on October 29, 2008 at 7:50 PM in 527s, Advertising, Barack Obama, Christopher Dodd, Economy, Housing & Housing Crisis, John Kerry

Created by the conservative group “Let Freedom Ring,” this one-minute ad just aired during prime time in the swing state where I live. I think it’s very effective.


What else is going on?

  • Anne

    It is about time, but the video has been removed already?

    • Keia

      So first the link to the ad didn’t work…
      now you put a good link there…TO THE WRONG AD.

      The copy says 1-minute ad. This is a :30.

      So how the hell are we supposed to know which ad you want us to watch?

    • Keia

      You still have the WRONG AD posted in the story.

  • Georgia

    Well anyone that watched the O’Reilly Factor tonight should be very pleased. He really dished Obama. Did a great job. Every guest SPOKE THE TRUTH. Said polls are moving in McCains direction and the “folks” are scared of the Big O and polls indicate this. Anyone else watch it?

    • John Smith

      I’ll catch it later on tonight.

      • shadow

        Yep, I saw it. His show is usually good. Hannity has Rudy on now. They showed a clip of oblahblah. Sean said he was embarassing.

  • wiley

    Medusa – The video you’ve posted has been removed.
    Is this the ad?

      No. And it appears that the video has been removed from the site, which isn’t opening from the link above. Sorry about that. I’ve asked someone to replace the video for me–should happen before too long.

      And here’s a working url for the Let Freedom Ring.

        It’s back up. What a riot – and how true!

      • McHope

        Here’s the link for neverfindout.
        They have all the videos from the group there.

      • Keia

        It’s not the right ad above.

  • cookiegramma

    I saw the ad, or at least part of it on Fox tonight, strong. isn’t Let Freedon Ring affliated with hannity?

  • wiley

    Ohh, The OUTRAGE!

    Obama effigy found on U. of Kentucky campus

    (Snip)

    University President Lee Todd said he planned to apologize to the Obama family on behalf of the school and that he is “personally offended and deeply embarrassed by this disgusting episode.”

    Anyone know if Palin’s family have received an apology from LA/West Hollywood yet?

    • Northwest rain

      So now we have an answer — it is NOT ok to hang Obama but it is just fine — if Palin is hung.

      Double standards — why is misogyny so “American”?

    • Typewriterstreaming

      Get me a violin to play for Obama already. Not a word about the Palin from a noose, but the world turneth over for baby Barack. Sick. Just sick already.

    • csuzeq

      No. When women are attacked, it’s acceptable, as long as she isn’t black. That would be a hate crime.

  • cookiegramma

    I have not heard of any apology to the Palin’s, they claim it is in the spirit of Halloween and think that makes it okay.

    • jbjd

      This indicates people clinging to their guns and religion have a less well-developed sense of humor than people living on the West Coast.

      • PKJayne

        I’ll cling to my bible and guns……..that is no sense of humor

    • csuzeq

      The creator said it is art.

  • 30yrdem

    bio has a McCain show on now, Bo on next for 1 hour. Palin will be on after that for 30 min. then Biden for 30 min.

  • Sarracuda

    Larry King is a disgusting fraud. He claims he is a jew, yet he can shake the hand of Ahmadenejad and he says “According to fatcheck.org there is no relationship between Obama and Khalili” Factcheck.org isnt that run by the Annenburg Challenge, oh yeah VERY reliable. I wonder what Larry will be saying once the tape comes out and you hear Obama saying that the Jews have NO God given right to Palestine

    • 30yrdem

      They are all liars at CNN….they will say anything to cover for BO.

      BIO on McCain pretty good….I wish Palin was on after instead of BO next.

      Holy crap!!! The Times story is amazing!

      • wiley

        Interesting claim from the Aunty Zeituni article:

        Speaking outside her home in Flaherty Way, South Boston, on Tuesday, Ms Onyango, 56, confirmed she was the “Auntie Zeituni” in Mr Obama’s memoir. She declined to answer most other questions about her relationship with the presidential contender until after the November 4 election. “I can’t talk about it, I just pray for him, that’s all,” she said, adding: “After the 4th, I can talk to anyone.”

        Can’t talk about it?
        The article claims that she has had no contact with The One in some time, but it still begs the question,; Why?

        Is this a decision she came to on her own? Call me a nut, but for some strange reason, I’m more than a little suspicious when it comes to the silencing of Barkys relatives…especially the Kenyan ones.

        Speaking of BOs relatives, the Times also has a good read entitled, “How Michelle Obama changed her abrasive image to ‘Mom-in-chief’”

    • Typewriterstreaming

      Once again there is a member of Obama’s family living on the fringe. How can he live with himself?

  • Faith

    Wow! Medusa, if wiley’s link is the ad,it is awesome and really needed as the “savior of the world” spits out his lies tonight. Bet he tries to come across as a somewhat fiscal moderate with conservative underpinnings. I’m not going to watch his circus but I bet he does an excellent acting job.

  • Denise
    • Margaret

      That is one kickass ad!

    • http://medusa2.wordpress.com medusa

      Great ad! The RNC has done some good ones.

      I like the ones by Let Freedom Ring (Never Find Out) because they mostly use smart young people. It’s such a relief to see young adults involved in politics who aren’t wearing those horrible misogynistic tee-shirts and/or thugging for Bozo.

    • csuzeq

      This one is great. I often use the example of a surgeon. I have told Obama supporters that saying Obama is qualified to be President after 143 days as a Senator is like saying I have taken a shit and so I am qualified to be a colorectal surgeon.

  • wodiej

    LOL…good ad!! thanks for posting…

  • wiley

    Matt Drudge – Love him or hate him, he sure does have a sense of humor!

    The Drudge Report has a headline reading “144 HOURS” featuring a picture of The One with the sun at his back.

    I admit, I clicked the link (as I’m sure millions of others will do) expecting a review of the Barky infomercial which I refused to watch.
    Instead it points to this link, http://apnews.myway.com/article/20081030/D944GD9O0.html .

    It’s an even handed review of JOHN McCAIN’S appearance on Larry King this eve.

    • Typewriterstreaming

      Okay, that is a hoot. I saw that miserable Barack photo and couldn’t click on the link. Drudge is the man tonight! Ha! thanks for telling us.

      This commercial was a hoot! I love the Chicken button. Wish they could afford to run this nationally so all the Obama NYC boobs at my job could eat it.

  • Peggy Sue

    Love this! The “Chicken Button.” Hah!

    Thanks for putting it up, Medusa. These ads are getting better and better!

    What else is going on?

    I have to vent…

    1) I am embarrassed for America that someone as disgusting as OHitler is where he is. All I can say is WTF?

    2) I am embarrassed that I live and work in Hollywood with a bunch of morons who will NOT listen to the TRUTH about OHitler and are voting to destroy my country.

    3) I am TIRED of sleepless nights, smoking cigarettes and drinking coffee until 4 am because I am TERRIFIED that America as we know it is lost.

    4) I am IRATE that the country my FATHER fought for, and risked his life to protect, is soon to become a THIRD WORLD COUNTRY due to complete imbeciles like Pelosi, Reid, Brazile, Dean, Frank, etc.

    5) I am sick of LIBERALS and their HATRED of anything and everything AMERICAN.

    6) I am APPALLED that Wright, Pfleger, Dorhn, Ayers, Khalidi, Al Monsour, Rezko, Odinga, and all of the other criminal activities and associates of OHitler do NOT resonate with voters. WTF again?

    7) I am TIRED of having to plan to LEAVE the country I love more than my own life because I WILL NOT stand by helpless while ignorant pigs like Pelosi and OHitler destroy us.

    8) I am sad that there are people who think it’s OKAY for Ayers to stand on the flag, OHitler to piss on our patriotism, and want to reward it with a vote.

    9) I am APPALLED that everyone KNOWS what was done to Hillary but these morons won’t cross party lines and will still vote for cheating, lying THIEF OHitler.

    10) I am APPALLED by the sexism of this race. OHitler has trashed every woman near him from Alice Palmer, to Hillary to Palin and yet so many stupid, ignorant WOMEN are going to vote for this misogynistic creep. WTF again?

    11) I am APPALLED that I am watching the CONSTITUTION literally be crapped on over and over by OHitler and the FREAKS who support him. This country is unique and remarkable and all of that is slipping away.

    12) I am APPALLED by the media. There isn’t a WTF BIG ENOUGH for what I think of them.

    I could go on and on. I am nervous, scared, horrified, disgusted and appalled. Now, I don’t believe OHitler will win. But the fact that he is this close shows that America needs to clean house. Big time.

    Okay, whew. Maybe I feel better. I just hope this idiotic INFOMERCIAL bombs.

    Can you tell me if the article on Newsmax was correct about all of the strong arm tactics in the primaries and how people were deprived of voting at the caucuses?

    The article said there was legal action being taken… Surely this should have been cleared up before we got to the final week of the election.

    Linda

  • DavidM

    The L. A. Times has a tape that shows Obama calling or agreeing with Palestine sympathizers about Israel being a terrorist state. Why isn’t your news network reporting this? Why isn’t your network yelling that the tape should be release? Again; I say that there are many journalists should be placed in jail for disloyalty to America. CNN should try reporting the truth for a change.

    ======================================

    Uhhhh yeah it’s true. I PRODUCED the movie that Newsmax referenced http://www.wewillnotbesilenced2008.com. Go look. OHitler didn’t LEGALLY WIN the nomination. PERIOD. I can tell you FIRST HAND that all of it, ALL OF IT, is TRUE.

    • Linda Beckett

      How come this is not out there on Fox News??

  • Anne

    NoQ -
    I have been disinvited to several election night parties that I used to attend. Told them I would be in a fetal position and they didn’t want me there anyway. I know No Quarter will be here. I have never been to a virtual party before, but I would rather attend one here than a real one with Democrats this election. What are the plans? Can I bring anything?

  • Annie

    I love love love the CHICKEN button. That says it all!

    Obama’s auntie living in poverty in Boston says she gave some money to Obama’s campaign… and she has lots to tell but won’t until after November 4.

    Appears there is an uncle in poverty in Boston also… how many of this man’s relatives are there all over the world – in poverty – living on not much of anything, maybe only on ‘hope’ and ‘change’ in their circumstances. He also has a half bro in London who didn’t get to see him when he was there posing at No 10 Downing Street all by his lonesome. That half bro doesn’t seem to have any money either as he sponges of a female friend and in her house.

    Cousins, half brothers, aunts and uncles – it is a diverse family… and of course the Grandma out of hospital in health and living in a small apt. in a not very nice part of Hawaii.
