I'm not going to look at that Ayers ad. I'm not going to be distracted from McCain's Many Homes.
And I suggest you don't either.

This is the kind of ad that only is succesful if folks go look at it, and it starts to go viral. The McCain camp is not going to be putting this ad on television and paying to have it run.

Let's not give them any help.

Thank you,


FrenchieCat

1. Not just his many homes. It's his many homes that he's lost count of.

Cause I don't really like them anyways.

17. The audio link I have posted isn't linked to Politico but to YouTube.
Edited on Thu Aug-21-08 04:28 PM by eshfemme
It's posted by the Talking Points Memo. There's just the audio, no analysis except for the always amusing YouTube comments.

I also dislike Politico because of my suspicion of its bias. So, you can safely click on the link.

13. That's what I am saying.
If we get into a pissing match about Ayers, that is of no relevance, McCain's gaffe will disappear.

We are not to be led by the nose.

Someone should tell that to McCain!

7. So....I'm not going to help them either.
You see, the point with these attack ads, is to have McCain's media discuss them over the air all of the time.

Why would I want to help in that way? I don't want McCain as the President.

9. There should be no such threads here at DU.....
after all we support the Dem Nominee. We aren't here to publicize McCain's lies against our nominee for him.

10. Ooops - I did see it and, to me, its sheer desperation. Biggest smear ad since
the famous LBJ "daisy" ad. Its shocking.

11. I'm not either. McCain is just another over-privileged idiot, just
like Bush. And to top it all off, he had to marry his money. Nothing but a high paid gigolo.

12. My dear FrenchieCat...
Is this a DU ad?

I ask, because I've turned off the ads, and you can too...

Just go to options and click on Edit Your Preferences...

At the bottom of the list is the one that turns off the ads...

Click, and these ads vanish!

:hi:

14. It's some kind of 527 McCain group ad.......
that he has slapped over at Politico in hopes that we are our worst enemy and will look at the ad in great numbers.

While they ignore the Cross in the Sand, and everything else that we talk about and ads that the Left put out....somehow Ayers is supposed to be making a comeback as Obama's terrorist link to the world.

Fuck that. I ain't about to be played.

16. k & r
I agree 100% -- don't give them the numbers. you CAN go to digg and bury it so it gets knocked down:-)

And if you know anyone in the areas it's playing, make sure you send a link for the mccain not knowing how many houses he has!!! I know a lot of people in Mich -- and I'm on it.

Of course, I send them tons of stuff and ask them to take it to work, etc. I'm sure they dread my emails by now.

18. Plus, THis was asked of Obama at the fucked up ABC debate.....
enough of the dumbshit.

Now back to our regularily scheduled discussions of McCain's 7 to 10 homes plus 1 million dollar parking lot. :)
