Video: North Carolina GOP Attack Ad Against Obama

April 23, 2008 · Filed Under Barack Obama, Politics, Video

Take a look at this brand new ad from the North Carolina GOP. It’s an attack ad against Barack Obama and its drawn howls of protest from both sides of the aisle. John McCain even fired off a letter asking for the ad to be taken down.

I don’t really see what the big deal is. Barack Obama is old enough (I think) to withstand a little criticism every now and again. The ad is definitely tacky and distasteful for sure, but then so is Obama’s pastor.

Are we really supposed to believe that if a Republican candidate had been a member of a white supremacist church for the last 20 years, no democrats would make ads about it? Yeah right, that’s a good one.

The bottom line is that Obama decided 20 years ago that he wanted a racist black militant for a pastor so now he should just let the chips fall where they may.
