Expose Obama: The “soft on crime” ad
- Posted by Beth on April 22nd, 2008 filed in 2008 election, Barack Obama, Candidates, Crime, Moonbats, Politics, Video 527s
Some people are calling this a “Willie Horton” ad, and I guess that’s fair–Floyd Brown is behind both ads. Allah thinks it’s “lame” and presumably unfair, but I’m with Ace. If facts are unfair, too bad.
Besides, this definitely has nothing to do with John McCain. Floyd Brown hasn’t exactly been cheerleading for him; in fact, he was quite loudly opposed to him quite recently, having put out an anti-McCain ad nationally just a couple months ago. (Sorry, no link–find it yourself.) Because of it, even while I was still a Fredhead, I vowed to never send money to any group of Brown’s again, as I had in years past. That’s not gonna keep me from showing this ad, though. I don’t like the messenger, but the ad is essentially correct.
Will this ad make a difference in the end? I doubt it. It’s early, and this kind of thing isn’t so shocking anyway, not with the stuff you see all the time on teh internets these days. I dare the libs to get pissy about it, considering the vile, untrue things they throw at McCain–and especially at Bush. Too bad for the Obamessiah if the truth hurts.
Chris says:
Oh, it will make a difference. There is a lot more to Obama’s “crime and punishment” views. Let’s just say this is only the tip of the iceberg. By the time all the “alternative punishment” views of Obama are exposed, we’ll point to this as the first salvo. Obama’s toast. If he is too radical to win the moderate white vote against Hillary freaking Clinton, just think about his chances against McCain. Bleak. Very bleak.
Beth says:
Maybe I’m just not that excited about it because 1) it’s Floyd Brown, who is dead to me since the McCain hit, and 2) the abominable misspelling (”dealth?” seriously?), and 3) the fact that teh crypto-Marxist Obamessiah is against the “dealth” (LOL) penalty ought to be no surprise to anyone. I want a REAL hit ad. ;-)

The above URL will show the facts concerning the allegations in the commercial. Now I haven’t decided who I’m voting for, and quite frankly would respect anyone who denounces any of these misleading ads. It’s unfortunate groups feel the need to try and cater to fear and ignorance. It seems to work, though. How does the government acquire more power?
Beth says:
Fair enough, Jon.
In the end, though, he IS softer on crime than I’d like. This is certainly a clumsy, stupid way of illustrating that fact, and as I said, I think it’s lame anyway because it’s not like he was a governor pardoning killers or whatever (as with the Huckabee or Dukakis “soft on crime” ads). I take everything from Floyd Brown with a
grainboulder of salt, anyway.But as I said, I’m not really interested in the Democrats crying about this, because they do far worse on a daily basis w/r/t misrepresenting the facts. I would hope you’d denounce their lies if you find this ad unfair and inappropriate.
Needless to say, it’s safe to assume that if John McCain hasn’t already denounced it, he will. This sort of ad is anathema to him.
