Wow, what a shit he turned out to be in person. Trashy, lowest common denominator attack ads against racial and social equality action in England? Classy.

>> ^NetRunner:
...because what they do now leaves us with about a third of our populace thinking that FDR caused the great depression, and that middle class tax cuts are "radical socialism".


And there's probably not a damn thing you or anybody could ever do to change their minds.

That kind of American is quite happily ensconsed in his ignorance.

The best we can do is keep pushing on and forget about them.

Huh, so this is unusual in Canada?

Here we have whole networks dedicated to nonstop attack ads to tide us through those non-election years.

I think they're called Fox News, and MSNBC.

And don't forget to checkout the ads for Patrick Kane and Jonathan Toews:

I thought they were going to stop the fear mongering and attack ads?
Looks like they were full of shit once again.

>> ^garmachi:
This just goes to show you can make a negative political attack ad against anyone!
Now... someone make one about a kitten!


You need convincing that kittens are evil?

This just goes to show you can make a negative political attack ad against anyone!

Now... someone make one about a kitten!

And this will be labeled an attack ad.

What the fuck Rougy - take the time to read my comment properly before you call me out...
My mistake. Forgive me.
I'm relieved - I didn't think you were that way, and when I read your post I was kind of taken aback.
I missed the "Quoted from link" part.
I totally agree, then.
The "Obama is a communist" shit is just over the top. It's fear-mongering, plain and simple.


More than that - calling someone who isn't a communist a communist is a lie, plain and simple. Btw, when is maccain going to release a TV ad about his policies and not another attack ad.

Oh, and if you disagree with Obama being a communist - according to some, that makes you a terrorist loving anti-american tree hugging pussy. Or something.

Appartantly, disagreeing is now Anti-American.

WTF would Captain America do?!

>> ^DavidRaine:
It looks like you missed Rachel's point (or perhaps you just disagree)...

>> ^Payback:
Oh no, I completely agree the "liberal" media is no where near the "conservative" media when it comes to the type and depth of "guilt" in this arguement. I'm just saying that the kettle, while being horrifically black in this case, doesn't give the pot a right to not be as white as possible.
Just take the two campaigns as example. McCain's campaign is far dirtier than Obama's. Although the Dems have been "dragged" down into the muck occasionally by McCain's omnipresent attack ads, Obama's campaign has been at it's most effective when it sticks to the issues and avoids character assassination attempts.


It sounds like we're largely on the same page here and I just needed an excuse to rant for three paragraphs in my previous comment. *smile* While I agree that Obama's best ads are those that stick to the issues and his plans, I also think these attacks and the false equivalencies have to be addressed lest they gain traction (as they have over the last few years). After all, Kerry tried the "nothing but respectful" card in 2004 and he was decimated by Republican attacks.
