When the McCain campaign rolled out their petty “celebrity” attacks against Barack Obama, there’s one thing they didn’t consider — John McCain spent decades establishing himself as Washington’s biggest celebrity.
Once a media darling for his self-proclaimed “maverick” approach to politics, McCain has completely transformed himself to please special interests and the far right wing of his party. Now he’s the biggest and most vocal champion of George W. Bush’s disastrous policies.
We’ve created a new ad showing how he’s embraced the broken Washington system to stay in the limelight. And now we need members of the Obama Action Wire to step up and help make sure people see the ad pushing back on McCain’s low road attacks.
John McCain said he’s proud of his ads comparing Barack Obama to Britney Spears and Paris Hilton. He wants you to think you’re just caught up by a “celebrity” and don’t really want change in this country.
The McCain campaign has embraced the hollow, Karl Rove-style attacks we’ve seen Republicans use again and again when they can’t run on their record.
As soon as he became the presumptive Republican nominee, McCain reversed his calls for a dignified campaign and steered the “Straight Talk Express” straight for the low road.
Our campaign will stay focused on the serious issues and work to bring the change we need to Washington.
Watch the ad and make a donation to help get it on the air to respond to McCain’s negative campaign.
FOX’s objective in this presidential race has been painfully clear to us for a while. They have been carpet bombing Barack Obama with negative stories, distortions, and smears in the run up to tomorrow’s Pennsylvania primary in an attempt to skew the outcome. But how could FOX have guessed that the "liberal" media would be such willing accomplices?
We bring to you our latest episode of the gameshow sensation sweeping the nation: THE FOX IS WRONG: OBAMA!
While the FOXification of the mainstream media is a serious matter, we’ve used humor here to get our message across more effectively. Play along as FOX guests and personalities distort and misrepresent the statements of Obama and those around him, only to have that pesky "liberal" media pick up the smears and keep on running! For the finale, watch in wonder and amazement as ABC’s George Stephanopoulos allows Sean Hannity to spoon-feed him a question on Hannity’s radio show, then parrots it almost word-for-word a day later during ABC’s infamous Democratic debate in Pennsylvania!
If you haven’t yet, sign the petition and demand that the media stop spreading the FOX virus. Then send the petition and the video far and wide to all your friends and colleagues. We need to get our message across faster than the media can spread FOX’s lies.
For an added bonus, check out our last video to see what nine minutes of FOX on Obama looks like (don’t worry, the video is just 54 seconds). There you can get a small taste of FOX’s strategy to saturate their viewers with as many negative Obama stories as a cable line can carry - FOX spews more Obama smears in nine minutes than most networks deliver all day! And remember, this is just a summary of NINE MINUTES on FOX - there are 1,440 minutes every day…
