That one's going to leave a mark.

Tiny. Heh.

Yes gets the Jewish vote and makes clear Obama wants to keep people ignorant and focused on trivialities.

I just asked on the previous thread, is it me or has McCain put together the best collection of attack ads in televsion history? Granted, Barry had to do his part by giving him so much ammunition....

Can't wait for the next McCain ad. Should be out, like, what - immediately after Barry's speech?

Ouch! Leave Barack Obama alone!

How tall is Ahmanutjob anyway?

Oh, very good!

re: #6 Cap'n DOC

How tall is Ahmanutjob anyway?

I think he makes Kucinich look big.

This is the stuff nobody thought McCain would do. And he's doing it even before the official nomination. Putting Obama's face up there with the word "Tiny" isn't exactly a stroke of genius, it's an obvious choice, but nobody thought McCain would do it.

re: #4 harrylook

A few hours, anyway. There's likely to be so much ammunition, one has to pick and choose.

Wonder what voter he's going after on that one? Very effective.

They left out the embassy crisis, but perhaps it's for the better- the obama camp can't complain they're using the former hostages that way.

I'm rightwinger3 and I approve of this message!

Aren't they still complaining about the last one?

"Tiny."

Everybody knows that this is a thinly veiled attack on Obama's manhood. Just another disgusting attack by the racists conservatives. /

re: #6 Cap'n DOC

How tall is Ahmanutjob anyway?

He was running around with Smeagol the last time I saw him.

Dangerously unprepared to be President.
ouch

How is Barry going to accuse McCain of "playing the race card" on that one?

Dang. I'll have to watch it later.

Does 'tiny' refer to Obama's preparedness for office or to his notion of Iran being a 'tiny' threat?

Tiny Iran
Seeking nukes
Obama thinks they
Don't deserve rebuke

Tiny Iran
Not a threat
Is this candidate
On whom you want to bet?

From an email just sent to me:

Suddenly a keen sense of morality ...

John Edwards has been banned from making a speech at the democratic convention for having an affair and lying about it.

Instead Bill Clinton will be speaking in his place.

The McCain folks are hitting them out of the park with these commercials.

Both.

I'm so glad the McCain campaign has stepped up to the plate. We are all doubting whether he would do so not too many weeks back.

re: #18 sngnsgt

How is Barry going to accuse McCain of "playing the race card" on that one?

"Tiny" mocks his white half?

Oh, the response ad will complain that McCain is going negative, attacking Obamassiah. They have such thin freaking skin. Since the media won't investigate him or tell people he has ZERO experience, McCain has to...

re: #2 Cap'n DOC

Tiny. Heh.

yeah its only what 3 times the size of Iraq?

I don't know who started doing McCain's ads after the shakeup a while back, but he/she is doing one heck of a job. And has Obama spitting mad. Keep it up folks.

re: #16 Eowyn2

And both are seeking out Precious.

Smack!

(And the word "Tiny" gets applied to the Obamamessiah too -- that's a neat bit of subliminal advertising.)

Iran is the 18th largest nation in landmass, and has 70,000,000. How is that tiny?

Apparently, the Chosen One will be talking about his "tax-cuts for the middle class" in his speech. Dear God, I hope McCain's camo has a nice informative commercial and response that flat out says he is lying...

I'm loving these 30 second zingers. Hit 'em hard, hit 'em fast. People won't wait for a 5 minute video to load, so these are escellent to share with your friends.

ShortShit is the only tiny thing about Iran.

ZOMBIE ALERT!

Zombie, look to the skies and please get some shots of the plane towing the Osama bin Laden banner...from what I could see, there is a picture of bin Laden with the top line of text reading "Osama says" but I can't make out the bottom line since it's backward from my vantage point, and it's flapping too much for me to make out. I assume it says something about voting for Barry Zero, but I'm not sure...

Maybe this is a new McCain strategy...keep Obama so busy refuting these attack ads that he doesn't have time to make any attack ads of his own against McCain. Either way glad to see the gloves are really off now.

re: #33 MandyManners

I thought that was the point.

Iran is the eighteenth largest country in the world both in population and area. Considering that there are 195 countries in the world, that puts Iran in the top 10% in both categories. Not among the very largest, but hardly tiny.

osama? a plane? wtf?

How many of these ads will get placement in general rotation before the election. Sending them to the Net is one thing, preaching to the converted is one thing - pushing this into mass markets is another.

It does, however, provide McCain's people with an opportunity to gauge reaction and see which ones do best - and use those in wide mass market tv buys.

re: #41 Dream

They ARE NOT attack ads. They are informative.

I figured out why Obama is going to speak in front of that faux temple.
He's going to mimic Samson and symbolically pull down the pillars of the Bush/McCain Temple of Doom.

Folks, it nothing to worry about. Obama will speak, Achmenijad will listen and comply just like Putin did when Obama spoke to him.

Relax our security couldn't be in better hands.

Obama speaks,
so it will be done!

No more nasty military to get into ugly wars, no more trade disputes, it's all peace and justice every where on Obama's Word!

/// just to make sure.

While I totally agree with the danger Iran poses, I think this is counter productive.A lot of fence sitters fear that McCain is going to do a premptive attack on Iran and this will only serve to convince them.If it's aimed at the Jewish vote, a waste.

I think this ad is worth about 50 electoral votes all by itself.

Anyone know if the MSM outlets are not letting McCain run his ads?

re: #37 NoSubmission

Not to mention Iranian Special Group commandos in Iraq supplying advanced IEDs to al Qaeda.

Obama's lawyers will be trying to prevent this one too from being broadcast.

/they won't, but we can always have the audacity to hope they will

I like the ad and am more comfortable with McCain then I was a few months ago. But he is still a pretty weak candidate. The entire Republican field was weak. This should be a cake walk for the Dems.

If the Democrats cannot nominate someone who can be elected president in this environment - low Bush poll numbers, war weariness, the MSM in the tank for the Dem, the economy - the Democratic party as we know it is finished.

Clinton was the only two term elected Democrat since FDR.
Clinton had Perot's help when he sucked up 18 million (1992) and 8 million (1996) votes.

This is and was the Democrat's election to loose. Obama just might be the man to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.

BIG TINY IS RIPPING US OFF!

re: #41 Dream

Attack "ads or facts"?

re: #50 cblesz

In this day and age, informative ads are attack ads. And vice versa.

Anything that casts the other guy in a bad light, no matter how accurate, truthful, verifiable, and libel/slander proof, is going to assumed an attack ad because of tone.

Awesome ad ... it works for me ... should be effective!

All of the groups that hate America love Obama and want him to be the next POTUS. What does that say?

From "up here" I would much prefer Mr. McCain sitting across the table from Putin. Obama is manifestly not in the same league as Putin and McCain. With Russia feeling safe enough to raise its very ugly head, please sit McCain at the table.

I hope the Republicans keep these hard hitting informative ads coming.

Are there really people out there waiting for ads to make up their minds for them?

re: #64 NoSubmission

Who can say, but if they drive the Obama batty, it's all good.

re: #55 NoSubmission

The Ayers ad ran here in Texas

FYI, here's the quote the words in the ad were taken from.

Obama explained, “Strong countries and strong Presidents talk to their adversaries. That’s what Kennedy did with Khrushchev. That’s what Reagan did with Gorbachev. That’s what Nixon did with Mao. I mean, think about it: Iran, Cuba, Venezuela — these countries are tiny compared to the Soviet Union. They don’t pose a serious threat to us the way the Soviet Union posed a threat to us. And yet we were willing to talk to the Soviet Union at the time when they were saying, ‘We’re going to wipe you off the planet.’ And ultimately, that direct engagement led to a series of measures that helped prevent nuclear war and over time allowed the kind of opening that brought down the Berlin Wall.”

re: #18 sngnsgt

Unfortunately, that's an easy one.

"McCain is playing on America's fears of brown people."

re: #37 NoSubmission

Did he mention Iran-sponsored Hezbollah murdering our Marines in Beirut?

Nope. And that is just fine. The kiddies who support Obama probably don't remember it in the first place and consider it ancient history if they do.

Someone needs to tell Senator Obama that Iran is not only not tiny, its actually quote a large country with over 65 million people.

That makes Iran bigger population-wise than France, Italy, or England (each of which have about 60 million), or South Korea (about 50 million).

obama came out the other day with an Iran policy:

Obama would step up pressure on Iran over nukes

"My job as president would be to try to make sure we are tightening the screws diplomatically on Iran, that we mobilize the world community to go after Iran's nuclear program in a serious way. ... We have to do it before Israel feels its back is against the wall."

Because no one's ever thought of doing that before!

By putting out these ads, day after day, on different topics, the McCain campaign has gotten well inside Obama's OODA Loop. It takes one to two days for Obama's campaign to respond, by which time the next ad is out, coming at him from yet another angle. This is how McCain has taken the initiative away from Obama even during the Democratic coronation convention.

The fighter pilot is beating the community organizer.

The McCain campaign has been tremendous about hitting on Obama this week, I certainly hope that they are not distracted by the GOP convention and respond as effectively next week and are able to continue to do that until November.

OT
sorry, the thing about the "O" speech has tfk pissed, and thinking.

William Ayers, the Weather Underground, the SDS, the 60's / 70's anti war loon crazies.

Many had contact with the commie KGB who were using them to win in S. Vietnam via the Democrats ect it being we had them beat down in Laos, Cambodia, N and S Vietnam.

The contacts then most likely have been kept up somehow, Ayers did make a talk at their evil little reunion in like 2005 2006 or so, he made a talk to them. TFK bets they still have active contact with commies from Russia, for sure Clinton made it easy as he pardoned one of them who was out to kill Army guys with nail bombs ect, so the FBI and CIA most likely were called off surveillance of these hate America terrorist.

develop that

Are you sure those polls were taken after the convention started? Even if they were, Monday was a poor performance by the Dems.

Before we measure the bounce - or lack thereof - we need to take a poll 24 or 48 hours after BO's speech. You need at least 24 hours to let the MSM polish it up and repackage it. Then 24 hours to collect the data.

I don't think we will have a good read on the bounce until the Sunday morning shows.

Honestly, I don't think the "bounce" is all that relevant anyway.

The most important poll is the election itself. The rest are mostly smoke, shifting here and there with varying margins of error.

At this point in the last two cycles, both Kerry and Gore were ahead of Bush.

Looks like Barry's bump was a pothole.

If he thinks an evil but sane country like the Soviet Union is a greater threat than an insane regime unmoved by concepts like Mutally Assured Destruction, then Obama is a bigger idiot with less understanding of the world than I thought.

And what happened in Reykjavik? The short answer is nothing was agreed to. And knowing that is vital to understanding it.

It is simply wrong of McCain to refer to Obama's thinking of Iranian nuclear capability as threat to Israel.

Doesn't he know that the Obama people don't look upon this as a threat but as an opportunity to rid the Mid-East of that Western Colonial State?
