I have a question for the more savvy internet people here. Are they testing these adds on the net to see the reaction, before they put them in the mainstream?
A few that I've seen might backfire, but this one will likely be effective.

Dp,
From what I've heard, this ad is playing in Ohio and other places, but it sounds like Obama is thinking of suing networks that play it.

It really is a spectacularly vicious ad. The way it snuck a reference to 9/11 in at the beginning was clever indeed.

I grew up on US Navy bases and saw some interesting history there. Proud of ya
And Obama is going to end up unable to get a job anywhere by the time this is all over. Maybe his brother will have room for him in Kenya.

Beware of the Cabal!
Although the outcome of the election will be irrelevant to the satanic cabal that controls not only the financial markets and the media, but also the cultural (Hollywood) industry and the criminal underworld, Obama's victory may at the very best slow down their murderous rampage.
All these negative adds are designed to scare people into either not voting at all, or reluctantly voting for McManiac, a bloodthirsty Cabal stooge and certified psychopath.
You have been warned, ignorant folks, beware of the Cabal. I mean, do we want to end up in cages the way these people have caged the palestinians? Seriously, you innocent ignoramuses, it's time to stand up against these children of Satan.

Once again Joe hits all of the buzzwords:
cabal
satanic
criminal underworld
murderous rampage
McManiac
bloodthirsty
stooge
psychopath
children of Satan
Terence, are you surprised that this guy supports Ron Paul?

Sadly there is some truth in what Joe says. But if he really wants to reach people, he needs to be a little more rational about it.
Is there a "cartel" of politicians and the corporate elite? You Bet! "Our" political system was bought and paid for decades ago.
