New McCain ad called "perverse" by Obama camp

Post by **Cairber** » 2008-09-09 09:29pm

I am going to come right out and say this ad is meant to paint Obama as a pedophile. The words say he wants to teach sex to your kindergartners but the pictures that go with them make the message something much more disgusting. I dunno...it could just me be, but I really don't think so.

THIS is what this election has come to. I am so disgusted right now.

here's the text of the huffington post article on this:

John McCain is out with a response ad to Barack Obama's attacks today on his education policy, accusing the Democratic nominee of not accomplishing a single education-related goal other than to promote "comprehensive sex education" to kindergartners. Seriously, it's come to this.

The spot, titled "Education," comes after the two candidates went back and forth over education issues most of Tuesday. It is an attack the Obama campaign should be ready for. The same lines were used against the Senator during his run for office in 2004 by challenger Alan Keyes, and were brought up during the primary by Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney.

In essence, Obama supported "age appropriate" sex-education for children as a means of teaching them what was proper or inproper touching, as well as to protect them against pedophiles, his campaign has said. Used in the context of the McCain campaign ad, however, Obama's stance becomes another one of those cultural issues that seems designed to alienate the Illinois Democrat from more socially moderate voters.

And very quickly, the Obama campaign came out with a hard hitting response, pointing to a series of education accomplishments made by Obama, and calling McCain "perverse" for the latest attack.

"It is shameful and downright perverse for the McCain campaign to use a bill that was written to protect young children from sexual predators as a recycled and discredited political attack against a father of two young girls - a position that his friend Mitt Romney also holds. Last week, John McCain told Time magazine he couldn't define what honor was. Now we know why," said Obama campaign spokesman Bill Burton.

Here is the script of that ad that the McCain folks say will be airing in "key" states.

Education Week says Obama "hasn't made a significant mark on education".

That he's "elusive" on accountability.

A "staunch defender of the existing public school monopoly".

Obama's one accomplishment?

Legislation to teach "comprehensive sex education" to kindergartners.

Learning about sex before learning to read?

Barack Obama.

Wrong on education. Wrong for your family.

At this point I have to wonder if Gimpy McSame can actually sink any lower. Too bad we don't have sane anti libel laws in the US.

Obama campaign is, as always, straight up gangster.

What the fuck is "public school monopoly" supposed to mean? The last time I checked there was nothing stopping you from sending your kids to a private school if you wanted to, and there was a thriving private school system in the US. Public school happens to be rather popular because it's a free service provided by the government, how the fuck is that a "monopoly"?

The antilogic, it BURNS.

"Public school monopoly" means the kids get to be sent somewhere other than to privately-owned Fundie Christian madrassahs.

And no one notices because Gimpy McDouche's campaign is bitching about an Obama comment that could be construed as comparing Palin to a pig.

Now, I happen to think that's an apt comparison on a certain level, but still, that's what's in the news this morning and not this...

That's because the 'liberal media' is by and large (there are some issues where it's true) a myth, and McCain's spent decades honing his bullshit 'maverick' credentials with reporters.

IOW, they'll give McMavericky the benefit of the doubt every time while slamming Obama over every gaffe, no matter how innocuous.

Oh, I know. Believe me, I know. It still pisses me off to no end though.

McCain said the same thing about Hillary:

"I think they put some lipstick on a pig," he said to the Des Moines Rotary Club when asked if he could put a price tag on Hillarycare, "but it's still a pig."

The sad thing is that this ad, as disgusting as it is, will probably be quite effective in reaching its target audience and firing them up to vote McCain in November.

Elections aren't about making intelligent arguments; they're about who can mobilize the largest army of idiots.

I do believe they end the ad with what is quite possibly the creepiest photo of Obama I've ever seen. /shudder

If Obama was a werewolf, I'd totally be voting for him. I can't watch the Sex Ed commercial at work with sound, but that's really low. I'm gonna call a local headquarters or something, tell them I'm a republican who's not happy about that ad.

Maybe someone will notice.

I'm starting to suspect he picked her for the sole reason of playing the victim card at anything the Dems do.

Protip: if the ad convinces even one undecided 'tard to vote for McCain, and one or more McCain voters complain but don't change their votes, then the McCain campaign gets a net gain of 1, i.e. the ad worked.

In other words, good for you for complaining, but they have no reason to care.
