Boo Hoo for Barack!

As is well known, Barack Obama attended a church for about 20 years where the pastor routinely said things like "God Damn America" and claimed that the US government invented AIDS to commit genocide on blacks.

Now the North Carolina GOP are running an ad with film clips of the race-baiting Reverend Wright in order to criticize two Democrats who have endorsed Obama. This is a perfectly valid political tactic. We can often judge people by the company they keep.

Predictably, the leftwing media are crying foul. The New York Times calls it a "Shameful, Ugly Ad". Bonnie Erbe at USA Today says "GOP Dirty Tricks Dupe Media". Bonnie goes on to compare the ad with the 'Willie Horton' ads used against Michael Dukakis in the 1988 presidential race, ignoring the fact that it was Al Gore who first raised the issue, during the Democrat nomination battle that year.

CBS News says "Amid Negative Ads, McCain Claims High Road", McCain is free to run his campaign however he wants, but he should know that if he had attended a church run by a pastor who made anti-American statements from the pulpit, the Democrats and their lackeys in the leftwing media would be all over him.

Tough luck, Barack. You chose to attend Wright's church for 20 years and you knew damn well that he was spewing lies and hate. You showed a lack of judgement and the voters will take this into account.
