"Controversial Figures" In Obama Orbit Featured In New NCRP Ad
The North Carolina Republican Party will unveil a 30-second ad tomorrow that attacks Democratic gubernatorial candidates Beverly Perdue and Richard Moore for endorsing Barack Obama. The ad, per the party, will reference "controversial figures from Barack Obama's past" and raise the question of the candidates' "judgment" in supporting him.
The ad will be unveiled at an 11am press conference. Spokespeople for the Democratic gubernatorial campaigns say that they have not yet seen it and declined to comment. The Rev. Jeremiah Wright is expected to play a starring role.
It's unclear how extensive the buy will be, because the buy itself has not been made yet. A spokesman says that the party is "still making the decisions" as to where and when the ad will run, but says that a week-long rotation is planned starting "sometime next week."
Of course, releasing it at a press conference tomorrow gives the party time to gauge reaction and pull the plug. But Brent Woodcox, the party's communications director, insists that "the buy is going to be made, because this is a legitimate question."
Invoking the "controversial figures" was the idea of the state party, he said, and the ad has been screened only by party members and fundraisers.
The ad was not made in coordination with Moore's or Perdue's Republican rivals. The frontrunner for the GOP nomination in the state is Charlotte mayor Pat McCrory, who has a reputation as a pro-business moderate.

So now we are attacking people for endorsing someone who knows someone who may have done something wrong ?
It is not guilt-by-association. It is guilt-by-seven-degrees-of-Kevin Bacon
You are going to be known by the company you keep.
Of course Dems are opposed to that concept. Dems hang out with NAMBLA, Communists, death row inmates, 60's radicals, and international hate groups galore. That's your party. Enjoy!
BTW: Wait till they find out more about who posted Rezko's bond.
Its about time. If the relationship between the possible next president and a terrorist wont worry this country—what will? Obama should be questioned about his relationship with Ayers. Its essential. Obama worked for terrorist William Ayers. He said he was 8 when Ayers bombed New York. Nice try. But he was 30something when he served on a board with Mr. Ayers in the 1990’s, the Woods Foundation, which was a paid, underlined PAID directorship position. They worked together, attended fundraisers together, Ayers held fundraisers and was a contributor to Obama’s Chicago’s campaign, plus they are neighbors and visited each other quite often. Enough said. This relationship deserves being vetted. As an adult Obama made the decision to work with a terrorist. This is a legitimate issue, the judgment and associations of the possible nominee. Its goes straight to the reason why democrats have lost the last two elections. It goes directly to his associations with Farrahkan, Wright, Ayers, Auchi and Refko. This needs to be fully vetted.

If people (not only candidates but even saints) are judged by the people they knew at various periods in their life, none of us will remain unscathed. Jesus would have been accused of consorting with a prostitute because he washed her feet in all innocense. Please let us all stop this infantile and illogical attitude regardless of who we are supporting.

We certainly should be concerned about the candidates associates.
Here's why.
The Clintons have taken $15 million (w/ ano 20 on account) from the Emir of Dubai. This while HRC sat in the US Senate. Dubai is a repressive antisemitic anti Israel oligarchy and no friend of the US. Nor does the Emir give away money out of the goodness of his heart. He owns the Clintons. Now HRC announces that she wants to include the United Arab Emirates under the same security umbrella as Israel and that she will "obliterate Iran" is it attacks her patrons. This is not influence peddling. It's treason.
This is nothing, just wait until the mainstream media and the Republican attack machine start hammering Obama on his strong and undeniable connections to cousin Odinga's Jihadist campaign in Kenya. Looks like a good year to be a Republican, too bad I'm a Democrat.

I am a registered Dem and before this election I would have ripped you apart for saying something like that, or I might simply have laughed it off. Now I'm starting to think that the party that I registered for is as bad the Republicans, just in different ways. That agenda the Republicans keep saying that the left wing has is starting to seem like a very real thing, after all. I only became a Dem because I remember the party under Bill Clinton, when the leftwings were kept a little more under control, but those days appear to be long gone.
To those of you not drinking the cool aid, and who want to see Hillary the nominee, there may be hope. First things first, Hillary is gonna need money to battle the coffers of his cult of personality. Go to www.hillaryclinton.com and give what you can, if only a one time contribution of five dollars, and encourage everyone that you know to do the same. Second, start emailing every major news service, especially ABC News and Fox News (Sean Hannity may be a good one to target) and demand maistream media scrutiny of Obama's disturbing ties to his cousin Odinga's Jihadist campaign in Kenya (google "Obama Odinga" if you haven't heard about this yet and see for yourself what comes up). If enough of us demand coverage it will get out there, and it will prove once and for all that Obama has poor judgment and is unelectable. Then we can fall back on Hillary Clinton, who is currently projected to win in an electoral battle with McCain (unlike Obama, who is currently projected against McCain with an unncertain outcome) and then our party can get things right again with this country. If McCain or Obama win, then we all lose.
I am amazed by all the right wingers who insist that Barack Obama is tied to terrorists but they don't acknowledge all the business dealings between George W. Bush and the Bin Laden family. The Bush ties to Bin Laden family are documented throughly and any one could find info on this. George Bush has never denied these business associations. Yet all this time since 9-11 OSAMA Bin Laden has not been brought to justice! We continue to fight a war in Iraq, gas prices continue to rise!!!! and Bush/Cheney continue to make more money from their oil company ties and insist that the US is not in a recession!!!
Look at the national debt - OVER $9 TRILLION!!! Do the research on the national debt, on George W. Bush's deficit spending and figure out what this president has done to our economy.
WAKE UP AMERICA!!!
This is just a preview of what is going to happen in Fall. There is much more dirt on Obama that will surface if he becomes the nominee.
Todd, you're absolutely right that Bush is tied to terrorists. So is Obama. They were also both cocaine addicts (more than coincidence, perhaps?) before running for President as complete unknowns who both ran on "anyone but the guys in Washington" campaigns of alleged "change". So let's not have either one with their fingers on the trigger.
Boy oh boy…is Obama’s judgment really into question here. WRIGHT IMITATING JOHN F. KENNEDY AS IF HE WERE BUGS BUNNY? ROGER RABBIT? How could Obama hailed Wright to such a high esteem? Wright is a nut case. IN THE PROGRAM THE VIEW OBAMA SAID HE WOULD HAD LEFT THE CHURCH HAD REVEREND WRIGHT NOT RETIRED. GUESS WHAT? WRIGHT IS NOT RETIRED. Why should he? HE HAS BEEN SPEARED INTO THE POLITICAL HEMISPHIRE AND HE IS RELISHING EVERY SINGLE BIT OF IT. THIS IS FOR CERTAIN, REV.WRIGHT WILL:
1- WRITE A BOOK.
2- CONTINUE TO GIVE NATIONAL SPEECHES.
3- HE WILL CHARGE FOR THOSE NATIONAL SPEECHES.
4- HE WILL APPEAR IN MORE COMMENTARY PROGRAMS.
5- DONT BE SURPRICE IF WRIGHT HIMSELF RUNS FOR SENATOR.
6- THERE WILL BE A WRIGHT IDIALOGY BASED ON HIS POLITICAL ANGLE.
7- OBAMA WILL NOT DISASSOCIATE, NOR RENOUNCED REV. WRIGHT.
AND WHY? Why CANT THE NEXT POSSIBLE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES DENOUNCE AND RENOUNCE HIS CRAZY, ANTI-AMERICAN PASTOR? EASY; WRIGHT KNOWS TOO MUCH
WHAT REALLY IS DISTURBING IS THAT OBAMA PUPLICLY PRAISED THIS EGOTISTICAL, RIGHTIOUS GUY AS HIS MENTOR. HE HAS WRITEN ABOUT HIM. WRIGHT IS HIS GODFATHER, FRIEND AND INSPIRATION. THE SITUATION NOW IS UTTERLY RIDICULOUS. OBAMA CANNOT BE THE NOMINEE.
