As if this race hasn’t gotten scummy enough, a new ad courtesy of the scum merchants from the National Republican Trust.
It sucks even showing the ad, but anybody with a quarter of a brain knows what these clowns are doing.
But Matt Drudge is showing these ads on the Drudge Report. Shouldn’t all of the beltway insiders that have his page set as their homepage on the their Internet browsers know that Drudge is making his money off of these ridiculous scum merchants?
We know Drudge drives an anti-Obama narrative, but this is beyond the pale.
But I almost feel like the joke is on me: perhaps Drudge wants people to get worked up about it, talk about it, bring it out, because then the ad gets publicity. This ad won’t likely change any minds of people that already support McCain: they are not going to all of the sudden abandon him because they are appalled by some dirty ad.
It may not play well in the media, that is for sure, but they have pretty much repudiated all of these attacks anyway.
The hope is that this ad will get attention, will receive the due consternation, and plant a kernel of doubt in at least a few people’s minds that somehow Obama is dangerous for the country.
The ad itself is ridiculous and is part of a complex issue for states and cities with high populations of illegal immigrants: we are obviously not going to deport them all tomorrow, so isn’t it best to at least get them partially under the purview of the law when it comes to driving?
