McCain Ad Falsely Suggests Obama Wants Kids To Learn "About Sex Before Learning To Read"



As you can see, the McCain ad says that Obama was the one who pushed the "comprehensive sex education" measure. The Obama campaign has pointed out that the bill would simply add instruction on disease prevention to already existing Illinois sex-ed standards. But the McCain campaign cheerfully turned this into Obama's support for "learning about sex before learning to read.

And "civil" and "honorable" McCain approved that message.

This new ad from the McCain camp is despicable and yet Obama will give a nuanced response in the press, send a few press releases, and so on. Damage done. The narrative becomes the damage. The press talks about it and plays right into McCain's hands. It all adds up as just more bad news and negative spin for Obama.

Why not kick some dirt in McCain's eyes for a change? He lies every single time he opens his mouth. Just show him and his quotes and have some carnival song and kids jeering, "liar, liar pants on fire." Is that so hard?


How about this as a response ad? I found this video on YouTube - and, granted it's a bit extreme, but come on, this is the kind of stuff they are throwing at Obama - LIE AFTER LIE AFTER LIE:
