Do these people realize how stupid all this makes the USA look to those overseas.

Actually, I live overseas, and my interaction with fellow Dutch shows that they too are shocked by the videos they’ve seen of Rev. Wright, wondering how someone can sit in a Church led by such a man.

And yes, most of them are Social Democrats, Obama’s friends.

What does being Episcopalian or Baptist have to do with anything?

Robert: No one who’s actually looked into McCain’s history would be surprised by this “revelation.” I’m not exactly bought on McCain’s baptist bonafides myself. His outlook toward life still screams Episcopalian to me.

Dorfy: McCain can’t stop this PAC from doing this any more than Obama can stop MoveOn from releasing some of their vile.

@Michael Merritt
Maybe McCain should tell his buddies to stop running this trash. Is this a sickness infecting the Republicans these days? Reagan would never have allowed or endorsed such foul tactics. McCain’s quick to repudiate things if the cameras are turned on – what about now if the cameras are off?

Do these people realize how stupid all this makes the USA look to those overseas.

This ad just reminds me of why I want to vote for Obama. It has the reverse impact you’d expect. Wasted money on a hateful ad.

As one who attends a UCC church, would ask other parishioners to contact this PAC and ask them to bring down this ad in the next 2 days, or we will expose McCain for what he truly is , i.e. an Episcopalian disguised as a Baptist!!!!

Given Senator Obama’s repudiation of Rev. Wright’s ill advised remarks, this last minute kicking of the beast is way over the top.

Tyler: Please read again. This is NOT the McCain campaign doing this.

I do have to agree somewhat with Claudia, though. People do want to hear about the economy, not old news preachers. McCain has been making some inroads since turning to the economy.

Sad, sad state of affairs for the McCain campaign – trading dignity and honor for the gutter. This is the end of conservative power in the United States. God Bless America.

It will likely lead to some clips going up of Palins witch hunter preacher laying hands on her to keep witchcraft away.

Maybe it would be even better if both sides consistently rejected stereotypes and mockery based on others’ religious beliefs.

But then again, that would involve actually being change/reform instead of just talking about it.

It’s a pac, not the mccain campaign. they will have money to make the economy message stick. So that’s not a very strong point.

Good news, that. Polling done during the whole Ayers thing showed that the whole association game didn’t work with people at all. Wright isn’t even some new story that will take people by surprise. It will likely lead to some clips going up of Palins witch hunter preacher laying hands on her to keep witchcraft away.

This could even eat up a whole news cycle with few days left, with people wanting to hear about the economy, not preachers. Wasted resources that could be better used calling Obama a socialist, communist, or some other ridiculous, but at least economy-related, name.
