Fox affiliates running racist anti-Obama ads

‘Kill Some Crackers’: GOP Group Pays Fox Affiliates To Influence Election With Anti-Obama Propaganda

Several Fox television stations and one ABC affiliate in key battleground states are running a Republican front group’s anti-Obama propaganda as paid programming in the final days leading up to the election. The National Republican Trust PAC, run by conservative conspiracy theorist Scott Wheeler, has purchased airtime in Kentucky, Pennsylvania, Iowa, Wisconsin, and North Carolina to broadcast its 25-minute “Breaking Point” political attack ad, starting last Friday. Using clips from Townhall.com, World Net Daily, Fox Business, CNSNews.com, and Glenn Beck, narrator E. W. Jackson invokes the boogeymen of ACORN, Rev. Jeremiah Wright, the New Black Panther Party, Hamas, and Mao Tse-Tung to paint President Obama and the Democratic Party as “extreme,” “treacherous,” “socialist,” and “with hostility” towards America:

    “The mainstream media… should have demanded how exactly he intended to govern outside the bounds of the Constitution.”

    “The phrases ‘spread the wealth around’ may sound harmless to some. To others it was a clear invitation to adopt the destructive ideology of leftist revolutionaries. Among the public and the media, it should have ignited debate over Obama’s intentions, like: Whose wealth is to be spread around? Who would be the beneficiaries of the money Obama planned to confiscate? It wasn’t the only time that Obama displayed tendencies that some labeled socialist.”

    “President Obama’s words and actions seem clear: He does not view America with an America-centric perspective, but with an outsider’s point of view, often with hostility.

    “The goodwill Obama and other Democrats always shower on those hostile towards America never seems to extend to fellow countrymen here at home.”

    “During his presidential election, he wound up with a record-shattering $750 million in his campaign. To this day he refuses to report from whence it came. One reason might be that some of it originated from the terrorist group Hamas, which also endorsed Obama.”

    “Obama’s science czar, John Holdren, has publicly advocated that trees be allowed to sue us in court, that we should engage in drastic population control by implementing forced abortions and sterilization, and that we should design a global regime to redistribute wealth.”

    “During the 2008 campaign, President Obama pretended to turn his back on some extremists from his past. ‘You want freedom? You’re gonna have to kill some crackers! You gonna have to kill some of those babies!’”

    “Van Jones, self-avowed and unabashed Communist, was appointed to the position of green jobs czar. He held that position until his controversial views led to his resignation. Jones believed the September 11 attacks were staged by the U.S. government.”

    “By circumnavigating confirmation hearings, and instead appointing these people to powerful positions within our government, Obama and the Democrats are admitting their views are far too extreme for Americans to accept, so they do it by fiat.”

4. I can ...
the teabaggers/republicans will eat it up because they believe everything faux/beck/palin and their pastors tell them. Hell one of my cousins "friends" on facebook wrote that she read in President Obama's book that he admitted that he and Michelle burned the flag.

2. Swift boat redux, as well -
"It is unclear if National Republican Trust coordinates with the Republican Party or other conservative groups. Marc Morano, a Swift-Boat operative who has helped coordinate the Heritage Foundation, Republican lawmakers, and polluter lobbyists, is one of the registered agents for the National Republican Trust. The organization is registered to a UPS drop box on M Street in Washington DC."

3. When Fox tried to raise rates to Dish customers
Dish shut them off. I just got a notice that they have come to an agreement. I am writing a note to
Dish today to say "no, thanks". Fox Sports (no more Redwings :cry: ), FX, Fox business, Fox News, and even the local Fox channel are all deleted from my favorites. Suck it up DUers, remove all Fox stations from your lineup if you can.

7. desperate scum of the earth
Edited on Mon Nov-01-10 12:35 PM by Whisp
are fishing for the weak of mind and poor of thunk.

I've noticed today too (on CNN which I promised not to watch but sorry it's like that dead dog on the road thing, can't help it, my eyes just go there) that the talkers have ratcheted up the SPEED of speaking against the Obama administration. Got to get as much effort in as possible in the last few remaining hours so talk faster!

clowns. I piss on their folly

Right now Gloria Borger is talking like its all over and the Pugs won. but the pugs don't want to announce it too early afterall all that wouldn't appear humble of them.

:puke:

It worked so well for them in 2008, I am happy to see them sticking to these tactics.

13. Yeah, I got it.
"It worked so well for them in 2008, I am happy to see them sticking to these tactics"

I know it didn't work for them in 2008. That you're "happy to see them sticking to these tactics" isn't what I would consider "sweet."

16. No, I think
Edited on Mon Nov-01-10 10:03 PM by ProSense
it's vile, and see nothing "sweet" about them continuing to use these tactics.

How about you: still think the Dems deserve to lose and that President Obama is a failure?

20. "I believe Obama has failed and the dems deserve to lose their majorities"
Who could have guessed?

"However, I also enjoy very much when the GOP exposes themselves for what they are and I hope they continue with their race baiting tactics for years to come."

I hope the entire network get taken off the air.
