I just saw this on Ben Smith's Politico Blog.
For all those who said that Barack Needs to Hit Back at McCain for the "Sex-Ed Ad" Well looks like Planned Parenthood has Obama's back.
A couple of days ago, the McCain campaign released an ad basically insuinutaing that Obama wanted to teach Sex-Ed to Children "before they learned to read". Of course we all were really pissed and disgusted by the blantantly, untrustful, and just damn gross dishonesty displayed by the McCain campaign.
Many of us here was saying that Obama needed to respond HARD and FAST. I agreed that the campaign should respond swiftly, but I wasn't sure if it was a good idea for Obama himself to oversee the attack. I thought that it would just be bad for Obama to get in the gutter with the McCain campaign. I always figured that it would be better if some outside entity hit McCain over this issue. Well it seems like Planned Parenthood has steppped up to the plate.
Check out their new ad.
UPDATE: Links to youtube and Ben Smith post

Per Ben Smith:
Planned Parenthood Action Fund has a tough new ad responding to McCain's attack on Obama's support for some sex-ed for kindergartners. The ad defends Obama, and suggests McCain is indifferent to the plight of sexually abused children
Ben did not specify where this ad would be shown, but a reader noticed the ad in Planned Parenthood's YouTube account
I read somewhere that the Obama campaign has signalled to Liberal 527s and the like that they would not be adverse to them taking on issues against McCain, and that the campaign itself was preparing to get tougher in their strategy against McCain.
I guessing and sorta hoping that the attack has begun.
Update: Okay here's a link that works. Thnx: Fundamental Transformation
