I made a pledge on Crooks and Liars some days ago (actually it was the day I gave Senator Obama's campaign $50.00) that I would donate to any 527s or any groups that puts up attack ads against McCain-Palin.
It was the same day the Obama stopped holding back our 527s and true to my word I gave some money to The Defenders of Wildlife Action Fund after reading oregon democrat's dairy "Defenders of Wildlife goes after Palin w/ shocking ad." (thanks oregon democrat)
Planned Parenthood Action Center has an ad out too and I encourage you to join me in donating to get this ad out there (video of ad below the fold)
The Panned Parenthood Action Center Blog Amy B. reiterates one of the themese of the ad:
He’ll Say Anything to Get Elected
John McCain is being reckless with the truth again.
In his latest TV ad, he falsely attacks Sen. Barack Obama for supporting a bill intended to help protect children from sexual predators.
This isn’t the first time Sen. McCain has made it clear that he’ll say anything to get elected. In ad after ad, he’s misled the public, been reckless with the truth, and twisted the facts to attack Sen. Obama.
The new ad attacks a bill that was supported by a coalition of public health and education organizations, including the Illinois Parent Teacher Association, the Illinois State Medical Society, the Illinois Public Health Association and the Illinois Education Association.
She then points to the language of the bill:
"Course material and instruction shall teach pupils to not make unwanted physical and verbal sexual advances and how to say no to unwanted sexual advances and shall include information about verbal, physical, and visual sexual harassment, including without limitation nonconsensual sexual advances, nonconsensual physical sexual contact, and rape by an acquaintance."
The ad combine with the blog pretty much destroys Republican strategist B, Brad Blakeman, argument and validates Ari Melber's contention.
And it's one more example of why we need to fully support our 527s, and we need an ever increasing amount of 527s. NOT to swiftboat McCain-Palin, because swiftboating was all about lies - but to correct the swiftboating McCain-Palin (Rove) are doing.
We need many, and we need them strong.
Join me in support of all!
