Well guys, it's game time. I looked and didn't see anything about this but if there is I will be happy to delete. I will be quoting pretty heavily from Talking Points Memo, so bear with me, I will update when I can find some more info.

The National Republican Trust PAC, which has been airing an ad attacking Barack Obama's association with Reverend Wright in three battleground states, has now put down for a national buy on five networks that will last from now through election day, a consultant with the group confirms to me.
The ad will run nationally on Fox, CNN, ABC, CBS, and NBC for the next five days, the consultant, Rick Wilson, says -- "all the way until election day."
The ad, which you can watch here, features the now-infamous footage of Wright's livelier sermons, and intones that Obama "never complained" about Wright "until he ran for President," adding that Obama is "too radical, too risky."
Here's a link to the ad. Um I will troll around the internet for more info on this
Transcript:
For 20 years Barack Obama followed a preacher of hate and said nothing is Wright raged against our country.
[Clip of Rev. Wright:] "Not God Bless America, God Damn America . . . US of KKKA!"
[Quote of Obama appears on screen:] "I don’t think my church is particularly controversial."
He built his power base in Wright's church.
Wright was his mentor, adviser and close friend.
For 20 years Obama never complained until he ran for President.
Barack Obama. Too radical. Too risky.
So, it's not like anything we didn't expect. It's kind of funny, though, that they waited this late. I guess they didn't want it to get buried by the Obamamerical. I mean with the latest numb3rs and with republicans crashing and burning everywhere (go hagan!), I guess it's time for their last, fatal hurrah. I really don't see this going anywhere, if anything it only furthers the vitriol and radicalism of the McCain camp in the public's eye, which is exatly what they DON'T need right now. I know McCain didn't put it out, but he's sure as hell not going to condemn it, and if it gets into the news cycle I have a feeling the story will be "Well they finally hit bottom" rather than "IS OBAMA A DANGEROUS SECRET ANTI-WHITE ACTIVIST?" like it was in the primaries.
October surprise? not so much

UPDATE!
McCain refuted similar ads in the primaries
"I cannot dictate to the [North Carolina Republican] Party what their message is," said McCain. "But I can condemn it. I have no further options. I cannot impose my will on people who are the elected leaders of their own party."
