If you thought Mitt Romney couldn't stoop any lower than outright lying about President Obama's welfare to work requirements, you would be wrong.
Pro-Romney Super PAC Launches Anti-Gay Marriage Ad to Snag Southern Swing State Votes
The
message comes from a Romney super PAC with evangelical ties - be afraid, be very afraid, via this new version of a Harry and Louise ad.
GASTONIA, NC — A super PAC with ties to evangelist leader Gary Bauer is trying frighten would-be Obama supporters in at least one Southern swing state by raising the specter of the President’s support for gay marriage. The “Campaign for American Values” has launched a pro-Mitt Romney television campaign with an ad warning viewers that ”Obama trying to force gay marriage on this country.”
In the commercial, which is entitled “New Morning,” a couple wakes up to coffee and the threat of legalized same sex marriage as they peruse the morning paper.
“Obama is trying to force gay marriage on this country. That’s not the change I voted for. Marriage is between a man and a woman. That’s not the change I voted for,” one of them says,
“That’s not the change I voted for either,” the other agrees.
The ad closes with a narrator advising the couple to ward off this potential onslaught of married gay couples by voting “for someone with values” as the words “VOTE ROMNEY/RYAN” appear on the screen.
The ad was shown in North Carolina during the DNC convention. In an interview, Gary Bauer said he is just getting started and
has plans to air the commercial in other swing states.
CHARLOTTE, NC — Evangelist leader Gary Bauer told Politicker his pro-Romney super PAC, Campaign for American Values, won’t just be running one ad attacking President Barack Obama for supporting same sex marriage. Mr. Bauer says the “New Morning” ad is only running in North Carolina during the Democratic National Convention, but that commercial just the beginning of a larger campaign aimed at using the President’s position on gay marriage to drive votes to Mitt Romney in several crucial swing states.
“We plan on running that ad and others like it in a number of swing states,” said Mr. Bauer.
Mr. Bauer, who is the chairman of Campaign for American Values, kept coy when we asked what states will get the ads, which warn that “Obama is trying to force gay marriage on this country.” However, he said he was confident the commercials will hit a nerve in states where the election remains close.
Can you feel the hate?
The ad is embedded in the first link so you don't have to go to "The Campaign For American Values"' website.
h/t to noweasels, go to Youtube and add your dislike to the 28,000 already there. The ad is actually HILARIOUS. If you need a good laugh today and especially considering that The Onion has closed up shop, go and view it.
