Challenge Clinton to match McCain on PUMA ads
Tue Jul 01, 2008 at 06:26:55 PM PDT
Today John McCain's campaign decided that it could not advertise on some of the PUMA like web sites-- the ones that promote Hillary Clinton and which are maliciously anti-Obama.
John McCain's campaign will stop advertising on several pro-Hillary Clinton Web sites that have attacked Barack Obama for being unpatriotic and, in one case, compared the Democratic nominee-in-waiting to Adolf Hitler.
This is really nasty stuff.
McCain's ads have also shown up on a pro-Clinton Web site named "Obama WTF" that accuses Obama of being "spineless," having "communist influences," "courting Jew haters" and being "in the pocket of America haters."
SavagePolitics.com, another anti-Obama site that has been targeted with McCain ads, has called Obama a "bold faced liar, a thief, a sexist and a racist."
McCain's campaign has realized that it hurts them to associate with this slime.
A spokesman for McCain said Monday the campaign was not aware their ads were running on the offending Web sites, and has taken steps to block those sites from their online advertising network.
"When we find stuff like this, we take care of it," said McCain spokesman Brian Rogers.
McCain off PUMA sites
However, Hillary Clinton still has ads on at least one anti-Obama, pro-PUMA site.
One of the very worst of these is NoQuarter, which regularly claims Obama is a Muslim Manchurian candidate, refers to Obama as a "mongrel," claims he wasn't born in the US, and made the claim that Michelle ranted about "whitey."
And Clinton has ads on NoQuarter. These are ads to contribute to retire her debt.
Should we call upon Clinton to remove ads from this racist site and other sites they may be on?
I'm going to -- and here's the contact information for the Clinton campaign.
