Let Freedom Ring race vs. Obama on race
Ben Smith's Blog — An ad from the group Let Freedom Ring, which seems to be the best-funded of the conservative independent groups, goes right at the subject of race with a black character citing Martin Luther King to explain his vote against Obama.

Race-Tinged Attack Ads Start Flowing From Right In Campaign's Home Stretch
TPM Election Central — The outside groups on the right are starting to hit the race panic button as time runs out and things look increasingly dire. The National Republican Trust PAC, for instance, just reported to the FEC that it sank nearly $900,000 into a new ad buy, most likely for this spot hitting Obama with a bunch of footage of Jeremiah Wright's rants: The group had previously vowed to spend some $2.5 million on the spot, so this current buy falls short, but nonetheless amounts to real ad cash. (There's still more time, obviously, for the group to do a ...

Contest
Talking Points Memo — I don't feel quite right about saying I like this new pro-McCain ad from Let Freedom Ring, a Republican independent group. But for sheer bad faith, clumsy racial politics desperation and transparent moral poverty it may be one of my favorites. So here's the contest. Watch the ad. And then send us in a short translation of what the ad is really saying. We'll publish the best entries ... ...

John McCain: Dishonest, Dishonorable, Ignorant, and Incompetent (Two Worst Adds Ever Edition)
J. Bradford DeLong's Grasping Reality with All Eight Tentacles — Aimai is a much braver woman with a much stronger stomach than I am. Aimai: If I Ran the Zoo: Neck and Neck: This has to be neck and neck for the worst two commercials of McCain's campaign. This one isn't definitively anti-Obama at all, since the "Senator" to whom the protagonist speaks isn't named and the act of which he speaks isn't exactly clear. And as for this one? I dare you to watch it without falling into an epileptic fit, rolling around on the floor with your head and your heels touching like a hoop, and having the ...

Using King Against Obama
The Daily Dish | By Andrew Sullivan — A new independent ad: One of Greg Sargent's readers analyzes: Seems to me like the target audience...is white Democrats who want to be reassured that they are not racists if they don't vote for Obama. (See, even that black person doesn't like him, and he can't articulate why, either!) ...

'Not This Time' - New Ad
Politics Daily — Filed under: Republicans, Ads, 2008 PresidentLet Freedom Ring, a 527 political action committee (PAC) is airing a new :30 second campaign ad titled "Not This Time." This is smart messaging. Aimed directly at the reverse-Bradley effect. The Bradley effect is the much ballyhooed loss of Tom Bradley, who is an African-American, despite surveys showing him ahead. Conventional wisdom holds it wasn't faulty polling that accounts for Bradley's loss, but white voters unwilling to elect an African American. ...
