Team McCain Releases Obama/ACORN Ad

by Stephan Tawney on October 10, 2008

At 90 seconds in length it’s still only a web ad, but it’s at least a good start. If Team McCain could find a way to narrow it down to about 30 seconds, it’d be perfect. Team McCain is clearly opening a new line of attack by showing just how connected Obama is to the present financial crisis and the voter fraud investigations.

Here’s the transcript if you can’t catch the video now:

ANNCR: Who is Barack Obama? A man with “a political baptism performed at warp speed.” Vast ambition.

After college, he moved to Chicago. Became a community organizer. There, Obama met Madeleine Talbot, part of the Chicago branch of ACORN. He was so impressive that he was asked to train the ACORN staff.

What did ACORN in Chicago engage in? Bullying banks. Intimidation tactics. Disruption of business. ACORN forced banks to issue risky home loans. The same types of loans that caused the financial crisis we’re in today.

No wonder Obama’s campaign is trying to distance him from the group, saying, “Barack Obama Never Organized with ACORN.” But Obama’s ties to ACORN run long and deep. He taught classes for ACORN. They even endorsed him for President.

But now ACORN is in trouble.

REPORTER: There are at least 11 investigations across the country involving thousands of potentially fraudulent ACORN forms.

ANNCR: Massive voter fraud. And the Obama campaign paid more than $800,000 to an ACORN front for get out the vote efforts.

Pressuring banks to issue risky loans. Nationwide voter fraud.

Barack Obama. Bad judgment. Blind ambition. Too risky for America.

If Team McCain wants to gain momentum, it’ll have to continue this.
