Fairfax, VA-Sen. Barack Obama's presidential campaign has sent threatening letters to news agencies in Pennsylvania and Ohio to stop airing ads exposing his anti-gun record sponsored by the National Rifle Association Political Victory Fund (NRA-PVF).

 

The kicker? NRA-PVF's Ohio’s ads have not yet begun running.

Pretty ridiculous.

I guess it depends on what the ads are going to say. Do we know?

Here's the ad.

 

 

Interesting... I was watching the news this was the headline UMW Plans Stoppage Over NRA Filming. http://www.wsaz.com/political/headlines/28693459.html

 

CHARLESTON, W.Va. (WSAZ) -- United Mine Workers of America President Cecil Roberts plans to hold a press conference in Charleston Monday to discuss what he describes as "attempts by a film crew hired by the National Rifle Association to get miners to distort the record of Barack Obama on guns and the 2nd amendment."

 

“Our members were approached on company property by this film crew and were peppered with questions regarding Sen. Obama’s positions on guns and the 2nd Amendment,” Cecil Roberts said in a press release issued Saturday. “We’re going to talk about that, because it marks a return of the gutter politics of the past by those of the say-anything, do-anything crowd who believe they can continue to use wedge issues to divide West Virginians. They think we’re not smart enough to figure out what they’re doing.”

 

Perhaps the Obama campaign is doing a pre-emptive measure.

Don't see anything in that ad that should be banned.

Well, I'm not sure if its completely true. From factcheck.org it would seem that he is fine with people owning shotguns (despite what the ad claims).

It is a lie and he is pre-empting the initial sailing of the first swift boat.

Wrong, he believes semi-auto shotguns should be banned.

Strong words, care to back them up? What are the lies?

I knew I should have copyrighted that phase. Would have made a fortune off of the left this election alone.

None of the ads are completely true from either candidate. Why should this one be treated any different?

It was true though, regardless of how much the Obama campaign wants to try to say otherwise.

From what I've read this one is not even close to being true.
