Conservative Group Targets Obama With Ayers, Wright Associations

01 Oct 2008 11:20 am

The Judicial Confirmation Network is spending more than $1 million on a television/text/advertising campaign in a bunch of small city DMAs. Ostensibly, the campaign's educating folks about Obama's associations, including his former pastor and William Ayers.

The ads will run on broadcast television in Ohio, Michigan and Pennsylvania -- the  Zanesville, Lima, Toledo, Youngstown, Wheeling-Steubenville, Marquette, Traverse City-Cadillac, Lansing, Kalamazoo-Battle Creek, Alpena and Erie markets, as well as on cable in Cleveland and nationally on Fox News.

Here's the text of the television ad as narrated by the JCN's Wendy Long:

Wendy: With the help of hundreds of thousands of Americans, the Judicial Confirmation Network fought for the nominations of Supreme Court Justices John Roberts and Sam Alito. The next President may nominate 4 new Justices. So we'd like you to see this....

VO: Choosing the right Justices is critical for America. We don't know who Barack Obama would choose, but we know this: He chose as one of his first financial backers a slumlord now convicted on 16 counts of corruption. Obama chose as an associate a man who helped to bomb the Pentagon and said he "didn't do enough." And Obama chose as his pastor a man who has blamed America for the 9/11 attacks. Obama chose to associate with these men, while voting against these men.

Wendy: Please join the Judicial Confirmation Network. We need a Supreme Court that respects the Constitution and Justices who won't legislate from the bench. Judicial Confirmation Network paid for this message and is responsible for it
