Because they Don't Want You To See

UPDATE: The embedded YouTube file was doing strange things to the formatting of the post when viewed in Safari. I was going to take the time to troubleshoot the issue then I realized that the ad was likely to disapear from YouTube. So instead I downloaded the YouTube and converted it to Quicktime in three different sizes. The remainder of the post is untouched (except for fixing a couple of typo's).

The Obama campaign is doing everything it can to keep this ad from being seen - from pressuring broadcasters to trying to get the Department of Justice involved.

If showing it here means that half a dozen more people get to see it - I'll take it.

From the ad's creator American issues project - here is a large (5mb) pdf of the research documenting the content of the ad.

i don't know anything about aip and i'm not offering this as an endorsement of the organization. i am posting this in answer to a politician's assault on the first amendment. i would and have done the same with regard to mccain's assaults on free speech as well.

Michelle Malkin has a good post detailing the efforts of the obama campaign to stifle this speech.

John Hinderaker at Powerline offers a fairly succinct evaluation:

Of course, Obama's spokesmen didn't explain what about the ad is false, let alone despicable or outrageous. Every word in the ad is true. I suspect that "despicable" and "outrageous" are synonymous with "effective."

Let's hope that Obama doesn't succeed in suppressing this effort to bring the Ayers issue to the attention of voters.

My thoughts exactly; those three people who visit my site might enjoy it too.
