I've Said It Before...

...and I'll say it again, Obama and his entire campaign are a bunch of scum bags: Obama's New Spanish Language TV Ad Es Erróneo

Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., has launched a new Spanish-language TV ad that seeks to paint Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., as anti-immigrant, even tying the Republican to his longtime conservative talk-radio nemesis Rush Limbaugh.

As first reported by the Washington Post, Obama's ad features a narrator saying: "They want us to forget the insults we’ve put up with…the intolerance…they made us feel marginalized in this country we love so much."

The screen then shows these two quotes from Limbaugh:

“…stupid and unskilled Mexicans”
—Rush Limbaugh

"You shut your mouth or you get out!”
—Rush Limbaugh

The narrator then says, “John McCain and his Republican friends have two faces. One that says lies just to get our vote…and another, even worse, that continues the policies of George Bush that put special interests ahead of working families. John McCain…more of the same old Republican tricks.”

There are some real factual problems with this ad, which is titled “Dos Caras,” or two faces.

First of all, tying Sen. McCain – especially on the issue of immigration reform – to Limbaugh is unfair.

Limbaugh opposed McCain on that issue. Vociferously. And in a larger sense, it’s unfair to link McCain to Limbaugh on a host of issues since Limbaugh, as any even occasional listener of his knows, doesn’t particularly care for McCain.

Second, the quotes of Limbaugh’s are out of context.
[emphasis added]

Yep. You read that right. The ad is so dishonest that ABC News' Jake Tapper felt the need to defend Rush Limbaugh.

Obviously, Obama must believe Spanish speaking Americans are so stupid they will believe anything.

Couple this with the hacking of the Palin family email accounts and you are witnessing a campaign with no sense of ordinary common human decency.

(Do I know for a fact the Obama camp was involved in the hackery? No. But show me where the Obama campaign has drawn any hard and fast line between the acceptable and unacceptable before? Any group of people that could maintain that Geraldine Ferraro was a racist is capable of just about anything.)

UPDATE:

Just a couple of links: Sister Toldjah, and Powerline are worth reading on this.
