First we expose the Texas Republicans for launching a nasty ad that focused on Senator Obama's half-brother and the fact that he's living in the slums of Kenya on less than $1 month; now it seems the NC Republican Party is trying to one-up their Texas brethren with this nonsense.

Newsflash, NCGOP, Reverend Wright is not running for president, nor is Obama's half-brother. America deserves better.

US television stations have refused to run a controversial Republican ad attacking Democratic candidate Barack Obama and those who support him.

Hear, hear.

“We asked them not to run it. I’m sending them an e-mail as we speak, asking them to take it down,” the Arizona senator told reporters aboard his campaign bus as he traveled to a town-hall-style meeting in Inez, where President Johnson launched his 1964 campaign on poverty."“I don’t know why they do it, and obviously I don’t control them. But I’m making it very clear, as I have a couple of times in the past, that there’s no place for that kind of campaigning – and the American people don’t want it, period,” McCain said.

Here's a portion of the Rev. Wright speech to which they are referring:

“The government gives them [African Americans] the drugs, builds bigger prisons, passes a three strike law and then wants us to sing God Bless America. Naw, naw, naw. Not God Bless America. God Damn America! That’s in the Bible. For killing innocent people. God Damn America for treating us citizens as less than human. God Damn America as long as she tries to act like she is God and she is Supreme."

“The government lied about Pearl Harbor. They knew the Japanese were going to attack. Governments lie. The government lied about the Gulf of Tonkin. They wanted that resolution to get us in the Vietnam War. Governments lie. The government lied about Nelson Mandela and our CIA helped put him in prison and keep him there for 27 years. The South African government lied on Nelson Mandela. Governments lie."

“The government lied about the Tuskegee experiment. They purposely infected African American men with syphilis. Governments lie. The government lied about bombing Cambodia and Richard Nixon stood in front of the camera, ‘Let me make myself perfectly clear…” Governments lie. The government lied about the drugs for arms Contra scheme orchestrated by Oliver North, and then the government pardoned all the perpetrators so they could get better jobs in the government. Governments lie.

“The government lied about inventing the HIV virus as a means of people of color. Governments lie. The government lied about a connection between Al Qaeda and Saddam Hussein and a connection between 9.11.01 and Operation Iraqi Freedom. Governments lie.

[update] Each time we updated the video on YouTube, it's pulled down...all are being pulled down. Perhaps they are listening to John McCain.

If anyone has a link to the video, please share with the StopTheAttacks community.
