New McCain TV Ad Blames Obama for High Gas Prices

Posted on 21. Jul, 2008 by Timothy B. Hurst in environment, politics

The latest John McCain ad is so full of flagrant logical gaps and bad rhetoric it makes me cringe. And since I figured you’d want to cringe too, I’ve included it for your perusal.

Perhaps the most cringeworthy portion of the advertisement is when the commercial’s narrator asks, “Who can you thank for rising prices at the pump?”, while a picture of Barack Obama flashes on the screen and the familiar “Obama-Obama-Obama” chants fill the background audio. Running a close second in cringeworthiness is the second portion of the ad, where we are apparently supposed to see the light that is candidate McCain…

…but I don’t want to spoil the whole thing for you. Watch it for yourself:

    David-

    Yeah, I just don’t see the connection. I just came across a pretty good FactCheck.org debunking of that ad if you’re interested::
