Right Wing Hate Radio Listeners' Heads Must be Exploding
Every time Rush, Levine, Hannity and Savage spew their sh!t, this guy ... Tony Dean ...

Yesterday, hours after the NRA issued its seven-months-in-the-making endorsement of John McCain, the Obama campaign announced a new radio ad designed to counter the fears of gun owners concerned about Obama's Second Amendment record. Outdoorsman and TV host Tony Dean, who describes himself as a "lifelong Republican" now supporting Obama, assures voters in the ad that Obama will allow them to "keep our guns and our jobs." ...



Or this guy ... Ray Schoeneke...

Obama's Colorado campaign sends over audio of a new radio ad running in the state and in other battlegrounds pushing back on claims that an Obama presidency would be a disaster for gun owners.

The new spot features Ray Schoeneke -- a former Washington Redskins player and current gun rights advocate who's president of the American Hunters and Shooters Association -- promising that Obama will "make sure we can keep our guns."

"But what about our jobs?" the ad asks, shifting the discussion away from hot-button culture-war issues and on to the economy ...

Barack Obama: I'm Barack Obama, candidate for president, and I approved this message.

Ray Schoenke: This is Ray Schoenke. I played football with the Washington Redskins. Now I'm president of the American Hunters and Shooters Association. It's important to me that our next President protects our Second Amendment rights to own guns and defend ourselves.

Barack Obama and John McCain will both make sure we can keep our guns.

But what about keeping our jobs?

Barack's got a real plan that invests in creating jobs here at home and cuts taxes a thousand bucks for working families.

John McCain?

I saw a lot of cheap shots in my day...

But McCain's false attacks on Obama are just a fake to hide the ball. His plan sells out American workers.

McCain will keep giving tax breaks to companies that ship our jobs overseas.

And he'll look the other way while China breaks our trade deals.

It's the same old Bush playbook.

Look, when the coach loses eight years in a row, you don't bring him back for a ninth season!

We just can't afford more of the same.




... Comes on talking very logically about supporting Barack Obama.

I think it's great! :D

5. I caught Mark Levine on the radio on the way home from making calls at the Dem party tonight
and he was saying that what he saw last night was McCain kicking Obama's butt all over the place. Crazy as all get out, he said, "I don't care what the media says, I know what I saw..." A minute later, Tony Dean comes on with that ad. I love it! It just makes me smile. They are so desperate, so disconnected.

9. I've heard Levine a couple times in the last few months.
That dude is whack. And enough with the screeching.

11. Tonight was actually the first time I heard him spew, although I've heard excerpts
His voice reminds me of Lionel's in the same manner that Ed Schultz's voice reminds me of Rush's. :shrug:

14. Yes, agreed (re: voices)
Which is why I can't listen to any of them. (Though I can sit through some of Schultz)

I hate being the spelling police
but it's Mark Levin. Just in case people try to google or something. That said, the man's voice is the most irritating on radio.

8. Gotta love the personalization of the ad... "hiding the ball", etc.
And lovely shift from gun rights to the economy. Kudos to the ad team.

16. The "liberalla" tag (TYT emanates from LA) ... and the "ENOUGH" sig image.
TYT had an "Enough" campaign going many months ago, looking to build support for impeachment.

17. Ohhhhh.... I see...
The 'enough' was inspired by Obama's Convention speech when he shouts "Enough!" and liberalla was borrowed and modified from Barbarella.

TYT are on too early for me to listen. I usually go to sleep around 5 or 6 am.

12. This ad has been airing like crazy on WZTK.
"fortunately" its worst extremes are Neal Boortz and Michael Savage.

If it's been airing on WZTK I bet it's been airing like crazy on the country stations and WSJS too (our "largest" AM talker - sorry I can't get AM radio except in car and reception is so crappy... I turn it off)

19. I hope Barack Obama is truthful about eliminating tax
breaks for companies that move jobs overseas. Wasn't it a Democrat, Bill Clinton, who gave the outsourcing industry their shot in the arm? Also, hasn't Hillary been called the Senator from Mumbai because of her support of outsourcing and H1-B visas?

20. I Heard This Ad
a month ago on a "country music" station in rural Virginia.
I knew at that point that the Obama campaign truly did
have everything covered.
