The Stiletto BlogEveryone’s complaining about how lackluster John McCain’s campaign has been. Well, I’m here to shake things up with the launch of a new 527, pH for America, and our first ad, “The REAL Barack Obama,” that will have liberals whooping and hollering “Swiftboat!” and “Willie Horton.”The “pH” in pH for America stands for “Political Hitman,” which is how I describe my 14 years as an opposition researcher - the polite Beltway euphemism for those who dig up dirt on political opponents - in my book “Confessions of a Political Hitman” (Sourcebooks, 2008).
This 527 was formed to create and disseminate ads to educate the American public about aspects of Obama’s career and character he has been careful to hide so as not to “distract” you from voting for him.
The hard-hitting anti-Gore and anti-Kerry 527 ads I created in 2000 and 2004 were noted by Newsweek, The O’Reilly Factor, Hannity and Colmes, and scores of other major political programs, where I drove liberals crazy.
And now I have a new ad that exposes Obama’s true feelings about religion with footage from his June 28, 2006 keynote address to liberal group “Call to Renewal” at its “Building a Covenant for a New America”conference in which he explains why it would be very difficult to use the bible to guide public policy. In his remarks, Obama insults Christians and Jews by mocking the Old Testament and the “Sermon on the Mount.” He also arrogantly chides Americans for not understanding the Bible, unlike himself, with these pearls of wisdom:
Which passages of Scripture should guide our public policy? Should we go with Leviticus, which suggests slavery is ok and that eating shellfish is abomination? How about Deuteronomy, which suggests stoning your child if he strays from the faith? Or should we just stick to the Sermon on the Mount - a passage that is so radical that it’s doubtful that our own Defense Department would survive its application? So before we get carried away, let’s read our bibles. Folks haven’t been reading their bibles.
If nothing else, this ad reveals flagrant hypocrisy and cynicism on Obama’s part – a self-described “committed Christian.” He cites the same “Sermon on the Mount” he ridiculed in his speech as his inspiration for supporting civil unions for gay couples two years later. Can you believe this guy? He has no shame.
