By Michael Falcone

An independent conservative group went on the air with a new ad on Monday to be followed by a full-length documentary film that attempts to portray Senator Barack Obama, the presumptive Democratic nominee, as an over-hyped media darling.

The group, Citizens United, which also produced a film earlier this year critical of Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton, is spending $250,000 to run the ad on Fox News through the end of the week.

The 30-second spot features a mix of conservative voices – former Ohio Secretary of State Ken Blackwell, the Rev. Joe Watkins, and commentators Tucker Carlson and Dick Morris. They accuse the press of harboring a pro-Obama bias, or as Mr. Carlson puts it in the ad, “The press loves Obama. I mean not just love but sort of like an early teenage crush.”

The ad is a prelude to the film, “Hype: The Obama Effect,” which Citizens United plans to release in early September. According to the film’s Web site it will ask — and answer — a few questions about Mr. Obama, including whether he is “the uniter the country begs for, or a liberal divider.”

Will Holley, a spokesman for the group, said the film will be released in theaters in select markets across the country and offered for sale on DVD.

2. These people are like the crud that gathers on the bottom of your shoe....

:mad:

3. pass me the Pepto PLEASE, I feel a wave of nausea approaching. nt

[newmajority]

4. So they're using election stealing criminals and prostitute toe suckers to make their case?

Blackwell and Morris - models of integrity. Yeah right :eyes:

[jenmito]

5. There's a very simple response to that-just show ALL the "gaffes" McCain has made that got no

coverage and end by saying, "Be careful what you wish for..."

[depakid]

15. So called "high road" campaign don't do that.

It's not in their nature.

[lyonn]

16. That's a good one Jen,

Interesting that this time they are using people we can identify. None of them can keep a job. They drift around the cable spots, mostly Fox, making no sense to those that have no sense.

[pot luck]

6. That's the best they've got?

Don't vote for Obama because the media loves him. Huh? I was expecting something along the lines of he's the secret love child of Osama and Sadam Hussein.

[Cant trust em]

7. as a rule, I hate groups with names like "Citizens United"

What a cheap and corny propaganda ploy.

[Drunken Irishman]

8. Why run it on FOX News?

[Frances]

9. I was thinking the same thing

That's like preaching to the choir.

Fox: Anti Obama 24/7

10. Somebody should make a documentary of

just what john mccain has been up to his entire life.

mr A$$hole Keating 5.

[Maven]

11. ...

Edit: Never mind, I was mistaken.

Fuck them anyway.

[jaysunb]

12. Not Tucker ?? !!

How can he be, well, whatever they call him on MSNBC, and be shilling for or against any candidate out in the open.

I don't understand . :shrug:

[jarjarbing]

13. The premise of the attack is weak

Everyone knows that if there has been a politician whose ascent to power has been due to the media's adoration, his name is John McCain.

14. Everybody who's surprised please raise your hand, no hands, that's what i thought.

[Sparkly]

17. They're trying to be Michael Moore.

But in "select markets." And of course, being completely WRONG.

[AlCzervik]

18. and they fail epically, anything that was ever associated with David Bossie sucks to the

nth degree.

[iconicgnom]

19. hehe. I'm totally laughing, here. These $buffoons$ are great comedy.

Has Tucker been fired that low? Shoveling elephant poop?

I don't watch TV. Just, long time ago now, I lost interest. So I'm never up on things TV, and hadn't heard or seen a "Tucker" until I chanced on a youtube of Rachel Maddow being interviewed by said "talking head". Mind you, I give Tucker credit for giving Maddow airtime. It's just that reality sets in, and the way it was is and shall ever be that Maddow vivisected Tucker in a curious way, opening his skull, peering in, shaking it upside down in faint hopes, then after putting her head in her arms and laugh/crying to every God who didn't or did exist, she sewed Tucker back up again, having demonstrated the case at hand, without Tucker being in any way aware.

20. I detest that Joe Watkins.

What an asshat. I can't stand the sight of him, I have to hit the mute button.

[cliffordu]

21. Someone should release a video about these scumsuckers. Who are they?

Rats and roaches HATE the light of day. Imagine these "Power Brokers" being passed around the internet like the brain syphillis they really are.....

Anybody have Michael Moore's home phone number??
