A reader in Columbus forwards a text message he and his wife both got from an Iowa exchange today:

Know the facts: Call 641-715-3900 ext. 83682
Then please fwd this 2 your phonebook they need 2 know.
You will Lose your freedoms this November 4th if you don't know!!!!

"I’m calling for John McCain and the Republican National Committee because you need to know that Barack Obama has worked closely with domestic terrorist Bill Ayers," says the message on that number, which appears to be operated by a vendor who specializes in these messages.

It seems to be a hybrid buy, attacking both Obama and Democrats who "will enact an extreme leftist agenda."

It then cuts to what sound like snippets from talk radio or Fox News: "The Illinois senator’s connections to this radical group are still going strong...It’s groups like acorn that forced those banks to give out those loans in the first place..."
