"I hear that they were originally going to do an hour of just glowing media clips from major talking heads, but they couldn't pare it down to a half hour," MRC Director of Communications Seton Motley quipped to Fox News Channel's Steve Doocy about Sen. Barack Obama's Oct. 29 half hour-long paid advertisement that ran on NBC, CBS, and Fox network stations.
"I didn't see anything new that really needed to be told last night.... To see if it's effective, let's see what the 'Pushing Daisies' ratings were," Motley added, referring to the program in the 8 p.m. Wednesday time slot on ABC, the one broadcast network which didn't carry the Obama informercial.

Didn't watch the infomercial
October 30, 2008 - 11:09 ET by mvrDidn't watch the infomercial last night.....I read a few of my favorite blogs and saw something new. What is the Civilian National Security Force? THAT scares me more than anything.
That is a domestic security
October 30, 2008 - 11:33 ET by Scuba DudeThat is a domestic security force that Bambi wants to create, something roughly the size of the US Army. And I think it would cost about a trillion dollars, I might be wrong on that amount.
I think it will be comparable to the old KGB in the USSR.
Bambi is starting his own little takeover of the US and modeling it after the Russians. The Bush's better be careful or they may wind up like the Czar's family.
Might be time for all
October 30, 2008 - 11:51 ET by mvrMight be time for all us Texans to secceed....
There will be a subsection
October 30, 2008 - 15:14 ET by stratmanThere will be a subsection for youth of America.
Maybe he will name it the Obama Youth as homage to another youth group in the 1930's that were well trained to rat out their parents. It worked for Germany, right?
The envirofacists and NEA approve the indoctrination of America's young. You will too... eventually.
you didn't know mvr??
October 30, 2008 - 12:41 ET by candanceThat's old news. Obama introduced a plan back on July 2 that would force children to do "community service," use federal funds to build a civilian police squad, and tie college tuition assistance to community volunteer work.
Go ahead and ask the lefties here about it. They insist that Obama is really a moderate who was just tossing ideas around and really won't change things as much as we fear.
Change is what you're left with when you've spent all your dollars.

This "infomercial" has got
October 30, 2008 - 11:37 ET by Chris NormanThis "infomercial" has got be the worst example of political excess and the display of arrogance and hubris, next to the Roman Empire convention set and the grotesque "celebration" planned for Tuesday night. With no checks whatsoever on this campaign by the media, it has really become an ugly display of ego.

Remember the youtube video
October 30, 2008 - 11:52 ET by MassConservativeRemember the youtube video of the "Obama youth" marching in lockstep singing the praises of "the one" while dressed in military fatigues. Find it and that will give you a pretty good idea on what the Civilian National Security Force will look like.

I just pray Obama loses
October 30, 2008 - 11:56 ET by ckbennetttnI know if he loses it will be way worse than anything in '04 and even '00, with all the carping and legal proceedings, but it will be worth it. Maybe then we can really discard the MSM and liberals as truly irrelevant.

The Obamaercial
October 30, 2008 - 14:23 ET by GeneralAlI didn't even consider watching the Messiah last night. We watched reruns on the Game Network. At least "Who wants To Be A Millionaire and Family Fuede" are for real. If I want to watch a fairy tale, I can always select the Disney Channel!
