Here's the guy's post... read it
--------------------------------
It was clear YouTube was going to play a significant role in the upcoming election. But, this is an interesting new development: anonymous folks posting attack ads, and then the swift response. We can't keep up with all of them. We found the Hillary one yesterday. The Obama response this morning. Now, there are even more.
Note: This is an unauthorized ad, and is not endorsed by Obama's campaign. Update: Obama has denied any association with the ad.
"It may be the most stunning and creative attack ad yet for a 2008 presidential candidate - one experts say could represent a watershed moment in 21st century media and political advertising."
And here's a response. This'll be fun to watch as it plays out.

47. The ad is unauthorized and is not endorsed by Senator Obama. People should withhold judgement and allow Obama to issue a press release.

48. Please!!! The only people who should be worried about this ad are the ones who paid for it - the Republican Party. Even a simple subpoena in a civil lawsuit will get that information, if its not a violation of campaign laws. Plus it was lame.
The Republican Party is desperate according to a March poll done by CBS. Every Repubican senator who was lucky enough not to be up for re-election will likely lose their seat in 2008, and a Democrat will be sitting in the White House. Even Republicans think so. I just didn't think they were so desperate that they would start their swift boat tactics this early.
Checkout solidpolitics.com and the article about the CBS poll and the Republicans' realization that they will be the new minority party ad infinitim. Huge corporate donations won't help them - especially when they are disclosed the the American People, and we Democrats have learned how to churn out BIG money for our candidates, one citizen at time.
Don't pay much attention to the Repub comments on this board. Its just evidence of how desperate they are. They f****d themselves when ingratiated themselves to the Fundamentalists and remained loyal slaves to the Bush Administration, the most corrupt administration in history.
Another example of rats bailing off a sinking ship: Halliburton. After making a fortune off a no-bid war contract that we have to pay for with our taxes - they're off to Dubai so they don't have to pay America taxes. I wonder if George and Dick will move there too - they're sleazy enough to skip out on their taxes.

49. Steve England writes: "it wasnt a G.O.P.trick,just regular communist(democrat)stuff."
Steve is a poster child for love and patriotism - he just got done recommending a second holocaust by committing genocide of all gays and lesbians. Steve, your a real piece of work. Between your horrible conflict over your homosexual urges and your desire to turn America into Nazi America with a "final solution", have you considered getting psychiatric help? You're the best possible advertisement for the Democratic Party, and we don't even have to pay you. Please don't stop blogging, we Democrats appreciate you giving us good PR - all we have to do is compare ourselves to you.

50. The "Harold, call me" crowd was successful tho..
liars depend on ignorance and the ignorant never let them down....look at the piece of crap that won that election? tons of money to spend on lies and distortions... It amazes me that people know so little about what or who they're voting for...

51. I agree with Steve, Phil always talks crap about someone else. Take a good look at yourself before you judge others. Everyone doesnt agree with what u think. I think she did it herself. She wants ppl feeling sorry for her. Women are known to do things like this. Women can be very mean.

52. I think it was ignorant. I wanna hear him say something about why he should be president. I didn't know much about him but if he did approve this I won't vote for him. Slamming the person your up against is a bit childish. I guess there might be a chance I won't vote at all if everyone lowers themselves to such standards.

53. This lady has a mission: impose socialism; she is set to take the hard earned money from my pocket and promise it to her gullible followers, political zombies, "all you need is love mentality", sixties renegates; She wants to be the president for her own pride, to make a point that she can do it..not for the benefit of our country..It is so obviuos everytime she panders..Let her continue to be a senator, or become a small village senator in the after Castro Cuba..Raul Castro will give her a job..She only needs to continue her current policies there...

54. The pernicious R blogggers trained in college to do dirty work are at it well financed by Oil,Gas and the War industries that support this sick group(along with the whackos that think they talk with god)
They should all be drafted at the end of their four years in college.Front line service preferred.
The attacks on Gore and his documentry are also well financed by the smoke stack,oil industries who do not want one penny rmoved from their bottom line
What a lovely bunch, all patriots to be sure.

55. obama, is bush is sheeps clothing, knows nothing about diplomacy, and less about military tactics, he is a pretty boy, who states what voters want to hear, he will never see the inside of the white house except maybe on a tour, america is hip, they are no longer in the dark, they do not want lip service, they want a diplomatic president who can take us forward with respect, and diplomacy, we do not need rap in the white house

56. "The ad was one of Apple Computer Superbowl ads a few years ago. They aren't known to make nice-nice with folks screwing with their Intellectual Property."
Yep Bill Gates could do even more for peace and happiness in the world by tracking down the sad sick person that's controling so many weak minds in this country YES I'm talking about DR EVIL AKA Rove does any one know for sure what year it is? Are we in the Matrix?

57. Pernicious, Jack Doyle; did you say that you found some R's to be pernicious, Jack? Whilst I find some D's to be pusillanimous; and your 'Hero' George Soros doesn't live in America Jack; he lives in Britian... Oh! And, Jack, you couldn't fit into my Comabat Boots...

58. hORRIBLE.
REPUBLICANS ARE GOING TO FEAST ON THIS. OBAMA IS SIMPLY NOT A SEASONED CANDIDATE. THIS ILLOGICAL FIGHT IS GOING TO DESTROY BOTH OBAMA AND CLINTON.IT WILL LEAVE THE REPUBLICANS AN OPEN FIELD TO ELECT ANYONE.THEY ARE STANDING BY THE SIDELINES GLOATING WHILE AN INEXPERIENCED JR. SENATOR TRIES TO DESTROY THE ONLY CANDIDATE THAT THE REPUBLICANS FEAR-CLINTON. I WOULDN'T BE SURPRISED IF THE REPUBLICANS WERE SECRETLY BACKING OBAMA. OBAMA IS NOT ELECTABLE WHICH IS WHY THE REP. WANT HIM TO BEAT HILARY.
