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.

91. I'm rather confused:
a. Who actually wrote and produced this? Democrat or Republican? Obama or Hillary or Bush?
b). I'm not even sure what it is saying.
c). Since no one is accepting responsibility, since the ad doesn't really relect well on Obama, and since dirty tricks are so frequent from the Right--I'll withold judgement until more is know.
d). Damn, this is going to be a long season until 2008

92. I find it puzzling, rather than insulting. Hilary has been taken to the coals by the Republican right. She knows how to take hits. Obama is a relataive newcomer. He doesn't know what he's in for. John Kerry made the mistake of not hitting back and hard with those Vietnam boat attack ads. Hilary is made of sterner stuff. When she does respond, it will not be pretty. Brace yourself Obama campaign. RC in Austin, Texas

93. Don't you read or watch the news.....this ad WASN'T authorized or endorsed by Obama's campaign...so stop with the racist and hateful comments and become educated before you speak.....but could you ever of thought that maybe Hillary sent this out to make her self look innocent and Obama look bad??? Since everyone is into conspiracies...

94. Obama give way for Hillary. Who are you? From no way you just come to the scene and you want to be the president. You know that is not possible. And, how dear you attach the next American President - Hillary. Obama Your publicity is being overrated by the publican. They know if you becaome the democratice nominee, they will defiet you. They will not defient Hillary, so give way for Hillary. Pack up and get out of the way.

95. Nice ad obama. Now why don't you talk about your white mother

96. Obama has denied authorizing this ad. However, I find it quite effective in suggesting the danger of embracing a far left agenda vis-a-vis Hillary Clinton. To the extent that Obama can present himself as the more centrist of the two, he will be triumphant (or at least he should be).

97. It is a shame that people running for office have to become the type of people they are saying they aren't.Americans say they don't want Hillary but they say they don't want Obama. Get a clue America
they world is in terriable shape and we need someone in office that has experience in dealing with problems on a global level. No matter how you paint your own picture of the people running,the fact is Obama just dosen't have the vital experience needed to lead our country.

103. All of you who still can not read between the lines, need to know that neither party is honest nor trust worthy. So why don't you all stop with the political BS and realize that we have a president in office now (whom many of you voted for) that lies continuosly. We can only speculate why he would do such a thing, but it is very apparent from public polls that he has lied one too many times (and not smart enough not to get caught). Now, before anyone truely knows the 2008 candidates stance on issues, you are slinging mud.
The true issue in this country is civilizations moral decay, know one wants to take responsibility for whom they vote, as so long as they stand by there party. Sick, sick, sick! Vote for the best, not the affiliation.
