Bizarre new attack ad on Obama
Attytood reports:
Have any other Philadelphians seen a brand new anti-Obama attack ad that seems to have been literally dropped on Pennsylvania in the very final hours of the campaign? I saw it late last night on ESPN as I was falling asleep (like any true 49-year-old guy!) and it just aired again on the 10 a.m. rerun of "The Daily Show."
It's man-on-the-street type interviews with young voters in an urban, Philly-looking, setting. "Can you tell us your favorite Obama policy?," an off-screen narrator asks a couple of befuddled young voters, while a third young adult babbles something about "hope and vision." Then words are stamped on the screen: "You don't know Bama"...at least that what it looked like, I didn't see an "O" -- weird.
It says the ad is paid for by Morgan Warstler.
This 2000 article from Los Angeles magazine identifies him as a young "junk mail mogul":
I can't find any news about this ad, and oddly I couldn't find it on YouTube. Can anyone help with this one?
UPDATE: A March 2007 Vanity Fair article identified Warstler as "a thirtysomething entrepreneur who dabbles as a conservative operative" and says he's a close friend of Andrew Breitbart, longtime contributor to the Drudge Report.
UPDATE II: Hey, crowdsourcing works -- an alert reader helped track the ad down to its source.
You can watch it here.
It's a product of something that the above-mentioned Warstler is involved in called Saysme.tv, and here is a description of the venture:
