What Does Obama Have to Do With This?

Filed Under campaigns | Comments

Jim Inhofe, long time Oklahoma politician and widely seen as the most conservative senator, is no stranger to dirty attacks when it comes to campaigns. When Inhofe ran for the Senate in 1994 a man in a Pinocchio mask was hired to heckle his Democratice opponent at public outings. Now Inhofe has returned to his tactics. According to the AP:

An Inhofe ad being carried on Oklahoma television stations contains anti-gay overtones, showing a wedding cake topped by two plastic grooms and a photo of the Democratic candidate as a young man, curly haired and wearing a leather jacket.

The Ad in question has been running on Oklahoma TV stations for a few weeks now. The Ad doesn’t stop with the cake or the old picture. No Inhofe’s campaign felt the need to stick Obama in the ad. Obama is hardly polling well in this area commonly seen as the “Buckle of the Bible Belt”. You can hardly go a day without hearing people comparing Obama to the anti-Christ, or still claiming him to be Muslim. Inhofe is playing off the rampant lies spread across the state attempting to link Rice to Obama, a connection that shouldn’t be made.

Mr. Inhofe, address the issues instead of continuing your highly partisan falsehoods.

Inhofe’s Three Ads

**I’ve Sent a message to Mr. Inhofe asking him to address the issues, but he has failed to reply. His email address is jim@jiminhofe.com. Send him an email too if you disagree with his bad ads.
