[Rant] I am so surprised to have searched around YouTube and found this ad. Republican ads like this, appear to be popular in the South. I found many similar to this one by simply clicking around. Republicans are attempting to establish a link from Obama's pastor's "unpatriotic" comments to Obama and then to Democratic candidates. They are trying to frame their opponents as unpatriotic and radical who are unreligious and hate guns. To me, advertisements such as this have no validity and persuasive effect whatsoever and are merely playing off a stereotype of southerners. I think they are ridiculous and baseless.

I do think it is odd that Obama's pastor was getting so much attention. This is probably because growing up, I didn't always agree with what my pastor said, so I never thought that other people would. But I think that we do have to take into account that to some people, what their religious figure head says is word, and that it isn't up for debate. So keeping this in mind, I don't see it as so bizarre that the Republican party would be using Obama's pastor and religious advisor against him, especially after some of the crazy things he has said. On the other hand, maybe Obama's pastor only said those things to gain media attention...
