RNC uses controversial 'Daisy' ad to target Obama

(CNN) — The Republican National Committee Friday unearthed one of the most controversial political ads in American history to take aim at President Obama's decision to close the detention center in Guantanamo Bay.

Called "Daisy," The RNC's new 30-second Web ad uses footage of the now-infamous 1964 Lyndon Johnson commercial by the same name that showed a young girl picking off the petals of a flower as a nuclear explosion is heard in the background.

That ad, which only ran once but was widely criticized as being extreme, ends with the image of a mushroom cloud and Johnson declaring, "We must either love each other, or we must die."

The New RNC ad splices the image of the girl with Obama's earlier declaration suggesting that closing Guantanamo Bay is "easy." This time the girl asks "To close it? To close it not?" as she picks off flower petals.

It also shows Senate Democrats — including Majority Leader Harry Reid — appearing to take issue with proposals to relocate current Guantanamo detainees in the United States.

The new iteration, which forgoes the original's dramatic mushroom-cloud ending, comes days after RNC Chairman Michael Steele declared an end to the Obama administration's "honeymoon" and pledged more aggressive opposition from the GOP.

If violence is not the answer, then why do the elitists pukes of this world use it to control the masses?

[ThisWeekInFascism]

That's their answer. It shouldn't be the people's answer because there's more of us than there are of them. We don't need violence. We've got the numbers.

[angelicsoulz]

Fuck The State Department.Viva Hamas!

[ThisWeekInFascism]

Violence is never the answer.

I heard Giuliani gave the countdown.

We certainly have a BIG job ahead of us don't we? If only we could really live up to the ideals of what America is supposed to represent and hasn't. Where do we start the changes, the election process would be a good start. When you consider that every congress member has to raise at least $20,000.00 a day to have enough money to run again, one can see a problem. Lobbyists? WAR PROFITEERS? Bankers; Corporatists; ETC., ETC., ETC., ETC., ETC.,

We do not need to know the details, the tracks are still being covered but the trail of these demons continues. We can see their destination & are increasingly aware of their goals.

The question is, how far will we permit them to stay ahead before we cut them down?

I am not a violent man, but I know that as long as we continue to allow the multifaceted attack upon humanity, the fewer of us there will be to defend this place & our future generations.

[betterpresident09]

Will we ever know truly what happened. Where was NORAD on that day?

Ask a woman; war sucks, stop war, wake up, be real.
