God Damn America? Truncated speech speaking of an Imaginary God daming America? That's considered hateful these days?

The 'character issue' was already addressed during the primaries and even brought up by Democrats. McCain said he would not bring it up again, then did at the end to no avail because it wasn't an actual issue. It's not like people didn't hear about it..it's all Palin talked about when she was finally allowed to open her mouth..it's just that it was utter bullshit.

The ad has a strong message. I believe the character issue was overlooked by most of the Obama supporters.
… but this ad would not have changed anything. I'm glad it wasn't aired.

This ad was actually produced by the campaign ITSELF…as opposed to some sketchy 527. So it has Stevie's fingerprints all over it.
