Looks like the "conservative" group has ideas about Obama also.
Quote:
Desposada's group has run similarly racially-loaded ads in the past. In 2008, Latinos for Reform ran Spanish-language ads in Pennsylvania, Colorado and New Mexico that said then-presidential candidate Barack Obama put the African-American community's interests before the Hispanic community's and prioritized relations with Africa over relations with Latin America.
Yeah we've all heard of those stories that your side imagined....
Sorry but it has been proven and well documented. Maybe your the one imagining things, or not wanting to acknowledge this tawdry legacy of the democratic party?
Univision is now saying they refuse to run the ads..
And check out who's funding these ads....

the group’s 8872 form lists the same P.O. Box number as the one belonging to the Admiral Roy F. Hoffmann Foundation,an organization founded by the chairman of Swift Boat Veterans for Truth (SBVT), Roy F. Hoffmann. For those who don’t recall, SBVT was another 527 group formed during the 2004 elections aimed at opposing Sen. John Kerry’s (D-MA) presidential bid by distorting and misrepresenting his war record.
Latinos for Reform, the Hoffmann Foundation, and SBVT have all employed the services of the same consulting firm, Political Compliance Services. Susan Arceneaux, a “long time aide of Dick Armey” heads the company. The firm markets itself as “an accounting services vendor specializing in FEC regulations. Our comprehensive approach to your individual accounting needs will deliver you from the headaches and legal ramifications of FEC non-compliance.” Latinos for Reform hasn’t filed anything with the IRS since April 2, 2009. Latinos for Reform’s post-election 2008 report also lists an expenditure of $1,203 that went towards Paul Sullivan & Associates, a law firm recommended by the Republican National Lawyers Association (RNLA).
That ad is horrible, and I say that as a fiscal conservative. It's bullcrap, sets a horrible precedent, and a terrible message. As American citizens, we all have an OBLIGATION to vote. Write in a candidate, or vote for yourself, but we all are obligated to go to the ballot box on election day. In 2008, I didn't like either major candidate for president, but I cast my vote for Chuck Baldwin, and disagreeing with him on his relgious platform, knowing he wouldn't win, but I did so anyway, because it's my duty, and I attempted to find least imperfect candidate in my eyes (we are never going to agree with any politician on every issue). If that sounds corny, then so be it, but I take the 10-15 minutes out of my life one time a year to cast my vote.
