Group Claims Obama "Soft on Crime"
Now that Obama has clinched the Democratic nomination, the right is ramping up it's efforts to define him on their terms-- namely as soft on crime and terrorism, oh and also as sort of vaguely foreign.
"On a website he calls ExposeObama.com, Floyd G. Brown, the producer of the Willie Horton ad that helped defeat Michael S. Dukakis in 1988, is preparing an encore.
Brown is raising money for a series of ads that he says will show Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) to be out of touch on an issue of fundamental concern to voters: violent crime. One spot already making the rounds on the Internet attacks the presumptive Democratic nominee for opposing a bill while he was a state legislator that would have extended the death penalty to gang-related murders."
Get ready for this and countless other ways they will try to stoke voters' fears.
