Obama Smears Rush Limbaugh and John McCain as anti-Mexican Bigots

The Washington Post‘s Ed O’Keefe reports on a new Spanish TV ad produced by the Obama campaign:

“They want us to forget the insults we’ve put up with, the intolerance,” the television ad’s announcer says in Spanish as a picture of Rush Limbaugh appears onscreen with quotes of him saying, “Mexicans are stupid and unqualified” and “Shut your mouth or get out.” “They made us feel marginalized in a country we love so much,” the ad continues. “John McCain and his Republican friends have two faces. One that says lies just to get our vote and another, even worse, that continues the failed policies of George Bush that put special interests ahead of working families.”

ABC’s Jake Tapper reports that those Limbaugh quotes have been horribly ripped out of context by Obama. Really, you have to read all of Tapper’s post to see how utterly dishonest the Obama campaign is. Just in case Joe Klein, E.J. Dionne, and Michael Crowley don’t provide the McCain campaign with any money quotes denouncing this ad to use in a video press release, I’m going to give it a whirl: This is the sleaziest, most despicable and dishonest ad ever, thus leading me to conclude that it’s the unholy handiwork of Obama’s three closest friends: former business partner and convicted felon Tony Rezko, flag-desecrating unrepentant terrorist William Ayers, and his racist America-hating pastor of 20 years, the Rev. Jeremiah Wright–who may or may not be the true father of Michelle Obama’s daughters. Have you no shame, Mr. Obama? (Team McCain should feel free to attribute the above comment to CBS News–they once reproduced an article that I wrote.)
