I just heard Rev. Wright's speech. Do we want a President who has listened to that for 20 years? I dont think so.

The republicans complain about being unfair. Well what about all of us, who have put up with all the lies, for the last 8 years. And what about our Grand kids, who will be paying for this war for years.
Then you throw in George Bush,Dick Chaney, And the almighty Carl Rove. Dont talk to me about unfair. Go get em Howard.

As long as we have bases in the Middle East, no matter what our intentions are, citizens of those countries will have a legitimate reason to defend themselves from us. Whether our government invaded Iraq with good or bad intentions is beside the point; "peace-keeping mission", in the case of Iraq, is a euphemism for "21st century colonialism".

CNN,

Did Sen.Obama pick up another Super Delegate?
I think Arizona Democratic Party first Vice Chairwoman Charlene Fernandez endorsed him today?

Clearly the Republicans are quaking in their boots over people knowing the truth. McCain really did say it was OK by him if we had troops there for 100 years.

As always, the truth is to Republicans like holy water to a vampire.

And the RNC can have ads about Wright's sermons put out of context?? The DNC should sue them instead… what is Dean waiting for?

Hey, a tit for a tat.

DEMOCRATES UNITE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

RNC to Dean: don't tell half-truths about our candidate, although we will about yours!

A COUPLE OF MY HIGH SCHOOLERS OR BRIGHT

MIDDLES SCHOOLERS CAN PUT THAT TOGETHER & DO

A NET VIRAL PROMOTION THAT CAN HIT A MILLION

PEOPLE A DAY. THE THOUGHT POLICE CAN'T STOP THAT.

Good work DNC!

DNC vs. RNC is better than Obama vs. Clinton……We need more of this to heal the party and shift focus away from our in-fighting….

As for the ad- ok it might not explain McCain's quote in its entirety….but McCain did make that statement….it was not as if words were put in his mouth like RNC has been doing with its ads featuring Obama…..

The Republicans filing a law suit———–IMAGINE THAT!
Obama 08!

The DNC ad is a lie.

How is this news? Must be a slow news day.

They are the party of lies lol.

Republicans hate it when they begin to get beaten by their own game. Whatever. You folks wrote that book, but weren't intelligent enough to get a patent.

McCain now wants to disavow his own words. He disavowed his first wife when she was disfigured in an accident and married a younger, wealthier woman. This campaign season, he disavowed his Episcopalian religion and became a fundamentalist Baptist to win some votes. I do not trust a man who is not loyal to his family, his faith, or his word.

If anyone is to blame for costing the Dems the election in the fall, it's Obama.
He knew better than anyone who he is, and what would come out. He knew about his relationships with Wright and the leader of the weater underground. Who does he think he's fooling.
He didn't care.
I guess he thought no one would notice.

Good for Dean. The repubbies don't like it when the have to take what they have dished out for years.! Let them whine and holler. Take it to court, tie it up with delays and keep airing it!

THE THOUGHT POLICE ARE AT IT AGAIN.

THAT'S WHY THE SUPREME COURT IS LOADED WITH CRAZIES.

THE RNC WILL DICTATE THE NEXT PRESIDENT,

AS THEY DID WITH BUSH IF THE DNC WOOSES OUT AGAIN.

EVERYBODY SEEMS WANTS TO INTERPRET WHAT WE HEAR.

MCWAR HAS SAID MANY TIMES. WE HAVE HEARD IT MANY TIMES.

IF WE WERE THE DNC WE WOULD PUT TOGETHER

A COLLAGE OF THEM, & MAYBE THEY ARE. THERE ARE DOZENS

LOVE THE ONE THAT HE CAN'T REMEMBER WHO WE ARE

FIGHTING IN IRAQ, OR THE ONE THAT HE CAN'T REMEMBER

IF HE IS A LIBERAL OR CONSERVATIVE. SWITCH OFTEN ENOUGH

& IT MAY BE DIFFICULT FOR ANYONE, LET ALONE OLD CRAZY.

Please,

I am not a rude person by nature, and even if I was I would do my darndest to contain myself. The DNC is only airing an ad which is true, these are not the trumped up outright lies that the McCain Republican Party is airing in their ad about Sen. Barak Obama!!!!!!!! I think that if Sen. McCain really meant what he said, that he did not agree with this disgusting totally untruthful ad about Barak, he would have been able to get the GOPs to pull the add. But no, he talks out of one side of his mouth, and it is the old …Wink…Wink…go ahead boys trash Barack, no matter if you are telling lies no one will know the difference. Well guess what the DNC knows the difference, and I take my hat of to them. Their ad is telling the truth, so go get him guys!!!!!!!!!!!

It is obvious that the democrats are getting more and more desperate. Now, they have to twist the meaning of McCain's comments so that it looks like he wants to have a war to drag on for 100 years. When it comes to the economy, McCain knows a hell of a lot more than Barack, as he understands that improving the business environment by keeping taxes low and keeping control on excessive regulation is a recipe to to speedup the recovery of the economy that we are beginning to enjoy.

JR, so why is RNC whining like a Clinton ??
Why dont we take over the UN now we are at it ??

I thought Republicans are against trivial lawsuits.

Once again they're proving they're nothing but hipporcrites.

If McCain didn't mean it, he shouldn't have said it and, as in the case of Clinton and her bone-headed comments about snipers and the like, the cameras and the microphones don't lie.

Obama drop out! Give Dean some rest. Just drop out obama!

It is going to be really interesting, to see if the Polls will be adjusted in any way to allow for the Supreme Court's new ruling, that voters must be able to show their Government Picture ID. Just watch the polls over the next few days, we are going to have some fun. You should be able to judge for yourselves just how realistic these Poll of Polls are!!!!
Can you imagine how many people may have been voting, who had no right to do so? I won't hazard a guess, I think I am going to leave that up to you to decide. Good luck.

Wait a minute. The DNC, Clinton, and Obama are all over the airwaves complaing that McCain should and could stop the negative ad from the NC GOP against the Democratic governatorial candidates, but they won't stop this ad???

Seems a little hypocritical.

Let's hope the Democrats don't complain later in the campaign, because the DNC started the negative ads first!

Republicans LOVE lawyers! Just ask Dick Cheney.

LOVE IT! Has Dean grown a pair? Nice!

Complain when it suits you. The RNC is just as flagrant a violator as the DNC.

mcbush/clinton/bush/ have us in 2 wars and billary now wants to bomb iran. peace, you gotta love it.

Aaaaw … snivel, snivel. Why aren't they threatening to sue the North Carolina RNC for continuing to run those ads with Barack? The one that the National RNC claims they and McBush are "demanding" they stop? Then again the head of the NC-RNC claims she hasn't received a phone call or anything from McBush. Go figure…

WHAT'S THE MATTER THE REPUBLICAN ATTACK DOGS CAN'T TAKE IT! THE REPUBLICANS ARE A BUNCH OF WHIMPS! THEY WILL BE RUNNING THESE TYPES OF ADS YOU WATCH! YEAH RIGHT MCCAIN COULD NOT STOP THE WRIGHT AD IN NC. IN THE WORDS OF HILLARY CLINTON YOU CAN'T STAND THE HEAT STAY OUT OF THE KITCHEN!!

DEMOCRATS FOR THE WHITE HOUSE!

Jack Cafferty needs to zip up his mouth against Hillary. I think he is very closed to having to applogize for his personal remarks on Hillary. Jack, chill OK? We know you are an old naggie man, but please if you cant' act like a professional commentator then CNN needs to give you your walking papers and retire you early! Like now!

you knew it was just a matter of time before a party would sue over a campaign commercial. Both parties will prob. end up seeking legal defense over some of these ads because they won't get more civilized as the campaigning rolls on.

Cuba - 105 years
Japan - 63 years
Germany - 64 years
Korea - 58 years
Afghanistan - 7 years

The United States has troops permanently stationed in 135 countries. Iraq for 100 years, is probably about right. We seem to want to punish our politicians for telling us things we don't want to hear. At least McCain is being honest. The fact is we will have a presence there for some time to come, no matter what Clinton or Obama tell us to get elected.

John McCain has a black baby.

John Kerry is a coward, not a hero

Barack Obama is a) a muslim, b) a friend to terrorists, c) responsible for the statements of everyone he's ever met.

Hillary Clinton is the anti-christ.

All lies spread by the RNC or its lackeys at one time or another. Why does anyone even listen to these guys any more? More important: why don't major media outlets (like CNN) call them on their lies?

dt

Hmmmmh!!!Now the Obama supporters want to dictate on how Governors of powerful States have to vote on who as superdelegates,they have to endorse! a small developing dictatorship or what?No way and it will not happen.

The RNC can never deny that John McCain advocated a 100-year troop presence in Iraq. It would be NICE and honorable of the DNC to show that he also said "as long as troops aren't being hurt or killed" but the ultimate mindset of the quote can be reduced to the soundbite.

Ty — I make perfect sense. Hillary won the Texas popular vote, but Obama claims the victory because of the caucus voting — which was a mess that went on until three and four in the morning. Many people had to stand in line for hours to even get into the Texas caucuses. I would have just gone home too — I work! The duel system does not work! Let's nominate a candidate by popular vote, and let the chips fall where they may.

The whole system is a mess, and the DNC should work to straighten it out. There should be one unified voting system from state to state; and, quite frankly, the DNC should not be able to tell any state when to hold its balloting. Set an election window, and let the states pick their dates! And, if the big Democratic boys can't find a more workable system — they should step aside.

Let me just say for the record, Clinton is a Clinton is a Clinton…politics as usual…political machine run by insiders…McCain, same thing…many people are for these two thinking that they will, in turn, be for them after the election…WAKE UP, people…Hillary will say anything, do anything, and DRINK anything to get elected!

Some of us would like a president with a room temperature IQ who will not bankrupt the country with endless war. Let the warmonger McCain get a clue what he's in for with his Bomb, Bomb, Bomb, Iran stupidity!

I am shocked and awed at this insightful revelation…

Politicians twisting the truth to get into office?
Lawyers jumping in on the slightest opportunity to sue?
The media taking a story in or out of context and running with it to grab ratings?

Impossible! next you'll tell me that's air i'm breathing…

C'mon! Get real! This is just the another salvo of the long, ugly mud-slinging and lie-spewing political season - much of which is still ahead of us.

Git yer Hip-waders!

Would anyone stand up against the clinton dynsty? she adn billy boo are being taken to court in CA, but CNN and the rest of the biased media, who can not and will not stomach having a young senator of mixed race become our next president _ say a thing about it………

sad sad state of politics..

CNN please do some fact finding on the case in CA which is going on NOW.
Defendants: Billy boo and Hillary Boo

The ad is not misleading. McCain is busted!!!

The RNC is expert on these matters. If they say it is bad they KNOW! I think we are on shaky ground here, the expert mud slingers and swiftboaters know drivil and smear when it comes to their door!!!

Some form of the Republican party put out an ad in North Carolina that is malicously false - what's good for the goose is good for the gander.

who asked you, you miserable, bloated criminal?

obama shoud be giving YOU advice on what it takes to get your soul back from beelzebub and become HUMAN again!!!

if we want advice from an immoral, win-at-no-costs US-citizens-and-constitution-be-dammed, we'd ask rush or cheney or penn or hagge… see, there's this way of living your life where you do things with INTEGRITY and WITHOUT CHEATING, you repubs should look into it, it's really a much more fulfilling and happy existence!!!

stick a fork in you, YOU SOUL-LESS REPUBS ARE DONE, BABY!!!!!! BUH-BYE repubs, dont let the door hit ya, where beelzebub split ya!!!!!

jo your ignorance amazes even me! The military DOES need to listen when the people at home tell them what they are doing is wrong that the tours they spent over there were for all the worng reasons, to put it bluntly the miulitary does not work for just the president but for ALL Americans. That said now to comments about the article…

The RNC wants to ahve ti both ways again in this election they do not want anyone to take a sound bite of their candidate and play it over and over out of context but they feel they have the right to do so to an opponent. The fact of the matter is Mr. McCain DID say he would not care if the military was in Iraq for 100 years or more. That is a fact, to show him saying it is not "maliciously false" It IS, however, Maliciously misleading, much like the snippets eveeryone heard from rev. Wright, taken out of context they sound terrible but if people would bother to look into it they MIGHT understand them. In this case I have to support the RNC, however I would wish they, and their own supporters, would show the same restraint they are asking of the DNC, but since it is not likely that either party will as long as more of the same old same old is running politics in the US stand by for more of these types (this and the NC ad) from the state parties and the national parties, hey it gets voters to hate the opponent whatever the real facts are 9just look at the comments about Mr. Obama and Rev. Wright if you do not believe they work). So how can you ask the parties not to do it? Oh yeah I know by being Mr. Obama and NOT doing it

JCB - your statements make no sense. The democratic process will continue and will show that Obama leads in delegates, states won, popular vote etc. Why should they resign? You shouldn't post dumb thoughtless comments here.

Howard Dean is a disaster. No wonder Southern states don't vote for Dems anymore…

Let the RNC have John McCain admit "sometimes we say things we don't mean", instead of screaming it's illegal and misleading when McCain did in fact say 100 years in Iraq. Both Hillary and Barack have had to admit to saying things they didn't mean. Republicans need to bone up to the truth.

Really? A political ad that's misleading. I thought that was the definition of a political ad. Kind of like the country being misled by this administration for 8 years and it is still allowed to rule. Grow up Republicans. If you don't like misleading politics, set an example before you whine like little children who are not happy with the way things are.

Dean is a sleaze and needs to be fired. The ad is totally misleading and should not be run - I'm guessing but I think it's really going to backfire because the whole country already knows the truth about the "100 years" comment. And I'm a independent democrat.

The Dems. need to get the election process fixed before the next election. Eliminate caucuses, winner take all, vote all states in a time zone block.

Oh, puhleeease! The republican party taking the ethical high road? Now the world really is topsy-turvey.

I'm glad he's getting a dose of his own medicine. They took Obama's comments out of context. It's your turn, now. How does it feel to have your words twisted and "sound bit" to make it sound a different way.

Bottom line: whether its peacetime or wartime over there: our American people have voiced our view on our troops being there. Even if you are talking about having them over there during peacetime (if that were possible over there), then this would still be unacceptable to most of America.

Play the clip a million times, CNN. Pretend it's the Rev Wright video.

Well…. Well…. Well.

How the tables have TURNED. The Republican GOP ran their very nasty and offensive Ads against Sen. Barrack Obama in NC using the Rev. Wright snippets in the Ads and NOW….they're on the other end of the stick and guess what they are crying the blues. Hummm can't take your own medicine huh? Funny that.

I say to these jerks… let the horses mouth ramble on!! Sen. McCain DID make those statements about the WAR and since the Republican GOP did NOT want to play FAIR in NC when they ran those "nasty" ads against Sen. Obama and his NC supporters just this week, then ALL bets are off!

Based on their own negligence, the Democratic GOP does NOT owe the Republican GOP any level of courtesy what so ever. These idiots started this game and now their own game is being used on them and they don't like it. What a shame.

The always say "be careful what you ask for…you may just get it and MORE". I guess the Republican GOP has made an absolute ARSE of themselves. Serves them right.

Stacy, he did in fact say those words as written, but they are completely misrepresenting the context in which they were said… sound familiar? Get it? It IS deceptive advertising.

Btw- All caps doesn't want to make people read your post more. In fact, I usually ignore them personally. Just a bit of friendly advice.

Just like any bully, the Republican Party goes crying home to mommy when the Democrats actually fight them. Especially since it is the Republicans who have consistently lied in their claims about Democrats while all the Dems have to do is use facts and point out the truth, and the Republicans will complain that it is below the belt.

And these are the people whining about Bush lying and misleading them??

Hey if they are going to sue anyone they should sue John Mc Cain he is the one who said those things out from his own two lips give me a break

Go Obama 08 Yes We Can

What "deliberate falsehood"? McCain said he was fine with Americans being in Iraq for 100 years. (He also said he'd be okay with a thousand or a million years) He can call it a peace-keeping mission, or a police action, or a Sunday evening fish-fry, if he wants. He's still in favor of Americans getting killed in Iraq until they aren't getting killed there any more. Then, he wants to stay a while.

Finally, the Dems are showing some backbone. Good on them.

what??? but i was watching the same day when he said it.100 years!!!! not this time mc cain.

The RNC would make there mother out to be a prostitue if it fit there political gain… but this they wanna sue about. And arent the ones always Whinning about the court system anyways.

I think the DNC should pull a Hillary and toss the ENTIRE HOUSE at McCain… RNC always whats to play Dirty… its time DNC found its Testes

Run the dam ad they are throwing the kitchen sink at Barack while he is trying to be the nice guy.

For the good of democratic party, the Committee should fire Dean very soon. He is no good and doesn't know what is he doing.

As of today, at least 44 soldiers have been killed in Iraq during April, 2008. How many soldiers were killed in Germany after WWII officially ended? It's ridiculous for Sen. McCain to hold out "peace-keeping" mission terms when speaking about Iraq. The question has always been: how long are we going to stay there under conditions like those that currently exist? McCain's answer is "indefinitely," just like Bush's. The Democratic Party has every right — even an obligation — to make this clear to the American people.

And so - let's get it on!

The real fight is under way!

Go Obama!

Oh boy…Nothing is worse than a whiny Republican. Their attack ads are notorious and they complain when the Democrats take a page from their play book? Give me a break. I hope the American people see past the Republican party's BS and vote Democratic in November.

Yes, Dean has really brought down the party by standing up to bullying by the RNC. I'm sure all the wingnuts would prefer that he cave to their ridiculous demands, but the fact that he won't is one reason why you are about to see another dem wave election in November (no matter who the presidential nominee is).

What's good for the goose is good for the gander! lol!
Obama 08!

republican and democratic elitists,are grasping for every they can get,trying to stop the obama movement.history is being made and the american people are taking back their country,from the lying politicians of the past.

I find the Republican complaining over this ad pretty funny. It shows the question and the answer. What do they want, the post-answer attempt to spin? What a bunch of conservative crybabies.

Also, Willy, Dean's harmed the Democrats? Um, he took over right after we lost in 2004 (both Congressional races and of course Bush-Kerry), and we immediately proceeded to win both Houses of Congress. As for the Presidency, the Republicans did pick their strongest candidate by swallowing hard and accepting his stances on the environment and immigration, so that one could be tough. Still, the party's in much better shape now than when he took over in 2005.

What's sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander. If the Republicans (and the media) are going to take Rev. Wright's comments completely out of context and try to blow the Ayers relationship (which is hardly a relationship) completely out of proportion, then let's go ahead and quote John McCain at exactly what he did say.

Why won't DNC run the ad? The American people needs to know the truth. We do not need a bush third term.

I say, "what goes around, comes around." Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. The RNC didn't think anything about running the negative ad against Obama's former pastor, than why should the DNC not run the ad against John McCain?

WAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!

TRUTH HURTS

Wow, the RNC is now against taking things out of context in political ads? That's wonderful! That would be a major shift for them from the past 30 years. Oh wait, what's this?

"The GOP officials, though, refused to pledge not to run similar ads against the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee."

Ah, I see. That rule only applies to Democrats apparently.

In that case, game on Chairman Dean. It's about time the Dems had someone who would stand up to the Republican machine. That's why they hate him so much and have tried to destroy him to no avail as he racks up victories around the country (unlike Chairman McAuliffe who I think presided over more losses than any DNC Chair in recent memory).

i'm for clinton,mccain said we would be in iraq for hundred years,not in war,just like germany ,korea to name a few countries we are still in and always will be,get over it people if you're not with military when they need us most,then stay out of their fight,,our people in uniform don't need to hear how their on country is telling them that what they have spent tour after tour trying to help another country have the same freedom we have here in this country,,and most spend theie waking hours complaining about the job they are doing in iraq,,,i've been there done that,if you haven't then please be quiet for five minutes and just talk to the soldiers that have been there,and are still there

Dean needs to resign. He has made a hash of the whole democratic electoral process. Instead of calling for a candidate to resign before the convention — Dean should resign before the convention. So should Kennedy and Pelosi and Kerry and Richardson.

Why should Clinton resign, Obama doesn't have a lock on the election. There is no comparison between Clinton's support and Hucklebee's delegate count. The Democratic party should follow the democratic process to the end — or I will vote Republican.

Chairman Dean, I have said it many times, and will say it again….you are an absolute GODSEND to the Democratic Party!!! We are so very lucky to have your leadership!!!!!!!!!!!!

So when they used the swift boat thing last year is now not appropriate. You like Karl Rove, you used his tactics…now that it is being used against you, you are now complaining.

YOu all know that Republican will use Jerimiah wright against OBAMA( even though he never said or endorsed the comments) you will cry about something your candidate said.

Republican, my advice to win this election is to tell your candidate to..

SHUT UP! and stop talking. That is the only way he can win.

Oh really?

Mccain: WHAT ABOUT "HAMAS WANTING OBAMA TO WIN?"

You dirty liar….

what a hypocrite.

and people say MCCAIN ISNT A WARMONGER? HE IS A WARMONGER!!!!

Is this the same RNC that promotes these slanderous ads against the dems even now as the compains go on? Is this the same RNC that is credited with " the CARL ROVE PLAYBOOK" and started the consception of bias and mis-informed tv and radio ads against its foes???

This is priceless! Also shows the power in mentioning a very unpopular war in the name of the RNC. They just let us know that the war in IRAQI can't be sold to the american public and they know it!

Aren't our troops currently on a peace keeping mission? The actual war part of this Iraq fiasco has been "MISSION ACCOMPLISHED" for a long time now according to our own president. So what's the issue over McCain's statement? He wants our troops to keep doing what they are currently doing for another 100 years…..unless the RNC would like to debate the meaning of "is". Pathetic WHINERS!!! Especially after letting the likes of Rove infest our political discourse.

Beyond that, what a bunch of hypocritical [R] crybabies. They say there are too many lawyers, there is too much litigation….they even run their politicians and raise money on those themes. But who are those furry-legged creatures that are the first to run to the lawyers at any sign of loosing arguments/elections (think 2000)? It takes a real dimwit and a huge dose of lack of self-respect to snuggle up to the [R]s these days!

Let them try. I heard McCain say 100 years, and then he tried to clean up his act. Let all McCain and Bush younger generations go over and fight, and leave the rest of America, the sane ones alone.

I Hope they, GOP. Hang Him Out to Dry!! So Much Mud, he is Incased in. He'll need a Hammer an Chisel, to break out..

The Republicans are the biggest WIMPS and CHILDISH losers in this world!!

HE SAID IT, ITS NOT LIKE WE MADE THE STUFF UP….ITS AN EXACT QUOTE RIGHT OUT OF HIS MOUTH!! LIVE WITH IT, ITS HIS VIEWS, HE LIKES WARS, BUT THE AMERICAN PEOPLE DO NOT, AND ARE TIRED OF LOSING OUR KIDS TO A WAR THAT BUSH LIED US INTO, AND THAT MCCAIN WANTS TO PRO-LONG

END THE BUSH/MCCAIN NIGHTMARE!!!!

DEMOCRATS IN 08!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Of couse you do plan on running the add. Your liberal bent is well known.

Dean has managed to bring down the donkey party., priceless….
