Never mind McCain's bizarre false prophet ad, he's now out with the strangest ad of the campaign so far.
The premise of the Spanish-language ad is that Barack Obama failed to mention any Latin American countries during his speech in Berlin. True, but if you read Obama's speech you realize that there's a reason why he didn't mention any Latin American countries: his speech wasn't about Latin America.
The really funny thing about this is that when John McCain went up to Canada to give a speech on NAFTA he didn't mention Mexico at all -- not a single time.
So given that there really isn't any substantive defense to McCain's new ad, what is he trying to do? Well, it's simple: he wants to run video of: (a) Obama saying the names of foreign countries; (b) Obama with rhythmic music playing; and (c) Obama with Spanish language video titles on the screen.
In short, the real purpose of the ad is to continue McCain's "Cuntry First" smear campaign against Barack Obama.
