Moveon's "Fire Charlie Black Ad" Goes National

We previously showed you the clip of the web ad. The national cable ad is similar. Here is part of the release which explains all:

New TV Ad Exposes McCain's Lobbyist Ties,

Calls For McCain to Fire Chief Advisor Charlie Black

A new national television ad calls on John McCain to fire his chief campaign advisor, lobbyist Charlie Black. The MoveOn.org Political Action ad, which will start running tomorrow, comes on the heels of five McCain staff resignations in the past two weeks due to past lobbying ties to foreign governments and interests, and conflicts of interest.

The television ad follows a similar Web video and will air nationally on cable. The ad is based on a video, viewable here: http://pol.moveon.org/charlieblack/video.html.

Charlie Black, one of John McCain's top advisers, ran the lobbying firm BKSH & Associates, which represented brutal dictators like Ferdinand Marcos in the Philippines and Mobutu Sese Seko in Zaire and rebel leader Jonas Savimbi in Angola. Black also profited off the war in Iraq by representing firms such as Blackwater and Iraqi fraudster Ahmed Chalabi. Working with Chalabi, Black's firm helped promote the lie, later repeated by the Bush Administration, that the Hussein regime possessed weapons of mass destruction.
