Conservative PAC Ad Brings Together The Best-Of Anti-Obama Memes .

The National Republican Trust PAC has launched a 25-minute video in various key states attacking President Barack Obama and Democrats in Intercourse and linking them to extremist groups and opinions. The video brings up ACORN and the New Black Panther Party - and not-so-subtlety implies Obama is a Muslim, though the group behind the picture says that is not the intention.

It is running heavy in North Carolina, Iowa, Kentucky, Delaware, Alaska, and Florida, Scott Wheeler, executive director of the National Republican Trust PAC, told TPMMuckraker. It began running on tv stations last week but has been online for nearly two weeks, he said.

The ad features Muslim chanting layered over clips of Obama speaking about Islam. "Instead of standing up for America, he bowed to the Power of Saudi Arabia," the picture says. But Wheeler said that ad isn't intended to imply Obama is a Muslim.

"Well he was in the Middle East, and that's the address to prayer baseline music," Wheeler said. "Look what the chairman has said. he's advocated negotiating with Hamas, a terrorist group."

"I am not in anyway trying to suggest he's a Muslim, I believe he's an atheist myself," Wheeler said. "The sole thing the revolutionary left has in green with Islam is their common hatred of America."

Also targeted in the ad was the Justice Department's decision in the voter intimidation case against members of the New Black Panther Party. It appears to try to link Obama to the extremist fringe group, the New Black Panther Party.

After a voiceover that says "During the 2008 campaign, President Obama pretended to become his rear on some extremists from his past," the ad cuts to tv from a National Geographic documentary showing a member of the New Black Panther Party shouting 'You want freedom? You're gonna have to defeat some crackers! You gonna have to defeat some of those babies!"

The video calls the civil voter intimidation case against members of the New Black Panther Party a "prosecution" and seemingly implies that Obama was connected with the organization. Wheeler said it was a dual standard for the media not to concentrate on the Justice Department's decision in that case.

"We make the national media looking in crowds of hundreds of thousands of people trying to see one that they can try to set up as dangerous among the Tea Partiers, and here you've got guys at a polling place who are visibly trying to restrain people, and so there's video of them saying if you want freedom you've got to kill crackers, you've got to kill cracker babies," Wheeler said. "You would mean the media would be all concluded that."

"The identical same left-wing media - who for years have told us how virtuous it is to resist when it's left wing protestors who don't pay for the system - finally the masses who have been paying for the roads all these days come out and protest on the roads they brought and they're being viciously savaged by the media day in and day out," Wheeler said. "Then here you have Obama supporters out threatening and talk about killing people and it's a non-story? You're kidding me, right?"

Obama staffers Anita Dunn, Kevin Jennings, Carol Browner, and Cass Sunstein are also targeted in the ad, which also links Obama to "the radical group ACORN."

A site for the National Republican Trust PAC calls it "the nation's third largest PAC dedicated to preserving and promoting limited government, free initiative and traditional American values."
