MTV's First Political Advertisement -- 'Both Ways Barack' From Conservative Let Freedom Ring

Conservative group reaches out to younger voters with 'Both Ways Barack' ad.

There have been a lot of firsts in the 27-year history of MTV, but beginning Wednesday night (July 23), the channel will begin airing something it never has before: a political advertisement. "Both Ways Barack," the attack ad from conservative group Let Freedom Ring, takes aim at presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama for what it calls a history of trying to take opposing positions on the same issue.

Here is the script of the ad which can be seen at Both Ways Barack:

People are saying that Senator Obama’s recent changes of position have made him a flip-flopper.
He’s not!
Flip-floppers only hold one position at a time.
Senator Obama is different: he holds two positions at the same time.
Both ways on banning handguns.
Both ways on public campaign financing.
And now, both ways on withdrawing from Iraq.
He’s ‘Both Ways Barack.’ Worse than a flip-flopper!
