MTV’s first political advertisement, purchased by conservative group Let Freedom Ring, slams presidential candidate Barack Obama, calling him “Both Ways Barack” and “worse than a flip-flopper,” the New York Post reported. The ad says Obama has taken opposing positions on gun control, Iraq and campaign financing, the newspaper says.

No one has flipped flop on more critical issues than John McCain. Starting with the Bush tax cuts (too geared to the rich he once said)-now he’s for them just to curry favor with the extremists in the Republican Party; Iraq (if the Iraqis tell us to leave we should; now McCain says Prime Minister Maliki was only saying he wants a timetable for US troop withdrawel for internal political reasons); McCain used to be unequivocally against Americans using torture (now McCain splits hairs-CIA can torture but not other US Gov’t personnel-military, etc.)-there’s plenty more examples
