Citizens United, the conservative group headed by notorious Whitewater scandalmonger David Bossie, is distributing hundreds of thousands of DVDs attacking Barack Obama's associations with Jeremiah Wright and William Ayers in newspapers in Ohio, Nevada, and Florida this week, a group spokesperson confirms to us.
A reader in Ohio reports to us that she received a copy of the DVD, called "Hype: The Obama Effect," in her copy of the Columbus Dispatch this morning.
We checked in with Citizens United spokesperson Will Holley, who confirmed to us that the DVD was distributed in the Dispatch today, and will be disseminated in copies of the Cincinatti Enquirer and Plain Dealer tomorrow, followed by the Palm Beach Post and the Los Vegas Review Journal on Friday.
The DVD, a trailer of which is here (http://www.hypemovie.com/), features media figures fawning over Obama and conservative commentators mocking them over their affection for the Illinois Senator, as well as footage of select Wright rantings. It also discusses Ayers and Tony Rezko, and warns viewers that there's more to know about Obama's shadowy ideology and associations than he has let on.
"He is representative of the ultimate left of the Democratic party," Dick Morris says of Obama in the DVD.
Holley said that "hundreds of thousands" of copies of the DVD would flood these states via these papers by week's end, but he declined to be more specific.
