McCain's unbelieveably misleading new ad-

The script reads; "Iran. Radical Islamic government. Known sponsors of
terrorism. Developing nuclear capabilities to 'generate power' but threatening
to eliminate Israel. "Obama says Iran is a 'tiny' country, 'doesn't pose a
serious threat,'" the ad continues. "Terrorism, destroying Israel, those aren't
'serious threats'? Obama -- dangerously unprepared to be president."

Obama's actual words:

Strong countries and strong Presidents talk to their adversaries. That's
what Kennedy did with Khrushchev. That's what Reagan did with Gorbachev. That's
what Nixon did with Mao. I mean think about it. Iran, Cuba, Venezuela -- these
countries are tiny compared to the Soviet Union. They don't pose a serious
threat to us the way the Soviet Union posed a threat to us. And yet we were
willing to talk to the Soviet Union at the time when they were saying, 'We're
going to wipe you off the planet.'

"And ultimately that direct engagement led to a series of measures that
helped prevent nuclear war, and over time allowed the kind of opening that
brought down the Berlin Wall," Obama continued. "Now, that has to be the kind of
approach that we take. You know, Iran, they spend one-one hundredth of what we
spend on the military. If Iran ever tried to pose a serio us threat to us, they
wouldn't stand a chance. And we should use that position of strength that we
have to be bold enough to go ahead and listen. That doesn't mean we agree with
them on everything. We might not compromise on any issues, but at least we
should find out other areas of potential common interest, and we can reduce some
of the tensions that has caused us so many problems around the world."

Really? This is what we're reduced to? Basically we could do a similar exercise on one of McCain's speeches, given to the National Sheriff's Association this July:

Maybe you have heard the story of an ex-inmate named Don Cox, who received
a sentence of 90 years for being an accomplice to a murder right here in
Indianapolis in 1978. Mr. Cox would likely have spent the rest of his life in
prison, had it not been for the efforts of another man named Tim Streett. In the
short version of a powerful story, Mr. Streett is the son of the victim, and had
even been a witness to his father's murder. He is also a witness to the
possibilities of redemption. After years of bitterness, Mr. Streett sought out
the prisoner. In time, he even became his friend. And it was he who asked
prosecutors to seek parole for Mr. Cox. As Tim Streett explains his change of
heart, "Anger and bitterness -- that can build up. But true forgiveness
says, 'I forgive you, and it's over.'"

Across a prison and jail population of 2.3 million souls, there may be
some who will never find or even seek this path. But the way should be open to
all. This was the spirit of the Second Chance Act of 2007, a law designed to
make the walk out of prison, past the gates and razor wire, a one-way journey.
Ex-convicts need more than a few bucks and a bus ticket out of town. Many will
need job training, a place to live, mentors, family counseling, and much more.
Beyond government, there are churches and community groups all across our
country that stand ready to help even more. And these groups will have the
committed support of my administration.

The ad: "John McCain wants to forgive murderers... With Americans losing their homes, he wants to use hard-working Americans' tax dollars to give ex-felons free homes. He thinks that the families of victims of crime are "angry and bitter" and that they should just forgive the perpetrators. John McCain- in the war on crime, whose side is he on?"
