Republicans, not McCain himself, go after Obama with Rev. Wright

John McCain has not wielded the Rev. Jeremiah A. Wright Jr. club over Democratic rival Barack Obama.

But that hasn't stopped some of those supporting the Republican presidential candidate. The Republican party in Pennsylvania, a must-win state for McCain, has gone there with a tough, last-minute TV ad.

"If you think you could ever vote for Barack Obama, consider this: Obama chose as his spiritual leader, this man," the announcer says.
 
Wright is then shown, in the now-famous video, thunderously saying, "Not God bless America, God damn America!"

"He also picked Wright to baptize his children," the announcer says before Wright is shown saying, "The US of KKKA!"

"Barack Obama, he chose as his pastor a man who blamed the US for the 9/11 attacks," the announcer continues. "Does that sound like someone who should be president?
"God damn America!" Wright is shown saying again.

The National Republican Trust political action committee is airing its own version on national cable that questions Obama's judgment and asserts that he never complained about Wright's statements for 20 years -- until he started running for president.

"Barack Obama, too radical, too risky," the announcer concludes.

In April, Obama repudiated Wright over the incendiary comments the pastor made from the pulpit, Obama and eventually left his church in Chicago.
