CHICAGO—With campaign rhetoric becoming increasingly heated and both
presidential nominees releasing more attack ads, a new 30-second spot
from the Obama campaign this week accuses his opponent Mitt Romney of
committing the 1996 murder of 6-year-old beauty pageant queen JonBenét
Ramsey.
Titled “He Did It,” the advertisement asks if anyone can truly
remember where Romney was the night of the child’s murder, and whether
the U.S. populace wants a president capable of strangling a little
girl and dumping her body in her parents’ basement.
President Obama appears at the end of the advertisement to approve the
message.
“I think this is a fair ad, and I think Mitt Romney owes an
explanation to the American people as to why he murdered JonBenét
Ramsey,” said Obama campaign manager Jim Messina, who called the
commercial’s black-and-white reenactment of Mitt Romney carrying a
kicking and screaming child to her death “accurate.” “Ultimately,
voters need to know who they’re getting with Mitt Romney: a job- and
child-killing businessman who is so deceitful he won’t release his tax
returns or admit to a senseless murder that shook the nation to its
core.”
Scheduled to run in multiple swing states, with significant airtime in
Ramsey’s home state of Colorado, the ad criticizes Romney not just for
killing the prepubescent girl, but for going to extreme lengths to
cover it up. It also states that Mitt Romney paid former school
teacher John Mark Karr to falsely come forward as the murderer, and
accuses the former Massachusetts governor of being a sex offender.
Over a silhouette of Romney walking away from the Ramsey mansion—blood
dripping from his hands—the commercial’s narrator asks, “If Mitt
Romney kept the murder of JonBenét a secret from the American people,
what else is he hiding?”
Moreover, at the end of the spot a smiling Romney is seen at a
campaign event saying, “I killed her, and I had a good time.” Sources
from the Romney campaign were quick to announce that the audio and
video had been cobbled together from different statements he made
during that particular rally.
“Personally, if I killed JonBenét Ramsey, I would have come clean and
told the American people that on day one,” Obama’s communication
director David Axelrod said on Sunday’s installment of Meet The Press.
“But I think that’s a key difference between Barack Obama and Mitt
Romney. Barack Obama never murdered a child, and Mitt Romney did.”
According to sources at Obama’s Chicago headquarters, the “He Did It”
commercial is just the first in a new series of attack ads that
accuses Romney of drowning actress Natalie Wood in 1981, convincing
cult leader David Koresh to burn down the Branch Davidian ranch in
Waco, TX, and causing the Challenger disaster.
“I think these ads will end up being very effective,” former Bill
Clinton campaign strategist Dick Morris said. “If you are an undecided
voter and you are constantly seeing images of Mitt Romney standing
over a child’s lifeless body, or, as in the case of the ‘Zodiac’ spot,
shooting two high schoolers at point blank range on their first date,
that’s a pretty persuasive image right there.”
Added Morris, “This ad very effectively reminds us that no child
murderer has ever been elected into the White House.”
Though the Obama campaign has denied it, many Beltway observers have
said the advertisements are retaliation for the Romney camp’s highly
controversial ad, “Boom,” which accuses the president of being the
fertilizer bomb that destroyed an Oklahoma City federal building in
1995.

If you voted for Obama in '08, you were stupid. If you vote for him
again, your the biggest idiot on earth and should be executed by a
tribunal of your peers.
