Update: Anti-Socialist Ad Will Be Pushed By $5-10 Million Ad Buy

He's warning people to avoid socialism.

Peterffy told CNN he expects to spend $5-$10 million on the ad buy, depending on its effectiveness. The spot will run on CNN, CNBC, Bloomberg, and test markets in Ohio, Wisconsin, and possibly Florida.

The one-minute spot, which began airing Wednesday and will continue through Election Day, has no mention of any specific politician or lawmaker. It's simply a plea for an end to what he sees as growing hostility to personal success - and to vote Republican.

"America's wealth comes from the efforts of people striving for success. Take away their incentive with badmouthing success and you take away the wealth that helps us take care of the needy," he says in the commercial.

...

In the new ad[,] Peterffy says [Obama's] policies lead to a "slippery slope."

"It seems like people don't learn from that past," he says. "That's why I'm voting Republican and putting this ad on television."

Oh No You Didn't: I have no words.

Please Mr. Pefferty – get a life and go study social sciences. You obviously have no idea what socialism is.

Guy grew up under socialism in Hungary. Obviously, he needs to study "social sciences" to really know what it means. Like this imbecile.
