A new web video from American Crossroads, the Karl Rove-affiliated super PAC, attacks President Obama for what it says is a campaign based on fear. The video juxtaposes Obama calling for an end to divisive politics during his 2008 campaign with recent clips of pundits and politicians commenting on negative ads the Obama campaign has released against Mitt Romney. At the end of the video, the iconic Shepard Fairey poster of Obama, in which the “Hope” adorns the bottom, is altered to say “Fear,” with the word licked by flames. Crossroads’s website allows viewers to share the “Obama Fear Poster” on Facebook.
