:60 ad from Sept. 20, 2012.

Muslim Brotherhood rally for the new Egyptian president, Mohamed Morsi.
[audio of rally speaker]
Female Announcer:
They want to conquer Israel and renew long-severed ties with Iran, a
country building nuclear weapons to slaughter the Israeli people.
"Death to Israel."
The Muslim Brotherhood's top leaders even write about taking over
America.
TEXT: destroying the Western
civilization from within
President Obama, you invited the Muslim Brotherhood to the White
House? Legitimising a group that wants to undermine America and
destroy Israel.
You sent them $1.5 billion of our taxpayer dollars?
TEXT: "Despite concerns, U.S. to give
Egypt $1.5B" -CBS News, 03/23/12
Why Mr. President, why?
Notes: An article on Foreign Policy magazine's blog
describes this ad as "highly misleading," noting that "the spot
doesn't mention that the speaker is the Egyptian cleric Safwat Higazi,
not Morsy."
