Climate activists replace Iran president with Palin in ads - The Hill's E2-Wire

Sarah Palin is replacing Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad as the face of a media campaign pushing the Senate to enact sweeping climate change legislation.

The former Alaska governor and 2008 Republican vice presidential nominee is part of a three-stage advertising campaign sponsored by the American Values Network that seeks to sway momentum inside the Beltway. Palin's face, along with the "drill baby drill" mantra and an image of an oil-soaked bird, will be used on bus advertisements within the Beltway as well as in an online campaign. “It’s time for a smarter approach,” the banner proclaims, calling for support of clean energy and climate policies

The ads from the American Values Network,a faith-based group that boasts former Democratic National Committee Chairman Don Fowler and former Maryland Lt. Gov. Kathleen Kennedy Townsend as among its advisers, begin running Tuesday.

This follows a similar bus and online campaign in mid-May featuring Ahmadinejad. “Iran makes a killing every day we wait,” that ad states, with the word “killing” emphasized and a pile of money laying in front of a barrel of oil. It updated an initial ad in the campaign using the same words accompanying a distorted oil-drenched BP corporate logo and a dead bird.

The ads will run on about 100 D.C. buses for at least a month, said American Values Network Executive Director Eric Sapp. The campaign is “well into the six-figure range,” he added.

Groups are ramping up their advertising during this week-long congressional break as the Senate is inching closer to debate this month on recommendations to address the Gulf oil spill that may be accompanied by broader energy production and carbon pricing strategies.

The Democratic National Committee has a new 30-second ad on cable outlets referencing Rep. Joe Barton (R-Texas) and his infamous apology to BP executives at a recent House Energy and Commerce Committee hearing.

The American Petroleum Institute, meanwhile, starting today will run television ads in 10 states — including several swing states — that allege the plans would harm the economy and cost jobs.
President Barack Obama and several Democrats have floated plans to end various incentives, such as write-offs for drilling costs and the industry’s ability to claim a lucrative manufacturing tax break.
