How else to explain the Campaign 2000 footage? And Cindy's hair.

Also in this clip:
Political hacks Glenn Beck and Ben Stein are frightened that Obama draws large crowds, and liken his appeal to, you guessed it, Hitler and Mussolini. So you're telling me if John McCain could get more than three people to listen to him speak he would pass? Doubtful.
Karl Rove tells Alan Colmes that McCain's distortion of the Anbar Awakening time line is a "nit-nat mistake." He's right. Who cares if there's a contradiction when McCain claims he has the judgment to lead on Iraq and he can't even get the basic facts straight? I sure don't.

... and liken his appeal to, you guessed it, Hitler and Mussolini.
jeez... jon stewart did it too, last night...
rather uneasy about his intentions... weird...
"Win Ben Stein's Mania!"
I fail to see how a dark-skinned man can be a white supremacist like Hitler was, or how Barack can be quite as brutal as Benito was. This comparison of Dems to Hitler is getting old, and needs to stop. Last I checked, the Dems were not tyrannical and seeking to create a unified Europe.
I can't decide which is more disgusting... the FOX News Channel for telling such bold faced lies or the American Conservatives for willingly believing in them.
Zenrage @ 4:
Try "both", this isn't a multiple-choice test, here...
If Fox is really trying to make Mcpain seem younger they also need to do a voice over and get rid of that whistling sound coming from his dentures every time he talks!
katy @ 1:
Hitler's really become cheapened, and few people who support him realize he was going to do to the Russians and Eastern Europeans what we did to the Indians.
Busted! Nice catch.
Karl Rove would know about "small details". Like treason. Lying. Scumbag.
The next time that McCain will gather a lot of people will be his funeral.
And Glenn Beck is a slimeball subhuman scumbag. He uses racist codewords like "Are you scared of Barack Obama?" Look at what he said last night :
BECK: OK. Can I ask you guys? And I mean this not as a pundit or anything else. I mean this sincerely, as one American to another. Does this kind of rhetoric scare you at all? This imagery, this globalist rhetoric, this Marxist rhetoric? Does it creep you out or worry you at all?
Nor do I.
Who cares that he doesn't know much about the economy? Who cares that he doesn't know Iran is a Shiite government--that he doesn't know there's a difference between the Shia and the Sunnis in Iraq's government, and which of the two is actually in charge? Or that there's no "Iraq-Pakistan" border? Or that Czechoslovakia isn't one country? Who cares that he graduated at the near bottom of his Naval Academy class, that he screwed off so much he almost didn't graduate at all? Or that he only came to appreciate 'Murka in his cell at the "Hanoi Hilton"? If Obama had made any of these "gaffes," the election would be all over--Andrea Mitchell and Charlie Gibson would personally see to it.
But who cares? Sooner or later, Obama will miss a jump shot or throw another gutter ball or say "ain't" when he means "isn't" and we won't have to worry about anything but the high price of gas anymore--which we can drill our way out of, anyway. So why worry?
Pass the McNuggets. Hell, never mind, I'll get 'em myself.
And of course Fox News has to make him younger.. why do you think their stock footage of him includes that POW video? It is the only thing to make him look even close to young.
Making McCain seem younger is not so easy. In that video of him from 2000 he still looks 80-something. Did you see him with former prez Bush in the golf cart? He looked older than the 84 year old Bush.
Did you see him in this: John McCain - NOPE?
That just about says it all.
So, which is Obama? I get so confused. Is he a scary black guy, a socialist, a Nazi, a Muslim, a New World Order power monger, a Manchurian Candidate? Which one? sheesh....
I am just waiting for the evangelicals to start quoting Revelations and compare him to the antichrist. Wait for it.
Hitler nothing, I'm waiting for the religious right to outright declare Obama the anti-christ! Think about it, he's a charismatic leader, admired globally, with a middle-eastern focussed foreign policy, there's even a well known picture of him wearing a turban. Certainly has the groundwork laid out. If he gets wounded in an assasination attempt but "miraculously" recovers, they may be on to something. Expect locusts to follow.
OR
Since Obama is a CFR member, the NWO crowd will declare that this is IT! The illuminati are springing the trap at last and one world government will soon be upon us! Flee! Flee for your lives! Grab your families and guns and bottled water and canned goods and flee to the hinterland, to live out a spartan, Deliverence-esque existence while the rest of the globe deteriorates into the tyrannic mire of authoritarian socialism! Hurry before they start microchipping people!!
Okay, the Mickey people are a tad more than upset about Obama's speech yesterday and his dismal showing everywhere, right?
The difference betwixt people for Obama and people for Mickey couldn’t be more contradictory. Of course, the Obama people are setting their hopes on the future and undoing the damage done in the last 8 years. But it seems the Mickey people are metaphorically lying in the bottom of a row boat in the middle of the night, floating on a still as all get-out lake, far, far, away from civilization or the possibility of reason, more than likely sequestered in some bizzaro Amish country (no electricity) being pulled hither and yon by mysterious lake currents (GOP stooges), considering it all too complex to understand, wondering when the person laying next to you (Mickey) in the aforementioned row boat is going to work up a smidgeon of pluck and intelligence, and breach the subject of how he’s going to make these imaginary solutions work, and thank-you-very-much for all your monetary largesse (suckers!) but I don’t need you now to make those “America is going down the shitter blues” go away, and if you elect him you get four more years of this himming and hawing republican bullshit, from people so backwards and yet more jaded than any Silver Lake pinhead could ever be.
Face it: your atypical conservative (one that can count higher than ten) feels alienated just like the main character in Albert Camus’s “The Stranger”, and oddly enough, indifferent, like you knew it was going to happen, something like this. You knew it when you saw Mickey eight years ago, you could pick right up on his vibe and like Poker, he has a tell, a “life is shit” facial body language, yet here you are laying on the bottom of a row boat gently swaying to whatever forces are active in a lake of horseshit out in bumfuck bizzaro Amish country, hundreds of miles from anything even remotely related to “civilization” and the stars are brighter than they would ever have the right to be, and you weren’t as aware of it all as you are now and you certainly haven’t got into that Zen groove thang yet (That would be about 12 years later), and you ask yourself, “Is this what Satori is all about?”, and that feeling of superb nothingness, that peculiar state you’re in when your mind stops asking/demanding questions and simply shuts down.
Okay, so they're bummed about Obama’s speech yesterday, right? Here’s a little soliloquy for them to reflect on when they wake up:
we shadows have offended,
Think but this,--and all is mended,--
That you have but slumber'd here
While these visions did appear.
And this weak and idle theme,
No more yielding but a dream,
Gentles, do not reprehend;
If you pardon, we will mend.
And, as I am an honest Puck,
If we have unearned luck
Now to 'scape the serpent's tongue,
We will make amends ere long;
Else the Puck a liar call:
So, good night unto you all.
Give me your hands, if we be friends,
And Robin shall restore amends.
Fox do something misleading? Hey, it's what they do best. So back when Reagan drew a large crowd in Germany, did it worry the repubs then? Did they think of Hitler then?
If this wasn't the real world it would make a funny movie. There couldn't be more differences in the candidates or their campaigns. Yet, to hear the repubs tell it, Sen. Obama is a young squirt who frightens everyone and draws crowds just as Hitler did. Meanwhile, McCain is this spry gentleman whose only problem is that he makes unimportant verbal mistakes now and then. Since he can't draw a large crowd even if you gave him a pencil and a piece of paper, that's a good thing because it means he isn't a possible tyrant who is attractive to nazis or something.
Fux should show footage of Cindy changing his diaper. That'll really make him look young.
Lyon @ 15:
By the skewered head of John the Baptist! You're absolutely right! Better get my tinfoil hat!
Lyon @ 15:
Some already have...and the NWO order crowd has already begun screaming about him as well.
I think it was CNN today that was interviewing people on the street and asking them what they wanted in a president. One ass hole said he didn't care about the next president's character, all he wanted was cheaper gasoline. He said I will vote for the guy who can lower the price of gas for me.
How's that for an example of an American looking at the big picture? I'm afraid there may be a lot more like him out there.
2000, 2008 what difference does it make. McEmbalmed still looks like someone just dug him up.
The only thing I want to hear from Karl Rove's mouth is a plea of "Guilty" or "Not Guilty" when he's arraigned.
Yellow Elephant Safari @ 18:
That will make me look for a barf bag.
Judgement is the one key fact I would like to see the media compare, look at all these supposedly "nit-nat" mistakes Senator McCain has made, not to say Senator Obama has not made some but comparatively speaking, McCain is too old to be President.
Here CNN reports on polling showing McGoo up.
The barbarians, of course, prefer McGoo, they will do what they believe they need to do to have their way.
Truth, or lack thereof, will not be an impediment.
Obama is their second choice, even if none would admit it, but they always hedge their bets.
They will not be denied.
The troll bus should be pulling in pretty soon. This is about the time they wake up from their nap.
The repubs do not have anything on Sen. Obama so they have to be creative and suggest that he's all kinds of frightening things. They are beginning to look desperately silly.
"So you’re telling me if John McCain could get more than three people to listen to him speak he would pass?".
Silent Patriot: Do you have any idea how many regulars missed lunch yesterday in that Kraut restaurant yesterday because of the crowd McCain drew? There was Marv, and Phil, and Jane (no, wait, Jane had a dentist appointment), and Helen, and Marv, and more than a couple others. In other words, wise guy, way more than three people were on hand to listen to a REAL patriot.
LongTooth @ 28:
One of the local reporters at that restaurant yesterday said it was normally crowded at lunch time, suggesting no one was there solely to see McCain.
Younger than Springtime? Younger than Princess SummerFallWinterSpring? McGeography needs more than a face-lift, he needs a brain-lift...
He looks great! Doesn't look a day over 71!!
Another sickening thing CNN does is they list Opinions in their Featured Stories list on CNN.com. Yesterday they had like 15 stories listed and right in the middle it had a link "Beck: Obama coverage is embarassing". Yesterday afternoon, the Obama speech story jsut disappeared from the home page like it never happened. They must be letting Glen Beck determine what they report on.
mccain making a speech today....totally attacking obama
and telling us how proud he is of himself. i don't mccain
remembers when the "surge" started......i can't even
comment on the fox deal......i'm not wired for their
bullshxt......i'm embarassed for people who watch that type of medium....and it's not a heiarchy thing to me it's
just obvious they are one sided over the top and less than
truthful
MCCAIN GOT 800,000 .... well.... that would count for ALL of his rally efforts!!!
LongTooth @ 28:
Or maybe they were there because they like the smell of old cheese.
Obama has way better symbolic fashion sense then Mussolini or Hitler.. with their black and brown shirts...
I just got my Rainbow shirt and its fabulous!
We are the Swede Denim Secret Police!
We have come for your uncool niece!
Come quietly to the camps...
We are going to sing songs and make smores!
Hail Barrack Hussain Obama!
HAIL!!
To Make Him Look Younger, FOX News Depicts John McCain as a Fetus
Next time McCain is speaking at a town hall meeting with people behind him, watch the people's faces. Most time they have an expression on their face either like they are at a funeral or like they are bored to death. Seldom will you see a lasting smile on anyone's face.
This hearing today on C-span has been very interesting. Should I hold my breath until someone on a news channel reports on this?
Reason # why I thank God I was born north of the 49th parallel. You don't think the rest of the world doesn't have internet? They don't see this? Regardless if it's the Republican party....it's the way US politics is done! It's that simple. Deceit, distrust, fraud...it's all part of American politics and these are your leaders....this is your way of life.
Regardless who wins this cock fight of a Presidental race, there has been so much insight presented by the opposing camps on the other candidate, the world still now knows a lot more shit about your future President. The world will know more about the people who support him and the lengths to which they operate and guide him.
Perhaps you all need to be plugged into 10 solid hours of "Dirty Laundry" by Don Henley to understand what fucking pride and honour is.
Yes you have the power and might....but look where it's got you. Canada, Britian....you want pride....you want people who will stand up to their leaders? Go to those poor countries you have been misinformed as being radical and unrest. Noooooo, these people have the onions to stand up. Maybe one day the USA will have their own picture of Tianenmen Square....wait they do. It's called, the hillside at Kent State...the last day the USA showed courage!
Plain & simple: You can't polish a turd!
I haven't watched the video, but doesn't the link graphic look like McCain is yanking on somebody's pecker?
Don Davis @ 37:
Okay, that's funny but he still looks like an old fetus to me.

This hearing today on CSPAN is a "historic hearing" and will be the beginning of the end of Bush's crime spreee. It's all coming out and the people are becoming informed - and angry. If the MSM doesn't cover this momentous hearing in the history of the flagrant destruction of our democracy, then we need to begin impeachment proceedings against them all.
Mr. Fein just expressed that EVERY MEMBER OF CONGRESS CAN BE IMPEACHED!
Let's hold our representatives whose jobs we fund accountable - or face impeachment for VIOLATION OF THEIR OATH OF OFFICE.
There isn't a plastic surgery technique today that can help McGeyser's pathetic face.

pissed off patricia @ 38:
You will turn blue in the face and pass out. If that happens you will miss out on some of the testimany.
what we are seeing from the repube's is right out of the karl rove playbook....use your opponents strengths against them (as in kerry's military experience). So one of Obama's strengths is attracting crowds McCane can only dream about, what to do. Make speaking in front of large crowds a liability.
I could get beyond McCain's looks if he didn't make those weird faces that draw attention to his looks. He just stands there on the podium and reads from the teleprompter in that sing-song rhythm. Occasionally we get a "my friends" and a repeat of what he just said for emphasis and that's it. He doesn't speak well and he doesn't say much, so it's tough to listen to him.
Ron @ 60:
Testimany?? Is that, like, a whole lot of testimony?
Oh well laadeedaa then... Take it to the bank folks, we're in some real trouble now.. .Why? Because some dude who looks like he might have been the 2nd string bench warming offensive center for his Jr. High football team who somehow has managed to parlay a drug and drinking problem into being a two bit shill for the right on T.V., and some droll looking geek who's main claim to fame is a gameshow and a bit role as Ferris Buehlers teacher, are scared... Ohh ohh, poor widdle babies... The big bad black dudes gonna take their marbles... And I should give a damn what they think or feel why again???? Then there's KKKKarl Roves bit of wisdom about 'nit-nat' mistakes on the part of Mcfebblemind... Yea, sure, well you should know Karl, there's been a lot of that nit-nat mistake shit on you motherfuckers watch.... I don't know about anyone else, but I'm kinda fucking tired of them... And your bonehead old man candidate looks to promise nothing if not more of those same tiredassed ni-nat mistakes you so easily dismiss... BTW, I guess Bill Clinton gettin a little way back when didn't qualify as a nit-nat ehh???? Here's a short closing for you Karl... FUCK OFF!!!! JD

It's no wonder Fearmongering works so well with these people; Scared Shitless is their natural state of being.
Why is Rove on TV? Shouldn't he be shackled in a holding cell in the basement of the capitol awaiting his forced appearance before congress?

The comparison of anything to Hitler and the Nazis needs to stop. It's getting beyond ridiculous. Especially from Ben Stein who just made an entire movie where he basically equates evolutionary scientists to Nazis. Nazi comparisons have become purely emotional and intellectually meaningless. If there is something to criticize a person for, just come out and make the criticism.

in reality nothing has happened. Harry and Nancy must go!

They can't come out and say he is a frightening black man, so they use other words that connote fear. That's all they have is to try to make Obama seem frightening. It's bs but it's what they have turned to.
Fanon @ 79:
I think Obama will be in England tomorrow. I don't know what "catchy" thing they will do with that.
What is Ben Stein going to run for office? He used to be rational, now the ID disasterous film and then this. He is blending in with the rest of the below average brain wingnuts.
AndrewK @ 77:
Actually it needs a societal adjustment scale.
It has to be viewed by the historical yard stick.. that our "heros" and "monsters" of history have left behind.
When you make a WEAK comparative your argument is invalid and you are rendered worthless to listen to.... even if you are jewish.
To call BHO Hitler'esque because he can talk his ass off and motivate people, and tons of people come out to see him is one thing.
Admit it.. Hitler could fill a room, and motivate people... In that historical benchmark.. Barrack Obama is up to that point... even if it is inappropriate to try to stretch that observation any where beyond that point.
To try to measure him in relation to the other deeds Hitler achieved is totally absurd and renders the observer making such a point into the idiot box.
And while I do look forward to Obamas car, and his new highway system..
I tend to think that he is not going to be responsible for millions of deaths, wars of aggresion and other assorted crimes against humanity like his predecessor, and far more VIABLE Hitler comparason ..
Bush.
Come on folks. You have to admit, his smile was a little more "chipper" and he didn't have his walker in this photo.
Give the old coot a break, will ya?
Political hacks Glenn Beck and Ben Stein are frightened that Obama draws large crowds, and liken his appeal to, you guessed it, Hitler and Mussolini.
Jealousy can be such an ugly thing.
Moondancer@85. Stein used to be normal, But I think the righties either warped his mind or slipped him some Kool-aid. It's a shame. I used to find him entertaining, now he is merely sad.
Waitaminit...
Am I getting flipped off in that screen-cap?
Roves answer was pretty much on message. Republicans have made a career out not remembering timelines. In fact, it's literally been their GET OUT OF JAIL FREE card for the last 30 years. In fact, the RNC used to have a picture of Abraham Lincoln above their front door, but they substituted a picture of Alois Alzheimer as their greatest benefactor in 1980, and it's been there ever since.
They may fool folks into thinking McCain is "younger," but they can't make him any less an idiot Republican.
So which is worse: FoxNews using 2000 Campaign footage of McCain or the US media picking up t 200,000 as the number of people in the crowd in Berlin and running with it without question when it was first reported as 20,000, then upend to 100,000 and only became 200,000 after Obama finished his speech and his campaign could get to people to float that number?
Anyone who watches ABC, NBC, CBS, Foxnews, CNN and MSNBC and can't see that 5 of these networks are totally in the tank for Obama - just ain't being truthful with themselves. The Media choose McCain for the Republicans (because he was the most liberal) and the media choose Obama for the Democrats. The media is now trying to choose Obama as president. How many of you guppies are going to play along and allow the media to make your vote for you?
Ok...i have to go soon.
Hope all o' yas have a good weekend.
And rduke...peace?
katablog @ 93:
"Me, me, me", but it is NOT the MSM who is going to make me vote for Obama. It is
those lying liars and ignorant and misinformed people(like those who watch and believe
Faux Noise) who have given me the motavation and reason to vote for Obama
It's quite simple, katablog...
...the media is simply reporting what they see: a long-time-in-coming referendum on Bushco's nearly 8 years of treachery and shenanigans.
But given your unverifiable status as a "non-guppy," I'll give you the benefit of the doubt you see the inevitability of Obama's victory.
Ben Stein has always been a wingnut. He was a speech writer for Nixon and Ford. I think we are seeing him now more as a right-wingnut-pundit, 1. to either promote is book or 2. to make money on the ringnut-pundit circut. He is only in it for the money, which he must be desperate for because what he is doing now is gonna kill any kinda of career he had left.
Fox News is the Ministry of Truth.
Hahahahaha!
Oh, and Ben Stein is a dip shit. Does he mean that Obama is more of a fascist than W?
Hahahahaha! Hell, you can't make this stuff up. It's just too funny!
I think that the media is desperate. They loved it when Hillary was in the race. They like a close race. They need a close race to get people glued to the set. When people are glued to the set they can charge more for commercials. The reason that CBS edited out McCains error in the history of the surge and haven't nailed him about his Pakistan border gaffe is because it is a campaign killer for McCain. The media is covering up or glossing over McCains inadequacies and knit-picking Obamas strategy because Obama is kicking butt and McCain is sucking air. If Obama appeared to be pulling ahead of McCain in the presidential race, (as he is actually doing) and McCain slips to double digits behind in the poles, (which if the election was held today it wouldn't surprise me that there is how far back McCain would be) then people would stop watching the news and go back to what ever it is they do in the summer when it is not an election year. Then, the network news stations would loose money. And lord knows that is the greatest sin that a corporation can do, is to loose money.
Come on, McCain needs all the help he can get, he's a very desperate candidate! BTW, "The surge is working" reminds me of another Republican catchphrase from a few years back: Do you remember this one?
MISSION ACCOMPLISHED ! ! ! ! !!!!!!!!!!!!
katablog @ 84:
Quite the opposite; I chose Obama when it became clear that the media, the ruling elite and the entire right wing were scared shitless of him. When the primary race got hot and FOX, CNN & Co. went in the tank for Hillary, I knew Obama was the right choice. The more asshats like Beck and Rove tell me to "Be Afraid" of Barack Obama, the more excited I am to vote for him.
Note: People might take your Paultard-esque "OMG! ONOZ! They're All Out To Get Us!" cynicism more seriously if you knew the difference between "choose" and "chose". Until you perfect your tenses, please return to your bunker and get back to stockpiling your canned food and ammo - the rest of us have a nation to fix.
katablog @ 84:
Which is worse? Is that a rhetorical question?
(Actually, if any of the media outlets reported that crowd in Berlin as 10 000, you could conclude that they were totally in the tank for McCain. If you look at the wide shots of that crowd, do a head count of the number you see close to the camera, and multiply it by the distance the crowd extends, you can guestimate it's at least in the ballpark of 100 000. In fact--literally in the ballpark. Use a 60K baseball stadium crowd for a mental comparison.)
But I agree, the MSM is clearly in the tank for Obama, but it's NOT because they are liberal. Here's the half truth that the conservatives are always spinning: most reporters are liberal by nature, therefore the media has a liberal bias, and reports news with a liberal slant. True, true, and false. Most reporters are liberal by nature, are sensitive to the criticism that they might have a liberal bias, and bend over backwards to avoid the criticism that's been carefully orchestrated by the conservative movement. Things are starting to turn around again, due to the left applying the same kind of pressure on them that used to be the exclusive of the right. Media Matters for America was designed to do JUST THAT. Counterbalance the formerly unchallenged pressure from the right on the media. But for awhile there (say 1990-2004) the mainstream media were at the point of putting on two or three conservative talking heads for every one liberal just to prove that they're NOT reporting with a liberal bias. Yes they're liberal, but report with a conservative bias because they also happen to be a bunch of easily manipulated chickens#!ts.
The typical press reporter is also a herd-following pack animal who felt out of place in high school, and used to follow the alpha male around to be popular and accepted. They're still doing that now. They flock to whomever they think is popular. They flocked to Bush in 2000 when they thought he was the alpha male, they did the same thing in 2004, and now that Obama appears to be the cool kid at school, they want to be seen fawning over him. It has nothing to do with their political bias. It's just their chimpanzee brain kicking in. Is having a press corps that's driven by unresolved adolescent issues better than having a press corps that's driven by political biases? *pulls hair out!* I DON'T KNOW! <:(
Unfortunately, due to the rules set forth by AIPAC and ADL, it is perfectly fine for a person of Jewish heritage to compare anyone they so choose to Hitler, or to freely speak of the Holocaust in whatever terms they choose.
Likewise, it is illegal for anyone NOT of Jewish heritage to compare ANYONE to Hitler or else speak of the Holocaust in ANY terms whatsoever.
Don't like those rules? Then you are an ANTI-SEMITE!

Beckenstein? Does anyone without a plate in their head actually listen to crap?

You too.

Last time I checked, Obama has not invaded a foreign country under false pretenses, or exterminated 6 million Jews.
Wow, they're really grasping at straws!
You know, the more I look at this, the more I feel sorry for Fox and their former greatness. They used to have GUSTO!
Isn't this the fake news outlet that turned Mark Foley into a Democrat,photoshopped Jacques Steinberg into a Norse troll, sent Steve Doocy's son out as a stooge in an audience to ask McCain softball questions, cut the Cavuto banner off the screen to give the audience a better view of a reporters boobs, and (most impressive of all) ran a tape of Bill Jefferson getting frog-marched out of the Ethics Committee chamber while telling their dimbulb audience that it was John Conyers? And now THIS is suddenly the best they can do???
That doesn't even look much different than he does now! What was the point? To prove that he looked just as old and wrinkly in 2000?
HAPPENING NOW it says!
Fox is not trying to make McCain look younger. McCain2000.com is the actual website for his campaign. It's the only domain they could use.
Mr. Internet forgot to register McCain2008.com and a cybersquatter got it first.
Sucker.
