McCain, RNC Attack Ads Scrape The Bottom Of The Barrel
By Logan Murphy Tuesday Jul 29, 2008 3:00pm
The above attack ad "What An Obama Ad Might Look Like In Berlin" (warning, this video is awful) from the RNC is, as C&L contributer Jamie put it -- sick. The ad is billed as a parody, but as with pretty much every attempt by conservatives to be funny, it falls flat. Listen for the Marxist reference and the dude wearing the Che t-shirt. Yeah, Commies and Marxists just love them some Obama...
The McCain campaign is looking increasingly desperate with each attack ad has chosen to take a tried and true approach to their latest ad -- veiled racism. Referring to Barack Obama as the "biggest celebrity in the world," McCain's ad conveniently and quite overtly slides footage of Britney Spears and Paris Hilton into the mix. And poor Cindy McCain thought her husband was going to run a clean, positive campaign. More from Josh Marshall:
I note with interest today, John McCain's new tactic of associating Barack Obama with oversexed and/or promiscuous young white women. (See today's new ad and this from yesterday.) Presumably, a la Harold Ford 2006, this will be one of those strategies that will be a matter of deep dispute during the campaign and later treated as transparent and obvious once the campaign is concluded. Read on...
Upon further review, Britney might not have been the best celeb choice for the ad as she loves George Bush almost as much as John McCain does.

And McCain wants to lead the world?!?! The big powerful GOP is so afraid of our world neighbors, and more afraid that Obama might actually be POPULAR with them.
Why don't they just add a soundtrack of a baby crying and screaming..."Mommmmy, the Europeans are gonna get me!!"
George W. Bush + Bob Dole = John McCain
Oh...annnnd....MCFRIIIIIIIIST!
God that ad is awesome. It will induce seizures no doubt.
Clearly Obama == Love Parade.

The only tall thin blonde heiress of vast personal fortunes with a litany of ethical problems (from past drug abuse to undisclosed tax returns) who is of any relevance whatsoever in this contest: Cindy McCain
Boy, am I glad that we aren't celebrating any kind of centennial anniversary.
Our allies would send us a huge steaming pile of shit in the shape of Bush and McCain hugging.
I take exception to the title of this thread. We havent seen the "bottom of the barrel" as far as the scumbag Neo/Zionist/GOPers are concerned. Perhaps " John MC Cain scrapes the middle of the bottom of the barrel with unknown capacity" would have been clearer.Just a suggestion.
i was just seeing the video at msnbc being played on morning joe. horrible, and on top of that the favorite liberal joe takes obama's quote out of context. disgusting
McCain, Britney and Paris Hilton: The Naked Truth
Just in case you wonder who associates themselves with John McBush McSame McCain politics. Not just Britney but Paris too.
Okay, just watched ad #2.
Sometimes I think that someone in the McCain ad team is a closet Obama fan.
WHY THE HELL would they show cheering crowds, chants of "Obama" and end with a nice image of Obama? Why did their last ad criticizing him for not visiting troops show him sinking a 3-point shot with a bunch of troops?
Why does the first ad show people talking about how great he is (even if it's meant to be parody and play to stereotypes.. you're still showing people saying his "yes we can" slogan)
Are they trying to attack his strength (popularity) by putting it front and center? If so, it's gonna backfire. Just ask Leslie Stahl about her blistering portrait of Reagan in the 80s. Famously, her 5 minute piece was about the lack of substance in Reagan's appearances, but the images that appeared along with her voice-over was Reagan-On-Horse, Reagan-With-Troops, Reagan-With-Balloons, Reagan-With-Sunset. She received a call from Republican strategist Michael Deaver not to complain, but to THANK HER for the free five minutes of positive Reagan imagery.
If these ads are running, I think Obama owes McCain a big thank you too.
B
Whenever I see images of Paris Hilton I think of Cindy McCain.
If you've seen ONE blonde bimbo, you've seen them all.
Ummm...Isn't the President of the USA, Leader of the Free World(tm), *supposed* to be the biggest celebrity in the world?
Frankly comrades I'll take the biggest celebrity over the biggest embarrassment any day.
Oh, and until Obama gets him an Escalade wif 4 DVD players he'll never be the *biggest* sleb of anywhere...
As I saw on another post, McCrabby has really jumped the shark!
Whoa...John of No4 got it right...
"The only tall thin blonde heiress of vast personal fortunes with a litany of ethical problems (from past drug abuse to undisclosed tax returns) who is of any relevance whatsoever in this contest: Cindy McCain"
The ads are pathetic and yes, desperate...and yes, there is veiled rascism...if he is this desperate NOW, the end of July and this is how low the ads have scrapped the barrel...I cringe to think how low he and the RNC will go..
You Dimwits! "Does he have the ability to lead" ??!!??!!??!! Where have you pinheads been for the last 7 years of executive stupidity? Desperate measures for desperate people. Pathetic.
These people really are paranoid !
McSame running attack ads which he said he'd never do ...
Hannity repeating talking points 20-30 times per hour instead of 10-20 times....
Rush hyperventilating after every word as opposed to every sentence...
They act like they've already LOST, and yet they bitch because Obama acts like he's already won.
If it all weren't so pathetic, it would be sad.
The first ad looks like a 2nd grade A/V class put it together - but, actually, I think that's an insult to some very creative 2nd grade A/V'ers I've seen.
The second ad is simply dumb. Obama supports new taxes on electricity?
AND he supports the ban on offshore-drilling,which in turn, forces us to buy foreign oil?
LMAO. Riiiiiight.
First, the "taxing electricity" comment I have never heard, so who knows how that is being taken out of context. Second, the off-shore oil - as has been mentioned repeatedly, but evidently not enough - won't help us for a decade as it relates to dependency on foreign oil or high gas prices.
Not to mention the oil companies will sell it to the highest bidder (Europe/Asia) before it sells it for lower in the U.S. McShame happens to get his recurring case of Alzheimers when that fact is brought up. Oh, and the fact that it will take a decade to see any of that oil.
What would REALLY help us cut our dependency on oil is the switch to electric cars and sugar cane fuels, thus releasing farmland for the re-emergence of corn crops to bring down food prices.
Of course, McSame isn't for that - which means he's for more oil and high prices.
Well, we all know what desperation looks like. Jebus, that was pathetic, even by reich-wing standards. Did a 9 year make that?
This is a joke, yes? Come on, this is a joke! Srsly!
I have to think these ads only help Obama. They are blatant attacks and say nothing positive about McCain. When you got nothin to offer in the conversation, you end up with crap like this.
Olbermann: White House sent me talking points too, ‘I still have them.’»
Oops
I think just about any Jr. High kid could could come up with better campaign ads than these. The RNC one looks cheap and just plain stupid. What is the message in each of them? I haven't a clue. If there is a message there the stupidity of the ad steps all over it. A campaign ad can't express a message it is wasted money.
They showed the RNC ad this morning on Morning Joe. When it was over my husband said, "What the fu*k was that, a cartoon?
If this is all they've got then it's time to pull the curtain on McGrumpy. The fat lady is starting her second verse already.
Holy Sh*t...This is the best that the RNC has to offer? Talk about a desperate bunch of dopes! And McBush will try and wash his hands of having any tie to this piece of crap.
The McBush Campaign is going down in flames.
My question is will the media make McCain/RNC answer to these pathetic ads? We know all the McCain/RNC has left is to smear when they feel they are losing. These ads though are so ridiculous I think it makes the source look worse then the target.
Well, before we dismiss the stupidity of this Ad, and the viciousness/untruthfulness of preceding ones,
there's apparently evidence that no matter what the McCain camp alleges, there will be journalists to
give support to the charges. Check out this Reuters piece, and if you really want to get ill, click on the piece from Dana Millbank via the Washington Post link:
http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20080730/pl_nm/usa_politics_mccain_dc_1
The "celebrity" ad is a lot of things (asinine, facile, bereft of truth), but I wouldn't say it was racist. I get where you're all coming from, but Hilton and Spears are your archetypal vapid celebrities. The most stupid thing about this, it seems to me, is opening an attack ad with scenes of your opponent facing a large, adoring crowd, and exhibiting nothing if not the stature of a man ready to lead...
Are we really surprised that such sleeze comes from the republican party or members who just love that Nazi style properganda? I actually expect worse to be honest. There is already enough anti obama statements going on thru the emails etc via the net.
Anyways,, I tend to dismiss this type of crap as pure desperation on the repigs side. Sadly there are some ppl out there , that will believe anything .
Hiya folks and check out my blog if ya bored and want to see funny videos etc. Sorry I havent been around as much , thanks again C&L For a kick ass blog too !!
Best regards,
All of this from the people that voted in the worst actor, (Reagan) and the worst person, (Bush). They wanted to change the law so that Anold could run. WTF?
One ugly step for McSame, one giant leap toward the n-word. I used to think they'd wait until after the convention, when both are official, but hey, they just may not make it that long
What are you talking about, that German video is hilarious! I'm taking it as a spoof with nothing particularly positive or negative about it, but I can't believe you're gonna say its not funny!
If the tables were turned and Senator Obama's campaign were putting out these ads I would be embarrassed as hell that I had supported him.
Senator Obama is approaching this from an adult's point of view. Senator McCain is approaching this from a twelve year old point of view.
Ever hear of the "Lowest common denominator."
Frequently, it is two, as in the number of grandparents of the people for whom these ads are targeted.
They are not worried about turning of people who "get" the point, if they can get the "point" to the people they want.
Nobody ever lost an election in the USofA bu OVERESTIMATING the appeal of naked fear, racism, and prejudice.
I think the RNC should be looking to the liberal video producers that made this for them to get their money back. :^)
Or maybe the RNC was trying to parody itself, in which case I salute them.
Carve another chunk of tissue out of his face and make another ad with it.
One way or another, it's a cancer.
I think Grandpa stole Johnny2Bad, Dennis, LAC, and Swampfox's talking points in those attack ads.
Another irony is that Britney Spears and Paris Hilton are likely republicans. Britney and her mother (who you'll recall was going to write a book about raising children until her other daughter got knocked up at 15) used to make quite a bit of her chastity vow, until Britney got pregnant. Hilton comes from a long line of republicans.
McCain's next ad should feature Mary Carey, the porn actress.
I'm surprised Gramps knew of, let alone approved Britney.
Seems like Michael Jackson would have been the better choice. C'mon, he's got everything! Alleged child molester! Likes hanging around with white women (well, if you count Brooke Shields)! Half black, half white! The possibilities are endless!
They really do have the second team working on this campaign. Money troubles John?
It would be funny if the majority of people watching these adds didn't believe it. Sadly the mccain campaign is exploiting the fact that so many Americans don't have any critical thinking skills. All I know is that if mccain wins, it is evidence we can make tons of money selling bridges.
Discussion overheard when this ad was being planned.
I know what to do. Let's make an ad about the fact that what Obama wants to do is unpopular. Okay let's begin by showing hundreds of thousands of people clapping and cheering for him. Let's even say he's the most famous person in the world. Then right at the end we'll say he'll raise taxes and is against offshore drilling. Damn! That would be a totally awesome ad. Now, what's on MTV?
That's actually pretty impressive. You just KNOW they combed through every single piece of interview footage from the Berlin stop, desperately looking for SOME kind of whack job who would support Obama with one breath and either Nazis or communists with the next, and THAT WAS ALL THEY COULD FIND? One person wearing a Che Guevara T-shirt, and another person saying 'EVEN' marxists are supporting Obama. (Heck, even a few Republicans are supporting him, and they're more 'extreme' than marxists.) And they couldn't even get THOSE two sound bites without having to take the remark about hoping that Obama makes American 'less superficial.' You know they're in a bad way when it's physically impossible to splice together any negative images without also being stuck with at least twice as many positive images in the same shots.
And as for the dog whistle politics of juxtaposing Obama into a subliminal blond bimbo sandwich, that's definitely a sign of being so desperate that they even have to worry about holding on to the racist element of their base. As if any of the people who'd pick up on that would have voted for him anyway. They're actually so desperate that they're worried the racists will STAY HOME on election day? The possibility of a black president in the Oval Office isn't enough to get the KKK out in force on election day voting for the Republican, so they have to throw them some MORE red meat by inferring that he'll be getting blowjobs from white interns while he's in there! AMAZING!
Wouldn't it be poetic justice if the racist nutjobs stayed home on election day because they don't want to choose between a black man and a man who fathered an illegitimate black daughter? Hahah! Thank you Karl, maybe you're not such a bad guy after all.
These are so horrendously stupid and low-life productions that the MSM better deal with them directly
(they won't) or will be subjected to more of them. I would hope the Obama folks really highlight them as an example of the "leadership, judgement, and character" of McCain and all those who he would surround himself with as President.
Despicable. We do not support either candidate put forth by the twin parties of Capitalist Exploitation.
another sign of impending revolution
Hilarious! Britney Spears is on record as a Bush Republican, and Paris Hilton is one of the ultra-rich socialites that Obama's tax reforms would finally make pay their fair share of the nation's costs.
Once again, John McCain tries to smear Obama but winds up mocking his own base.
How many strikes does this cranky old batter get?
Obama will put Grandpa to bed as soon as the debates start. When this doddering, confused fart tries to go against Obama's oratory skills and grasp of the issues at stake, he will be revealed as the simpleton he is.
Left&Left @ 34:
Surprised you didn't expound on nutroot all-star Josh Marshall's race-obsessed decoding of the secret meaning of McCain's celebrity ad, Left².
Surely there's another angle or a missed dog-whistle interpretation in there somewhere. Or did he just about cover it all?
Did anyone else notice that the "Germans" speaking in the first ad were speaking with hardly any accent at all, especially the "Marxist" guy? My mother was born and raised in Germany and came to America after marrying my dad 53 years ago. Her english is not as crisp and clear as the people being interviewed in that video and she has had 53 yrs. to perfect her pronunciation.
I hate to tell you, but they haven't even rolled out the barrel yet. This is hardly a warmup. Get ready for a slugfest.
I should be interesting to see how Paris and Britney react to the unauthorized use of their photos in what is essentially a fundraising ad. I doubt that either would authorize it, regardless of the candidate. Gramps could find himself in a mess of trouble.
Its unreal. Truly bizarre.
McOld and the Repugs are desperate...this is all they can come up with, to divert attention to their disastrous 8 years of management? Its also so condescending of American voters....
Gosh, the conservatives are really losing their edge. That driving techno beat in the 'Berlin' clip literally cried out for some gratuitous homophobia. How hard would it have been to insert a 2 second clip of a couple of guys in ass-less chaps gyrating atop a gay pride float? A bona fide swift-boatin' Rovite would have done it without a thought. Lee Atwater would have photo-shopped the float away and pasted in a tank driven by Michael Dukakis. McCain's campaign team seems to be the JV team.
Where did I read this - here? - that these ads have no other purpose but to get free airing on news shows by talking heads who can demonstrate their outrage at the tackiness while still getting the GOPeed message out there at no cost to McCain's trust fund.
I think, after 8 years of one of the worst leaders of all time that didn't directly and personally involve Hitler, the GOP actually thinks they will convince the voters that everything they could possibly want in a president, including star power, speaking ability, demonstrable (and quantifiable) intelligence, and natural charm, is bad. That's why I don't believe a single poll that doesn't show Obama double percentage points ahead. Because Americans are just...not...that...stupid.
Dear God, please, please, please....
Can a candidate swift boat himself?
This reeks of desperation, and it's only July. It's only a matter of time before the Repugs reveal their true racist colours and unveil Operation:Scorched Earth.
My fondest hope is that BO , will not respond to these ads , instead praise , the mad hatter , kill him with kindness says I . Ayup it looks like the repugs are on the ropes , it reminds of bush 1 " a kinder and gentler nation " .
You're John McCain and you can't even tell us where Florida oranges are grown let alone lead a country. Go away, Addled One.
Dennis@44
"Just let that hate come on out" Clayton Bigsby. LOL.
Wait till they roll out the ads where Senator Clinton said McCain would be ready on day one because he has experience and Obama has only a speech. Or the one where President Clinton praised McCain and Sen. Clinton but not Sen. Obama. You just know it's coming.
Pretty lame. Hasselhoff being popular in Germany is funny, but I don't get the juxtaposition. Some of these people interviewed were not native German speakers. Ich habe fuer viele Jahren Deutsch gesprochen. Ich weiss ein echt Deustcher Akzent, aber mein Grammatik ist scheisse.
Have to agree there is no way that I would have seen this ad if not here. Morning Joe is no way to start off anybody's morning.
good! the ads are out early enough to be laughed at.
57 pissed off patricia Says:
madam FiFi sure did give the repugs plenty of ammo during her scorched-earth revenge-against-the-undeserving tour.
The McCain team is in deep doo doo if that's all they got. "Don't vote for Obama because people around the world like him!" Sounds like the kid who eats his boogers is a little jealous of the jock.
"I'm John McCain, and I'm an old Jerk Off".
It happens in all facets of competition! The further a person/team fallls behind their opponent, the more desperate their tactics become.. These hail mary plays almost never work and more often than not, make those using these tactics look like fools.
This pretty much describes McSame...A man left sling mud with absolutely no game!
There is something going on here. McCain is running negative ads like crazy.
McCain is also outright lying. It seems like McCain’s camp is very desperate. It is only August and McCain is throwing the kitchen sink at Obama already. What is the real story here? It seems the political reporters are missing something here that the McCain camp sees in the numbers. What is going on? Why is McCain acting so crazy and desperate? Why did McCain go so negative so early? Why is McCain lying to the point it is embarrassing or crazy?
Just heard Tucker Carlson say that what Obama is really saying is "I am the way, the truth and the light and come with me and I will make you fishers of me."
Tucker Carlson is really out of it tonight.
I started thinking about what will draw everyone's attention between Election Day and the Superbowl. Maybe they'll hold off on christmas ads until after the election and then corporate America can dazzle us with all the new things we must have.
Perhaps we should track and rate the republiscum ads like the one's aimed at football fans. Or a website where each ad can be voted on using a Bullshit scale as to it's truthfulness (truthiness!).
fishers of men. of course.

Thanks for reminding us of that!
The fact that Britney Spears is a Republican BushBot is a closely guarded secret! The Republicans did everything they could to burry that clip of her supporting Bush, and told her to shut TF up. Obviously, they did such a good job of suppressing that fact that now even the Republicans (up to and including the ones in the video editing room) didn't know it! Hahahah! You've gotta love it when their own spin efforts backfire on them so badly.
But that has traction as a MOCKING POINT! The half crazy bubble-headed celebrity that the Republicans tried to hang around Obama's neck is actually a high profile Republican! Use it! Repeat it! Talk about it! It shows two things: 1. that of all the crazies in Hollywood who are backing politicians, they craziest and flakiest ones back Republicans, not Democrats, and 2. that invincible Republican spin machine is losing it's edge, and falling apart if they'd make a mistake like that. They are not as adroit at this as they used to be.
Let's face it folks. Half the time people are voting Republican because they make the following connection: If Republicans do such a great job of destroying their domestic enemies, the Democrats, using either fair OR dirty tricks, they should be equally good at destroying the country's foreign enemies. (An argument that is totally false, but still manages to stick.) On the flip side, when Democrats bungle their attacks on Republicans, it just reinforces this belief. Unfortunately, there is a large faction of people who just want to back and vote for the winner, regardless of how they won. Basically the same group of people who admire Tony Soprano for being 'strong,' regardless of the fact that most of the strong position is gained through criminal activity. Strength is strength, and you want to be in the tent of the strong party, not the weak one.
Well, I don't know if the Democrats should follow the old Republican facade of strength through thuggery, but they can AT LEAST point out and highlight Republican blunders like that one!
McSame is desperate and the MSM is following his plan...make outragous ads, get the media to play them endlessly and you get you message out cheaply, often and without context or challenge. i can not even count how many times i heard the newest attack/argument "obama is presumptuous".
CENAC: "They both love money, they love guns, gay people scare the shit out of them...every other word out of their mouths is n****r."
sicko--but I did get a kick outta the king-of-the-world schtick. then there's the one with paris and britney too. oy.
Pericles @ 69:
Paris Hilton is McBush Bot just like Britney...
Attacking one of Obama's strengths, his popularity. Right out of Karl Rove's playbook. Rove attacks are loosing their luster though in the face of GOP lead debt, death, destruction and corruption.
"All the Republican Party has is fear itself"
The ad is very weak. If I was on the fence, this might push me to Obama. What's next for the GOP? Here's the next attack....(using the sleazy attack ad voice) "Obama finished top in his class and his success is through hard work and intelligence. He didn't have the guts to leave his wife and marry into money to promote his career. Does America really want a politician with ethics? I'm John McCain and they told me that I approve this message. "
I just emailed McCain's campaign and asked when they were going to start running the positive campaign that Cindy promised. Now my email will probably get all the spam from McCain. Damn.
American infrastructure still being neglected http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080730/ap_on_re_us/nation_s_bridges_one_yea... but McSame wants you to know all is well in Iraq since the GOP has invested half trillion of our dollars over there.

BARACK PUSHES BACK!
John McCain dishonestly supported George W. Bush’s lies and no one should expect him to be any less dishonest about his own lies. McCain can’t claim to be “different” from George W. Bush when the “same” people are now running his campaign that ran Bush’s White House. McCain saw he was losing, so he desperately reached out to the “same” whores and propagandists that Bush relied on. McCain has sold whatever was left of his soul to adopt the “same” immoral political values and disgraceful practices of George W. Bush’s wholly worthless and purposefully damaging presidency. McCain isn’t going to garner 200 electoral votes and he will lose the popular vote by double digits. Not because he is “different” from George W. Bush, but because he is the “same” as George W. Bush. They deserve one another and the Republican Party deserves them both.
Well, the day has finally come for me...I might possibly stay home to watch these dispicable ads and not vote. I am again seeing history repeat itself...2004 ads that destroyed Kerry because he didn't fight back until the last minute. Although one wishes to take the "high" road, one must take advantage of an opening when presented, and clearly this has not been happening thus far.
McCain should be attacked in ads that clearly send a signal, "if play, you pay" and then let him cry some.
this most definitely is NOT a parody.
you can tell, because in the first seconds, it says "this is a parody."
in addition to sort of understanding the word "fallacy" and the latin phrase "ad hominem," the never-right now has "parody" as their new plaything. it's sooo much fun for them because video doesn't challenge their literacy as much as reading and writing.
and we're going to see a lot more of these, because now, under cover of "it's a parody," the toads will say things that would be otherwise out of bounds.
but cheer yourself up, go over to "my damn channel" and watch "horrible people," a soap in ten five-minute episodes. it's refreshing and absurd.
http://www.mydamnchannel.com/Horrible_People/Season_1/HorriblePeople1_53...
They are FEELING THE HEAT
He's John McCain and he's a scumbag!
McCain is desperate. He has to try to make people fear Obama more than they fear a third George W. Bush term. The negative ads make him seem like he has no agenda, no solutions, for the terrible problems we face. All he can do is try to lower Obama's positives.
Moniker @83
Who’s the Black dude?
You mean the one holding the basketball?
Oh man, all I have to say is THANK GOD they managed to keep Carvelle and Begala out of the spin room on this campaign. If they'd tried to send Obama out in a barn jacket to shoot geese, or drop the flag at a NASCAR race, while praying that nobody uncovers a high school picture of Obama holding a basketball,his campaign would be deader than Bush's social security reform plan by now. And the stone would read 'Here rests the THIRD "fake Republican" candidate the Democrats tried to field. Was burried with his Pleather boots on.'
I don't know who's smart ass idea it was to send him to a bowling alley, but I hope the marketing genius who thought of that one is still scrubbing off the tar and feathers.
Did the RNC infringe on the Daily Show's copyright with that last clip in their ad?
You know, the one with Obama's head on the body of some guy exclaiming, "I'm master of the World!" It's from the Daily Sow's "Obama Quest" segment. (Which, until recently, seemed to be missing the punches and giving McCain a slightly more positive image. Until McCain ruined himself, and they had no choice.)
this is not McCain's style and it is sure to sink his ship. These slimy methods have all ready been used on him. Guess who was at the bottom of the barrel then? Karl Rove
Different Anonymous @ 12:
No, the candidate for the oval office is not suppose to be popular according to the Republicans. If he is popular among people, thats a bad thing. You see, were suppose to elect a President who is unpopular around the world, because according to Republican illogic, that means he's a good president! Oh yea, and polluting the environment is good, making the rich more richer and the poor more poorer is good, fighting unnecessary wars is good. So you see, things which would make you unpopular among common sense people who have half a brain is good and being popular among these people is bad, because it means their happy and democracy is working.
I hope I cleared up some of this republican illogic for you guys....to help you understand better;)
Desperate and Disgusting
Paris and Britney are Republican supporters and represent Republican Christian Family Moral Values. One would think Republicans might have used someone like Will Smith or Tiger Woods in the Ad. But then again Americans love Will's movies and love to watch Tiger play golf. When will these idiots realize race has no place in America.
Better to be led by “biggest celebrity in the world,” than the "biggest asshole in the world" which is what yo have been led by for the last 7 1/2 years.
How does this qualify as an attack add??????
I can hardly wait for the debates. I can only pray that Obama will cooly lay out the royal flush of (sad) facts from the past 8 years of this failed administration. If Obama is this cycle's candidate of hope, then my hope is he'll actually use, in as tacit a way as possible, the mountains of scandals, the lies, the exploitations and blatant grabs at consolidation of as despotic a power as conceivable by this neo-con agenda. It's all there for the telling, but my fear is Obama will think it beneath him to use it and McCain will continue with the half-assed gotcha politics right into another 4 to 8 years of this neo-con corporatism.
How much blood needs to be in the water before a Dem will actually attack?
Barack Obama is wildly popular. But hey, look! Britney Spears is wildly popular too! And you know who else was popular? HITLER!
Nice "respectful" campaign, Johnny Boy.
You know if you keep looking into McCain's eyes when he "approves the message", you see a glint of (insanity?) (a righteous imperative?) that begins to get truly creepy.
I would seriously think about changing that rather intimate moment if I were the McCain camp.
Since the RNC is comparing political candidates to celebrities (Obama is a Britany Spears look-alike), where would John McCain fit in this game?
I'm thinking Bela Lugosi but the look is wrong. Peter Boyle, playing Frank N. Stein on meth, also comes to mind. I know there are a lot of votes for Mussolini. Private Schultz?
What celebrity would you compare John McCain to? Please use good taste.
