SuperJerk Posted September 12, 2008 Report Posted September 12, 2008 This video is pretty good too: http://www.thedailyshow.com/video/index.jh...-news-team-ever Here's the url for the Palin interview: http://abcnews.go.com/video/playerIndex?id=5783816
Jobber of the Week Posted September 12, 2008 Report Posted September 12, 2008 Barack Obama: A candidate you'd like to drink a beer with. Sarah Palin: A candidate you'd like to pour a beer on.
AndrewTS Posted September 12, 2008 Report Posted September 12, 2008 Now now, the important thing is if the candidate(s) policies will make it easier to put food on your family.
PUT THAT DICK IN MY MOUTH! Posted September 12, 2008 Report Posted September 12, 2008 (slaps forehead) After she regains her footing she actually outlines a policy (using military strikes only to prevent immanent threats) that's really quite a bit more sensible than McCain's. I wonder if the two of them have even actually had a discussion about this stuff?
Guest Vitamin X Posted September 12, 2008 Report Posted September 12, 2008 What? Policy? All I heard there was a blizzard of words, as Charlie (or as Palin says it, CHYAR-LEEE) said. All complete and total Party rhetoric; it's interesting because Palin is exactly the sort of candidate that the Republicans THINK Obama is (empty suit, all story and no substance, a pretty face with no brain, etc.), so it's probably why the media has been focusing on those two. I don't know who said it earlier, but whoever mentioned that a fight between a black man and a white woman in the Presidential race is more interesting than seeing the same two old white men battle it out, hit it right on the head.
CubbyBr Posted September 12, 2008 Report Posted September 12, 2008 These are the types of ads the democrates need to do more of. It's pretty effective at painting a different view of Palin...
Guest Vitamin X Posted September 12, 2008 Report Posted September 12, 2008 Yeah I don't think an ad like that will win anybody over in say, Indiana. Hell, if Tzar Lysergic is any indication, he'll probably support Palin on the basis of that. EDIT: Speaking of organizations that support Obama airing TV ads, here's one from Planned Parenthood: Yeeeeeah.
CubbyBr Posted September 12, 2008 Report Posted September 12, 2008 You don't think that wolf ad would be effective with woman? On another note, for anyone interested, McCain got smacked around pretty good on "The View" today.
The Ghost of bps21 Posted September 12, 2008 Report Posted September 12, 2008 Wow. That's about the last place I'd expect someone to call out McCain. ...barring Fox News of course.
SuperJerk Posted September 12, 2008 Report Posted September 12, 2008 Those women are just sexist against Sarah Palin. They also brought up the discredited sex-ed ad, but McCain dodged it completely. And, I have to say, it's really too bad be live in a country where someone can't support a bill that will mandate teaching kindergarteners to avoid sexual predators without it getting twisted and used against them.
SamoaRowe Posted September 12, 2008 Report Posted September 12, 2008 That clip made me feel embarassed for McCain. Of course his defenders will just cry that he was attacked by a pack of mindless liberals, and the campaign will continue to have support of half the country.
SuperJerk Posted September 12, 2008 Report Posted September 12, 2008 And in case you weren't already convinced Sarah Palin is a total hypocrite: Palin defends earmark requests for Alaska http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080912/ap_on_...ign_republicans I guess part 2 of the Palen interview airs tonight, and she'll be talking about what an awesome governor she is.
Guest Vitamin X Posted September 12, 2008 Report Posted September 12, 2008 That was fucking spectacular.
NoCalMike Posted September 13, 2008 Report Posted September 13, 2008 Yeah the Wolf thing is pretty despicable. Whether there is good reason or not for the Wolves to be hunted(population control) is an entire seperate issue in itself, however the aerial killings/huntings is surely not a very humane way to go about it and reeks of just giving in to the gun lobby to allow a bunch of savages to go out and kill stuff. Regarding McCain's thoughts on the Sex Ed thing, I really think McCain, Palin, and the majority of conservative pundits know DAMN WELL that the ad isn't referring to teaching sex ed to kids, but they figure that if it is repeated enough then by the time the election rolls around there will be so much doubt about it that it will sway some voters. This is exactly the dishonest type of politics that I am tired of. I heard the View interview(I have a walkman that picks up TV channel audio) and if I recall correctly Joy Behar basically called McCain out on that ad, and McCain said "It's not a lie" but then kind of hurrily skipped to the next topic without explaining himself.
NoCalMike Posted September 13, 2008 Report Posted September 13, 2008 Wow, that RNC clip reminds me of something I'd see in the movie Requiem for a Dream after the mom took a diet (speed) pill.
NoCalMike Posted September 13, 2008 Report Posted September 13, 2008 Oh. My. God. Pathetic. Wow. Who knew all along it was those dang MUSLINS behind all of this......
SuperJerk Posted September 13, 2008 Report Posted September 13, 2008 One of these days they're gonna learn not to put McCain in front of a green screen. Good article on why Palin appeals to so many people: http://www.time.com/time/politics/article/...1840388,00.html
Art Sandusky Posted September 13, 2008 Report Posted September 13, 2008 I want to know when we decided to say "energy" in place of "oil."
Guest Tzar Lysergic Posted September 13, 2008 Report Posted September 13, 2008 Yeah I don't think an ad like that will win anybody over in say, Indiana. Hell, if Tzar Lysergic is any indication, he'll probably support Palin on the basis of that. Two things I will never vote for under any circumstances. 1. A religious nut. 2. A woman, because I'm a sexist creep.
SuperJerk Posted September 13, 2008 Report Posted September 13, 2008 (edited) I want to know when we decided to say "energy" in place of "oil." Because "Alaska produces almost 20% of America's energy" sounds better than "Alaska produces almost 20% of America's oil"...even though the latter is (almost) true, but the former is not. http://www.factcheck.org/elections-2008/en...ally_wrong.html Edited September 13, 2008 by SuperJerk
SuperJerk Posted September 13, 2008 Report Posted September 13, 2008 (edited) I got mixed up since, really, even saying Alaska producing 20% of America's oil is a considerable stretch. Palin lied about visiting Alaska National Guard troops in Iraq... http://www.cnn.com/2008/POLITICS/09/13/palin.iraq/index.html There is, however, a job Palin is better suited for than VP... http://www.slate.com/id/2199931/?from=rss Alan Greenspan has publicly questioned how McCain's going to pay for his tax cuts... http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080913/ap_on_el_pr/mccain Even using McCain's own figures that the tax cut is only $600 billion, his explanation of how the government will close the gap between proposed tax cuts and projected spending (even if all earmarks are eliminated) falls short.

milliondollarchamp Posted September 14, 2008 Report Posted September 14, 2008 Did Bill O'Reilly start taking some kind of medication? I swear he's been making a bit of sense this past week. And he actually said multiple times that he agreed with Obama. I must have been watching some kind of mirage.
AndrewTS Posted September 14, 2008 Report Posted September 14, 2008 527s need to put out something like this in prime time. The EPIC movie trailer style music is a nice touch.
Jobber of the Week Posted September 14, 2008 Report Posted September 14, 2008 That's just typical YouTube BS. The tac-nuke was a concern around 2002-2003, but was scrapped when they couldn't get through the political red tape to use the Nevada Test Site as a proving ground. They wanted to set off an explosion of TNT that would equal those miniature nukes, but people here were understandably uncomfortable with a ton of irradiated 60-year old soil being disturbed and kicked up into the air.
