McCains new ad; Fearmongering, Lies and Distortion at its best
Edited on Wed Aug-27-08 09:41 AM by horseface
New ad:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QhH2q6h7_Ow


What a fucking sack of shit this man has become. This FEAR is a dangerous thing to weild as a weapon. Not only is it dishonest but the fear that comes from ads like these and falls upon the stuipd, can easily turn into violence or violent thoughts for those less evolved. McCain and his chumps ass crew should know this.

FUCK YOU MCCAIN!

EDIT Obamas words:

Here is the full May 18th Obama quote, as supplied by the McCain press release itself:

"Strong countries and strong Presidents talk to their adversaries. That's what Kennedy did with Khrushchev. That's what Reagan did with Gorbachev. That's what Nixon did with Mao. I mean think about it. Iran, Cuba, Venezuela -- these countries are tiny compared to the Soviet Union. They don't pose a serious threat to us the way the Soviet Union posed a threat to us. And yet we were willing to talk to the Soviet Union at the time when they were saying we're going to wipe you off the planet."

1. Get used to it, that's all they've got.
That ad, or a different version of the same message, will be running non-stop from now until the election.

2. FEAR! FEAR! FEAR! FEAR! FEAR! FEAR! FEAR! FEAR! FEAR! FEAR! FEAR! FEAR! FEAR! FEAR! FEAR! FEAR! FEAR
You get the point.

Here's Obama's actual quote:


"Strong countries and strong Presidents talk to their adversaries. That's what Reagan did with Gorbachev. That's what Nixon did with Mao. I mean think about it. Iran, Cuba, Venezuela -- these countries are tiny compared to the Soviet Union. They don't pose a serious threat to us the way the Soviet Union posed a threat to us. And yet we were willing to talk to the Soviet Union at the time when they were saying we're going to wipe you off the planet."

4. He has not just become......
,,,,a sack of shit, coming from Arizona I can honestly say that he has ALWAYS been a sack of shit, right from his days at the Naval Academy, to his lackluster flying skills, to his time in a Nam prison Camp in which he capitulated to the enemy and made over 30 videos denouncing the United States, to the time he came home to an invalid wife, crippled from an accident and for the next several years went out with dozens of women to the time he was involved with the Keating Five and then when he left his sick wife to marry a wealthy woman that he had been dating before he divorced his first wife, and all for the money and power to launch a political career.

John McCain is one of the biggest sleazes in Washington and in Arizona. He has always been a power hungry sack of shit.

5. That's a very vicious attack ad
Edited on Wed Aug-27-08 04:29 PM by kennetha
"dangerously unprepared.' Has any presidential candidate in recent memory been called that? And on the day the candidate is about to be nominated?

Does that bespeak McCain's desperation or a decision by McCain to go for the perceived jugular in the first round?

Is this something Obama needs to fight back hard on? Or should he try to move off of this issue about talking to Iran. Doesn't his side of the argument take some explaining?

7. McCain is dangerously belligerent. He is infamous for his hot temper
and for his proclivity to favor war over diplomacy. McCain is a dangerous warmonger who will ruin this country by getting us involved in more military conflicts.

8. That's the problem.
The average American voter favors the bull-shit simplifications, distortions and lies of the Republicans, and won't listen to an explanation given by an "arugula-eating intellectual."
