McCain ad paints Dems as wolfpack hunting Palin

[Nambe]

Source: CNN

John McCain's campaign released a new ad Wednesday that portrays Democratic operatives as a vicious wolfpack hunting VP nominee Sarah Palin.

“The attacks on Governor Palin have been called ‘completely false’…’misleading,’” says the female announcer in the 30-second spot, which points to a report from Factcheck.org shooting down many attacks on the Alaska governor. “And they've just begun.” ...

..“As Obama drops in the polls, he'll try to destroy her,” says the announcer, as images of a wolfpack appear on screen. "Obama's politics of hope? Empty words." ...

1. we all know what she thinks of wolves, right?

or can she only shoot them from planes?

[KansDem]

21. LOL!!! I thought the same thing...

Maybe InSane wants to be the one in the plane with the shotgun!

Welcome to DU! :hi:

[Kolesar]

2. Looks like McCain has *nothing* to run on if he runs ads like that...eom

[Kierkegaard]

13. What else can he do?

He's tried everything else in the 'Dumbass' playbook. All that remains is to lie, smear, slander and whine his way into the hearts of independents.

The only people who are buying this &*@% are those who would vote for him anyway, no matter what he says or does.

3. Aerial Hunting

Perfect time for some video of Palin's aerial hunting of wolves. Nothing too bad. Just enough to get the point across.

[DangerousRhythm]

36. No profile?

Anyway, I think the wolf thing is a reverse trap somehow, to get him to release an outrage ad on her wolf killing, so she can come out with an "Oh, we do it because we love the animals and are protecting wildlife!!1" ad to somehow get a one-up.

I don't trust it.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

44. I think they should show something bad...

They should show the pups being shot.

[Tammie]

4. Yeah, I'll bet there's a pack of wolves who want a piece of her.

Seeing as how she's the one who put a contract out on wolves. I wish someone would make a creative ad bringing that right back to bite her in the ass.

[no_hypocrisy]

5. Is that the best they can come up with for all that money they spent?

[Lerkfish]

6. they are irony-impaired

[truebrit71]

7. Go Wolves!!!

...What bitter irony that would be if it were true...What do they say? Payback is a Palin?

[DaveofCali]

8. Republicans are so pathetic, they are aggressive bullies...

...And when they are attacked, they play like victims in order to make the opposition afraid to attack, and intending to make people (primarily their own, which have been brainwashed for years) to stop listening to the opposition.

[DinahMoeHum]

9. "Support Your Right To Arm Wolves" (or Bears)

Hey, Johnny Mac, it ain't much fun when the animals get a gun, huh?

:nopity:

[GOPNotForMe]

10. They probably just recycled the wolf footage they used in 2004 against Kerry.

Maybe they are more strapped for cash than we thought?

[Hong Kong Cavalier]

11. Subtle. Real subtle.

In 2004, the GOP did an ad that used wolves.




The wolves were metaphors for terrorists.

Remember, nothing the GOP does is by coincidence here.

[AlinPA]

12. This is the ad that makes their campaign all about Palin. It is all they have. nt

[Gillian]

14. They may have a winning strategy.

They know they will be stealing the election. Afterward, we will be thinking there were a majority of voters that believed this crap. IMO, it just ain´t so.

They have perfected election theft and the Dems have done nothing about it as a party. Why would they stop now, they are desperate for a new war.

[dkofos]

15. Watch out for helicopters.

[intheflow]

18. No kidding.

Their about to declare open aerial hunting season on Dems. :grr:

[truthisfreedom]

16. They're reinforcing the "Caribou Barbie" meme.

[sinkingfeeling]

17. Wasn't there a wolf pack ad in 2004? Against Kerry?

[WinkyDink]

35. Yes.

[eshfemme]

45. Except it was PUPPIES.

:rofl: Someone needs to dig up that old Bush ad and splice it together with this McCain ad. Daily Show, I'm looking at you. :D

[Mark E. Smith]

19. How long can Grampa McCain keep this soap opera going?

People do tire of things rather quickly, and this
little sob story cannot be kept going forever.

[Enrique]

20. answer, "no, John, we're hunting you!"

why don't you come out from hiding behind Palin and fight like a man!

[Bette Noir]

23. Because he'd rather have a girl do his fighting.

[radfringe]

22. WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAA - the wolves are shooting back

I believe the phrase is "stop whining"?

[SemperEadem]

24. As Obama raised $10million in 24 hours, that is the only poll that counts

my friend.

As previously mentioned, oldman has nothing to run on--so now he's hiding behind Mooselini's skirts like the "hero" he really is.

[ramapo]

25. Does it show her cowering in a cave?

Afraid to come out on her own?

[scarface2004]

26. i m rootin for the wolves to run her down...

and rip her to shreds in a bloody frenzy, in slow motion on the discovery channel!!!

[superconnected]

27. Who's running for prez against Obama - Palin now?

Really, they only nominated her because Mcsame didn't have a chance and hillary was the only thing that got people against obama - for a while. They decided to use a woman to replace hillary and that's the only reason those throwbacks would use a woman as a vp candidate - because they HAD to.

Let's hope the press keeps reporting on her. They aren't polarizing women to her.

She has a 50's beehive hairstyle that NOBODY would sport in the lower 48, and she has 50's womens rights values to match.

They should have skipped focusing on the preggers 17 yo and focused on the preggers 44 yo that can't control getting herself getting pregnant and hid the fact that she was preggers until she was 7 months - even from her family. The question here is since MS palin wasn't on birthcontol and neither was her daughter, and since she wants to overturn roe vs. wade, does she believe in birth control at all?

I'm guessing Beehive lady does not.

That is what women should be asking her. Remember Elizabeth Dole stopped the red cross from distributing condoms because it was against her religious belief - yes palin is crazy enough to be that wacko too.

[sudopod]

28. This must bring back memories of diplomacy for Palin...

because in Soviet Russia, wolves hunt YOU!

[Hestia]

29. Does this mean then that Obama is going after the terrorist (wolves)

[JBoy]

30. Doesn't Pit Bull beat Wolf ?

:shrug:

[treestar]

31. They are pathetic!

People should vote for them because Obama attacked the princess?

:rofl: :rofl:

we should vote for him because he's a POW. They base their campaign on their victim status.

[Aloha Spirit]

32. Factcheck has already debunked the ad's use of factcheck... entertaining!

http://www.factcheck.org/elections-2008/mccain-palin_distorts_our_finding.html

"A McCain-Palin ad has FactCheck.org calling Obama's attacks on Palin "absolutely false" and "misleading." That's what we said, but it wasn't about Obama.

Our article criticized anonymous e-mail falsehoods and bogus claims about Palin posted around the Internet. We have no evidence that any of the claims we found to be false came from the Obama campaign."

[LeftishBrit]

33. Thought it was Palin who supported hunting wolves, not the other way round

I keep imagining wolf parents telling their cubs the tale of the little wolf cub who got into the dangerous clutches of Little Red-State Riding Hood.

[mitchum]

41. But remember: GOP stands for Group Of Projection

[Nedsdag]

34. Sarah Palin shoots wolves, doesn't she? n/t

[windbreeze]

37. I guess if that's true....she gets to see how those wolves she hunts feel...right?? n/t

[demo dutch]

38. I don't like it one bit!!!

[mitchum]

39. I'm actually surprised they aren't using clips from "The Naked Prey", but substituting...

Palin for Cornel Wild

Oh, if they thought of it, they would...

[PBS Poll-435]

40. Why isn't McCain helping save her from the wolves?

Waxing his hog?

[samsingh]

42. we need some helicoptors

[GoddessOfGuinness]

43. Maybe it's time to break out the footage of her pricey aerial wolf hunts

...wasting fuel to slaughter animals that pose no threat to people.
