New McCain Ad Slices And Dices Obama Quote To Falsely Suggest Obama Echoed McCain
We usually don't post Web ads, but this latest from the McCain campaign is so comically misleading that it really is a must-see:
The ad shows footage of Obama that's edited down to make him say this: "We've got the long-term fundamentals that will really make sure this economy grows."
The ad then suggests that this shows that Obama agrees with McCain's recent controversial claim that "the fundamentals of our economy are strong."
"Is Obama saying McCain's right?" the ad continues. "Or is Obama saying his own attacks are shameless?"
It turns out, of course, that the Obama quote was torn out of context in a hilariously dishonest way. It comes from Obama's speech yesterday, in which he was discussing his prescriptions for the economy, and said...
"And then after this immediate problem, we've got the long-term fundamentals that will really make sure this economy grows. Change means a tax code that doesn't reward the lobbyists who wrote it but the American workers and small businesses that deserve it. As president I am going to eliminate capital gains taxes for small businesses and start-ups. That's how we'll grow our economy..."
In other words, the "long-term fundamentals" Obama was referring to were those of his own economic plan, not of the economy right now!
Oh, that's a good one. What with all the dire news and with happy hour still hours away, we needed a good laugh...
the facts never stopped john mccain from lying.

This morning, Obama's Communications Manager, Robert Gibbs, was on MSNBC and he was hilarious: he said of McCain's erratic behavior: "If you see John McCain on the road driving, You better to get OFF the sidewalk"

Watch CBS evening news tonight.
Ms. Couric is going to show video of Palin deriding Biden's long years in the Senate,
And then Ms.Couric points out that John McCain is older than Biden.
Palin then goes on to talk up her bringing new energy to the job, compared to all of Biden's years in the Senate.
The Barracuda is the gift that keeps on giving. She just talked up why Obama is a better option than McCain.

Shades of Gary Hart. New Ideas was his constant mantra, until Walter Mondale unleashed the Clara Peller ad line, on him:
Remember: "where's the beef?".
Biden should wait until Sarah spouts off about her new ideas, and then turn to her and say: Governor, I keep hearing you claim that you have new ideas, but where is the moose meat?

And Joe Biden was raising two very young children, who's mother had been killed in a car accident, while John McCain was cheating on his wife, and taking out a marriage license to wed his current Sugar Mommy, while he was still legally married to his first wife.
Joe Biden was a home every night, looking after his two little boys, while John McCain was on his Gold Digger quest, so that he would have someone to support his high roller casino gambling addiction, which he still has.
The Casino Racketeers own John McCain.

Speaking of which:
SEDONA, Arizona (CNN) – In a Tuesday interview on CNN’s American Morning, John McCain dismissed news reports about Sarah Palin’s pronouncement that the United States should “absolutely” attack terrorists within Pakistan as nothing more than “sound bite politics.”
But McCain refused to acknowledge that Joe Biden’s recent criticisms of clean coal — comments used by the McCain campaign in a radio ad and Web video — occurred under similar off-the-cuff circumstances.
John Roberts asked McCain about his joint interview with Palin on Monday’s CBS Evening News, in which both candidates asserted that Palin’s caught-on-camera remarks constituted “gotcha journalism.”
“But at the same time you have gone after Senator Biden for a comment that he made under similar circumstances about clean coal technology,” Roberts asked. “Your campaign even released a video of part of his comments. Was that gotcha politics?”
“Well, I believe it was at a town hall meeting that he said it,” McCain said of Biden. “This was — hers was in an encounter in a pizza parlor where the question was framed so that of course we're going to go after terrorists.”

It is located in the city of Torreón, Coahuila. This sport facility is used mostly for football games and is the home of the club Santos Laguna. This stadium has not hosted any FIFA World Cup games because of its limited size and facilities. In 2004 this stadium hosted several games of the Copa Libertadores.

Its a web ad. It will reach about as many eyeballs as the NIH grant that I am writing right now (not many). Meanwhile, I submit that you have a rather exaggerated view of the public's uncritical trust of John McCain at the moment. The poll results are already in showing that more voters blame McCain and the Republicans for yesterday's collapse than blame Obama and the Democrats. With that in mind, I would not take it as a given that the undecided voters who see this ad (all four of them) will come away buying what McCain is trying to sell them.

Go back and re-read my post. I am neither assigning credit nor apportioning blame. My point was not what I think about who deserves the bad rap for yesterday's failures, but rather what the data show about what the American electorate thinks. To the extent that your response has any validity at all, therefore, you should really gripe that the American voters have selective vision.
To which I will happily respond with emphatic agreement. I think that it is safe to say that the voting public, by and large, only sees what it wants to see. Or rather, they only see things in the light of the narrative that they have chosen to frame the news events. Sometimes this fact drives me crazy, because it works against my own preferred outcomes, but right now I am enjoying the experience of rafting along with the current of the media narrative instead of frantically paddling upstream because the narrative which has taken hold (that all bad things are the work of the GOP and its candidates) happens to be helpful to the ends which I prefer.
I can see that this clearly drives you nuts, but I am sure that even you can see that it does not matter that it pains you and your ilk. You and yours just do not amount to a large enough chunk of the undecided electorate in the swing states to matter.

Nah. It's all just fun.
Hey, I might even vote for Obama.
Never know.

Right...
That "Barry Soetoro" avatar was a real knee-slapper. I am sure you must have had a riotous good time working on it.
Nice try, but we can all read you like an open book.
Whatever floats your boat. Vote for him; vote for McCain. It makes not a tinker's cuss worth of difference what you do, because you live in California - a state whose electoral votes will end up in our column regardless of your own whimsical approach to "good fun."

Exactly. Skepticism is in fashion again.

There is a another Sarah Palin classic bit up on Politico.
- Katie Couric, in a segment to air tonight, asks Palin about her joke that she's been listening to Joe Biden's speeches since second grade, and whether that isn't an odd thing to say given her own running mate's age:
"Oh no, it's nothing negative at all. He's got a lot of experience and just stating the fact there, that we've been hearing his speeches for all these years. So he's got a tremendous amount of experience and, you know, I'm the new energy, the new face, the new ideas and he's got the experience based on many many years in the Senate and voters are gonna have a choice there of what it is that they want in these next four years."
Here's a compilation of comments culled on the video.
Bullwinkle: You just leave it to my pal Rock. He's the brains of the outfit.
General : And what does that make you?
Bullwinkle: What else? The executive.
....
I keep wondering... why was she listening to Joe Biden's speeches when she was in second grade? Biden was elected to the Senate in 1973, at which time Ms. Palin was 9 years old. Now most of us are about 7 years old in second grade, which raises the question: exactly how many years did she spend in second grade? And why?....
....
That Tina Fey kills me... but why is Katie Couric in this sketch?
.....
Wake me up when she starts making sense.

Yes, I'm sure she was listening to speeches by the Delaware Senator at that age. She exudes a life-long interest in all political matters.

You are very witty.

Question for Airhead Bimbo: What's so wonderful about Joe Biden's speeches that they'd capture the attention of a two-year-old?

They inspired her service to this great country of ours. She decided then and there to trash everything in her path on the way to that service -- and I don't mean Robert, not that she would get the Alaska reference.

I'll have to slightly revise my comment on the lower thread:
Republicans: WATB and liars.
(WATB=whiny ass titty babies)

What would you know about babies and tits?
Ass and whiny I'm certain you know alot about.

Agreed. These days, any time I read a quote from a McCain aide, I hear it in the thin, whiny voice of Michael Savage or Mark Levin.
WATB.

I hear them all.
Bohner - "Mean Nancy Pelosi hurt my feelings and I"m going to take my ball and go home."
McLame - "you can't talk to me or to my vice president unless you are properly deferential and respectful of us."
McLame to Katie Couric - "That's gotcha journalism"
And on and on -
I'm ready for grown-ups in the government. I can't take this bunch of irresponsible whining adolescents that the Repugs have become.

I think "Saturday Night Live" has to play McCain approving ads again, this time the same way as they have played Palin --- word for word.

OOo I like that idea.

Big Brutha...
Time to go home.
You are a troll of the highest order, in that you come to a forum for liberal minds and engage in juvenile name-calling of the other posters who have been having a meaningful dialogue.
Yes, you have First Amendment Rights, but with right comes responsibility - the specifics of which on this board are laid out when you join the forum.
Better re-read them. Civility isn't your strongest suit. The rest of us would do well to let you do your baiting and just scroll past your rantings without responding, IMHO.

I agree. I'd suggest you ignore me. You are not part of my fan base.

By the way when you're through playing, please wash your hands.

Here's a good video from ADN showing Palin’s lies, lies, and more lies about the Troopergate investigation:

I know fogu2 is jealous of Obama. He has more brains that McCain, Palin, and Bush combined.
Keep ripping on lawyers, but they do two things really well 1) speak in complete and coherent sentences, 2) prepare for debates and interviews.
Has any of the above three ever done that? Ever?
If there is one thing that unites McCain, Palin, and Bush, it is being completely unprepared for every siutation.

I am sure that FUGU has a lot of experience with lawyers, since he has at times needed their assistance in his child molestation cases.

It's the classic republican smear campaign marketing to appeal to a viewer's base emotions and not their intellect. The gimmick is the featured word 'hypocrite' imprints on the minds of the viewer as the "take away", regardless of whether the statement is true. The issues become secondary. It's a very base form political advertising that even someone like McCain should not approve. What's McCain's proven is his lack of judgement, taste and fair play.

I would tend to agree with you...In the past they (GOP) depended on repetition....However they don't have the money...Expect the O campaign to start a repetitious campaign on 777John in the last 3 weeks.
