Grow My Pie!
McCain is on TV proposing some sort of national pie-growing contest or something. Anyway, he’s railing to his audience of people whose taxes he wants to cut that Obama is a bad socialist liberal because he wants to cut their taxes. The trick, you see, is to say that Obama…
John McCain: the ultimate self-loathing man, tries to save NC with man who slimed him in SC
Let’s just say it out loud one more time – John McCain is sick in the head. The pursuit of the presidency for the Arizona senator has so corrupted him that he’s willing to hire the strategist who was responsible for the 2000 “black baby” rumor (that his adopted daughter…
Message: I Don’t Care And I Will See You Burn
You know, we could have avoided all of this if ethereally unknowable Negro Barack Obama had just agreed to do eleven billion townhalls with John McCain. Matthews: How many Congresspeople, members of Congress are in that anti-American crowd you describe? Bachmann: [Deer in the headlights] Matthews: How many Congresspeople you…
McCain’s incredible ‘Joe the Plumber’ ad
This just landed in my inbox. I kid you not, even after the dumptruck of embarrassing news about “Joe” that is circulating (has no plumber’s license, is delinquent on taxes, is related to Charles Keating (?), and compares Obama to Sammy Davis, Jr.), the McCain team puts out this winner:…
McCain’s blunt demonstration of base misogyny
Update: John McCain also repeated a lie about the “born alive” bills in Illinois. RH Reality Check has compiled information about why the anti-choicers perpetuating the “infanticide” slur are wrong, usually deliberately so. I’ll be honest—after the debate, I was worried that it was closer to a draw than it…
Joe The Plumber
Is an idiot. To clarify: Joe uncritically accepts everything McCain tells him, but finds Barack Obama shifty and dancing and just generally Sammy Davis Jr.-like, because black people dance or somesuch thing. It’s like watching a pundit from six months ago tell you about Barack Obama’s challenges with the electorate.…
No Wonder Fewer People Are Watching TV
K. Lo on John McCain’s negative TV ads: All of McCain’s Ads Have Been Negative? [Kathryn Jean Lopez] This and this and this and this? Of her four links, two are to the same twelve minute video from 2007, one is to an 85 second-long video that would obviously never…
What You Missed While John McCain Was Busy Losing
Colin Powell apparent sent up some magic signal through hip-hop dancing that he’s going to endorse the black guy. Cell phone companies gave John McCain free cell towers. Just wait until he tries to cancel the contract early, though. It’s how they get you. I also think I figured out…
Just Gimme A Little Tuvan Throat Chant
Hugh Hewitt goes insane little-league dad on John McCain. The pundits are asking whether John McCain should bring us the would-be killer Ayers in the debate tonight. Of course he should, again and again, regardless of what questions Bob Schieffer brings with him. And Senator McCain should ask how Senator…
When will McCain/Palin finally choose to end the politics of hate?
I’m not holding my breath in these last desperate weeks waiting for an end to it, but Brave New Films and The Color of Change are calling for McCain/Palin to condemn the hate and fearmongering being perpetrated by those angry mobs of supporters. They stoked the fires and now we…
