these people aren’t democrats, not by a long-shot.  allow me a minute to explain through the subtle act of analogy.

if were to tell everyone, over and over again, that i was straight, but now i like to fuck dudes, would i still be straight?  if i went around espousing the gay lifestyle, started going to margaret cho concerts, bought a turquoise bracelet, and put a rainbow sticker on my white prius, but continued to tell everyone that i was straight, would i still be straight?  now, of course, i am not in any way positing that homosexuality is a choice.  nor am i equating it to voting for john mccain (i wouldn’t insult my gay friends like that).  what i am saying is that at some point, the pumas will have to come out of the closet, look themselves in the mirror and say “i’m here, i’m republican, no more capital gains tax!”

know they-selves, pumas.  being republican isn’t a sin, especially seeing as republicans tend to think everything else is.

looks pretty rough, right? in the blogosphere, the right-wingers immediately used the incident to condemn every obama supporter and the left-wingers called it a hoax.  it was the talk of the internet, until people started realizing what you’re probably realizing right now.  the “B” is backwards, as if done in the mirror.  and something about her story just didn’t add up.  why would the mugger return to attack her further after looking at her bumper sticker?  what about the camera on the atm?  turns out, she made up the entire thing. so, ashley todd, for being not only an idiot, but also an attention-starved racist, i grant you the coveted “douche of the week” award for friday, october 24, 2008.  congrats!

“I’m also troubled by, not what Senator McCain says, but what members of the party say, and it is permitted to be said. Such things as ‘Well you know that Mr. Obama is a Muslim.’ Well the correct answer is ‘He is not a Muslim, he’s a Christian, he’s always been a Christian.’ But the really right answer is ‘What if he is? Is there something wrong with being a Muslim in this country?’ The answer is ‘No. That’s not America.’ Is there something wrong with some 7-year old Muslim-American kid believing that he or she can be president? Yet I have heard senior members of my own party drop the suggestion he’s a Muslim and he might be associated with terrorists. This is not the way we should be doing it in America.

“I feel strongly about this particular point because of a picture I saw in a magazine. It was a photo-essay about troops who were serving in Iraq and Afghanistan. And one picture at the tail end of this photo essay was of a mother in Arlington Cemetery and she had her head on the headstone of her son’s grave. And as the picture focused in you can see the writing on the headstone. And it gave his awards, Purple Heart, Bronze Star, showed that he died in Iraq, gave his date of birth, date of death. He was 20 years old. And then at the very top of the headstone, it didn’t have a Christian cross, it didn’t have a Star of David. It had a crescent and a star of the Islamic faith. And his name was Karim Rashad Sultan Khan. And he was an American, he was born in New Jersey, he was 14 at the time of 9/11 and he waited until he can go serve his counrty and he gave his life.”

contrast that with this hilarious footage care of npr outside a mccain rally:

god bless america.

In defense, Republicans say the complaints are coming from “intellectual” conservatives — not Main Street Republicans, who they insist love the “hockey mom,” from Alaska, as Palin describes herself.

“These are the folks that really have responded to the candidacy of a McCain-Palin ticket. These are the folks that are showing up in huge numbers, tens of thousands, to the rallies,” Leslie Sanchez, a CNN political contributor, said.

intellectuals?!  we don’t need no stinkin intellectuals with their “education” and “insight” and “critical thinking” and what not.  we’re the republican party.  take your fancy-ass, jew-learning back to new york where it come from, ya’ hear?  go marry a book, queers.

political affiliations aside (i’m an obama supporter), this is just a terrible ad for a few reasons.  first, the beginning has absolutely no correlation to the end.  obama is popular.  ok.  gotcha.  also, he doesn’t want to drill for oil in america or offshore.  ok?  

more importantly, the ad really just doesn’t make sense.  conceptually, the idea is sound.  ”obama enjoys a rockstar status and is over-hyped by a lot of standards, but he lacks substance.”  so show a boyband or the beatles or michael jackson, not britney spears or paris hilton.  people hate britney and paris.  they’re only celebrities cause they’re trainwrecks.  people don’t chant “paris! paris!” at her “events.”  it shows a gross disconnect with america sentiment. 

epic fail, mccain.  epic fail.
