Barack Obama … The Chosen One … the Obamamessiah … Effective & Funny John McCain ad
Scared Monkeys —
If you cannot laugh at yourself, who can you laugh at?
Barack Obama and the Left need to take a chill pill because McCain’s new ad, The One, if actually funny. In order for something to actually be funny, there needs to be some truth in it and not just a mean attack. The left can complain all they want, this ad was funny and effective. Maybe that’s why they are complaining. But I guess the Left would think differently if it was an ad portraying McCain in a wheel chair and paralyzed? Or something really funny like dealing the race card ...
Dick Move of the Week

Someone commented elsewhere that this episode was priceless not because of the talent that went into it, but that a valid point was made so effortlessly. If Jon Stewart can make mincemeat of McCain's "Celebrity" ad, then he'll have a great time with the new one ...
It's the End of the World as We Know It
Scooter McGavin's 9th Green —
It has been a while since I have read Revelations but I am pretty certain one of the signs of the apocalypse happened this past week and how appropriate in these days and times it can be viewed on YouTube: Celeb Yes that is Britney Spears and Paris Hilton in a political ad. When I first saw this I thought I was watching a Daily Show produced campaigned ad but no, it is from John McCain and he approved that message. Sadly this isn’t the first time with has crossed politics as Britney ...
Dog Days of the Presidential Campaign
Black Voices Blogs —
Over the weekend, I visited the Museum of the City of New York to check out "Campaigning for President: New York and the American Election," an exhibition of political memorabilia from 1789 to the present. It was a thrill to stand at the lectern that Abraham Lincoln used when he spoke at Cooper Union in 1860. The artifacts of negative campaigning include a "Comb Nixon out of Your Hair" comb and trinkets of voters who were "talked to death" by perennial presidential candidate and noted orator William Jennings Bryan .Fast forward to today. Negative campaigning has gone viral. Indeed, ...

Like so many people with a post quota and an itchy publishing finger, I took a look at that McCain "The One" ad on Friday and wondered, Jesus, why would you want make an association between Barack Obama and The Messiah, even if it was in jest? Well, ...
Christina Bellantoni: Black Obama Fan in McCain's "The One" Ad Speaks Out
Huffington Post Entertainment Blog —
The first thing I noticed about Sen. John McCain's web video mocking Sen. Barack Obama as "The One" was the choice of crowds used to portray Obama fans as adoring. The images are faint, shrouded in heavenly clouds, but it looks like the admakers chose black crowds.
It's noteworthy, capping a week tinged with racial overtones.
Anyone who has ever traveled with Obama knows that he gets a more raucous reaction when he's speaking to predominantly black audiences, but the jumping up and down, crying and ear-splitting cheers are not limited in any way to one demographic. ...
An Obama Victory Will Either Bring About The Resurrection Of Jesus Christ Or David Duke

The good news: "The antichrist isn't going to be an American, so it can't possibly be Obama. The Bible makes it clear he will be from an obscure place, like Romania," Left Behind author Reverend Tim LaHaye tells the ...
Who's winning the message war, Obama or McCain?
Salon —
Aug. 12, 2008 | Three months before the election, and the polls don't yet show either Barack Obama or John McCain with a lead that exceeds the bounds of statistical noise. The fundamentals still favor a Democratic victory, but the outcome of presidential contests depends as much on candidate as on party. Hence the mounting message war between the two campaigns, as each candidate tries to sell the public two images, one of himself and one of his opponent. McCain tries to define himself as a battle-tested maverick and Obama as a battle-tested pop star, and Obama frames McCain as another helping of Bush and himself as an effective ...
Desperate Acts - Labelling Obama the Anti-Christ
Black Entertainment, Money, Style and Beauty Blogs - Black Voices —
It's been said that the way to make sure a meme is widely adopted is to repeat it over and over and over again. During the primary battle between Obama and Clinton, a nasty little internet email gained enough traction to spill over into mainstream discussion. That email purportedly "proved" that Barack Obama is the anti-Christ . Now it's hard to believe that in the 21st century, a stupid, fact lacking, anonymously spread internet rumor would impact a person's opinion of a presidential candidate - but it has. In fact the Obama as anti-Christ foolishness has picked up so much steam that it looks like none other ...
Michael Shaw: Reading The Pictures: God, Obama
Huffington Post Entertainment Blog —
My God that's some shot, right?
Given the likelihood of an Obama administration, it's not too early to target how BHO will be framed through spoken, written and visual language. In particular, each of us should be calling out media images that do little more than perpetuate stereotypes and reinforce fear- and hate-base fantasies of the opposition attack machine.
As Obama closes in on the Oval Office, a theme that has already been absorbed into the media mind is the McCain campaign's "messiah" attack (launched by Team McCain's "The One" ad). While raising anxieties about a President ...
Presidential Arrogance: Barack Obama’s Democracy … Shut Up & Stop Talking because I Know Better
Scared Monkeys —
From the Emperor & Chief: Change you can believe in … Obama Democracy hardly sounds like democracy.
America, SHUT UP and do what I say …
Did Barack Obama really believe his press clippings that he was “The One”, the “Obamamessiah”? Does this liberal socialist really believe that the “change” that Americans voted for was his policies, rather than just a change from GWB and the social experiment that was voting in the first black President. ...
