For those who think that the snarky, sarcastic tone of campaigning is just a Republican thing, and the condescending talking-to-you-like-you’re-a-fifth-grader is just reserved for liberals, watch the latest Barack Obama and John McCain attack ads. Maybe their campaigns are a little more similar than you think.
OBAMA
MCCAIN
We were pretty much in the “undecided” camp until we watched this Hayden Panettiere PSA.
It just wasn’t sinking in before…so…this John McCain fella, he’s old? And angry? How clever! NOW we get it.
While we’re thinking about it, we’ve been struggling to determine where we stand on dolphins being slaughtered after getting caught in [...]
To be fair, we’ve seen plenty of Barack Obama supporters a little over-zealous and uninformed too, but this footage, taken yesterday in Lehigh, PA before a John McCain-Sarah Palin rally, could’ve just as easily been filmed during Reconstruction Era (if they had video back then and stuff), or during Jim Crow times. Wow. Just wow.
Despite throwing everything including the kitchen sink at Barack Obama the past few weeks, John McCain had the good sense to calm an crowd down at a town hall meeting in Wisconsin yesterday who said they were “angry” and “pissed” about Bam’s ascension in the polls.
One man said he couldn’t stand to “look at” Obama. [...]
“Who just bumped us? Really? The guy with the stinky plane?”
With more Internet money then he knows what to do with, Barack Obama has decided to purchase some prime-time air on CBS for Wednesday, Oct. 29, at 8pm.
The Obama camp will run a 30-minute special that will knock “Gary Unmarried” off for the night and [...]
People need to lay the fuck off a little bit.
Imagine speaking all day, every day, for about two years. Then imagine being 72 years old and doing that. You think you might slip up once or twice?
So John McCain said “my fellow prisoners” to a crowd in Pennsylvania today. So what? Joe Biden said Hillary [...]
We generally think people who put bumper stickers on their car are retards. But in light of John McCain’s “That One” comment when referencing to Barack Obama last night, we’d get a good chuckle or at least a hearty smirk if we saw this on the road somewhere, assuming we looked up in time to [...]
We’ll keep this one brief, but the answer to the above headline is: Barack Obama.
Outside of Drudge Report, it doesn’t look like John McCain scored well anywhere else.
We’re really surprised it wasn’t closer, if for no other reason this debate was a snoozer. Sure McCain got his “that one” comment in there and a few [...]
The utter contempt both candidates have for one another was obvious (though Barack Obama hid it a little better) in tonight’s Presidential debate.
However nowhere was it more evident then when John McCain referred to Bam as “that one.”
That one? Why stop there? Why not, “that black fella” or “Mr. Bojangles over there”?
RawPolitics.tv is breaking that John McCain said “my friends” 11 times (give or take a couple) during tonight’s Presidential debate.
We were not able to confirm by post-time if everyone McCain referred to as his friend was actually his friend.
In related news, Barack Obama needs a similar catch-phrase for all of the Democrats out there who want their own [...]
