McCain Ad: They’re Gay Doppelgangers, Too!

Johnny McClassy has been running versions of this ad all over the Internet, in which Obama is giving Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad the sexy bedroom Muslim devil eyes before holding a “summit” in his pants at an undisclosed Motel 6. [John McCain]

    Look at them, both the same spicy shade of cinnamon! If those guys don’t look like kissing cousins, then I’m not a cousin-kisser from West Virginnie! OBAMA/OSAMA ‘08! BARACKMADINEJAD!!!!??!?!?

  2. Electric Zen says at 3:30 pm, June 9th, 2008

    Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is a powerless figurehead. The fact that Barry and Johnny Mac are arguing over whether it makes sense to meet with him makes them both look stupid.

  3. ManchuCandidate says at 3:30 pm, June 9th, 2008

    Good Judgment? Mr Wet Start/Keating 5/Iraq/Tax Cuts/Bush luver has good judgment?

    Heh. Good one, old man. Now put that onion back on your belt and stay off the intertubes ’cause it will angry up your blood.

  4. nhunter says at 3:31 pm, June 9th, 2008

    It’s so refreshing to look forward to a campaign that will consist of serious discussion of substantive issues and eschew the usual distortions and character assassinations of previous years.

  5. CrunchyKnee says at 3:32 pm, June 9th, 2008

    ManchuCandidate: “Heh. Good one, old man. Now put that onion back on your belt and stay off the intertubes ’cause it will angry up your blood.”

    Now, that is COMEDY!

    McCain: “gimme five bees for a quarter.”

  6. Magsbe says at 3:33 pm, June 9th, 2008

    Does it make me a terrorist if I admit I would totally watch hot Muslim Marxist Communist Fascist action? Ahmadinejad is an unpleasant human being, but he’s kind of got it going on, you know?

  7. Eclectablog says at 3:36 pm, June 9th, 2008

    “Oooo, let’s Mach Mood and I’ll give you an Omni Dinner Job…”

    And, yes, Magsbe, that WOULD make you a terrorist. Definitely.

    Electric Zen:
    For realz. The Ahmadenijad baiting is so fucking ridiculous. The man is about as powerful in his country as Condi Rice is in ours.

  9. Rev. Peter Lemonjello says at 3:38 pm, June 9th, 2008

    Maybe they’ll invite Kim Jong-il and go to TGI Fridays where they will dine on Hawaiian Pizza and Super Tubers.

  10. Maj. Major Major Major says at 3:38 pm, June 9th, 2008

    Old man McCain needs to turn up his hearing aid. Obama never used the word “unconditionally.”

  11. Hitch says at 3:40 pm, June 9th, 2008

    Does this mean they’re not going to be running mates?

  12. grundle burrito says at 3:41 pm, June 9th, 2008

    Is it OK to unilaterally nuke anti-american foreign leaders? Probs, totes, def. lolz.

  13. stankfest says at 3:41 pm, June 9th, 2008

    Ahmadinejad has already assured America that there are no homos in Iran. So McCain cannot se the argument that Obama and Ahmadinejad are lovers. It is just not so.

  14. metropolitan says at 3:41 pm, June 9th, 2008

    in all seriousness, the implication from that set of pictures if that they are of the same type (i.e. race, religion).
    god, the GOP disgusts me.

  15. NotUrEvryDayWEzl says at 3:44 pm, June 9th, 2008

    Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is, obviously, the mirror universe evil Barack Obama, except that they’re both evil.

  16. 1974 (again) says at 3:45 pm, June 9th, 2008

    Maj. Major Major Major: Exactly, but of course this will be the BS that McShame will be smearing for next 5 months. Fun times. Lies and innuendo. All I have to say is that Canada better let us all in when we show at up at their border come in Mid-November.

  17. Deepthroat says at 3:48 pm, June 9th, 2008

    I hear Roman Polanski will be photographing the meeting…

  18. Noodle Salad says at 3:48 pm, June 9th, 2008

    I think the brown background is particularly subtle.

  19. Spence says at 3:50 pm, June 9th, 2008

    Brown people, sticking together. Why can’t the be objective and fair, like the whiteys?

  20. AngryBlakGuy says at 3:53 pm, June 9th, 2008

    …this ad campaign is going to EPICALLY FAIL! McCain is getting away from what has made Republicans successful in the past. Talking about simple subjects with simple choices and simple talking points(that require complicated answers). First of all Ahmadinejad is not well known enough for the American people to automatically view him as a “bad guy”. Secondly the option of whether or not you should not talk to your enemies requires you to actively disconnect yourself from reality. Even the simplest backwater yokels knows that you talk to your neighbor before you start shooting up his house. And finally the talking point of “Barack Obama wants to talk to Holocaust deniers” requires someone to actually give a fukk about Jews for it to be effective. If you go to West Virginia, Kentucky or Alabama I have a feeling you would probably get a lot of strange looks walking around with a Yamaka.

  21. freakishlystrong says at 3:53 pm, June 9th, 2008

    metropolitan:
    That’s because they’re a bunch a crooks and liars, and we’re sick of being lied to, the sad thing is people are so stupid they’ll actually BUY shit like this, I pick Mexico over Canada actually, cheaper gas and warm weather….

  22. AxmxZ says at 3:53 pm, June 9th, 2008

    McCain’s campaigners have yet to realize that putting Barack’s picture next to I’m-a-Dinner-Jacket’s is a bad idea for the very same reason that putting his picture next to McCain’s is a bad idea: he just looks prettier by comparison.

  23. DirkLeisure says at 3:56 pm, June 9th, 2008

    Remind me again why we’re negotiating with Fred Armisen?

  24. smashtheduck says at 3:59 pm, June 9th, 2008

    Aw that’s cute. They actually assume the average voter has a fucking clue who that other black feller is.

  25. Aurelio says at 4:04 pm, June 9th, 2008

    That photo proves that B. Hussein Obama is in the same terrorist cell as Mahmoud Ah-something-or-other.

  26. shortsshortsshorts says at 4:04 pm, June 9th, 2008

    Allahta sexiness is gonna be happening real sunni. Shiite.

  27. Tits_LaRue says at 4:09 pm, June 9th, 2008

    Aaaw, poor WALNUTS! doesn’t seem to have anything in his arsenal but rubber bullets and an expired can of pepper spray… sad.

    I’m going to treat myself to extra butter on my popcorn this year, because the show already sucks stank ass. It’s like a network running a single, shitty episode of a crappy, mind-numbingingly bad sitcom, 24 hours a day, for a year straight. The GOP’s big plan this election cycle seems to be boring the fuck out of the nation, and with the exception of a few fanatics and the institutionalized… everyone else will eventually turn the TV off and go read a book or masturbate or something.

  28. V572625694 says at 4:10 pm, June 9th, 2008

    I’ve heard people–well, middle-aged Republicans–state with absolute seriousness that Obama is:

    (1) a Muslim, and
    (2) the antichrist.

    I don’t go around arguing that the World Trade Center was brought down in a controlled explosion, or that Bush shepherded the Saudis out of the country when no one else could fly. So how ’bout it, Right-Wing Hate Machine: can’t we all just get along?

    Ha ha ha…

  29. AngryBlakGuy says at 4:11 pm, June 9th, 2008

    smashtheduck: …well they cant do Osama Bin Laden because that is entirely to obvious and they already killed Sadaam so that leaves them with Ahmadinejad! My guess is there will be a huge public relations smear job to ensure everyone knows how “dangerous” & “radical” he is.

  30. Cicada says at 4:11 pm, June 9th, 2008

    So, to put it in GOP terms: Obama -> Ahmadinejad -> Hitler.
    Therefore, Obama = Hitler.

    Another interesting GOP talking point has been how the Jews don’t trust Obama. You know, because he might talk to Ahmadinejad and therefore is a secret Muslim who hates Jews.

    You know who else hated Jews?

    Yup. Obama = Hitler, the bestest campaign strategery ever!

  31. V572625694 says at 4:12 pm, June 9th, 2008

    Oh, and I don’t go around saying McCain is a “Manchurian candidate” either, although it is pretty obvious that he’s being controlled remotely.

  32. John McClain says at 4:13 pm, June 9th, 2008

    Is there any way they can make Obama look like McCain? Cos that would be godawful.

  33. shortsshortsshorts says at 4:15 pm, June 9th, 2008

    “Good Judgment?”

    Bring back Charlemagne you oppressive bastards!

  34. “Barry, this fatwa’s for you.”

  35. AngryBlakGuy says at 4:17 pm, June 9th, 2008

    Tits_LaRue: …more like pre-cold war Sarin nerve agent that isn’t potent enough to kill army ants and Nazi era hand grenades more likely to blow up in your face than actually kill an enemy. Happy hunting WALNUTS!

  36. weirdiowasculpture says at 4:19 pm, June 9th, 2008

    Why are these soldiers so angry at Laura Bush? Do they hate our freedom?

  38. masterdebater says at 4:22 pm, June 9th, 2008

    It’s all OK. McCranky just doesn’t know what Barry really has in mind here. Barry just want’s to get Ahmadinejad to get careless, so he can set him up. Like they set up Biggie. It’s called bangin’, and it’s what we do here in America. Deal with it, Iran.

  39. Tits_LaRue says at 4:22 pm, June 9th, 2008

    AngryBlakGuy: …or, really, if we’re going to be accurate: rocks, flint arrowheads, and the jawbone of a yak.

  40. AxmxZ says at 4:25 pm, June 9th, 2008

    V572625694: Not only that, he’s obviously being remote controlled with 70s technology. That’s why it takes him, like, five full seconds to smile.

  41. Philemon says at 4:27 pm, June 9th, 2008

    Give me a break!

    John McCain is too old to understand the workings of the interwebs. He is surely not responsible for this ad, but is the work of some neighborhood kids who have gotten hold of his “electrified type-writing machine”.

  42. smashtheduck says at 4:36 pm, June 9th, 2008

    AngryBlakGuy: It’s gotta suck to be running low on easily recognizable, ethnic, bad guys. I’m still waiting on the O.J. ad. Otherwise you’re right; they’re only hope is a non-stop campaign to inform the hicks of the next villain’s plans. It won’t work unless they stop using big words like “negotiate” or “judgement”.

  43. masterdebater says at 4:43 pm, June 9th, 2008

    smashtheduck: Oh, it’s coming, pal. I saw a guy that looked just like Obama, cheering the verdict. And if I didn’t, the republicans still have Photo Shop…so, no problem.

  44. GlennBecksTaint says at 4:45 pm, June 9th, 2008

    Obama is a surrender monkey!
    Obama is a muslim!
    Obama hates America and lapel pins!
    Obama will raise your taxes!
    Obama will let teh blacks take your jobs!

  45. pondscum says at 4:55 pm, June 9th, 2008

    smashtheduck: The problem with the OJ senario is the number of men who think the bitch probably deserved it.

  46. madirishman says at 5:03 pm, June 9th, 2008

    In today’s NYT, Paul Krugman states:

    “Let me add one more hypothesis: although everyone makes fun of political correctness, I’d argue that decades of pressure on public figures and the media have helped drive both overt and strongly implied racism out of our national discourse. For example, I don’t think a politician today could get away with running the infamous 1988 Willie Horton ad.”

    Guess what, Paul? The ad up above IS the McCain campaign’s “Willie Horton”. The brown guys are gonna conspire and sell us white Amurrricans down the river! Hide the women, grab your guns and head for Washington! Do you want a n—-r in the White House?

    Play that race card, WALNUTS! Let the mud-slinging begin!

  47. liquiddaddy says at 5:15 pm, June 9th, 2008

    I can’t think of anything requiring more diplomacy than which world leader gets tops. Ahmadenijad is probably wetter than Condi at a Kiss concert, but he can’t go all slutty out of the box as a matter of national prestige.

  48. Anita Cocktail says at 6:01 pm, June 9th, 2008

    Rev. Peter Lemonjello: Will Jim Greevey’s wife be there?

  49. Anita Cocktail says at 6:01 pm, June 9th, 2008

    AngryBlakGuy: you’d also get strange looks carrying a Yamaha or a yarmulke.

  50. Anita Cocktail says at 6:04 pm, June 9th, 2008

    bitchincamaro: Hey, what’s with this elist link to forbidden access-denying photos? Hmm?

  51. shortsshortsshorts says at 6:08 pm, June 9th, 2008

    I can imagine their meeting will start with a song similar to this one:

  52. AnnieGetYourFun says at 6:32 pm, June 9th, 2008

    Is it OK TO Unconditionally Capitalize Whatever The fuck Word i fucking Feel like Capitalizing? John McCain says yes, English be damned. Mind you, he was borned overseas.

  53. problemwithcaring says at 6:36 pm, June 9th, 2008

    AnnieGetYourFun: LOL @ English be damned. As an Ebonic-speaker with ESL, that’s a McCain policy I can believe in.

  54. NebraskashireGentry says at 8:09 pm, June 9th, 2008

    the implication of this ad is that John McCain is the leader with good judgment, right?

    I mean, I THINK that is what they’re saying but my brain just will not let me believe it.
