New McCain Ad Says More Crap About Nothing

Here’s John McCain’s latest idiot ad where he claims, get this, that Celebrity Obama’s tax plan will ruin FAMILIES and SENIORS and FLORIST START-UP BUSINESSES. Apparently, these types all fit into the top 10-20% of earners, because everyone else will have more money under the Obama tax plan. Also, since McCain doesn’t like to admit that he’ll have to cut about 80% of Medicare under his plan in order to be anywhere near fiscal stability, maybe he, we dare say, is KILLING SENIORS. Which, come to think of it, would be an objectively good thing. [YouTube]

    It looks like Obama has fangs in the last shot.

  2. freakishlystrong says at 3:54 pm, August 8th, 2008

    Did they sharpen Hopey’s teeth in that miserable pack of lies?
    I’m freakishly strong..and I do not approve of this message…

  3. NotUrEvryDayWEzl says at 3:55 pm, August 8th, 2008

    That voice… sexy senior phone sexer?

  4. Doglessliberal says at 3:55 pm, August 8th, 2008

    columnv: all Hawaiian Shark Gods do.

  5. BrandonMills says at 3:56 pm, August 8th, 2008

    McCain is for killing seniors? So *that* is how he’s going to get the youth vote this election.

  6. madirishman says at 3:57 pm, August 8th, 2008

    Of course Walnuts wants to kill off seniors. Only the rich survive. Social Darwinism, baby!

  7. ForTheTurnstiles says at 3:58 pm, August 8th, 2008

    Obama needs to find some hard, pipe-hitting surrogates to go down on the homes here with a pair of pliers and a blowtorch.

    Define Walnuts! now with the Keating thing, the age thing, the bumbling incompetence thing. Frame him and shame him.

    This is getting boring. It’s time to sink this tired old fool.

  8. SayItWithWookies says at 3:59 pm, August 8th, 2008

    Well everyone knows the Republicans are the party of the poor and downtrodden. At least, that’s who they get their money from. And who fights their wars. And who they don’t let vote.

  9. Hooray For Anything says at 4:00 pm, August 8th, 2008

    I would laugh/snark on these kind of ads but for whatever reason, they somehow appear to be working. What’s that saying about there being a fine line between farce and tragedy?

  10. TicklePickle says at 4:01 pm, August 8th, 2008

    That crazy old fuck forgot the Essence cover. Best one of the bunch.

  11. The Incomparable Tiny Valdez says at 4:03 pm, August 8th, 2008

    This from the man who would throw your minivan under the bus!

  12. madirishman says at 4:05 pm, August 8th, 2008

    ForTheTurnstiles: Ooooohhh, yes, baby. I love it when you talk dirty!

  13. Hooray For Anything: Don’t know the saying to which you refer, but never, ever underestimate the power of stupidity. Or maybe that should be misunderestimate the power of stupidity.

  14. Doglessliberal says at 4:06 pm, August 8th, 2008

    ForTheTurnstiles: actually, a die-hard Republican I know said yesterday he is voting for Hopey because McCain and the low road really disgust him. He said Hopey’s staying above that really impressed him.

  15. American Spectator says at 4:08 pm, August 8th, 2008

    Hopey’s in a pickle now - if he is the above-the-fray candidate, he’ll have a tough time going negative and without looking like HE also employs the politics of the past. Uh-oh. And he already got his ass kicked by whitey in all the important states. If I were Hopey, I’d go to Hawaii with my paparazzi and windsurf or something.

  16. ForTheTurnstiles says at 4:10 pm, August 8th, 2008

    Doglessliberal: That’s the trick, of course, but look how well the high road worked for Kerry…

  17. columnv says at 4:10 pm, August 8th, 2008

    Doglessliberal: good point.

  18. Doglessliberal says at 4:10 pm, August 8th, 2008

    American Spectator: exactly, go, play with the cute kids on the beach, pose for some cute photos, and stay out of this. McCain is just looking like a sleaze.

  19. American Spectator says at 4:11 pm, August 8th, 2008

    Dogless: What do you want bet McCain wins the Iceberg as a result of successful negative campaigning? Hopey’s gotta get muddy. Just wait ’til more Obama Mama audio clips come out.

  20. american mutt says at 4:11 pm, August 8th, 2008

    A good negative ad for Barry is a creepy photo of Cindy McCain with her half-smile and the narrator will talk about how she wants to twist your nipples in your sleep…

    ugh god, I’m grossed out already.

  21. skroocap says at 4:12 pm, August 8th, 2008

    IS THERE ANYBODY IS, IT’S TIRED A PAYING FOUR DOLLARS A, DA-, A-, A BUCKS, FOUR DOLLARS A GALLON FOR VASOLINE?

  22. valobama says at 4:13 pm, August 8th, 2008

    I missed the last part cuz I dropped my dildo. did the rich guy approve the message bad mouthing the living Horatio Alger story?

  23. TaraAriano says at 4:13 pm, August 8th, 2008
  24. American Spectator says at 4:14 pm, August 8th, 2008

    And Dogless: I think your anecdote is a little suspicious - “die-hards” of anything don’t simply switch because the other guy is “above the fray.” What are you - first year poli-sci? Or maybe your “die-hard” is 15.

  25. BobLoblawLawBlog says at 4:15 pm, August 8th, 2008

    Yeah, Obama’s all tax happy when it comes to those good ol’-fashioned middle class folks. He might even tax their private jets (I heard from some cunt that’s the only way to get around AZ).
    Out of curiosity, has McCain ever said why it is that he thinks he’s more qualified to lead? Is it his experience bringing together people from all different walks of life in the Senate (you know: rich, white men and white, rich men and rich, old, white men)?

  26. american mutt says at 4:15 pm, August 8th, 2008

    Hooray For Anything: Agreed. These ads are working. I think Obama’s still packing a secret weapon though. Something’s going to happen.

  27. shortsshortsshorts says at 4:16 pm, August 8th, 2008

    WHAT? The gov’ment takes 30% of my paychecks to save old people? THIS WILL NOT STAND.
    NoObama.

  28. valobama says at 4:16 pm, August 8th, 2008

    American Spectator: I think you are a troll. I call BULLSH*T

  29. Delicious says at 4:16 pm, August 8th, 2008

    This makes me laugh every time:

  30. BobLoblawLawBlog says at 4:17 pm, August 8th, 2008

    BTW that new Essentials ad will give me nightmares tonight. Worst. Porno. Ever.

  31. Doglessliberal says at 4:17 pm, August 8th, 2008

    American Spectator: I hope not. And I think if anyone can pull off the just-rebut-the-BS-then-focus-on-the-issues strategy, it is the Luo.

    My problem is really that I just finished Dreams From My Father and now really, really want this man to be president. The self-deprecating honesty in the book is just amazing. Plus, the man can write like nobody’s business, and has a great sense of humor, and that is truly refreshing.

  32. American Spectator says at 4:18 pm, August 8th, 2008

    Skroocap: Could you rephrase the question, please? And if you’re mildly retarded - nevermind. The answer is yes… or no.

  33. ChernobylSoup says at 4:18 pm, August 8th, 2008

    IS THERE ANYBODY IS, IT’S TIRED A PAYING FOUR DOLLARS A, DA-, A-, A BUCKS, FOUR DOLLARS A GALLON FOR VASOLINE?

    I totally agree.

  34. valobama says at 4:19 pm, August 8th, 2008

    american mutt: WE ARE THE SECRET WEAPON WE’VE BEEN WAITING FOR!

  35. Hooray For Anything says at 4:19 pm, August 8th, 2008

    There’s a way Hopey can go negative without looking like he’s doing so– have Paris Hilton make more videos of him. Either that, or just hire somebody on his staff to “accidently” send out this video of senile ole John McCain being senile to every damn reporter/bitter old white person there is.

  36. valobama says at 4:21 pm, August 8th, 2008

    Doglessliberal: I am sure you are doing something already, but do more. WE can make this happen.

  37. American Spectator says at 4:21 pm, August 8th, 2008

    Valobama: You must be new. Jim Newell and I are the co-founders of the “Early Morning Shots” crew! They call me Ishmael… uh, I mean, Wonktard!

  38. American Spectator says at 4:24 pm, August 8th, 2008

    Valobama: And I’m not against trolls. Your Mom is one and I like that her mouth JUST reaches my johnson. I’d like to introduce her to Larry Craig; make sure she doesn’t shave her mustache and beard that day.

  39. GlennBecksTaint says at 4:24 pm, August 8th, 2008

    Don’t Americans love celebrities? (Reagan)

  40. WALNUTS! jaw looks really swollen in that last shot. Like…Lumpjaw…hey!

  41. Doglessliberal says at 4:26 pm, August 8th, 2008

    American Spectator: um, OK, so I am lying I guess. Yea, that’s right. I just make up random anecdotes and post them to support my ridiculous positions.

  42. Delicious says at 4:28 pm, August 8th, 2008

    Hooray For Anything: That’s some good shit.

  43. anabellum says at 4:29 pm, August 8th, 2008

    American Spectator: *yawn*…

  44. ronaldpagan says at 4:29 pm, August 8th, 2008

    HA HA HA HA HA…John McCain is one of “the rest of us” because he isn’t famous. He did, however, try to steal Obama’s signature “gazing up to the blue heavens for a brighter tomorrow” look.

  45. ShortShadey says at 4:29 pm, August 8th, 2008

    Obama’s the AntiChrist, is what the ad basically says. Which is why all good Evangelicals should vote for him to usher in the Day of Reckoning and the Second Coming! Or am I missing something?

  46. valobama says at 4:30 pm, August 8th, 2008

    American Spectator: Yeah baby, you got the right one now, BEE–YATCH!

  47. “More crap about nothing:” Surely this is as good a definition of American politics as has ever been uttered.

  48. Norbert says at 4:30 pm, August 8th, 2008

    ForTheTurnstiles: word up. where are the surrogates?! I want some fire and brimstone! Hopey can denounce them all and calmly build sand castles with his kids. Like the end of the Godfather: do it while I’m at the baptism.

  49. KevoTron says at 4:30 pm, August 8th, 2008

    ForTheTurnstiles: Agreed. Hopey needs to kick Walnuts! in his stupid, swollen jaw and let some real shit fly.

  50. American Spectator says at 4:32 pm, August 8th, 2008

    Dogless: Here’s Hopey’s problem: at this point in the campaign in ‘08, Reagan trails carter by 30 pts; in ‘88, Bush Sr. trails Dukakis by 17 pts; in ‘04 W trails Kerry by 9 pts. Right now, it’s tied with Obama up a couple or McCain up one. Every road sign points to Dems, but likely voters aren’t following. Hopey’s got to get in the mud.

  51. Doglessliberal says at 4:34 pm, August 8th, 2008

    If Hopey wins, we need to have a section for us Assholettes along the parade route. I would actually go for this one. I don’t care to freeze my butt off for a McCain parade.

  52. Gopherit v2.0 says at 4:34 pm, August 8th, 2008

    ronaldpagan: No, that’s the “Oops! I shit my pants!” look…..def. distinct from Obama.
    American Spectator: Resorting to “Mom” insults so quickly? Amateur.

  53. OK, I just accidentally paused this thing at 6 seconds, in the transition between Us Weekly and the French magazine. I don’t recognize the blond female celebrity on the Us Weekly cover, but they actually morph her face into Obama’s. They seem to have moved from implying that he’d like to sleep with hot white women to implying that he is a hot white woman.

  54. valobama says at 4:36 pm, August 8th, 2008

    American Spectator: yo momma breath stink so bad she made an onion cry

  55. Doglessliberal says at 4:36 pm, August 8th, 2008

    American Spectator: he’s managed the campaign brilliantly so far. Who would have said a year ago he’d be where he is (besides me, who was already a stupid Obamatard who had given $)? I think he is going to do what he needs to do. The alternative is too depressing. I cannot stand to see who McCain decides to appoint to the S. Ct.

  56. Doglessliberal says at 4:37 pm, August 8th, 2008

    Gopherit v2.0: so he stole it from a Depends ad!

  57. American Spectator says at 4:37 pm, August 8th, 2008

    Hopey should turn to Michelle for advice on street fighting; they’re negroes from Chicago for chrissake! Let’s blow this race wide open. Make it interesting anyway.

  58. valobama says at 4:38 pm, August 8th, 2008

    American Spectator: yo momma so old, i told her to act her age and she died

  59. shortsshortsshorts says at 4:38 pm, August 8th, 2008

    American Spectator: Fuck you Tony. Fuck you to hell.
    Welcome back you obsessive troll!

  60. Fata Morgana says at 4:38 pm, August 8th, 2008

    Gopherit v2.0:

    Yeah, you gotta come at those mom jokes gently, you know, it takes forplay and time for that shit to sting. It’s an art, really.

  61. Doglessliberal says at 4:39 pm, August 8th, 2008

    valobama: OK, that’s what we need. We need Obama and McCain to settle this via a game of Dozens.

  62. valobama says at 4:44 pm, August 8th, 2008

    Doglessliberal: genius! I knew we could work this out!

  63. valobama says at 4:48 pm, August 8th, 2008

    Doglessliberal: (AND THANX FOR THE GRACEFUL EXIT CUZ I WAS NEVER GOOD AT THAT.)

  64. Scarab says at 4:50 pm, August 8th, 2008

    These ads make me mad until I remember that one-quarter of McCain supporters will slide into full-blown dementia or quietly pass away in their sleep before the November election.

  65. sati demise says at 4:50 pm, August 8th, 2008

    American Spectator: His campaign came out and called this ad a “lie”.

    Its a start.
    Now for Franken to come out and say
    “this is a lie, and the lying liars from that liar McCain are lying with their lies, those liars.”

  66. anabellum says at 4:50 pm, August 8th, 2008

    shortsshortsshorts: ahhh…i see….but do try to be a little more rabid next time….

  67. Gopherit v2.0 says at 4:50 pm, August 8th, 2008

    shortsshortsshorts: Yeah, I didn’t want to call that yet, but the last comment about Michelle Obama cinched it.

    Damn, Tony. You were on your meds for a good month there. You have to hang in with them, man.

    Now, listen to your Uncle Shorts, and fuck off.

  68. JackWOrf says at 4:50 pm, August 8th, 2008

    That’s a pretty good negative ad. I’d like to know where the 42,000 tax came from. I didn’t know that Obama had a record of doing ANYTHING. This negativity is really Obama’s own fault. He has refused to take up McCain’s offer to have 10 Town Hall debates. Just as he also refused to debate Hillary in the last days.

    A pattern is emerging that Obama lacks the courage to face his opponents directly. That is the best way to stop these stupid negative ads against each other. It is also the best way for Obama to present who he is. Whoever that may be. I’m not sure.

  69. valobama says at 4:57 pm, August 8th, 2008

    American Spectator: fyi: starting a dozen with “Your mom is…..” is like stoopid. You don’t have to try so hard to be an asshole. It usually comes naturally for most folks.

  70. american mutt says at 4:58 pm, August 8th, 2008

    JackWOrf: I thought we weren’t supposed to have real commentary on here? I come here for snark and nothing else.

    On that note, Barry needs knife fighting tips from Hillary.

  71. Scarab says at 5:00 pm, August 8th, 2008

    Re: American Spectator
    Did you ever notice that conservatives aren’t bright enough to be funny? Who is the most clever conservative comic you can think of? Yeah, me neither. They are simply incapable of non-linear thinking. Like their world view, everything needs to black or white, gray just confuses them.

    Remember FOX’s attempt to have a conservative version of ‘The Daily Show’? That painful ‘Half Hour News Hour’ lasted less than one month and was absolutely painful to watch. Creativity and conservatism are by definition polar opposites.

  72. sati demise says at 5:01 pm, August 8th, 2008

    JackWOrf: Hey Jackoff-did you not know that Hillary and McCain just want to ride on Obamas magic carpet of popularity?

    And Obama gets to call the shots, dude.

    Hilz and McNasty would just love to get in front of a Hopey crowd. Ask Richardson, quite the adrenaline rush!

    Has nothing to do with ‘courage’ or your own ‘confusion’ about the man. You might try reading his ‘2′ best selling ‘books’, watch his ’speeches’ or go read up on his ‘web site’ if you are not sure ‘who’ Obama may be.

  73. S.Luggo says at 5:04 pm, August 8th, 2008

    “KILLING SENIORS” isn’t so hard once you get started. It’s killing tiny new born puppies that really gets to you.

  74. American Spectator says at 5:06 pm, August 8th, 2008

    Dogless: I think Hopey was masterful in the primary. But he’s lost his enormous lead since becoming “The One.” A tie. A tie. Not good. Ya, I’m not McCain fan either. As I’ve posted many times, all I can hear McCain saying is “GET OFF MY LAWN!” whenever he speaks.

    Gopherit/Valobama: I had to go to Mom insults right away. Trying to leave office.

    Speaking of… Some of us are going over to the Union Pub at Mass and 2nd. See ya there, and you can give me the what-for in person. I’ll buy the first round.

  75. federated says at 5:11 pm, August 8th, 2008

    JackWOrf is stocking up on McCain pointz! Lol.

  76. JackWOrf says at 5:14 pm, August 8th, 2008

    Sati: How dare you make fun of my name!? Your penetrating wit is just TOO devastating. What do you do in your spare time? Beat up 2 year olds?

    Unfortunately, listening to Obama’s BS speeches, or reading his BS books does NOT tell me who he is. When a person is in a one-on-one debate, it is not so easy to BS. I’m basically a Democrat, but I trust Obama less and less as I see more and more of him.

    Reading endorsements from his 20-year-old retarded fans does not fill me with confidence either.

    By the way, why do ObaManiacs feel the need to personally insult anybody who opposes or questions them in any way? That is a sign of weakness, immaturity and insecurity. Looking at the quality of Obama’s supporters on the Web, like YOU, makes me doubt that I want him or his fans hanging around the White House.

  77. JackWOrf says at 5:15 pm, August 8th, 2008

    Actually, even tho I’m a Democrat, I think that McCain will win. Obama is nothing but BS.

  78. sati demise says at 5:18 pm, August 8th, 2008

    JackWOrf:
    use your cap lock, damnit! It goes like this:

    I’M CONFUSED.

  79. sati demise says at 5:23 pm, August 8th, 2008

    right Jackoff, you are a Democrat. hahahah

    btw, you know you came to a site where personally insulting people is REQUIRED?

    WONKETTE was not on the list of liberal websites from McCain-ville.
    You must have taken a wrong turn somewhere.

    You might try watching Obamas interviews, or the million debates the Dems had over the past year.
    HUMMM?

  80. WIDTAP says at 5:27 pm, August 8th, 2008

    JackWOrf:
    Let me get this straight - you came here for conversation? You came here for a snark free response to your comments?

    Remember where you are.
    Death is listening…and will take the first man that screams.

  81. valobama says at 5:30 pm, August 8th, 2008

    American Spectator: another time, but thanks for the invite, DICKLICKER

  82. regisgoat says at 5:36 pm, August 8th, 2008

    When a debater tells you, “I’m basically a democrat,” you should have the same sinking feeling as when your date tells you “I’m basically heterosexual.” If you’re straight, I mean.
    Where were we. O, McFuck’s latest. Yeah. I love the visuals associating the word “PAINFUL” with Obama. You’re supposed to think: “His painful big johnson! Only McCain can stop this brute rampaging showboating negro!”

  83. valobama says at 5:43 pm, August 8th, 2008

    shortsshortsshorts: who is gatekeeper around here? i’m getting a head ache and i know my ol’ man is gonna want his Friday night buttsecks.

  84. sati demise says at 5:50 pm, August 8th, 2008

    regisgoat: yea, a Democrat like the founder of PUMA is a Democrat.

    fuc’in’ Republican dicklickers.

    Jackoff, if you are a Democrat, you would support the Democratic PLATFORM, even if you are confused about Obama.

    Go get your McNasty bonus points before they expire.

  85. shortsshortsshorts says at 8:03 pm, August 8th, 2008

    valobama: Tony the Tiger is the gate keeper. Not a man, but a cereal killer.

  86. KittyKatMan says at 9:10 pm, August 8th, 2008

    You gotta love the whiners, “Uh, obama is a marxist, but I’m not a mccain supporter or a paultard or a hiller.” Right.
    Conservatives have Down syndrome without the funny face.

  87. Merry Christen says at 12:07 am, August 9th, 2008

    Conservatives have Down Syndrome only without the intelligence, the pathos, Corky, the pity buttsecks from porn stars…

  88. valobama: Now that’s perversion!

  89. YellowScientist says at 1:15 am, August 9th, 2008

    Doglessliberal: I hear ya. Could not put it down in the bookshop, blew last $20 on it. Cannot believe you guys have the option of voting for this guy.

  90. Guppy06 says at 12:05 pm, August 9th, 2008

    Being a narrator in a campaign advertisement should be a capital offense.
