Few signs are more telling of a remediless Republican campaign than a wacky attack ad about ’60s hippies smoking marijuana cigarettes. The conservative group Freedom’s Watch has just made this one against Democratic Colorado Senate candidate Mark Udall. Because you’d have to be high on drugs to support peace, HMM? [Scorecard]
I think I just got a contact high.
Will the 1960s please die already? I swear that this is the number one reason to reject McOld.
I’m confused: Udall want’s to spend 8 billion on a smoke filled van???
Hey man, is that Freedom Rock?
Turn it up, man.
naveed: I agree. Besides, modern day pot is WAY stronger than that dirt they used to smoke back in the day.
Man, I could really use that van right about now.
Damned that hippie, Mark Udall! How dare the people in Colorado support a man who’s own dad was “Too Funny to be President“! Maybe Mo’s followers were stoners also and that is why he was Too Funny to be President” It was the 70’s you know!
People in Colorado all know the evils of marijuana, that’s why they all do meth instead. Much safer.
I forgot, War is cool, Peace SUCKS!!!!
It would have been better if there’d been an old, gimpy, whitehairded guy in the van who’d been there for FIVE AND A HALF YEARS!
I think I would like to work in the peace department.
Fuck, people, can’t anybody make a good attack ad this cycle? This election is going to turn into one big sissy-slap fight, isn’t it?
Ouch, I think I stubbed my intelligence on that piece of shit.
Man, all that weed smoke and no Tommy Chong in sight!
Mo? I miss MO Udall.
Also, fuck it. Where are the hippies when we need ‘em? I miss hippies, too. Sorta.
zoinks!
TGY: They’re Freeing Mumia. Sorta.
Was that John Denver?
Idiotic Liberals, we already have a peace department, it’s called “the Pentagon.”
azw88: Dave’s not here.
Actually, Cheech and Chong are back in action this year. Maybe they’re in that $8 billion dollar peace van smoking the peace pipe.
facehead: maybe we should start dropping peace bombs, it only took two to create peace with japan. weeee for peace
TGY: I miss Mo also. He was a great man. My Hero. Seriously.
That is a pretty awesome commercial, actually.
freppish: And all those dead Iraqis and Afghanis love all the great peace we have been bringing them…

this one is way creepier, what do they mean by total victory?
I guess it’s safe to say then that Freedom’s Watch is a sensible digital Casio, and not one of those flamboyant numbers with a peace sign on the face and a hemp wristband.
Please be careful about taking that brown acid
MoodProcessor: As we are without a doubt the only two people alive today old enough to remember but still young enough to have not forgotten, I salute you, fellow child of K-Tel commercials.
TGY: Well, the weather hasn’t turned shitty yet, so they’re mostly all still here in Oregon being filthy and beggy. Can’t fucking wait for the first frost to drive/kill them off.
freppish: Holy Nazis, Batman–”complete victory” and “what part of dead doesn’t Mark Udall understand?” I’m glad I don’t live in Colorado and have to make the decision between that “Boulder LIBERAL!” and some serious Nazi shitheads.
freppish: Stingy with the coffee pouring too.
not to be outdone, Udall has this attack against his opponent:

Benjamin Rush, abolitionist, signatory of the Declaration of Independence and renowned follower of Leon Trotsky and Rosa Klebb, proposed a Department of Peace for Washington’s cabinet. (At first Washington thought Rush said Department of False Teeth and almost approved it.)
In 2007, Kucinich introduced bill to establish a Dept. of Peace and Non-Violence. It had 70 Islamic appeasers, I mean co-sponsors. Rep. Mark Udall was not one. Not that such matters to these penis-heads.
A hippie… with a jacket and a tie?
Narc!!!
I wish my lousy health plan covered lobotomies.
I didn’t know Jeff Spicoli was running for public office.
i think that’s the same cracked-out child-toucher guy who used to come to my middle school and ‘get real’ with us about the dangers of drugs for the DARE program
In 1994, Mo Udall was asked if he would run for President again.
“If nominated I’ll run for the border,” he said.
“If elected I’ll fight extradition.”
You guys can head to Spain. Nogales is just two hours away.
That ad is enjoyable compared to this piece-o-shit that plays about every 30 minutes in Minnesota. This girl needs a spanking.

an ad obviously put together by someone who either didn’t get and or enjoy the 60’s or worse, someone who was left out while the rest of us had a great time…loser ad by loser people…fail
Monsieur Grumpe: she looks like a little Sarah Palin, even has the eye roll and head moves down…weird
Guppy06: very well put; you’ve put your finger right on the blowholes who are making the ads…the same class of playground beat kids that spawned evil Rove
I’m too baked to find this funny. I only have 1 Rizla left that that’s starting to sober me up
All of Sarah Palin’s kids are huge stoners.
And drunks.
patentleatherpussycat: All of the kids? I knew lil’ Trig was always down for a shot and a hit, but leave Willow out of this!
How about the Department of Parts. They would keep the pieces you need to put back together to make the Humpty Dumpty man whole again.
Or the Department of Old Farts who want to leave your country to a cunt who would nooky Irani in a nanopod movie…oh you mean that was the RED BUTTON?
Craigslist founder, Craig Newmark, recently wrote about this site on the Huffington Post. I thought it sounded like a great fusion of politics and technology and worth passing along:
http://ObamaTravel.org — real grassroots democracy
“Hey, this is a good example of genuine grassroots democracy:
http://ObamaTravel.org is a platform that connects volunteers who want to travel to a swing state with financial sponsors and swing state host families. It’s sort of a political hybrid of craigslist and Team-in-Training - volunteers post profiles and solicit sponsorship from their family and friends. Sponsors can see their donations in action by following the activities of their volunteers.
… and let’s remember that “community organizing” is pure grassroots democracy.”
