Terrorists Officially Campaigning Against McCain, With Ad Buys

by Jim Newell  3:04 pm October 20, 2008

Reason captured this billboard in Marion, Illinois, which is, heh heh, “innocently” in the same neighborhood as Bill Ayers (by several hundred miles). Right, like THAT’S A COINCIDENCE. Those terrorist are just so scared of John McCain, who knows that they exist somewhere, in one of the world’s eighty or ninety Mexicos, wherever, it doesn’t matter, they will be bombed at all times. The terrorist would literally prefer anyone else. Norm Podhoretz, Bill Kristol, any Kagan, name your favorite neocon, it doesn’t matter. Just not John “Bombs” McSlavepants. [Reason]

Don’t the terrorists know? Negative campaigning just doesn’t work!

TJBeck October 20, 2008 at 3:07 pm

Um, they forgot the ‘s’? Goddam muslins! Or is the word terrorist like ‘sheep’. Maybe it’s latin. Terrori.

grendel October 20, 2008 at 3:07 pm

Someone get out the white and paint over “10 out of 10″ “AGREE” and “ANYBODY BUT”

queeraselvis v 2.0 October 20, 2008 at 3:08 pm

Apparently good grammar is also a terrorist thing. Who knew?

MathewBrooks October 20, 2008 at 3:08 pm

ANY Kagan? Are you sure??

TJBeck October 20, 2008 at 3:08 pm

Except Ron Paul. Nobody likes Ron Paul.

joezoo October 20, 2008 at 3:08 pm

Terrorist love McCain so much, terrorist forget to use plural case.

Cogito Ergo Bibo October 20, 2008 at 3:09 pm

Aww. Terroists can’t spell. That’s so sad. Why do they hate our grammar?

shortsshortsshorts October 20, 2008 at 3:09 pm

RUN AN’ HIY’D U TERR’ISTS. Der’s a knew sheryff in town.

10 out of 10 man agree Sarah Palin a VPILF.

I know, let’s spend money in Illinois! Retards.

magic titty October 20, 2008 at 3:14 pm

Hmm. What Republican booster paid for this one?

bago October 20, 2008 at 3:14 pm

It’s kind of like the holy trinity, except more than three times as much, plus god knows how many virgins.

frailamerica October 20, 2008 at 3:14 pm

It’s also, for some reason, a rip on the “BUSH 04″ logo.

Mumble Softly October 20, 2008 at 3:15 pm

I am terrorist and would rather have mccain than Obama,
Me and other terrorist agree that Obama dig on swine too much.
Terrorist never see McCain dig on swine

Terrorist for McCain

jinmoom October 20, 2008 at 3:15 pm

McCain is either really going insane or really losing control of his campaign. Either way, it’s going to be a fun two weeks!

freakishlystrong October 20, 2008 at 3:15 pm

Well, if they POLLED the terrorist that means they FOUND them! Now go defeat them over there or somthing, sheeesh!

Today we are all terrorists.

Sean O October 20, 2008 at 3:17 pm

It’s gonna be so sad when walnuts! says the billboard company pals around with terrorist(s), since he forgot they bought the ad space.

Cogito Ergo Bibo October 20, 2008 at 3:17 pm

As a terrorist, you’d think they’d prefer the crazy old guy who keeps crashing planes.

HomoPolitico October 20, 2008 at 3:18 pm

We have to focus group the “terrorist”s over there so we dont end up focus grouping them here.

cheeto_jeebus October 20, 2008 at 3:20 pm

So, it’s unanimous, anyone but McCain.

So, can we skip the election and just go ahead with the inaugural party? I’ll bring a bowl of texas trash.

Texan Bulldoggette October 20, 2008 at 3:24 pm

“Terrorist” are in the tank for Barry, too.

Seriously, though, if terrorists respected/liked us & our pols/foreign policy, wouldn’t it stand to reason that they’d quit wanting to annihilate us?

Texan Bulldoggette October 20, 2008 at 3:26 pm

[re=140219]fuckinredneck[/re]: Yeah, ‘terrorist’ are the same as ‘geese’ & ‘sheep’.

druranium October 20, 2008 at 3:29 pm

[re=140196]frailamerica[/re]: Yeah! I thought they were trying to distance McCain from Bush….then they go and rip off Bush’s campaign logo??? Erratic!
By the way, that logo is seared into my brain because people that live in my town still drive around with Bush stickers on their car. And the variants (the ‘Viva Bush’ sticker, the W ’04 sticker)
Its very disturbing.

WadISay October 20, 2008 at 3:31 pm

Paid for by Morans for McCain.

[re=140223]magic titty[/re]: Did a quick check on wingnut radio: it’s all ACORN, Joe the Plumber, Biden-gaffe; and Limbaugh threw a hissyfit because the courts, (plural) are now going to go the other way for the NEXT 20 YEARS. Let’s hope this dopefiend is right, er, correct for once in his miserable life.

sleepy October 20, 2008 at 3:36 pm

too confusing — not unlike those chick-fil-a (sp?) commercials with the talking cows telling us to eat more pork, or whatever.

magic titty October 20, 2008 at 3:36 pm

[re=140228]Texan Bulldoggette[/re]: What I enjoy is Congressman Lewis has nothing to do with Barack’s campaign at all, and called out the crackers at the GOP rallies as well he should, but this has somehow led to Reverend Wright being re-entered into the campaign. I mean, what?
Hilarious.

Also, if they win this election, I am so out of this country. Fucking Done.
They won’t have the magic titty to kick around anymore.

Spackle Camshaft Palin October 20, 2008 at 3:37 pm

Terrorist number 3? He’s also the dentist that doesn’t recommend Aquadent.

Paterlanger October 20, 2008 at 3:38 pm

I don’t doubt that that 10 of 10 claim is based on a survey conducted with an impeccably solid methodology but where’s the margin of error notation? How large was the sample? You gotta have transparency. I’m sure these folks have their hearts in the right place when they conducted their poll but a billboard just isn’t the best format to try and present detailed statistical analysis. If Senator Obama’s campaign produced a similar poll stating 3 out of 5 terrorist(s) surveyed said they could give a fuck but then provided no breakdown of those numbers the right wing media would claim that the poll was a complete fiction. But do you hear anybody asking the tough questions about the way McCain’s terrorist(s) poll was conducted? No! Talk about white privilege!

bitchincamaro October 20, 2008 at 3:38 pm

[re=140237]bitchincamaro[/re]: Also, right radio is calling the Powell endorsement “racist”.

I give up.

[re=140223]magic titty[/re]: So, if I’m following what this dingbat is saying, the campaign, in response to being called out for appealing to racists, will embark on a campaign that appeals to racists.
Makes perfect sense.

Keram2 October 20, 2008 at 3:43 pm

[re=140232]druranium[/re]: Eh. Old Hat. They put up these signs against Kerry in 2004, except this time the republicans got lazy and kept the same Bush-style font and forgot the “s” in “terrorists.” It’s really indicative of the republicans’ campaign this year.

4tehlulz October 20, 2008 at 3:43 pm

“TERRORISTS”; that’s an odd way of spelling “Americans”.

I guess I just don’t understand regional differences….

Cogito Ergo Bibo October 20, 2008 at 3:44 pm

[re=140239]magic titty[/re]: It’s probably just happening because Hopey wouldn’t do eleventy billion townhalls.

Hmm. I just tried to post…twice…something that mentioned our notorious nader troll by name, and neither went through. Is this some sort of super double secret ban involving not just the person, but even any mention of the v-word?

Or is it just that wonk software is made by the same people who program the West Virginia voting machines?

The poll oversampled living terrorists. Former suicide bombers proved a challenge for pollsters as their body parts tend to be widely dispersed and their souls are too busy servicing their harem of virgins to consistently respond to polling inquiries.

[re=140223]magic titty[/re]: Watching the Frontline biography of the two candidates last night reminded me of how astutely Obama handled the Rev. Wright thing – making it a referendum about American race relations (before, of course, throwing the good reverend and his massive ego, under the bus.)

McCain didn’t take the race route because Obama’s strategy was too good – if they wanted to talk about what’s wrong with Jeremiah Wright, they were gonna hafta to do a lot of talking about what’s RIGHT about American racism and race attitutes. Ummm…conversation ENDER – and we’re back to the economy.

If this is their latest brilliant plan – more please!

[re=140273]pdiddycornchips[/re]: Good point. I suppose if they had been able to reach a representative sample of blowed-up terrorist(s) they might have come up with a preposterously overweight ratio like 11, 12 or even 20 out of 10. Who’d buy that even if you could produce the phone logs?
