McCain Campaign Goes ‘All In’ With New Ad


Well, we’re convinced! How about you, communists? Here is an idea: After the election, or maybe even tomorrow, let’s shut down the Internet. The whole thing. Top to bottom. The money’s gone, fun’s over, time to look for sharp sticks in the yard and defend your garage from weirdos. Let’s do it. [YouTube]

    Huh?

  2. NoWireHangers says at 3:41 pm, October 23rd, 2008

    That’s a pretty dangerous argument coming from someone who was born in Panama, WALNUTS! Also, you look fat in that picture.

  3. Video title please

  4. mattbolt says at 3:43 pm, October 23rd, 2008

    He was a server in the US military? Shit, he never even got promoted to maitre d’, or host?

  5. mattbolt says at 3:43 pm, October 23rd, 2008

    I don’t think this guy” gets” how quotes” work”

  6. SweetTea& says at 3:44 pm, October 23rd, 2008

    Short story, McCain wasn’t in the Army. Also, that’s not how you use quotation marks. Also, that’s not a real picture of Barack Obama. Also, Hawaii is in the U.S. Also…. oh hell, I give up. I [McCain's head] McCain too.

  7. Hairy Reed says at 3:44 pm, October 23rd, 2008

    I thought that was kind of quaint. The music was weird but calming. There were tons of misspellings, but hey, it’s the internets, whatever. AND THEN I SAW THAT SHIRT. Omg I almost shat myself. Why is McCain’s face SO RED?

  8. Is Short Stoy McCain John’s retarded brother?

  9. WagTehGod says at 3:45 pm, October 23rd, 2008

    I need that WALNUTS! t-shirt really bad. My car could use a wash.

  10. SelfDeprecatingFed says at 3:45 pm, October 23rd, 2008

    Awww… Trig made a video!!! How cute!

    Seriously… what was w/ the I *McCain’s face* McCain” T-shirt?

  11. SweetTea& says at 3:45 pm, October 23rd, 2008

    mattbolt: Damn, you beat me to it.

  12. Blue Line says at 3:45 pm, October 23rd, 2008

    Whoa…am I high? I must’ve accidentally smoked crack at some point during the day…hate when that happens.

  13. WagTehGod says at 3:45 pm, October 23rd, 2008

    mattbolt: Also, I don’t think he understands how periods work .

  14. mocowbell says at 3:46 pm, October 23rd, 2008

    I just have “on” question: What’s with the “I (Mr. Potato Head picture) McCain” T-Shirt? And where can I get one?

  15. mattbolt says at 3:46 pm, October 23rd, 2008

    I like the related video linked at the end, called “Fuck You Failure George W. Bush, You Fucking Fucked Fucktard Fucker Fraud!”

  16. problemwithcaring says at 3:47 pm, October 23rd, 2008

    WagTehGod: Or convincing people of things.

  17. JeffGoldblum says at 3:47 pm, October 23rd, 2008

    I mean yeah, Pat Buchanan makes some good points, but I really think the folks at MSNBC should show him how to use iMovie.

  18. WagTehGod says at 3:48 pm, October 23rd, 2008

    mocowbell: I think his head is a WALNUT.

    So it reads “I WALNUTS McCain” which is sorta redundant.

  19. NoWireHangers says at 3:49 pm, October 23rd, 2008

    Come on, People! The shirt clearly means, I’m Nutty for WALNUTS! Get with the times!

  20. Special Agent Jack Mehoff says at 3:49 pm, October 23rd, 2008

    I feel like I just got raped in the face.

  21. gurukalehuru says at 3:51 pm, October 23rd, 2008

    I like how McCain was a server in the military. If they’d confined him to the mess hall, we would have lost 5 less airplanes and maybe he wouldn’t be so cranky. Also, I think it’s cool that he’s got expirence.

    But it really would be super cool, like totally awesome, if Barry turned out to be a robot.

  22. middleamerican says at 3:52 pm, October 23rd, 2008

    I’m confused- is this supposed to be some sort of ironic meta-humor, or is this person serious? If the latter- well, yikes.

  23. mattbolt says at 3:53 pm, October 23rd, 2008

    Microsoft should make a companion to Windows Movie Maker, called Windows Semi-Coherent Youtube Rant Maker. You just type your bizarre, haphazardly punctuated list of things you hate about the world into a window, specify whether you want “mood music” or “aggresive, mishandled angst music” and out pops a fully-made video! With a single click, upload it to Youtube and post it on FreeRepublic under the screen name NOBAMA_MUSLIM_DIE_123!

  24. BoreExpert says at 3:53 pm, October 23rd, 2008

    I have a feeling Thaikid08 wasn’t born here in the U.S. either…

  25. The Neoskeptic says at 3:54 pm, October 23rd, 2008

    mattbolt: not that kind of server, an internetz server!

  26. The Neoskeptic says at 3:54 pm, October 23rd, 2008

    what was up with that t-shirt. I (McCain) McCain? Isn’t that a little” redundant”?

  27. superfecta says at 3:59 pm, October 23rd, 2008

    Is Short Story McCain the name he used during the Gold Rush when he was a 49er?

  28. Kev-O-Tron says at 4:01 pm, October 23rd, 2008

    WagTehGod: I don’t understand how periods work either. All I know is that once a month my sex life gets real boring for about a week and my girlfriend is cranky.

  29. corinnemic says at 4:03 pm, October 23rd, 2008

    I’m going to start using “McCain” as a synonym for “Love.” I McCain my Girlfriend. McCain her right up.

  30. choinski says at 4:04 pm, October 23rd, 2008

    That last pic: “I McCains head McCain” ??????

  31. 4tehlulz says at 4:05 pm, October 23rd, 2008

    gurukalehuru: If McCain was a server, then it would explain why he crashed so often.

  32. queeraselvis v 2.0 says at 4:07 pm, October 23rd, 2008

    problemwithcaring: Therefore really think Thaikid doesn’t like personal pronouns. Or gud speling.

  33. hockeymom says at 4:09 pm, October 23rd, 2008

    Hairy Reed:
    Needs more cowbell.

  34. illnoise says at 4:10 pm, October 23rd, 2008

    DeVotchKa is for McCain?

    That was some pretty cruddy reasoning, AND video editing, AND narrative. AND music.

  35. Bagglio Ordonez says at 4:13 pm, October 23rd, 2008

    I keep watching it again and again to hear the awesome music. Anyone know who that is?

  36. TheRealJimbo says at 4:13 pm, October 23rd, 2008

    I have a “head cold” so I can’t tell if this was “ironic” or “not.”

    “I’m” guessing “not”.

  37. Hurray! Another “pro-McCain” bit to boost Obama’s percentage! First “Sarah Palin” and now this! Wow. I’m sure Wonkette has missed a lot of other good ones. Well, you get what you pay for….

  38. Bagglio Ordonez: I was wondering that too. Shazam.com says it is these guys:

  39. WhatTheHeck says at 4:25 pm, October 23rd, 2008

    Oookaaaay. That kind of ad plays at my local art-house theatre.
    If it’s too avant-garde for me, then how the hell are the true patriots out in the boonies gonna get this.

  40. teebob2000 says at 4:30 pm, October 23rd, 2008

    The music made me want to shop at Target.

  41. That video sucks. The dude can’t even spell or write english good.

  42. slappypaddy says at 4:36 pm, October 23rd, 2008

    My brother, the son of an Imperial Stormtrooper, was born on an American base in Canada. He is an American citizen because when he turned 18, he had to choose between being an American or a Canadian and got really drunk before filling out the paperwork and checked the wrong box. On the other hand, I was born on an American base in Massachusetts, son of same said Stormtrooper, but have never been an American citizen because the Commonwealth of Massachusetts had me involuntarily committed when word leaked out that I was about to make the jump. Thaikid08 is in the cell next to mine. I hear him beating his head against the wall, but he does that all the time. We’ve been here five and a half years, don’cha know.

  43. RealVirginian says at 4:37 pm, October 23rd, 2008

    My friends, Thaikid08 keeps deleting are “comments .

  44. lawrenceofthedesert says at 4:50 pm, October 23rd, 2008

    See, you Doubting Thomases — I TOLD you that Bono would have something creative to say!

  45. RobPetrified says at 5:04 pm, October 23rd, 2008

    Wow, can you believe the Justice Department, the Homeland Security department, the Dick Cheney department and the Republican Majority Forever department ALL missed this?
    I guess we can just give the keys to the white hoiuse to President Palin and whats his name right now and save the USA the expense of a nationwide “election.”

  46. seriesoftubescleaner says at 5:05 pm, October 23rd, 2008

    I’m” Tim Calhoun and I APROVE this” MESAGE”

  47. The little twerp keeps deleting my NICE comments!

  48. Licensed Analrapist says at 5:26 pm, October 23rd, 2008

    SweetTea&: This is such a bullshit double-standard. Obama is born in Hawaii and he gets to run for president, but we all know that if McCain had been born in Hawaii, he sure as hell wouldn’t allowed to run for president.

  49. Ilikepigeons says at 5:41 pm, October 23rd, 2008

    that was very disturbing on so many levels.

  50. I head McCain?

  51. Sangwi Ddong Chim says at 6:03 pm, October 23rd, 2008

    I *McCain face* life-threatening face cancer.

  52. null: LOL …

  53. Mel_David says at 7:12 pm, October 23rd, 2008

    Anybody check out this guy’s user profile? Apparently he’s from Thailand which explains a lot of the difficulties with our elitist Roman characters and arranging them in ways that make sense to English speakers. Or that McCain’s head is not synonymous with the word “love.” It also explains that he is an 11 year old prostitute.

    Looking at his channel, his other opinions seem to be that Jack Johnson is great, Simple Plan is better, and Michael Phelps is best represented by a overrated hip-hop butchering of a once awesome Daft Punk song (seriously, I hated P. Diddy’s “Come with Me” less than that shit). Of course real Americans know that Phelps is best represented by this.

  54. Anonymous Office Zombie says at 7:22 pm, October 23rd, 2008

    There is no way this can be real. This is too Twin Peaks-esque, right down to the music.

  55. I kind of liked the typeface tho — it looks like it should be called Yarn Sans Serif or something like that.

  56. Deepthroat says at 8:55 pm, October 23rd, 2008

    I Jimmy Durante John Mcain???

  57. SweetTea& says at 8:57 pm, October 23rd, 2008

    Licensed Analrapist: This is very true. Of course, McCain couldn’t have been born in Hawaii because the volcanoes that formed it hadn’t erupted yet. Haha! He’s old!
