RNC: “Any News Ideas? No? Fine, Throw Together A Standard ‘Daisy’ Thing”

by Jim Newell  

Just in time for Video Friday comes the RNC’s latest Guantanamo Bay video, outlining the very serious position that all but six members of the United States Senate have taken with regard to prisoner detention. [Balloon Juice]

What — no mushroom cloud? No beheadings? No plane slamming into the North Tower? The RNC are officially a bunch of sissies.

Nice shitty audio editing.

Republicans have plenty of experience with scare tactics from their courtship of little boys.

Could these guys just do something useful instead? Like choke on a bag of dicks or flaming Barney shit and die. Please.

DemmeFatale May 22, 2009 at 3:29 pm

Why did they use Meghan McCain for the little-girl voice?

rmontcal May 22, 2009 at 3:33 pm

Oooh, just like on SNL with Seth and Amy – REALLY???

StoneAge May 22, 2009 at 3:33 pm

Harry Reid:Democrats::Dick Cheney:Republicans

Hateful little man. Let’s bury the nuclear waste up his butt.

Hooray For Anything May 22, 2009 at 3:37 pm

That sound you hear is half of the Senate Democrats shitting in their pants over a scary, GOP web ad.

shortsshortsshorts May 22, 2009 at 3:37 pm

I don’t care what anyone says. Harry Reid needs to be kicked in the nuts.

Turd Way May 22, 2009 at 3:39 pm

I don’t think people realize that the ONLY reason for the prison in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba was so the prisoners could be mistreated with impunity. It does not exist because terrorists are likely to escape from a Supermax prison in eastern Colorado (and then raid our nuclear arsenal). Fuck the national security pussies who are dumb enough to think like that.

Michael Steele must be a covert Democratic operative who has infiltrated the RNC because no one could be helping Barry out more than Oreo.

Didn’t watch it through, too boring, Did Cheney throw her in the lake after she finished pulling off all the petals? Did everyone retire to a windmill for witty conversation, cigars and port at the end, after the denouement? or was it the standard burned alive thing.

[re=323355]shortsshortsshorts[/re]: what nuts? you think that pussy has a sack? clearly castrated.

[re=323358]Texan Bulldoggette[/re]: Actually, I’m more inclined to think the Jive Talker in chief is in fact Sasha Baron Cohen’s latest adventure.

Hooray For Anything May 22, 2009 at 3:56 pm

[re=323358]Texan Bulldoggette[/re]: Michael Steele is kind of the Charles Barkley of politics in that he’s achieved that rare status of being able to say something controversial and stupid and everybody would go “oh, that’s just Michael Steele being Michael Steele” and not care. The difference, of course, is that Charles Barkley is funny and cool whereas Michael Steele is an idiot.

SayItWithWookies May 22, 2009 at 3:59 pm

[re=323358]Texan Bulldoggette[/re]: Good gravy. Aside from what, eight years of campaigning (maybe it just seemed that long), reporters crawling over everything he did and everyone he knew, up to and including his poetry and Michelle’s thesis, and even being interviewed by Bill O’Reilly, Steele still got taken by surprise? Christ, there was basically a memo entitled “Obama Determined to Strike inside United States” and Steele missed it because he was clearing brush that year.

Don’t we all just know that next season 24 will begin with some terrorists escaping from a supermax prison in Nevada and then, as usual, getting their hands on a nuclear weapon so they can torment the US with the cooperation of their buddies in the White House?

CaliforniaMike May 22, 2009 at 4:09 pm

Hey, I don’t want teh terrorist living next door to me. What? They wouldn’t actually be “released,” just moved to other prisons? Harry Reid, you’re almost as dumb as George Junior.

Uncle Sam May 22, 2009 at 4:11 pm

Let all the terrorists loose in Dick Cheney’s fat ass pants. That’s a high security prison.

queeraselvis v 2.0 May 22, 2009 at 4:11 pm

Nice segue between frightened white girl and erudite black man. Willie Horton, anyone?

lawrenceofthedesert May 22, 2009 at 4:21 pm

Why are they wasting money on ads when there’s no election happening? Just practicing? Are the ads supposed to sell RNC T-shirts or something?

Gopherit May 22, 2009 at 4:22 pm

If only Hopey had the wisdom of the RNC, his poll numbers wouldn’t hover in the high 60s.

Gopherit May 22, 2009 at 4:26 pm

[re=323358]Texan Bulldoggette[/re]: Wait….who vetted Steele? This is a mystery, wrapped in an enigma inside of an onion.

Mr Blifil May 22, 2009 at 4:31 pm

I’m disappointed the Frankenstein monster did not appear to play daisies with her.

Gopherit May 22, 2009 at 4:45 pm

[re=323384]Uncle Sam[/re]:

I’m pretty sure there’s a terrorist in his pants already, but someone else can waterboard it:

[re=323431]Gopherit[/re]: No terrorist. Just a BM.

Larry McAwful May 22, 2009 at 5:25 pm

Okay, that’s it: I’m terrified. You terrorists have terrified me enough with your terrifying video. Terrorism works! Vote Republican.

Serolf Divad May 23, 2009 at 11:22 am

I love the disclaimer at the end: “Paid for by the Republican National Committee.” I see that and I’m like… WTF… someone got paid for cutting and pasting that lame ad together? It’s like when I see a rusty hunk of shit ’92 Corolla coughing and sputtering down the highway bearing a bumper sticker that says “Never mind the car, my true reward in Heaven.”

Ahneta May 23, 2009 at 6:29 pm

I am personally and professionally insulted by the poor production values in the rip-off of one of the greatest political ads of all time.

Also, pull off Harry Reid’s mask and he’s actually Joe Lieberman. Surprise!

MoreZitiPlz May 26, 2009 at 1:24 am

The LBJ daisy ad is another thing the Republic Party will never get over. And Goldwater was soooo close otherwise!
