Weird Attack Ad Claims Bob Casey Was Actually Black At Birth (VIDEO)

by Kirsten Boyd Johnson  4:43 pm November 28, 2011

It is not clear why this bizarre, fancy pants Republican campaign ad from Pennsylvania Senate candidate “Steve Welch” needs five and a half entire minutes to painstakingly explain why Democratic rival Sen. Bob Casey is Barack Obama’s secret long-lost twin brother, because HELLO, obvious. But Republican primary voters are sort of a dim lot sometimes, so Team Welch also helpfully Photoshopped Bob Casey wearing the exact same tie as Barack Obama multiple incriminating times, as proof. Why can’t Bob Casey just admit that he is black already?

See those two babies at 0:25? The one white and the one black? If you smoosh the two of them together, they make a bi-racial, like Barack Obama, who is like Bob Casey, who is by the cumulative property squared minus its root plus two also a bi-racial, which makes him black. Several paid actors also verify this is the case! But all fun and games aside, Steve Welch reminds us at the end of the video that he has only white children, which was the main point all along.

I need to see their long-form separated at birth certificate, please.

Will kortney's long form suffice?

Mumbletypeg November 28, 2011 at 4:53 pm

Huh. There's no entry for "Steve Welch" on wikipedia either. Ergo, can he really be "legit," as they say?..

Negropolis November 28, 2011 at 11:57 pm

I demand their long-form umbilical cords, myself.

finallyhappy November 28, 2011 at 4:49 pm

I gave Casey money when he ran against Santorum and I met him at a conference here in DC. If I had known he was B.'s brother, I would have given him more money

Lascauxcaveman November 28, 2011 at 5:31 pm

And he only wishes he was as black as Barry O. Which to say, only a little.

PalinzADummy November 28, 2011 at 6:16 pm

When you're as white as the driven snow, even that little bit of Teh Black can help.

Would it surprise you to find out that 95% of supposedly "white" Americans have some nonwhite ancestors? It wouldn't me.

Callyson November 28, 2011 at 4:49 pm

Oh come on–this has *got* to be a joke from some snarky Casey staffer. No one would expect people to take this farce seriously…
…um, er, never mind…
Also: never mind his occasionally annoying centrism now: CASEY 2012!

memzilla November 28, 2011 at 4:50 pm

Another Waffle House conspiracy exposed.

Callyson November 28, 2011 at 4:50 pm

And: please please please let Casey's response to this ad be "I'm Obama's brother from another mother." I will go into debt contributing to Casey if he does so…

LesBontemps November 28, 2011 at 4:55 pm

Coulda been the same mother, if color were the only issue.

LettucePrey November 28, 2011 at 4:51 pm

Well, if Arnold Schwarzenegger and Danny Devito can be twins…

Baconzgood November 28, 2011 at 4:51 pm

This ad is no reflection of those PA residence living outside of Pennsyltucky.

There's a funny article over on WaPo. Finding it involves the search terms "google" and "autocomplete" and "Sarah Palin" and a word that starts with R. I tried to link to it here, but the Administrator apparently doesn't like certain URLs. Probably because it was from the Washington Post.

Here's that link. Don't be retarded.

I dunno, but I'm about sick to death of that Rick Perry ad where he tells the audience that he's going to force Congress to balance the budget or he'll cut their pay and send them home.
And I'm sure my neighbors are getting tired of me screaming 'ASSHOLE!" everytime it comes on.

PalinzADummy November 28, 2011 at 6:18 pm

With any luck, they haven't heard you over the din of screaming "ASSHOLE!" themselves everytime it comes on.

Biff November 28, 2011 at 7:23 pm

I no longer give a rat's ass what my neighbor thinks of me. Not since my g/f moved in with him, anyway. That cunt. And there are only two women I've known that have earned that accolade.

PalinzADummy November 28, 2011 at 7:32 pm

Now I'm curious. Who's the other one?

That's pretty fucking cold, dumping your boyfriend only to move in with his neighbour.

SorosBot November 28, 2011 at 4:55 pm

Someone should tell the geniuses who made this ad that Obama won Pennsylvania by a pretty comfortable margin; trying to tie Casey to him will help, not hurt, his reelection.

Terry November 28, 2011 at 5:39 pm

One of my steel mill working, union dues paying, "ethnic white"' Pennsyltucky relatives was in the hospital before the last presidential election and insisted an absentee ballot be brought to him so he could vote for Obama. Turns out, filling out the ballot was one of the last things he did. He passed away a couple days later, before seeing the returns. He wanted to get one more Democratic vote in there and to know he voted for the first black man who was a viable candidate for President.

Geminisunmars November 28, 2011 at 5:59 pm

Good for him – and I'm not being snarky. Great story.

PalinzADummy November 28, 2011 at 6:20 pm

What a pity that such a great human being is gone, when slime like Dick Cheney, Karl Rove, John Yoo, Paul Wolfowitz, Doug Feith … but you get my drift.

I think all white men have checked out Hopey's sausage at one time or another.

Back to book peddling and pizza memories for Herman. I still don't get it, the man has a wife that is a knockout. Let me guess: Are we talking blonde here? Smart money says it's some siliconed cougar type who thought the Pizza express was actually going to go somewhere. Of course, the most likely theory is that the Pizza express was never really headed to the White House, but wanted to sell a few hundred pallets of books and the cougar wasn't considered worth dealing with. In any case, yet another comedic gift from the man who just can't keep his finners off the lady bits, Herman Cain! Let's hear it for him Folks!!!111!!!!!!

natoslug November 28, 2011 at 7:09 pm

We are not talking blonde, I guess she counts as a cougar (although she looks more like a Maine Coon).

PalinzADummy November 28, 2011 at 7:15 pm

No, she's not blonde; in fact, she looks rather brown. A light brown, to be sure, but brown, nevertheless. She actually looks like a nice person. A touch heavy. Not unattractive. Older woman. Doesn't look like she's had "work" done, but what do I know about that?

I get the feeling Mrs. Herman Cain is not going to be quite so gullible the sixth (or is it seventh?) time around.

Let's see: Two women at the NRA who filed suit and got a settlement + ONE woman from the NRA who never filed a suit, + TWO women employees of Iowa Christian talk radio dood Steve Deace + Sharon Bialek, that's SIX actual assaultees, plus six witnesses/corroborating witnesses.

Gloria? Time to get out the rolling pin, hon.

"Rather, this appears to be an accusation of private, alleged consensual conduct between adults – a subject matter which is not a proper subject of inquiry by the media or the public. No individual, whether a private citizen, a candidate for public office or a public official, should be questioned about his or her private sexual life." – Cain’s attorney, Len Wood

Well, fuck it, its not like I was going to vote for him anyways.

They accused him of engaging in conduct that was only allegedly consensual? Either Len Wood needs to learn proper modifier placement or this is another one of these hand on the back of the head things.

According to the host at the beginning, he will be talking to "renowned experts"…

Interesting that the first guy he talks to is "Arthur Hermanstein" (might be spelled wrong, name isn't shown on screen), I can find no search results on google for anywhere including "Lauderville, PA"…

The "probability expert" that is interviewed "Milo Kamdermann" can not be found anywhere else with a google search, besides mentions of this stupid video…

The only thing I can find for the "body language expert" "Melinda Farraday" is that Melinda Farraday is character on the TV show Castle…

None of their "experts" actually exist.

Geminisunmars November 28, 2011 at 6:19 pm

Georgia Woman Claims 13-Year Affair with Herman Cain http://www.myfoxatlanta.com/dpp/news/ginger-white...

Late this afternoon, Cain’s attorney, Len Wood, sent FOX 5 the following statement:
Mr. Cain has been informed today that your television station plans to broadcast a story this evening in which a female will make an accusation that she engaged in a 13-year long physical relationship with Mr. Cain. This is not an accusation of harassment in the workplace – this is not an accusation of an assault – which are subject matters of legitimate inquiry to a political candidate.

Rather, this appears to be an accusation of private, alleged consensual conduct between adults – a subject matter which is not a proper subject of inquiry by the media or the public. No individual, whether a private citizen, a candidate for public office or a public official, should be questioned about his or her private sexual life. The public's right to know and the media's right to report has boundaries and most certainly those boundaries end outside of one's bedroom door.

BlackDashboard November 28, 2011 at 8:03 pm

Any bets on how long Cain jerked off in glee when the Flowers thing came out about Clinton?

Stubenville November 28, 2011 at 9:07 pm

Unless you're gay, lesbian or liberal. Then we'll tell any reporter who will listen.

PalinzADummy November 29, 2011 at 2:40 am

Actually, it's rather yellow.

flamingpdog November 29, 2011 at 2:57 am

So it's only high yellow blacks that eat the Mac 'n Cheese?

PalinzADummy November 29, 2011 at 4:25 pm

Question: Does anybody else find the term "high yellow" offensive? I'm not Black (as I've said before, and I'm saying it again in case anyone missed it) but I find the term offensive. However, it's not for me to take offense at something that doesn't really pertain to me. So, I'd like to ask you, and anyone else who bothers to read this: Do YOU find this term offensive? If so, why? If not, why not? Thanks very much for your *considered* response.

BlackDashboard November 28, 2011 at 8:11 pm

I'm not completely up on my wingnut conspiracy theories, but this means that Bob Casey is the secret love-child of Jimi Hendrix and Malcolm X, right?

In Kenya, also too.

chascates November 28, 2011 at 10:11 pm

Herman Cain interviewed by Wolf Blitzer (via Politico)
“This individual’s going to accuse me of an affair for an extended period of time. I don’t want to specify because I don’t know what’s in the story. Secondly, it is someone that I know who is an acquaintance that I thought was a friend,” Cain told Blitzer.

Cain, however, declined to say that White was lying.
“Let’s see what the story will be,” he said. “I don’t want to be pinned down with things until we know what the story will be.”

From WashPost:
The Cain campaign was alerted to the accusation by the television reporter, who had interviewed White over the weekend. White gave the reporter Cain’s private cellphone number — which appeared 61 times on her phone records over four months. When the reporter sent a text message to the number, Cain called back and said he knew White but had not had an affair with her.

SayItWithWookies November 28, 2011 at 10:28 pm

“Let’s see what the story will be,” he said. “I don’t want to be pinned down with things until we know what the story will be.”

In other words, "I don't wanna issue a denial until I know exactly which one of the damn liars out there is accusing me this time."

RadiosTyrone November 28, 2011 at 10:37 pm

Wooks, he literally said it could be a thousands of different people.
And every one of the accusations is nothing more than a racist attack.

SayItWithWookies November 28, 2011 at 11:20 pm

This really shows that he's got the character to be president — anybody who can stand up in front of the entire country and call a woman he's had a 13-year affair with, and women he's worked with and supposedly respects, liars while doing the math to know that he's going to have to say this about tons of other women — well, he's definitely got the spirit for the long, drawn-out, hellish litany of disasters that a Cain administration would inevitably bring on.

Also, I am fed-up wit two of the Rights favorite terms The "failed stimulus" FUCKING WORKED! The only "fail" was it wasn't big enough because so greedy, stingy Republicans. Also, your greedy 1%ers that should pay more taxes are NOT Job Fucking Creators or they would have created some jobs when Shrub was President.

Haven't watched the video, but Bobby and Barry had a legendary bromance during the 2008 primaries. I'm talking about a Burt & Ernie-level bromance. They couldn't keep each other's hands off one another. And like all bromances, it was both endearing and a little bit weird. lol

EDIT: Watching the video. Awesome production value. What a vulgar waste of money, though.

I realize the Oirish have different esthetic standards, but srsly, a choice between Baby Casey and Baby Bamz? I would so run off with Baby Bamz, even if I can't tell one end of a baby from the other (a loud noise at one end and no social responsibility at the other, I know).

I'll let the surviving fatty know. (No, they're not big-boned. 23 lb is not big-boned, especially not when your stomach leaves a swept track on the deck.)

natoslug November 29, 2011 at 11:27 am

I use a Golden Retar-, er, Retriever to sweep my deck. He doesn't do a great job of it. Maybe it's time to switch to Maine Coons. How hard is it to pull redwood debris out of their coats? Or are they small enough to just toss in the washer when full?

PalinzADummy November 29, 2011 at 4:14 pm

I have a friend who has a rescued Golden. Damn, those dogs are dumb! Sweet as fuck-all, but dumber than a fence post. Personally, I think it's the Blonde Gene (apologies to any blondes out there). It seems to correlate to the Brainlessness Gene. At least our red/ginger kitties are stupider than dirt.

I wouldn't even TRY to pull redwood debris out of their coats. Dogs are pretty good-natured, and if you want to subdue one, just grab 'em in a scissor grip between the legs and stick a muzzle on 'em, you're done. Cats have TWENTY blood-shedding, skin-ripping pointy endz plus a mouthful of fangs that could send you to the emergency room with a serious bone infection (the worst damage a dogbite will do is break skin and maybe a small bone, if you're unlucky). And they don't like Hoominz mucking about with their coats. Fortunately, Maine Coons tend to be sweet and affectionate creatures. Also, washers: DISTINCTLY a not-good idea. We tried bathing one of ours when he held a pine-sap-fest party. We still have scars. ALL of us.

PalinzADummy November 29, 2011 at 4:29 pm

I promise to pepperspray them if I ever meet them. (I'll be discreet. I'll let them provoke me and get it on videotape.)

Meanwhile, here's an affectionate hug. Sorry such a shitty thing happened to ya. On the *plus* side, you're better off without such a cold, calculating cunt. Let's hope you meet someone wonderful soon, and she moves in.

Biff November 29, 2011 at 4:41 pm

Thanks for having my back. I odn't much blame anyone, though. I know I'm damaged, lucky to be alive after the abuse I heaped upon myself, and I guess I've done the best I could putting the pieces of me back together.

PalinzADummy November 29, 2011 at 5:45 pm

I think most of us here are the same, my friend. Damaged in parts, but the center's still good. You're here, you're a good human being (or you'd be tossing the foreclosed out for a living), and you've got us. Can't ask for more.

Did you see what Mrs. ShitFilledExistence's boy did today? Why don't you ever show that kind of gumption?

not that Dewey November 29, 2011 at 10:59 pm

Just lazy, I guess. Besides, I have my own Conjecture to worry about these days.

user-of-owls November 30, 2011 at 12:13 am

Well it's a start. But I bet that nice ShitFilledExistence boy is already working on a Corollary. Did I tell you he got early admission at that prestigious University of Phoenix that everyone's talking about?

not that Dewey November 30, 2011 at 12:26 am

Well, whoop-de-do. I'm sure he'll be a struggling cess pool cleaner successful hedge fund manager in no time.

ShitFilledExistence November 30, 2011 at 1:37 am

First off, it's 'she', and secondly, maybe you guys should be working on a Formulary to test which drugs would calm you the fuck down. Sheesh.

ShitFilledExistence November 30, 2011 at 1:52 am

Don't hold back on the snide remarks!

user-of-owls November 30, 2011 at 1:11 pm

Dewey, did you hear??

Mrs. ShitFilledExistence's boy is a ho-mo-sex-ual!

ShitFilledExistence November 30, 2011 at 1:34 pm

Must really bother you not to have a vagina… Are you saving up for the operation?

user-of-owls November 30, 2011 at 3:26 pm

Hey amiga, no malice intended. Au contraire, I was tickled by your crafty hookworm subversion! And the follow-up was a tease of dear friend Dew as well as an indirect paean to your deed. Sorry if I caused offense.

ShitFilledExistence November 30, 2011 at 3:45 pm

I guess I, uh, read that wrong.. Way wrong. My apologies–I'm a sensitive smoking baby.

user-of-owls November 30, 2011 at 5:21 pm

Well you are smokin', baby.

Palinz, sorry didn't mean to offend, it was just snark. The term "high yellow" may be offensive, but it refers to a real, well-documented historic problem within the African-American community. I'm as white as they come myself, but I spent my formative years from kindergarten through 9th grade attending cira 40% to almost completely African-American-populated schools in southeast Washington D. C., and I personally observed lighter-colored A-A kids insult their darker-hued classmates by calling them, "You black nigger, you!" Again, I apologize for offending you, brother.

Pdog, *you* don't offend me, man, you're my good buddy. The *term* offends me, which is a whole different kettle. But see, I'm not a black person, so I have no business determining what is OK and what is offensive when it comes to Black culture. And I was hoping to hear what Black people think of the term. So, no offense taken, I know none was intended.

I grew up hearing all that shit 24/7. It's not only the Black community that treats dark skin as the Mark of Cain, so to speak. I think white imperialism did that to us dark-skinned people, made us think of ourselves as less. My grandmother and my mother were both very dark, and I never heard them say one positive thing about dark skin. (And they were always trashing nappy hair, which was pretty damn cheeky of them, seeing as they didn't have it and had never seen it in their lives.) I'm sort of lighter brown, but my sister's quite dark, and she used to get called "blackie" a lot as a kid. So I wonder how Black people feel about the term "high yellow," or, as most everyone seems to pronounce it, "high yaller."
