campaign ads

BACHMANN TO ADDRESS NATION: Ah, this is a typical thing people do when they are UTTERLY FREAKING OUT about their entire careers: “Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.) has taped an advertisement apologizing for her televised comments calling Barack Obama anti-American, according to a Republican source familiar with her campaign’s decision.” It is still staggering that this [...]

Mitch McConnell has had a few iffy polls in the last few weeks for his Senate re-election bid in Kentucky, so now he’s cold rampin’ up the attacks on his Democratic opponent, “Lunsford.” In this ad, he hammers Lunsford by… uhh… calling Chuck Schumer a filthy Jew for a full minute. Sure, why not? [YouTube]

RNC’s New Ad Fails In Several Ways

by Jim Newell  11:04 am September 30, 2008

Here’s a new ad from those wacky jesters over at the RNC. It attacks Barack Obama for supporting the bailout that the House approved yesterday. Yes, that’s right: two (2) problems here. John McCain supported the bailout and, according to the man himself, made other House Republicans vote for it. And the bailout, as you [...]

This new Republican National Senatorial Committee ad against Minnesota candidate Al Franken calls him a rape-lover who loves to rape white women or really rape anything; rapes boys, rapes pandas, even rapes himself when he’s out of other things to rape. Rape rape rape rape raper rap erp rae peraraep. The rape ad tells us [...]

Walnuts’ new ad, “Dome,” warns the American people that Barack Obama will grow the size of the actual U.S. Capitol to cover the whole eastern seaboard. He will do this with steroids. And then this Obama will go to your house and FUCKING SMOTHER YOUR WHITE CHILDREN TO DEATH. Ha ha, good! All kids deserve [...]

Here’s a budget commercial for a small-town plumbing and carpentry business… oh no it’s a political ad! And it’s Sarah Palin’s first political ad, in fact, from her mayoral campaign in the global city of Wasilla. The background music is some cheap ’70s parlor jazz straight out of your favorite wood-paneled cocktail lounge, and Sarah [...]

GAHHHH!!! Sweet crickets, Mister “Senator” Gordon Smith, you are scarier than eight Oregon rapists combined with this ad. [WSJ]

Oooh, Barack Obama put out a TUFF ad today calling John McCain’s terrible lies “dishonorable.” This is a code word designed to set off sensors in John McCain’s brain and make him lose his Legendary Temper, because he cares so much about honor that he finds it dishonorable to be asked to define it. The [...]

Here’s the stupidest piece of fucking bullshit the McCain campaign has released since, well, that last one that said Barack Obama molests 4-year-olds in the ass. It’s kind of funny, though, watching people across the Internet wail about how this ad IS NOT TRUTHFUL!!!1!, because what’s the point? Why even bother fact-checking a McCain ad? [...]

Beware. John McCain’s BRUTAL NO-HOLDS-BARRED RESPONSE AD OF DEATH about TONY REZKO is out, and you better be SCARED. Ha ha just kidding, it sucks. The ad distills Obama’s naive but benign relationship with Rezko into a more familiar, corrupt politician’s narrative: (1) Rezko bought Obama a house, so (2) Obama returned the favor by [...]

The McCain people are pretty hopped up on steroids today and are issuing some tuff talk after this morning’s delightful housing kerfuffle. They’re putting the finishing touches on an ad about Obama’s “slum landlord” friend Tony Rezko, a topic they claim to have avoided before today, when Obama supposedly “opened the door” to this sort [...]

Many of us freaked out today when John McCain voiced this unusual piece of his mind: “I think it’s very clear that Russian ambitions are to restore the old Russian Empire. Not the Soviet Union, but the Russian Empire.” How does anyone arrive at that after reading about the situation between Russia and Georgia? Jesus. [...]

Oh that wacky Paris Hilton, seizing on the moment. Here she is wearing a creepy swimming gown and responding to John McCain’s dumb ad about her in an internet video from some comedy website we’ve never heard of. Top story on Drudge? Mission accomplished, obviously. [Funny Or Die]

Good god, what is that…thing? It’s your hopelessly deformed John McCain, cursed by elephantiasis of the Truck Nutz, but he will bravely save America with his Original Maverickness.

Oh man, this ad is so much better than “Celeb.” While that last one was creepy, this one is funny (or rather, “less creepy”), and expensive-looking, and has an upbeat soundtrack, and says all sorts of nice things about Barack Obama! Also, McCain *finally* admits that Barack Obama freed the Jews from Egypt back when [...]
