Next entry: Deranged McCain/Palin mob in Strongsville, OH; campaign caters to this base with new ‘Ayers’ ad Previous entry: John McCain’s rage - a national security concern

The Known Seven

imageThe crazy over Barack Obama has reached newer, sweatier levels than ever before.  Is he a Maoist?  A Socialist?  The Sexiest? 

Of course, as fetid a fever swamp as the National Review is, few can ever hold a candle when Hugh Hewitt decides to fully engage his thug thizzle:

The argument about the disastrous economic policies being pushed by Obama must be made by McCain every day going forward even as the campaign continues to hammer Obama for his past judgment and future inclinations when it comes to allies and associates.  Ayers-Rezko-Wright-Khalidi are part of a pattern that would certainly follow into the staffing of trhe vast federal establishment.  The Daily Kos-Michael Moore wing of the Democratic Party wants its pages from the Plum Book, and the Pelosi-Reid staffers have all got their Assistant Secretary offices picked out. The Left is planning for a huge sweep, and a big party, and…

So, all that John McCain has to do is, in three and a half weeks, connect Barack Obama to Bill Ayers, Tony Rezko, Jeremiah Wright, Rashid Khalidi, Markos Moulitsas Zuniga, Michael Moore, Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid in a devastating 30-second spot, despite the fact that the American people are probably (if you’re feeling charitable) only familiar with two of those seven people.  He then has to convince us that despite his often tenuous connections to these people, he will staff the entire government with their clones, like they’re Cylons.  In fact, it would probably help if John McCain just spent his last remaining campaign dollars sending the first three seasons of Battlestar Galactica to persuadable voters in swing states, with a hundred page guide informing you that Bill Ayers is totally Leoben

Did I mention that I have no idea who I’m voting for, and that I have Blu-Ray?  Just saying.

Me too! Me too! Persuade *me*. Although I don’t have Blu-ray. Just saying’.

Beth, if I get a DVD version, I’ll forward it on to you.

Comment #2: Jesse Taylor  on  10/09  at  10:16 AM

I’m sure the Kos connection will do it.  Nothing like being connected to a Hispanic, ex-Army, DFH, Librul to show you’re really a Marxist (or is it Maoist?) bent on destroying America.

And of course, the devastatingly popular An America Carol has reminded everyone (again) how truly diabolical Michael Moore really is.  McCain is our last chance to save Freedom and Liberty!

Obama should just pack it up now.  Stick a fork in him, he’s done…

(BTW, if Obama wins, will the spell-checkers in Firefox and Chrome finally add his name to the dictionary?  Goddamit, that pisses me off…)

the Pelosi-Reid staffers have all got their Assistant Secretary offices picked out.

Under all the braying, this is the stuff that really concerns me.

Yes, it’s true.  Highly placed Democratic congressional staffers   and “inner party” members are probably going to *GASP* get jobs in an Obama administration!!!11!!  I hear Obama probably doesn’t even plan to put any Republicans on his cabinet, or appoint any conservative federal judges!  I’ve also heard that many of Obama’s policy ideas are politically moderate, and some sound almost liberal!  WTF is the world coming to when these DEM-RATS think that just because they win a few elections they get to have an influence on American politics?!

I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again.  We’re on the road to a one-party system if we don’t watch out.

Also, can I say I’m most of the way through season 2.5, and goddammit they really need to reveal some new cylons.  I’m getting so bored of the blond one.  (please no spoilers…)

Comment #5: The Opoponax  on  10/09  at  10:30 AM

No, you are not being charitable to say two of the seven; most Americans have heard of Michael Moore and Jeremiah Wright.  I dare say most have even heard of either Pelosi or Reid, though they may not remember why, just that the GOP says they are scary bad.

Comment #6: Helen H  on  10/09  at  10:31 AM

I actually don’t agree that most Americans are familiar with Wright.  They may have heard “Obama has this scary black pastor who is, like, mega-racist against white people or something scary like that, I saw something about it on CNN one time when I was flipping channels between VH-1 Classic and E!” 

But even my most scary-conservative relatives, oddly enough, don’t seem to remember the guy’s name. 

The thing with Wright, in the end, is that he’s already reached full saturation.  The people who care about that sort of thing already know about it.  Any more just makes the McCain campaign look desperate.

It’s more than that—sure, Obama’s got Wright, but McCain and Palin have pastors who make Wright look positively pedestrian. I think that on some level, they know that they can’t win a battle over who’s got the craziest religious buddies.

Comment #8: Incertus, Nacho Daddy  on  10/09  at  10:47 AM

Hell, I’m waiting for the FF spell checker to recognize “didn’t” (or any other “n’t” contraction).

Comment #9: Lefty  on  10/09  at  10:55 AM

I’ve already seen commercials here in Iowa with linking Obama with Reid and Schumer and other liberals in Congress. The funny thing is, though, they don’t mention those two by name - just show their pictures.

Comment #10: Dweeze  on  10/09  at  11:06 AM

So.  We have a candidate who became loosely associated with somebody who was said to have been involved with bombs during the sixties, was never convicted, and then turned his life around quite respectably.

On the other side, we have a candidate who dropped a whole lot of napalm and bombs during the 1960s, who was actively involved in a front organization that covered illegal arms sales to Iran and money sent to foreign terrorist organizations, was heavily involved in the last meltdown of the financial industry, and covered his wife’s needle tracks with a diplomatic passport.

Gee, black man is scary!

Curiously similar to one of the “commercials” discussed in a SNL skit from a few weeks ago It’s not letting me embed it, but I have the video posted on my blog

Comment #12: ol cranky  on  10/09  at  11:27 AM

I love you for the Battlestar reference, and I would totally, totally sell out to get the first three seasons. 

Do you think that Ayers has the same weird sexual obsession with Obama that Leoben did for Starbuck?

Comment #13: Atheist Feminazi  on  10/09  at  11:57 AM

The Opoponax: I’m afraid you’re going to have to wait until the end of Season 3 - but it’s worth it. I had to go downstairs to get my jaw back.

Comment #14: Dunc  on  10/09  at  12:02 PM

That would make the three hidden cylons we know of as Warren Buffett, Chuck Hagel and T. Boone Pickens.

Amazingly, the Fourth Hidden Cylon?  The one we’ve been waiting years to find out?

David Petreus!

McCain will flush himself out an airlock.

So say we all.

Comment #15: Hawes  on  10/09  at  12:12 PM

Hey, remember my “no spoilers” request?

I think I might have to stay out of this thread.

Comment #16: The Opoponax  on  10/09  at  12:15 PM

Try hard not to notice the seam running up the back of McSame’s head, okay?

Comment #17: Ms Kate  on  10/09  at  12:35 PM

Of course, the fact that McCain looks just like Saul Tigh would just confuse everyone.

Comment #18: Tom  on  10/09  at  12:35 PM

Spoiler: She’s not a real blond.

Comment #19: Phoenician in a time of Romans  on  10/09  at  01:00 PM

What the hell is Blu-Ray?

Comment #20: NancyP  on  10/09  at  01:04 PM

Yeah, I’ve already seen the sorta brunette-ish version that Baltar rescues.  But I think of her as “the blond one” because that’s the main way we’ve seen her up to now.

Comment #21: The Opoponax  on  10/09  at  01:05 PM

Are the two people Michael Moore and Nancy Pelosi?  That’s my gues, anyway.

Comment #22: lonespark  on  10/09  at  02:26 PM

Doesn’t the Pandagon staff ever get jealous at all this Old Media attention being paid to Markos and his site?  This site is EASILY more left wing than DK, and you’ve got one of them thar feminazis posting all that crazy man-hating reproductive “rights” stuff every week, plus all the fag talk and NEGROES.

I’ve been reading DK every day since the ‘04 elections, but my visits there have been far fewer now that I’ve found Pandagon.  Comparatively, DK no longer has the requisite front page demographic make-up I need to make me feel like I’m not alone. raspberry

Oh c’mon, six out of twelve ain’t bad.

I guess I’m going to have to work harder at my throw-away one-liners.

Comment #25: Phoenician in a time of Romans  on  10/09  at  06:15 PM

Wait, wait: aren’t we supposed to connect him to Kevin Bacon, too?

Comment #26: hbsweet, empress of ice cream  on  10/09  at  11:54 PM

(Scary music)

Senator Obama and Senator McCain have been part of… the Senate. Can you trust McCain, a man who works with a man who worked with Ayers? What’s more, while Obama was innocently going to school, McCain was involved in violence and bombings at the same time Ayers was involved in bombings.

Trust Sarah Palin. She’ll be able to shoot down ANY terrorist president from a helicopter with her wolf-hunting gun. And she doesn’t even know what the U.S. Senate does.

I’m Fulla Snark and I approved this message.

Comment #27: Samantha Vimes  on  10/10  at  12:12 AM

I’m confused. If McCain’s cancer is coming back, why is Palin taking kamala extract?

Comment #28: serena kitt  on  10/10  at  01:04 AM

Serena is now elected Mayor of the World.
