Focus has its knickers in a twist over Obama’s faith-based initiative plan AND his stance on marriage equality. How about that, considering all the sparring we’ve been doing about those two subjects?

While I realize that Focus On The Family is primarily composed of the Republican base, people who would never in a million years vote for Obama even if he were a white candidate who toed the line more on Republican framing of the issues, I think this just goes to show that Dems pandering to conservative voters isn’t necessarily the best idea.

Though I still think Obama’s ‘faith baised’ proposal is probably the biggest coup for any Democrat in recent electoral history.  Phrase it so that the Soccer Dads (or whoever) think it’s along the lines of Bush’s initiatives, except really it’s scaling back to pre-Bush norms.

just finished the first one and does anyone have a link to the whole commercial? They kept cutting it off, so i’m really wondering what (if anything) it went on to say.

If *I* had done those spots it would have been *genius* satire.  That’s how sad funnymentals are.

The second video contains an unbelievable bit of contortion when the conservative host talks about the liberal strategy of projection.

The right, the kings of projection, are now projecting projection onto the left.

Mr. FlawlessLocalRadioVoice wouldn’t know “ordinary people” if they bit rear-ended him at a stoplight, yanked him from behind his steering wheel and bit him on his dimpled white ass. Which is probably what he thinks homosexuals are gonna do if they’re allowed to marry.

As a frequent visitor to Colorado Springs, I think this slice of faux-jovial exurban know-nothingism testifies to the unreality of the place. Clean-cut Christians and clueless libertarians in a circle jerk of homo- and diverso-phobia. The local paper is STILL pro-Bush. Bumper stickers are the zenith of political rhetoric. Rush Limbaugh’s show is on three local AMs.  Dobson found a home in CSprings when the city council hadn’t given him a prime, tax-break handjob.

Someday, that town will grow up.  But I ain’t holding my breath.

(Shepard actually tries floating that one)

Well, Dobson’s certainly a floater.  (The toilet-bowl variety, that is.)

You win for creativity there, Mediajunk.

well, i guess that’s what happens when you get too old to be a youth minister anymore.
