Obama message to McCain: Stop hiding behind Palin's SKIRT!
don't you wish he'd say that?

is it sexist?

who cares, cause it's true, isn't it?

isn't he standing behind her at every rally, fiddling with that inconvenient wedding ring, looking very uncomfortable, realizing that the STAR of the campaign is no longer the war 'hero,' the PO Dubya, but the new, rising Mooselini?

when are they going to realize that this is a fight to the finish, and, with that vile sex ed ad, that the pugs don't care how low they sink, so why not join the fight, and start playing at their level?

look how they howled with faux outrage at a remark McCain himself made?

give them something they can really SQUEAL about


OINK

1. from Daily Kos, on the systematic lies emanating from McCain, and the need to make it an issue:
http://www.dailykos.com/story/2008/9/7/154528/0935/712/590175

here's a start, but needs to lose the 'for the bridge before she was against it lamo':

concentrate on the LYING

make it the central issue of the campaign and force the MEDIA to deal with it, as well as the pugs

3. Don't say anything about a SKIRT
As I said earlier today in a different post, he is using her as a human shield. That's not sexist and it's much catchier. In fact I see John Aravosis is saying that now too. It would definelty stick with the media.

4. Silly! He's not hiding behind it -- he's trying to look up it.
I think we should start checking him to see if he has mirrors on his shoes. :rofl:

5. it's sexist to think a "skirt" is impervious to attack
Edited on Wed Sep-10-08 02:33 PM by tandem5
Our democratic ticket seems to be taking off their metaphorical feathered cavalier hats, bowing, and deferring to the lady's "wit." If McCain can hide behind polyester print calling him on it only highlights the antiquity of our ticket's approach to politics.

6. Carville said something similiar about Obama back during the primaries.
So maybe one of Obama's surrogates should do it?

10. the point is to HIT them where they, uh....squeal! whatever they react to with the most
outrage is what hurts them the most

going after Walnuts' manly manhood will surely provoke an interesting response, along PO Dubya status lines, I'll bet, further diluting his strongest identification factor

I know this isn't going to happen, cause they don't have the nerve to provoke on this level, but one can wish

19. More along the same line:


"You want the best route? Here it is: emasculate John McCain. Use Palin to cut his nuts off. Constantly say shit like, "Am I running against John McCain or Sarah Palin?" or "If the Republicans wanted her to be president, they should have nominated her" or "Maybe Republicans are used to a vice president that runs the show" or whatever. Make McCain have to defend himself. Turn him into Palin's bitch. It'll make him insane. And if there's one thing that Republicans hate most about women, it's the perception of the castrating bitch telling men what to do. "

bvar22 endorses this line of attack

20. The rude pundit got it right....
....Obama has to emasculate McCain and make him look "pussified" by Palin....


http://rudepundit.blogspot.com/

The Rude Pundit - Note To Barack Obama: Use the Sex Ad to Destroy These Fuckers

Did you see this shit? This fuckin' ad that the McCain campaign put out that says that Barack Obama wants children to learn about sex "before learning to read." It's about a bill that Obama supported in Illinois that simply added information about sexually-transmitted diseases to the standards for teaching sex education. That's it. Now, the McCain campaign has latched onto this attack, first raised in this election cycle by Alan "Crazy Eyes" Keyes, and added into it an image of a leering Obama at the end, looking like your creepy neighbor who touches your kids too much. (That image is used again in the "Lipstick" ad regarding Obama's "lipstick on a pig" remark.)

As others have pointed out, it's time to get mad. It's time for Bill Clinton-style finger wagging; it's time for b-ball Obama to rear his head.

We know the game here, the racial politics, the fear of sex that's rampant on the right. John McCain has finally released his rage and hatred, and it is a sight to behold. Watching McCain unleashed is like watching a starving tiger in a pen of gazelle. It ain't gonna be pretty. The Rude Pundit imagines McCain seeing the faces of his captors in everyone he looks at, and he's got a bayonet.

Unless the Obama campaign starts throwing shit at McCain, it will be over. Yeah, Obama wants to change politics, but ask anyone who has ever tried to subvert a system: you gotta do it from the inside. And if you cringe at the idea of Obama stepping into the muck and mire of post-Atwater poltics, then ask yourself: will he get more done by keeping his shoes clean and losing?

The truly aggravating thing is watching opportunity after opportunity pass by the Obama campaign. Here's some advice to them: you are not living in subtle times. You are living in an era in our nation where people only react if you use a fucking mallet, not a stiletto, to get your point across. The choice of Sarah Palin as a running mate was a brilliant read of the national zeitgeist. She's like the winner of America's Next Top Model, not a qualified politician, and as such, idiot America thinks they relate.

So, dear Obama campaign, you have to use the word "lie." You wanna make an ad about the Bridge to Nowhere? Call McCain and Palin's assertions "lies." People don't give a fuck about "exaggerations" or "misleading statements." That's lawyer talk. Don't you get it, you stupid fucks? You call the Bridge to Nowhere statement or the plane-on-E-bay line a lie, you say it everywhere you and your people go, and then the McCain campaign has to prove it's not a fucking lie. That's the way this cocksucking game works. The honorable part is in not being a fucking liar yourself.

Goddamnit. Every fucking election the Rude Pundit can remember the word "lie" has been out there, low fruit, ready to be plucked, but the Democratic candidates are just too pussified to reach for it. John Kerry went down in flames because he didn't call out liars.

And it's not only the issue of lying. Go after their personal weaknesses. You should be making ads that imply McCain is too old to be president. And if you're criticized for it, you gotta say, "I think it's up to Senator McCain to demonstrate he has the necessary energy for this job."

Stay angry. Again: The McCain campaign just said that Barack Obama wants to teach 6 year-olds how to fuck. That deserves a little more of a response than it's "perverse" or whatever shit the Obama campaign just put out.

You want the best route? Here it is: emasculate John McCain. Use Palin to cut his nuts off. Constantly say shit like, "Am I running against John McCain or Sarah Palin?" or "If the Republicans wanted her to be president, they should have nominated her" or "Maybe Republicans are used to a vice president that runs the show" or whatever. Make McCain have to defend himself. Turn him into Palin's bitch. It'll make him insane. And if there's one thing that Republicans hate most about women, it's the perception of the castrating bitch telling men what to do (see all the shit about Hillary Clinton).

In other words, Obama campaign, as so many others have advised, go on offense, and that means you have to offend.

21. Isn't that the obvious strategy?
She is the campainer.
She will probably be good at it given her experience in broadcast journalism.
This is nothing new in politics.

Also keep in mind not everyone is glued to cable news 24\7. Most people get bored enough with politics that they don't know she is repeating her speeches.

Don't underestimate her or the selection itself.
They are not stupid.
