Imagining McCain Attack Ads By Hollywood Directors2008 Election, David Lynch, Diablo Cody, Film, Hollywood, Jason Reitman, John McCain, John Woo, Kevin Smith, M. Night Shyamalan, Political Commercials, Wes AndersonThe second batch (David Lynch and M. Night Shyamalan) is much better than the first. I think of myself as a cinemaphile, but I had no idea who Diablo Cody, Jason Reitman, Kevin Smith, and Wes Anderson were. Once I looked them up, I had at least heard of their films. Second batch: Diablo Cody/Jason Reitman David Lynch, M. Night Shyamalan 4:11 video First batch: John Woo, Kevin Smith, Wes Anderson 3:18 video Why not Quentin Tarrantino and the Coen Brothers? Via LabRat. Hat tip to Karen L. Myers. 13 Oct 2008

Obama Campaign Thuggery Continues2008 Election, Barack Obama, Hackers, Hacking, MacRanger, MacsMind, Political Commercials, Technology, The Blogosphere
Obama campaign supporters’ thuggish efforts to suppress criticism of Obama have progressed to the level of hacking attacks (using “sql bombs”) on prominent conservative blogs like Macsmind, published by Jack Moss, who signs his posts “MacRanger.” Moss is a journalist and lecturer, retired from a professional military career focused on Intelligence and Logistics, who writes commonly on Intelligence and Defense issues as well as politics. Gateway Pundit has the story.
MacRanger’s temporary site is here. MacRanger believed the hacking attacks were in response to this political ad criticizing Obama’s avowed policy of unilateral disarmament. 0:51 video 26 Sep 2008
Obama Fights Back with Threats of Censorship and Lies2008 Election, Barack Obama, Gun Control, National Rifle Association, Political CommercialsThe Obama campaign’s attempt to respond to a National Rifle Association attack ad with dishonest quibbling combined with attempts at intimidation through use of government regulatory power provides an alarming sample of what a future Obama administration’s governing style might be like. Allahpundit has the video and details. It seems astonishing that democrat campaign professionals are so willing to believe that sportsmen and gun owners can be bamboozled by a few disingenuous protestations of support for a right to private gun ownership which has actually been a dead-letter in Obama’s home state of Illinois for years. Obama has been consistently a supporter of the sort of gun ownership rights (from his point of view) currently regrettably still in legal existence, temporarily representing the residuum of private liberty awaiting elimination via future regulatory measures not yet presently politically achievable. 12 Sep 2008
B. Hussein Goes on the Offensive2008 Election, Barack Obama, John McCain, Political Commercials, Spore, TechnologyAttacking John McCain as so 1980s with the 0:31 ad accusing him of being unable to send an email. If I were Rick Davis and managing John McCain’s campaign, I’d whip up an ad showing McCain beating a couple of youthful geeks in a computer game. Hint: Spore just came out. 12 Sep 2008
“Disrespectful”2008 Election, Barack Obama, John McCain, Political Commercials, Sarah PalinThis McCain 0:31 campaign ad uses Obama campaign attacks on Sarah Palin as its theme. Not tightly focused or pointed enough, in my opinion, but it glances over some effective memes. 10 Sep 2008
CBS Forces McCain Reply Off YouTube2008 Election, Barack Obama, CBS, John McCain, Media Bias, Political Commercials, The Mainstream Media, YouTubeThe McCain Campaign produced a web-ad response to Senator Obama’s “lipstick on a pig” remark. The ad used to be linked by Real Clear Politics to YouTube, but clicking on the button or the actual link will only get you this message: This video is no longer available due to a copyright claim by CBS Interactive Inc. CBS actually is so in the tank for Obama that it would stoop to interfere with a 30 second video rebuttal. Pathetic. UPDATE Ben Smith quotes CBS’s explanation for its censoring the McCain ad:
—————————————————————- You can’t see the ad right now, but the McCain Campaign did publish its script here. It goes:

McCain Campaign’s New 3 AM Ad2008 Election, Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, John McCain, Political CommercialsRecycles a line by Hillary. 0:32 video 25 Aug 2008
Charity Begins at Home2008 Election, Barack Obama, Kenya, Political CommercialsThe Republican Party of Texas produced this anti-Obama ad, which I think makes a very telling point. 0:33 video 23 Aug 2008
Do You Know Enough…?2008 Election, Barack Obama, Political Commercials, Terrorism, Weathermen, William AyersEffective anti-Obama ad highlighting his Bill Ayers connection. Now running in Virginia. 1:01 video 22 Aug 2008
Battle of the House Ads2008 Election, Antoin Rezko, Barack Obama, John McCain, Political CommercialsObama says McCain forgot how many houses he owns, and he owns seven houses. 0:30 video McCain replies mentioning Antoin Rezko assisting Obama buy his house: 0:30 video Actually, it’s John McCain’s wife and her family trusts which own 8, not 7, residences, of which some are only condos used by her children and by an elderly relative. John McCain spent five years in a Vietnamese prison cell undergoing torture. When he got out, he came home and married the proverbial passionate rich blonde whose father owned a beer distributorship. The universe has a way of seeing to it that things even out. If I were Barack Obama, and I’d acquired a $1.65 million mansion with the aid of a sinister figure recently convicted for political corruption, I’d stay away from discussing houses. 06 Aug 2008
Paris Hilton Responds to John McCain2008 Election, John McCain, Paris Hilton, Political Commercials, Satire, VideosParis Hilton was evidently piqued by John McCain using her in a recent campaign video, so she’s responding with her own 1:49 video reply. ————————————-

The Post-Racial Candidate?2008 Election, Barack Obama, Political Commercials, Racial Politics
Shelby Steele recently identified the implicit deal that made Barack Obama’s candidacy so appealing to ordinary white Americans outside the democrat party base: Elect Obama the first American black president, and the country finally has officially moved beyond racial politics and racial grievances.
Well, that theory certainly didn’t last very long. The McCain campaign produced one little tiny 32 second advertisement, making the at-this-point pretty obvious charge that Barack Obama is running for the presidency as a media-manufactured pop star celebrity and lacks substance, and Obama, stung for the first time by McCain, plays the race card. It’s beyond pathetic, isn’t it? When it was politically advantageous Barack Obama was the post-racial candidate, but one effective opposition ad that hits home and he goes running for the shelter of his certified victim group membership immunity. 31 Jul 2008
McCain Celeb Ad2008 Election, Barack Obama, John McCain, Political CommercialsI had so many computer problems recently: dying server, installing programs on new PC, Photoshop hanging on OPEN (Solution: you just hit ESCAPE) that I didn’t have time to see this new anti-Obama celeb ad yesterday. 0:32 video The left is angry at having the latest avatar of the great God Osiris compared to Paris Hilton, but I thought myself it was too short and not nearly pointed enough. ——————————————————- This idiot is peddling a bunch of moonbat guano about how the McCain celeb ad is really a covert attack on miscegenation. Liberals love using racism as a gotcha! weapon so much that they readily lose all touch with reality in their eagerness to play the race card. Michael Shaw goes even crazier at Huffpo. He writes so badly that it isn’t easy to figure out what he’s raving about, but he seems to be suggesting that John McCain has incorporated subliminal images designed to brainwash Americans into assassinating Obama. I used to think Huffington Post was a fairly responsible outlet for “Progressive” opinion. ——————————————————- Carrie Budoff Brown sees the ad as part of a growing pattern of arrogance/vanity jokes at Obama’s expense.

New Obama Ad2008 Election, Barack Obama, Political Commercials, VideosVia Marc Ambinder. 0:30 video From Moveon.org. Chic, witty, and featuring Tara from Buffy, but do you really want to compare what your candidate is peddling to a Venereal Disease? You need to see this one in order to be ready to enjoy the parodies to come. 18 Jun 2008
No Deal2008 Election, Barack Obama, Democrats, Hillary Clinton, Political CommercialsHere’s an anti-Obama attack video, featuring a nice assortment of Obama’s gaffes and misstatements, made by disgruntled Hillary supporters. 9:46 video who describe themselves as “a coalition of millions” (possibly a slight overstatement), and have a web-site and logo: Right on. You go, girls. Hat tip to SusanUnPC. 22 May 2008

Anti-Obama VideoBarack Obama, Black Liberation Theology, Political Commercials, Reverend Jeremiah Wright, VideosThis 13:01 video could be less stridently partisan in tone, but it does clearly identify Obama’s ties to Black Liberation Theology, a pseudo-Christian ideology founded upon racism, Marxism, and Antisemitism. If he becomes the democrat party nominee, you can expect to see more artful and subtle presentations making exactly the same points. Hat tip to the News Junkie. 29 Apr 2008
Democrat Party’s Anti-McCain Ad2008 Election, Democrats, John McCain, Michael Moore, Political Commercials, Terrorism, TreasonThe most striking image is just a little over a second long, the blast of an IED beginning to impact two soldiers in American battle dress. Campaign strategists of the democrat party are clearly the kind of people who see nothing wrong in using the image of a successful enemy attack on US forces for partisan political advantage. It would never occur to these people that the image (taken from Michael Moore’s Fahrenheit 9/11 (2004), which can be found around 1:35 into the trailer*) they are using is exploiting the pain and suffering (and possibly the deaths) of their fellow citizens incurred in the course of defending them.
This precise image could just as easily appear in an al Qaeda propaganda video accompanied by howls of Allahu Akbar! 0: 35 video The cowards will certainly pull this one when the storm of outrage breaks over their heads, so here’s a link to a copy on YouTube. Maybe it’s time to change the symbol of the democrat party from the jackass to something even more appropriate: 23 Apr 2008

It’s Raining McCainBizarre, John McCain, Political Commercials, VideosSome of us thought that the Obama video was pretty weird, but that was before we saw this McCain Girls 2:34 video. Wow! Hat tip to Matt Yglesias. 20 Mar 2008
Don’t Tell Me Words Don’t Matter2008 Election, Barack Obama, Political Commercials, VideosIs Obama Wright? A 2:38 video on the subject of Barack Obama’s patriotism. 10 Mar 2008
Another Version of the Famous 3AM Phone CallBarack Obama, Hillary Clinton, Humor, Political Commercials, Satire, VideosSaturday Night Live offers a different version of the famous Hillary 3:00 AM campaign advertisement 5:29 video 08 Mar 2008
New McCain AdJohn McCain, Political Commercials, VideosJohn McCain thinks he’s Winston Churchill and Teddy Roosevelt. 2:05 video I thought the contrast of Churchill’s eloquence and McCain’s feeble powers of oration and squeaky voice did not work to his advantage, and I did not buy into McCain’s expressions of humble patriotism. I think McCain has a pretty visible sense of entitlement. 06 Mar 2008
“The Chosen Ones”2008 Election, Barack Obama, Political Commercials, Videos
If you’re young, hip, employed in the entertainment industry, and/or appropriately pigmented (and not too bright), congratulations! you may be one of the chosen ones, an Obama zombie. 3:05 video As the Telegraph notes:
Michael Goldfarb refers to L. Ron Obama, and observes:

Hillary’s McCain Commercial2008 Election, Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, Political CommercialsIn case you missed it, here’s Hillary’s 3:00 AM telephone commercial. 0:30 video Obama’s less-than-devastating response. 0:31 video OK, we now know Obama is ready: ready to disarm, ready to withdraw, ready to surrender, even at 3:00 AM. And what exactly was the experience Hillary had as First Lady that qualifies her? Hotline On Call (including sound):
