1. That's great, especially the song...
Although I must say it's a tad disingenuous for Biden to play the Baby Elephant March when showing unflattering images of Obama, Clinton and Edwards if the implication is that they're somehow baby Republicans...

That was a hoot.

It's great to see him just give us some fun, ambient silliness; none of those pictures is mean, and they're all mesmerizing in their own way. Perfect timing, too.

What fun.

5. Hard to imagine Obama and Edwards as baby republicans...
I'll refrain from saying anything about Hillary.

8. The video was put together by a Biden supporter.
Not by the Biden campaign.

18. Thanks for the clarification
Still, it's nice to see some truly out-of-left-field humor, and it reflects well on the candidate. Even my dig about the music gets resoundingly trumped by the fun of it all.

4. I'll bet the candidates portrayed in the most unflattering light possible --
think it's hilarious.

9. See, turnabout is fair play. I'm not complaining.
We need to loosen up a bit. Only where was your music?

10. "we need to loosen up a bit."
You base that on what? Your extensive history here?

It was a childish, cheap attack on two candidates, worthy of FreeRepublic.

11. I might be a newcomer here.
But I think I have more seniority in the Democratic Party. I voted for Adlai Stevenson, how about you?

12. I think this is a bit mean and not particularly funny He had to
really work to find the most unflattering pictures possible. Not amusing.

13. For heaven's sake people:
Edited on Wed Aug-22-07 09:23 AM by murbley40
The video was done by a Biden Supporter,James Salvatore.
I thought it was funny as I thought the pictures of Joe were funny too. There was no mean spirit intended. :silly:

Everyone takes bad pictures now and then, it only makes them more human to me. I particularly liked the one of Hillary looking just "plum tired". I didn't see anything mean-spirited about the pic's, just candid photos of people looking real for a change.

17. I certainly wish everyone was as understanding as you.
One tries to have a little fun and some people go bonkers!

19. Everyone is really touchy these days and can't blame them
I have my own knee-jerk moments, but I usually take a breath before I react. That comes from experience, however. I learned the hard way that if I react too emotionally, people only listen to the "emotions", instead of what I'm saying.

20. We need to inject a little humor into our lives.
When ever the candidates do it, it's well received.

21. True, humor builds bridges and releases stress
Sadly there are some people who don't appear to have a sense of humor. I think that is one way to recognize aliens - shit that was an X-Files flashback!!!

I watch a couple episodes of Scrubs each night before I go to sleep. Helps to wash off all the politics.

23. Unflattering pictures of Dem candidates, yup, really funny.
not. Smear and nastiness is bad no matter who does it. "but I was just joking", "but it was all meant in fun". right.
