Obama Swiftboat video.
How could any candidate weather this in the GE?Brace yourselves for November.Sorry ,but the truth hurts.
"GOD DAMN AMERICA" Sung in the background
The imagery will be Farracan Rezco Auchi and Obama in muslim attire.
With the announcer saying Obama's Syrian campaign finance director Rezco took a 3.5 million Iraqi "loan" from an Iraqi owned foreign corporation 3 weeks before Obama purchased his home.

2. Dont you think it would have to be OBAMA saying those things in order to...
..be an effective swiftboat?


This is like saying that Jerry Falwell's words are George Bush's..... or that the pope's words are JFK's.

7. Sadly, I don't think that
Video ads aren't about logic. It's about effectively tying together images and emotions.

4. we'll have to have our own viral videos
I was just thinking of an anti-McCain video. It would compile all of the pictures of them hugging, shaking hands, smiling together and the music in the background would be "I love you for sentimental reasons".

When I get my new Macbook I'll start working on it.

15. Possibly, but George Bush is president of the United States, and
the Republicans could counter with a similar videos of Kennedy, Pelosi, etc.
hugging, shaking hands and smiling with the war criminal. I always wished they had treated him with cold, but polite, disdain; but when socializing with Dubya they always act as though he is a long lost friend.

19. That's not going to stick as much
McCain is the one who has tied himself to Bush's legacy. I agree, I'd love to see them blow him off.

9. Thinking fondly back on the days of "vote present gate".
Those where the days. Now sadly, a broken down and crazy Clinton campaign is convulsing on the floor of their sh*t stained apartment grasping at invisible images of black, muslim, syrian, and iraqi ghosts out to get them.

12. That ws something that could at least use some explanation
It wound up being, IMO, bogus, but at least it had something to do with an issue.

11. Do you think that you might learn to spell all their names by the time the video is completed?
Or are you just going to put it out there looking and sounding totally illiterate, in the hope that it will appeal to its intended audience?

17. That's the point, right? How could Obama weather this -- so vote against him now.
Personally, I'd prefer the swiftboating come from the Republicans as we put up the strongest candidate.

Hillary's boat has taken on so much water that we can only see the mast. It's time to move on.

21. If they could swiftboat Kerry, they can swiftboat anyone
They'd call their own grandmother a whore if it would win them an election. The best swiftboat tactics are the ones that completely come out of nowhere, like the actual swiftboat tactics. There was no basis of truth, so it had people scratching their heads. The Obama is a muslim thing is so obvious and transparent that I don't think it will stick as much.

27. Well maybe Rezko and Auchi are not muslim ,I stand corrected.But being MiddleEastern
from Syria and Iraq has the same impression on Americans.
Especially an Iraqi with Saddam Hussein connections.
They shot an Indian Seik in Texas after 9/11.

29. Gee, Mojo. You really don't mind re-vomiting Hillary's sputum.
I'd think you'd have pride enough to think for yourself.
