Chances republican debate horror show moment will be used in Democratic ad approved by Obama.

[Safetykitten]

My prediction...

0% chance.

[99th_Monkey]

1. It could certainly be of some benefit, if the ad production itself was well crafted. nt

[Safetykitten]

2. Ah...some benefit. Now we are getting somewhere.

[quinnox]

3. It would be a great ad

I can imagine it already, the opening shows the debate question, then the crowds response is enhanced to make it loud and clear, then the ominous deep voiced narrator comes on and says "America's Tea Party" - "Is this who you want representing you?"

[nadinbrzezinski]

4. What? Insult our honorable colleagues

On the other side of the aisle? You surely jest.

I wish I could disagree and I hope our cynicism is proven not just wrong, but very wrong.

I'll drink to that.

[pnorman]

11. Not to mention offending Obama's Corpoorate Overlords!

Sheeeesh!

[FrenchieCat]

5. Chances of you caring about anything other than being right....

Priceless!

I'm sure when they do it, you'll take credit for it being your idea....


Democrats have revealed a series of new ads backing up President Obama’s plan to add jobs to the economy. The ads will run in targeted swing states including Denver; Tampa and Orlando, Fla.; Des Moines, Iowa; Las Vegas; Manchester, N.H.; Raleigh and Charlotte, N.C.; Columbus and Cleveland, Ohio; and Norfolk, Richmond and Roanoke, Va.; they will also run in Washington, D.C.

15. But, respectfully noted, you just posted information, useless in a say, robotic way.

[The Traveler]

6. I agree with you

And that is regrettable. Every opportunity we have to reveal the inner qualities of the Tea Party types should be taken. People should be allowed to see what is there under the hood, and make that choice. Is this the camp the average American wants to join? Is this the leadership they want to follow?

At some point, you have to just tell the truth as best you know it and let the chippies fall where they might.

7. It could be the daisy ad of the 21st Century. Could be.

[gateley]

8. Aren't you prescient.

Nor should he.

It wasn't a "horror show", a handful of assholes responded horrifically.

No President should condemn an entire Party due to the actions of some individuals. He wants the votes of others in the Party who wouldn't take well to being lumped in with the bagger whacks.

Besides, it wouldn't change anybody's mind.

So what's the point? Just another opportunity to dis Obama?

[Fumesucker]

12. Did anyone in the audience that night respond in a non-horrific manner?

[Safetykitten]

13. Like I said, it is horribly distastefull to blame them, They could of been lost, or just wanted...

a drink of water. There are a myriad of reasons they were sitting there. I did not in any way want to make it seem that those people in the theater ALL did that. I mean it's horrible to accuse them all of sitting there while this happened. Like I said, maybe a friend invited them.

We need to be more understanding of our bi-partmanship friends. Point well taken.

[Safetykitten]

16. And to others, do not make my greivous mistake. Just because you are in an audience

at an event, in no way does it mean that you support what is going on at that presentation, or by staying silent when bad things are said, complicit, or agree in any way.

Do not make my mistake. I for one will be more open minded about out political bi-partismanship pals.

[gateley]

17. If I were attending a debate between political candidates with

whose visions I agreed, and some Democratic assholes responded in such a way, I'd be disgusted and might approach them afterward, but I wouldn't get up and leave even though I strongly disagreed. I'd be there to make a a decision about whom I would want to support, and a couple of fuckwads wouldn't be able to deprive me of that opportunity. And to what end, anyway? The debate would have continued, nobody would have given a fuck if I and a few others left, so what would I have accomplished?

Assuming that you know how a gathering of individuals feel based on the actions of a minority is ridiculous. Unless you know it all.

[Skittles]

9. that would take COURAGE

[Raine]

10. I agree, after all we mustn't get down in the dirt with our opponents

and lower ourselves to their level. :eyes:

[blkmusclmachine]

14. The WH will roll over and play dead for 2012:

Just as long as that nasty, nasty stench of "partisanship" never taints Obama. Funny how the GOP **NEVER** reciprocates, EVER, and yet the WH claims to never "get it." I say it's all been planned this way. The REAL DEM's are getting played Big Time by this WH; there's your 11-Dimensional "Chess"/"rope-a-dope" BS.

18. Johnson devastated Goldwater with one ad.......

I was 12 years old and to this day can picture that campaign ad a little girl and it ended in a nuclear explosion. As you can are in my signature line the hate fests aka GOP debates really made an impression on me. The debates would make a great ad seared into the brains of another generation. I am sure there is more to come.

[Angry Dragon]

19. why does it have to be okayed by Obama??
