VIDEO: DNC Ad: Tea Party = GOP
Tweet
I’ll never understand why the DNC releases ads without voiceovers. WHY????? Grab an intern and a microphone. This isn’t hard and makes the video 2x as effective.

I’d like to hear “God Bless America” come on when the video switches over to the top ten countdown. That’d be twisted just enough for people to take it seriously. Current music is waayyy too intense, gimicky even.
You’ve got that backward. 2X is when then dilute a solution by ten, twice, so a 1 in a 100 dilution.
A voiceover would be 100 times *more* effective.
(Um. I’m kidding – I know you meant two times as effective, and I decided to use semi-obscure knowledge to say that I think it would be much more than merely twice as effective.)
The Tea Party is the Council of Conservative Citizens with new letterhead
That ad would benefit from a VO, but it’s still a good path to take. These “patriots” are psychos.
But we knew that already.
“We need to break the Politics of Fear” — Barack Obama, March 2008
The non-VO ad is borrowed from the Frank Luntz school of advertising; you should design your political ad so that a person watching it in a bar or restaurant with the sound off (or too noisy) can understand the message with just a few key words or images on the screen.
Agreed, Farris. The GOP Bagger platform is scary.

OUCH.
Our Divisive President
Barack Obama promised a new era of post-partisanship. In office, he’s played racial politics and further split the country along class and party lines.
Must reading.
Our Divisive President
Tee-hee. The 2nd point in this “must reading” and it’s already on FAIL mode.
“Sen. Jon Kyl (R., Ariz.) has said the president told him in a closed-door meeting that he would not move to secure the border with Mexico unless and until Congress reached a breakthrough on comprehensive immigration reform. That’s another indication Mr. Obama is willing to continue to play politics with hot-button issues.”
Except Kyl kinda changed his mind on exactly what the President said when he wasn’t speaking in front of tea baggers. You’d think one of the two – 2 – authors it took to write this tripe could have caught that.
Dennis, is there any right wing race baiting you won’t fall for?

Some questions answer themselves.
Yes, some right-wing stooges in the WSJ said something. Look over here!
Shorter WSJ op-ed: “Barack Obama promised a new era of post-partisanship, but we’re still the same old racist assholes we always were so clearly, Obama has failed.”
“Barack Obama promised a new era of post-partisanship, but we’re still the same old racist assholes we always were so clearly, Obama has failed.”
These are two Democrats, fafaroo. Democrats. And they made a strong case for how Obama is dividing our country along racial lines. Even taking your statement at face value, which is wrong, but just for the sake of argument, Obama didn’t claim that the problem was the racist assholes and he would convince them to lose their racist ways and then the country would be healed; he was billed by you guys as the post-racial president. But as Caddell and Schoen lay out for us in this article, he not only has not done that, quite the opposite, he and his advisors have employed a clear strategy of playing racial politics to further divide us.
Ask anyone how they feel about race relations today, no matter what their political leanings, and they are more likely to tell you they are worse now. And there’s a reason for that.
As Mary Frances Berry, former head of the Civil Rights Commission, says, quoted in this article, “acknowledg(ing) that the Obama administration has taken to polarizing America around the issue of race as a means of diverting attention away from other issues,” saying:
The Obama advisors, the dishonest hack Journo-listers, “take one of them — Fred Barnes, Karl Rove, who cares — and call them racists.”, the nutroots, this blog, and most if not all of you guys, this strategy has been stepped up, ramped up, and used now for over two years. That’s not being a post-racial, fafaroo, and Obama is hardly a post-racial President, not at all what we were all hoping for and a big reason why Obama went in to his inauguration polling up in the 70′s and is now just a year later down in the low-mid 40′s.
Failure? That’s not what they said. They said he’s been divisive, and quite the opposite of what he promised. And not just along racial lines, they argued, but along class and party lines as well, which in typical fashion you dishonestly failed to mention.
Two Democrats. Disgusted. Dismayed.
And depressed.
How can you blame them. You don’t, you blame racist assholes, with no blame assigned to your side or on Obama.
You’re a lackey, fafaroo. You’re pathetic.
These are two Democrats, fafaroo. Democrats. Dennis
LOL.
Remember when a picture of George W. Bush as an African bush doctor was widely circulated? And all those rumors that he was actually an African instead of an American? And FOX news pimped made-up stories about ACORN and a relatively unknown black woman at the USDA, whose father happened to be murdered by white men who were never brought to justice?
