Post and discuss attack ads, clips of media coverage, debates, viral videos, and of course, youtube parodies.

John McCain ads as done by famous film directors:

HMC · 10-23-2008, 09:15 PM

Haha the Wes Anderson one

Slime · 10-23-2008, 09:28 PM

hah those were fun

Apfigur · 10-23-2008, 10:00 PM

hahaha the wes anderson one is incredible.

Aaron Haynes · 10-23-2008, 10:28 PM

John Cleese on Sarah Palin:

Third debate parody (I actually thought this was a lot funnier than what SNL did for this debate):

Shaun · 10-23-2008, 11:33 PM

Hahahah @ McCain throwing paper

Phil Williamson · 10-24-2008, 12:41 AM

haha these were all excellent, especially the Wes Anderson McCain ad

Orcus · 10-26-2008, 08:47 PM

Some of the worst baiting I've seen so far:

Notch Johnson · 10-26-2008, 08:55 PM

oh god i hate how that video's called "Biden Angered by Tough Questions".

he's angered by some trippy cunt asking dumb questions.

Orcus · 10-26-2008, 09:02 PM

They're not even tough questions. They're just the same baseless GOP talking points that have almost no basis in reality. The fact that they still use "Joe the Plumber" as an example when it was widely reported the day after the debate that Joe isn't really who he says he is and would actually benefit under Obama's plan shows how stupid they think most of America is.

Slime · 10-26-2008, 09:22 PM

haha those questions suck

Slime · 10-26-2008, 09:25 PM

hahah I just saw this video in Dean's favorites:

some of the terrible face-sizing makes it hilarious

Bobby Swisha · 10-26-2008, 09:53 PM

hahahahahaha that was amazing.

Mabdog · 10-26-2008, 10:26 PM

haaaahahahaha

Molotov · 10-26-2008, 10:32 PM

Hahahahaha, that's insanely good.

The essence of McCain's campaign strategy from the last three weeks, distilled into a two-minute interview segment.

Skittlebrau · 10-31-2008, 05:54 AM

hahahaha

goddamn, is that smile standard issue for some special club of assholes, or what?

Notch Johnson · 10-31-2008, 05:56 AM

far right-wingers always have a certain empty look in their eyes. has anyone else noticed this? it's always the exact same look.

Aaron Haynes · 10-31-2008, 06:21 AM

It's a single-minded determination to get out the talking points. They don't come on these shows to debate, they have a specific checklist of phrases to work through.

This is true of Obama's strategists, too, but they aren't the ones pushing this flaky "guilt by tangential association" crap.

Slime · 10-31-2008, 06:30 AM

Wow, thats one of the best political videos I've seen, that's hilarious, hahahaha

Aaron Haynes · 10-31-2008, 07:19 AM

McCain ads by famous filmmakers, part two:

Whitey · 10-31-2008, 07:39 AM

Hey Aaron, have you seen these ads on TV lately?

I love the guy in the red shirt. I wish he was my grandpa.

Aaron Haynes · 10-31-2008, 07:58 AM

Hahaha, I have. I hadn't seen that one yet though.

I've read that they're the breakout ads of the Senate races, among the most recognizable by people who've been asked. It helps that I'm strongly for Hagan, but even if I wasn't, they're just very well done.

Aaron Haynes · 10-31-2008, 08:01 AM

This one's probably my favorite.
