Does anyone else think that this ad:
A) Is picking the wrong fight
and
B) Will not win over one single independent voter
?
That is not to say that I don’t think aerial hunting is ridiculous, but I just don’t see the point of spending ad dollars attacking this particular facet of such a deeply flawed VP candidate.
hardmannyc
Well, it bothered me. Of course, the last GOP vice president only hunted human beings.

I know a few women who will be appalled by this, so I’m going to forward it to them. Hopefully they will forward it on to others as well. Some of them might not care if she knows what Bush’s doctrine is, but they’ll care about this.
CHURCHILL-Y
Yes, because the Hollywood elite would rather have an overpopulation of wolves killing people. Animals take precedence over peoples welfare and security, that’s better.
You people really don’t get it do you.
In the states where this election is going to be decided her being an all American hunter is a plus and not something that’s cause for shame as it is in LA or in NYC ? Don’t you clowns get it?

McCain ★ Palin ’08
Ted B. (Charging Rhino)
Responsible hunting certainly more “humane” than what occurs in most meatpacking plants, and considering the millions of Americans of both sexes that enjoy hunting and outdoor life this ad’s just preaching to the Coastal-Elites Choir. It just another ill-adviosed attack that will remind moderates and Middle-America of Barack’s “…clinging to guns and religion”-crack, and sway them to McCain’s side.
…Anyone for field-dressed donkey come November?
Brian
I completely agree with Ryan. This isn’t going to change anyone’s mind. I want to see an ad about the news from this morning’s LA Times that when Palin was mayor, the police department made rape victims pay for the “rape kits” used to gather evidence. “Sorry about that rape — now here’s the bill.” Add that to Palin’s view that abortion should be illegal even in cases of rape, and you’ve got yourself a real ad campaign.

You daft fuckwits really don’t get it, do you??? Even from this side of the pond I appreciate that Palin is appealing to the basest instincts of her electorate.
Look dimwits, electioneering is a game and this hunting lark (whether it is real or an act isn’t important) appeals to the lowest common denominator – she will win votes because of it.
We don’t have hunting much over here in liddle old Engerland, and because of that I find your US hunting exploits a little odd and distasteful, but I realise I am being hypocritical, because I eat meat.

BRAVO on a tough gritty ad, thanks Defenders of Wildlife

too many repigs
too few wolves
CitizenGeek
Churchill-y, you’re such a joke. Maybe you should hang out at MichelleMalkin.com, instead?
I like the ad, but maybe it would have been better to raise Sarah Palin’s self imposed “pro life” title and showed how much hunting contradicts that stance.
Rod
I’m a hunter and this is not hunting. There is no skill in shooting something from the comfort of a plane. A true hunter would never kill anything from the safty of a plane except for a lazy one which people who set bait for deer in Michigan and other states so they don’t have to go hunt for a deer just just wait until the deer comes for the bait. These people are not hunters.
hardmannyc
“the Hollywood elite would rather have an overpopulation of wolves killing people. ”
No wolf has killed someone in the US in, like, at least 50 years. But hey, you never let facts get in the way of your aggressive stupidity.

@HARDMANNYC: You have to warn someone before you post something that will make them snarf coffee out their nose. “Aggressive stupidity” is officially my new favorite phrase.

Doesn’t Palin wanting to Ban Books so much she fired the LIBRARIAN who defied her….send a chill up your spine?
IT SHOULD
polobear
This could work either way,
Yes we have the some NRA people who say hell ya (Ted Nudgent perhaps) but on a subconscious level it counters the ” gee I’m just a little ole hockey mom raising five kids” and there is something deeply disturbing which may turn off some voters.
As for getting it
Nature works fine without us we are the ones who fuck it up and the wolf population would not be unbalanced.
We fall into two camps the one where god has given us this world and we can exploit it all we want (hence”people first”) or the others of us who believe we need to try to live in harmony with this world, and by not always putting ourselves first to the detriment of the ecosystems that support us our quality of life can be sustained and in some cases improved.
Yes I am a PROUD tree hugging liberal and i bet have more morales than most right-winged christians. If god gave us this world as a gift why aren’t we treating it with more respect?

Although after some thought I would have added a shot of wolf cubs then a shot of Sarah with some blood red lipstick dripping ever so slightly at the corner of her mouth
nothing like puppies in jeopardy to get the voters attention

My View
A hunting mom of FIVE kids who wants to be president (I’m sure they’ll get rid of McCain in the first six month via a heart attack, chocking on a pretzel, having sex with his VP or being shot by a ‘deranged’ Montauk creature) does not sound like the kind of women who puts the welfare of her children first.
Quite the opposite!
One look at her eyes tells me she is deeply disturbed and easy to control by the real powers.
I sense huge danger coming from this women. She might even be a Montauk creation herself…
marco channing
Sarah Palin is a classic right-wing extremist hypocrite:
Protect fetal tissue that cannot survive outside the body on it’s own, but shoot animals from airplanes for sport.
Promote abstinence and ban contraceptives, but have an unwed & pregnant teenage daughter.
Campaign with “Country First” yet support teaching creationism in school, which really means “Bible First.”
Campaign as a Washington reformer, yet be tied up in legal cases and multiple accusations of illegal hiring and firing practices(reeks of Bush’s DOJ).
Claiming sexist attacks after calling Hillary Clinton a “whiner”.
Running on the ticket with a self-proclaimed “maverick”, who less than a year ago said Govs. and Mayors were not qualified for the Presidency.
Be part of the “Straight Talk Express” ticket, yet have campaign ads that are such distortions of the truth, even the hosts of The View can call you on your sh*t and leave your running mate at a loss for words.
Say that it’s unfair to bring your family into the campaign discussions, yet talk openly about your son’s military service and trot your family on stage at the RNC convention and pass your baby around on stage like it’s a bong.

I emailed Dobbs,
“We have the photo of your buying the RACIST Obama Waffles. you didn’t get it scrubbed fast enough.
I hope CNN tells you to publicly apologise or they’ll DROP YOU.
Every Mexican immigrant you’ve spit on for YEARS, will rejoice at your being caught red handed as RACIST”
I’d like Jack Cafferty to take on Dobb’s embarrassing CNN
Maybe Keith Olbermann will get a LAUGH putting Dobbs as WORST PERSON

this ad is liberal masterbation, and I say that as a liberal. It’s why we lose. We don’t get how to hit McCain so we end up with silliness like this. I mean the woman said that if her daughter were raped , she’d force her the have the kid, and refused to pay for rape kits. Those would be ads. This shit is just pathetic.

Waffles are made from flour, eggs, sugar and milk.
I doubt that waffles can be racist you dumb wit!
I don’t see money changing hands in the pic! I see a person standing there holding a box. Whether the box was acquired for collection purposes or otherwise we don’t know. Shut your mouth unless you know for sure (LIBEL). Even if he did, it’s his business.
You seem to be suspiciously, deliriously happy about this ‘incident, (almost as happy as ‘9/11 Silverstein’ when he received billions of dollars for helping to bring down ‘his’ towers). Do you have an agenda?
Btw. were you as happy about this guy from CNN ‘being caught’:
CNN personality Richard Quest was busted in Central Park early yesterday with some drugs in his pocket, a rope around his neck that was tied to his genitals, and a sex toy in his boot, law-enforcement sources said.[…]
Quest was initially busted for loitering, the source said. Aside from the oddly configured rope, the search also turned up a sex toy inside of his boot, and a small bag of methamphetamine in his left jacket pocket.
It wasn’t immediately clear what the rope was for.
Ha ha ha ha haaaa. I didn’t think so.
Mr C
Well My View,
If he (Mark) accused you of doing anything. I’m sure Mark will be apologetic about it. There are no “DUMB WITS” here so moving on from stupid rhetoric.
You said:
No waffles can’t be but people surely are. And as I am one who watch Lou Dobbs. If this isn’t a photoshop. This shit isn’t funny. Why aren’t there ahy bias names foods for John McCain?
Is it because the asshole who made “Obama Waffles” is white like Lou?
And as far as Richard Quest goes your 4 months late with that http://www.reuters.com/article/newsOne/idUSN1832900220080419 He’s in rehab right now

We our losing our edge due to your party, We are already behind in moving our car indusrty to make more fuel effcient vehicles. You laughed at Nobel Prize winning, Oscar winning former vice president Al Gore when he ran, but he had a basic understanding and appreciation for science and science education. If Bush is so pro America then why are industries flocking overseas.. like Halliburton moving headquarters to Dubai, because they could give a shit about the likes of you.
