New Obama ad

#1 Post by Bob78164 » Sat Mar 22, 2008 3:53 pm

The Obama campaign has released a new ad, which is a direct response, of sorts, to Hillary's three-in-the-morning red phone ad. --Bob
"Question with boldness even the existence of a God; because, if there be one, he must more approve of the homage of reason than that of blindfolded fear." Thomas Jefferson

I thought they already did that within 24 hours of the Hillary ad. At least that's what I saw locally in the days before the Texas primary.

The People's Cube on Obama and Rev. Wright

[Warning: Satirical Overload]

"Everything I know about Christianity I learned from him. He told me how the world started: in the beginning was class struggle. Then the Whites conspired to oppress the Blacks. He taught me a lot of other things about the Bible. Thanks to him I became a typical Christian and a typical Wright person.

"He led me to the Word of God with an inspiring story of a homeless African-American urban activist named Jesus Christ, who advocated for higher taxes, reparations, and government redistribution of earthly belongings. Like many inner-city Blacks, he was born in the slums to a teenage mother and had never seen his real father. Despite being oppressed and discriminated against, Christ was helping the poor by demanding government handouts. But the White-supremacist government only gave them crack cocaine and infected them with the AIDS virus, which had been invented specifically for that purpose. As Christ was tending to the AIDS victims he himself became infected through needle sharing. Then he tried to find his father, but was constantly subjected to racial profiling, and then was arrested, tortured, and crucified.
Suitguy is not bitter.

feels he represents the many educated and rational onlookers who believe that the hysterical denouncement of lay scepticism is both unwarranted and counter-productive

The problem, then, is that such calls do not address an opposition audience so much as they signal virtue. They talk past those who need convincing. They ignore actual facts and counterargument. And they are irreparably smug.
