Washington Times - McCain takes lead on YouTube hits »
Posted By FSU92grad 1 year, 3 months ago in News
Paris Hilton may think John McCain is just a wrinkly white-haired guy, but the Republican presidential candidate apparently has figured out the younger generation just fine. Over the past two weeks, his celebrity attacks have stomped Democratic presidential opponent Sen. Barack Obama in YouTube hits.

Mr. McCain has pumped out a series of brutal yet entertaining attack ads and Web videos mocking the press and Mr. Obama, and the combination of wit and insult has pushed his YouTube channel to the sixth most watched on the site this week. Mr. McCain has beat Mr. Obama's channel for seven straight days and 11 of the past 14 days, in a signal he intends to compete for the YouTube vote.

"Celebrity' attacks against Obama amuse younger generation"
Reply
The subhead says it all...yeah, the ads amused a lot of people, myself included.
And wow...I can't believe it...McCain has beaten Obama on YouTube 11 of the past 14 days. Obama beating McCain on YouTube the last 6 months does seem pretty shabby compared with that... -

FSU - I just read your bio and what a hoot. You can try to lie to me and everyone else but I hope you really aren't lying to yourself. You are a Rep through and through - I have read your posts for a year plus.

Oh, and by the way - I thought God was about LOVE, not hate, UNDERSTANDING, not misunderstanding.
You are filth in my eyes pal. Guess what, I am a real Conservative, the FISCAL kind. All that other crap has been concocted in the last 28 years.

"The McCain campaign said it was simply a decision to have fun with commercials, like the “Celebrity” ad released last week that compared Mr. Obama to Miss Hilton and Britney Spears, and “The One” Web ad that mocks the adulation from Obama supporters and compares the Democrat to Moses as he parts the Red Sea. "

Looks like the ads are working liberals.....
Reply
It sucks to be you or a Osama supporter....I personally think the ads are in good taste and btw what makes Obama so immune to scrutiny ? Wyy aren't we allowed to dig up dirt and truth on Obama? The libs do it all the time for Republican candidates and they call it "freedom of speech"....
We do it to their "Messiah" and we're hate-mongers, bigots and racist...
Why is that ? Why shouldn't ALL candidates have to endure scrutiny and be held under a microscope?
You want to play with the big boys, you better stop with the whining and start addressing these concerns Americans have over this wanna-be president....
If he doesn't, he will surely lose.....-

You seem to admit here that the two are a quite different thing. You fools will do anything to keep Corporate America in charge. Obama is no messiah, no quick cure for everything. But he is certainly better than staying the course, continuing to run massive deficits, while borrowing funding for overseas ventures like Iraq.
And it is quite clear that your greatest fear is that of intellectualism. It clearly befuddles you. Therefore you lash out. You ARE at the very least a hate monger and that IS the reason you are a neocon. Congrats! I think your side is winning the spin war by a huge margin. You are doing a great job of confusing the gullible masses. Otherwise this wouldn't even be close. Obama is either an idiot or an intellectual, you can't seem to make up your mind. Both seem to work as pejoratives for your side. I think Obama has maybe a 15% chance of pulling this out. America will suffer the consequences. But you get what you deserve...
But you chickenhawks haven't captured Bin Laden or done anything to stop the poison spread in the madrassas. I have no hesitation saying that Iraq will continue to be a major problem for decades to come. Something tells me the IA may be a future enemy someday soon. The iraqi's have used us as babysitters but if (not the neocon plan), or when we leave they will resort to their old violent ways. The core problem is that Iraq is truly a nation divided, always has been. We can't solve that, other than partition the communities as we did in the Surge. If they can't get at each other the violence ebbs as we now see. But that will not last. Still a massive number of scores to be settled.

Paris Hilton for Republican Presidential Candidate. Paris can bring fresh air to this sordid campaign run by a bumbling old corrupt has been. Noticed today that her response swamped his, at least 5 to 1 in the latest count.

Yes. And they'll film a sitcom about it. It will be the first reality-TV series featuring a sitting president (or squatting, or whatever it is Paris does). Like 'The Simple Life', the 'Oval Life' will be a fish-out-of-water story about the struggles to learn in a completely foreign environment where pants and a basic understanding of geography are requirements.

THE AMERICAN PUBLIC WILL NOT BE FOOLED BY A CLOWN LIKE OBAMA, WHO DOSE NOT KNOW WHAT HE STANDS FOR AND IS SO STUPID HE CANNOT DEFEND HIMSELF.
HE IS WORK HISTORY IS JOKE. HE NEVER SHOWS UP AND NEVER GETS ANYTHING DONE. HE IS NOT ONLY STUPID BUT LAZY. HE WENT TO A BLACK UNIV. WHO PASSES EVERYONE WHO SHOWS UP. I GUESS HE PLAYED HIS RACE CARD JUST LIKE HE DOES NOW TO GET EVERYTHING STACKED IN HIS FAVOR AND IF ANYONE ASKS HIM A QUESTION HE PLAYS HIS RACE CARD AGAIN. CANT THIS GUY STAND ON HIS OWN? MEANWHILE YOU GOT EVERY BLACK PERSON IN THE COUNTRY STANDING UP FOR A LOOSER, BOY DO THEY LOOK EVIL AND DUMB AND RACIST. EVEN WITH THAT HE WILL LOOSE, NO ONE WANTS A JOKE FOR PRESIDENT AND CLEARLY A JOKE WITH AN EVIL SIDE WHO HATES WHITES IS A VERY SCARY PROSPECT. SHOOT IF THE SHOE WERE ON THE OTHER FOOT WHITES WOULD STAND UP FOR BLACKS JUSTICE, BUT BLACKS WILL NOT RETURN ANY FAVORS. AND QUIT THE RACIST LABELS, ITS NOT WRONG IF ITS THE TRUTH, AND ITS NOT RACIST TO TELL IT LIKE IT IS. OR DID YOU THINK YOUR COULD PULL THE RACIST CARD HERE AND GET A PASS FOR YOUR CANDIDATE. ITS AINT GOING TO WORK ANYMORE. TENS WILL BE TENS AND ZEROS WILL BE ZEROS AND ITS GOOD TO POINT OUT EACH ONE FAIRLY. END WHITE QUILT NOW. TEAR DOWN OBAMA, HES A BAD PERSON.

Are you serious? Obama went to Harvard!! He was president of the Harvard Law Review; he is brilliant - an incredible author who wrote is own books without a ghost writer (like McCain for example). The "radical" label is pure baloney - where is your proof for these silly allegations apart from right wing internet aspersions? Barack's mom is a white lady from KANSAS already.

And besides that, you are purely full of crap.
The same white republican swine who are pointing at Obama and crying "racist" were circulating tee-shirts at the Texas Republican convention comparing Obama to Bin Laden, and buttons saying "If Obama is elected, will it stlll be a "White House?"
Obama is not the racist here. He commented that the McCain bots would tell people not to vote for him because he does not look like the president on the dollar bill, and he was right - Republicans are using racist inuendo to attack Obama while at the same time hypocritically accusing Obama of playing the race card. -

Are you seriously that dumb? McCain has missed twice as many votes as Obama in the same period of time. Obama went to HARVARD LAW, where he graduated magna *** laud.
McCain barely got an engineering degree, graduating as #894 in a class of 899. He's a dimwit. He's also a serial adulterer, a foul-mouthed hot-head, and an incompetent jerk who crashed FIVE jets, two of them 100% his fault. The idiot tried to buzz people on the Iberian peninsula, hit power lines and had to eject. Then he dumped a jet in Corpus Christi Bay when he MISSED the Texas coastline.

I would say the person who said, "Mission Accomplished" regarding Iraq uttered the Joke of the millenium. Wait and see what becomes of that continuing mess. Weird that someone like Ahmed Chalabi who helped to lead us to war with false information is reeking millions from oil revenues while we go further and further into debt every day. Chalabi "is an important part of the process," said Col. Steven Boylan, Petraeus' spokesman. "He has a lot of energy." Yes, for a con man!
Reply
We will get what we deserve for dealing with such men. As George Will said
"There are no Jefferson's in Iraq, Saddam killed them all". And Chalabi is about as far from such a man as you can get.

People are drawn to McCain's You Tube videos for the same reason they slow down to look at a nasty car wreck or to see the two faced, bald calf in a side show. Morbid curiosity. "Step right up folks, and see the freaky little old man walk and talk and crawl on his belly like a reptile".

McCain thinks its sensable to obtain 1% of our fuel by 2030 at 3 times the cost by drilling. Did you ever think if it was profitable that oil companies would be fighting eachother to do the work for free? Please...just sit back and think about that for one minute before you make a reply.

You want Change. You may get more than you are bargaining for.
Below are a few lines from Obama's books; in his words!
From Dreams of My Father: 'I ceased to advertise my mother's race at the age of 12 or 13, when I began to suspect that by doing so I was ingratiating myself to whites..'
From Dreams of My Father : 'I found a solace in nursing a pervasive sense of grievance and animosity against my mother's race.'
From Dreams of My Father: 'There was something about him that made me wary, a little too sure of himself, maybe. And white.'
From Dreams of My Father: 'It remained necessary to prove which side you were on, to show your loyalty to the black masses, to strike out and name names.'
From Dreams of My Father: 'I never emulate white men and brown men whose fates didn't speak to my own. It was into my father's image, the black man, son of Africa , that I'd packed all the attributes I sought in myself , the attributes of Martin and Malcolm, DuBois and Mandela.'
And FINALLY the Most Damming one of ALL of them!!!

McCain a war hero? McCain was dropping bombs on a city, and got shot down and captured. The idea of the thing is to not get shot down and not get captured.

All taken out of context. All have a meaning that is completely different then what you state. For example, the last one that is the "most damning" is actually a statement pertaining to the effect that he will stand with Muslims, or any immigrant group, that are going to have rights stripped away due to xenophobia. I've read his books. I advise you to do the same so you know what you speak of.

Even if the You Tubers are going to the site to check out McCain, doubtful when as has been said Britney, Paris and Obama are also mentioned.....how many You Tubers will get up off their butts and find their way to register to vote???? Then we'll see if they get up off their butts to go to the polls or if they even know when the general election is being held!!! I will not take a lot of stock in the poll of You Tubers. Give me the little white haired ladies in Iowa.

American voters have wised up to Barack Hussein Obama, who has no values, no experience, no judgement, and is simply playing a role. The Democrats first tried to get Dennis Haysbert for the part, but he was already President on "24."
Reply
Notice that Obama is afraid to face McCain in any Town Hall Meetings. In front of a Teleprompter, with plenty of support from speechwriters and plenty of rehearsals, Obama appears to be a brilliant public speaker. However, Obama cannot think on his feet. In an ad hoc setting, he is Elmer Fudd reincarnated. -

I cannot see why people are even looking at dem's way, after all it was Clinton who took cap off oil prices before he left office. He said it no longer had any meaning, but ohh it sure did.and i read the book of Obama's and i can not beleive some of the racist things in it. I would perfer the republican way ,and our government needs to control things more, but I dont beleive they need to bail out banks and motgage companies etc. maybe give them guidelines or something like that to help but if they fail thats there fault.We America built the Alaskian pipeline but we get NO oil from it ,its all sold off over seas ,maybe we need to look into changing that.
