Supporting Obama is like having an STD, or being on drugs [Karl]

Those are the analogies of the new ad for Mr. Hopeyness from MoveOn, which is spending $150,000 to air the ad on MTV and Comedy Central, according to a spokesman.

Reportedly, the success of Comedy Central’s flagship Daily Show is based on the idea of “funny because it’s true.”  The ad seems like a natural fit.  At the very least, it is closer to the truth than MoveOn’s “General Betray Us” ad.  No wonder Barack Obama has discouraged these types of independent campaigns from the Left.

    What if Obama is antibiotic-resistant? What if he mutates into a retroviral strain? What kind of cocktail would that take to cure?

  2. Carin says:

    Is it just me, or does anyone else want to hit those people (in the ad) upside their head with a two-by-four.

    I’m not usually prone to violence.

  3. Karl says:

    For me, it’s only a metaphorical desire to get them to notice that their own metaphors are kinda counter-productive on a subconscious level. But it’s a free country; people can buy their own rope.

  4. Sdferr says:

    “…Any questions?…”

    Well, yeah sure. Plenty. Any answers?

  5. mishu says:

    Nah, just quarantine them like we should have done to aids patients around 1980.

  6. Jim in KC says:

    Me neither, but I’m trained to consider it when it’s appropriate…

    “Hope is just like VD” doesn’t seem like a great marketing idea to me, but what do I know?

  7. alppuccino says:

    Does this mean that common sense is pennicilian?

  8. Neo says:

    So what is the take by the drug companies with this “hope” thing ?

  9. Neo says:

    Couldn’t you just imagine the walk-way line being ..
    This message brought to you by The Church of Latter Day Saints .. the Mormons

    Instead, it’s brought to you by The Morons at MoveOn.
    It probably sprung from some dyslexic at MoveOn who confused LDS with LSD.

  10. Neo says:

    What’s next ? Having a personal relationship with Obama ?

  11. BJTex says:

    Won’t this encourage them to mate? Or is it just unrequited hope?

    Denounced, condemned,

  12. TheGeezer says:

    Having a personal relationship with Obama ?

    Egad. Then we’ll have to have an antiObama. Hmmm, do I want to be a premillenialist or a postmillenialist, when it comes to Obama eschatology?

  13. BJTex says:

    “Obama eschatology”

    Holy crap, Geezer, it physically hurt me to read that phrase.

    You start throwing “soteriology” around and I’m outta here!

    The great thing is the people that will “get this” and think it’s “cool” are the same people that won’t go vote because they are too busy making my latte.

  16. mojo says:

    What is it we’re moving on from, again? I forget.

  17. Spies, Brigands, and Pirates says:

    Can’t. Stop. Laughing.

    Please let this run as a saturation campaign in every major media market. Please.

  18. Ouroboros says:

    OBAMA 2008 ?

    NO STANK YOU !

  19. Salt Lick says:

    My brain on Hope is a chicken.
    And Change is an inward gas.
    And everytime I chirp with joy,
    the future shoots out my ass.

    You might call this unusual.
    You might make fun of me.

    According to Youtube, “Adding comments has been disabled from this video.”

    Of course it has.

    OMG, we have a winner! Urainium, step forward to collect your prizie …

  23. Brainster says:

    Q. How is Obama like AIDS?

    A. He was cooked up in a government laboratory to destroy black people.

  24. Matt, Esq. says:

    I don’t get it. Was it supposed to be tongue in cheek ? Maybe to the left, STD’s are amusing.

  25. Timstigator says:

    So, hope is basically a juvenile fowl that’ll grow up to be a chicken.

  26. Ouroboros says:

    “Maybe to the left, STD’s are amusing”

    Tell me you never laughed at Cheech & Chong doing ‘Peter Rooter’..

    Tired of the steady drip, drip, drip of gonorreah ?

  27. Ouroboros says:

    Like when you were about 12 or so….

  28. Spies, Brigands, and Pirates says:

    Tell me you never laughed at Cheech & Chong doing ‘Peter Rooter’..

    Sure, that was funny as hell (if tasteless).

    However, I’m not going to be voting for Tommy Chong at any point in the near future.

  29. Karl says:

    BTW, at least one pw regular is a Mormon, and far more intelligent than the people depicted in the MoveOn ad.

  30. kelly says:

    Wait, wait, wait a minute. That’s not parody??

    HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA…oh, man, that’s funny.

  31. B Moe says:

    So which came first, hope or my brain?

  32. happyfeet says:

    oh. I just saw that cause they block it at that place I go during the day. That blond one is that Amber Benson. She was on that WB show with that nice Sarah Michelle Gellar. She got shot to death I remember.

  33. serr8d says:

    Heh.

    Hopers simplex.

    I’ve a pshop to do… ;D

  34. Ouroboros says:

    “However, I’m not going to be voting for Tommy Chong at any point in the near future.”

    So what if McCain (God forbid) drops dead and the Republican Party decides to run Tommy Chong. or better Cheech Marin (for the hispanic vote) instead? What’s it gonna be, “O! Yes We Can” or “C! Si.. We Can, Homie!” ?

  35. poppa india says:

    I’d vote for Cheech and Chong-saw them with Commander Cody at a college concert in Michigan in the early 70’s. Laughed my ass off, though that may have been herbally inspired. Anyway, their administration wouldn’t be filled with the dreadful,for your own good and the good of the children self-rightousness I see coming down the road next administration.

    I agree with this addd. If you support obama your a bird brain.

  38. thor says:

    No wonder Barack Obama has discouraged these types of independent campaigns from the Left.

    The fact is Barack Obama has discouraged this, moreover, the fact remains that Barack Obama’s style of politics is a breath of fresh air from the low-IQ seethers who lie, libel and slander anyone who might think differently than themselves. America deserves better; America deserves Obamanesque and McCainian campaign conduct.

    O!

    Bitter clingers – the times are a changing, to the Reichstag with ya.
