Obama Attack Vid: Flag Flag Flllaaaaag

| Thu May. 15, 2008 7:57 AM PDT

I guess when you don't have any actual arguments for why you should be in charge, you rely on symbolism instead.

Here's my solution. Obama changes his name to Barack Flag Pin Obama. He automatically convinces everyone of his patriotism, and eliminates the most problematic part of his name. From then on, whenever someone says, "Why don't you wear a flag pin?" Obama can respond, "I am Flag Pin!"

Very poorly produced. Did they do this with iMovie?

We have started to see a few ads for McCain here in NM, OMG he is wearing a ball cap and sun glasses - looks very bad.

They will need a false flag operation to win this election. Be ready.

That's hilarious. White flag... get it? Hahahaha. Thanks for the laugh. Do people in the USA actually buy into this cr*p?

Amazing how they go from all that feel good stuff to the nasty BS they spout in the end, how do these people sleep at night?

Obama said that wearing a flag pin is a form of "false patritism". Instead of just wearing one, like he should, he has argued about it like a professor. Kind of like his speech in Philly: instead of apologizing, he gave us a lecture about the subtleties of race. This guy is disconnected from common sense: he should have ditched Wright years ago, and he should have also been wearing a flag pin.

The message aside, this ad wasn't done very well. If this were playing on TV, I am dubious that a person with an average attention span would still be listening by the time the Obama part arrives since the image is so static. They should have at least put some of the words the narrator was saying on the screen.

Nice idea of how to solve Obama's flag pin "problem" BTW.

Politics as bullfighting: just wave the red, white and blue flag front of the voters so they know how to vote.

Because, you know, what Americans really care about is how big is your flag (or flag pin)...

yeah, just apologize for being a smart-alec and wear the flag pin from now on.

"Instead of just wearing one, like he should,"

Oh Jane that is just so silly. So wearing a flag pin makes one patriotic? Why because Bush wears one? At that debate where he got so much flack over it I noticed that Hillary wasn't wearing one; why didn't she get flack about it? Why isn't her patriotism being questioned? I didn't notice if the moderators were wearing flag pins, but from the lack of them that I see on newscasters I would suspect not.

And I have to question just how much true patriotism is displayed by wearing a gimmick manufactured in China. This administration has been all about PR; displays and symbols. You seem to think that that is where the real substance lies.
