Why Smears and Spoofs Work

Dave McLane — Fri, 18 Jul 2008 12:48:18 EDT

Somewhere among the twists and turns of the internet there must be information we can rely on enough to make informed decisions. Yet we seem to have entered the age of WSIWYG -- What You See Is What You Get -- and all we can say for sure is what's on the screen at the moment because it's too much work to find information that connects to facts on the ground and stays constant long enough to be useable.

Maureen Dowd spoof spreads

Dave McLane — Fri, 04 Jul 2008 00:01:25 EDT

As I reported in a previous post ThomasMoore has posted as spoof claiming the Maureen Dowd of the New York Times has written an article saying that some of the millions of $$$ that Obama has received from Internet fund raising efforts comes from overseas... China and the Middle East, to be exact. The spoof has now spread to http://forums.pelicanparts.com/showthread.php?p-4037456 Details in Extended Post

Maureen Dowd spoof smears Obama

Dave McLane — Thu, 03 Jul 2008 00:23:37 EDT

The smear is basically this: "It appears that some of the millions of $$$ that Obama has received from Internet fund raising efforts comes from overseas... China and the Middle East, to be exact. Why would donors in those countries contribute to an election campaign for President of USA?"

Here are the details:

ThomasMoore commented on my article "Unite for Change: Prescott, Arizona" on www.azcentral.com (The same article is also on www.barackobama.com .) and said:

========== ThomasMoore Comment ==========
It's not a secret any more, Dave, about where the millions of dollars are coming from that Obama has been receiving, so much that he went back on his promise to accept the spending limits of public campaign financing.

The millions are not from small donations of $25 to $100, as Obama has claimed. It's been traced to banks in Saudi Arabia and other Middle East countries, as well as a bank in China. The many small donations come from only a few credit-card accounts.

Wealthy foreigners, including the radical Islamic Wahabi sect that supports Osama bin Ladin, are attempting to provide millions of dollars for television ads to influence the U. S. Presidential election.

Don't take my word; read NYT columnist Maureen Dowd, who's about as liberal as anyone who works for that newspaper. Click on this link:

http://www.azcentral.com/members/Blog/ThomasMoore/26838
========== ThomasMoore Comment ==========

When you check out that link, it's not to the New York Times but to ThomasMoore's blog which doesn't provide a link to an original article by Maureen Dowd and I was unable to find such an article on the NYT or elsewhere.

The operative line is "I wonder if we WILL see this article in the Arizona Republic tomorrow? (the www.azcentral.com is the Arizona Republic's website).

I've sent a report to www.azcentral.com and to Marueen Dowd but no reply.

check them out if you get the chance...

hey guys,

let me start out by saying that none of these videos is in the spirit or the name of the obama campaign. it turns out that i myself am far less lofty or reserved or intelligent than he is. you see, when i get angry about politics, i make poop jokes. so, in the spirit of the times, here are some spoof campaign ads for hillary i just made. hope you find them mildly amusing, if not vaguely offensive--and certainly juvenile. and if you pass them along to anyone else, that'd be great.

Viral video- spoof of Hillary's new 3 am ad

Aliza — Thu, 03 Apr 2008 11:26:01 EDT

Did anyone else see the irony of Hillary putting out an ad saying she should be the one to answer the call about an economic crisis when she can't even manage the money of her own campaign?

We all know that the Clinton camp has had a hard time paying the bills since Iowa (bankrupt from state one) so we did a spoof on her new economic 3 am ad.

Check it out: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TPIt7Sv_blE

Then comment, favorite, send to a friend...you know the drill.

We need to change the narrative that the Clintons are the authority on economic policy.

Hillary-ous spoof video - please share!

Obama Heals Hundreds: Lark News

Kevin — Tue, 04 Mar 2008 13:41:10 EST

This is from Lark News, which could be best described as The Onion of mainstream Christianity:

AUSTIN — Ginny McCallum, 43, who has been confined to a wheelchair for much of her adult life, came to hear presidential candidate Barack Obama speak at the University of Texas. Afterward she found herself in a wheelchair access breezeway as Obama and his entourage exited the arena. The candidate spotted her, came over, grabbed her hand and pulled her up. She found herself standing for the first time in eleven years.
    "He smiled at me and said, ‘Yes, you can,’" she says. "I was so stunned I didn’t know what to do."
    McCallum is among hundreds of people who say they have been healed by the Democratic candidate, in one of the most surprising and little-acknowledged aspects of his campaign. Reporters have shied away from the story, chalking it up to "Obama-mania" and people’s feelings of elation.
    "We don’t talk about it a lot, but yeah, it does happen," says one staffer who says he has seen multiple people healed on a rope line. "We don’t know exactly how or why it’s happening, and the Senator won’t talk about it. He usually insists that people keep it quiet and just report it to their pastor or priest."
    Greeting supporters after a rousing speech in Houston, Obama stepped into the dense crowd and spontaneously began touching people: a legally blind woman, a man deaf in one ear, a cancer sufferer and a lame man.
    "Yes, you can," Obama said as he laid hands on afflicted bodies.
    The people’s reactions were so joyous as to be almost frightening. They jumped and shouted and wept. Before they could thank or embrace the candidate he was well down the rope line healing others. Their excitement was lost in the general din of the crowd.
    Aides acknowledge that the phenomenon is occurring with greater frequency.
    "His power goes beyond simple inspiration," says one aide. "There is something developing here that I’m not sure any of us fully understands."
    They say Obama has told them privately that his time has not yet come, so it would be inappropriate to talk about the healings right now. He says he will wait until the convention to speak publicly about the "special calling" he believes he has to lead the country. They do expect him to start alluding to "the providential nature of what is happening on the campaign trail" in an upcoming address, mostly because word is getting around.
    People have begun bringing relatives by the score to campaign events in hopes of a healing touch.
    "It’s not the speeches that are drawing people anymore, as good as they are," says a senior staff member. "It’s people wanting to get better, and wanting their friends and relatives to get better. It’s the belief that there’s something more here."

Hilarious Thread on IMDb

BarakaWolf the GREEN WOLF — Thu, 21 Feb 2008 03:13:39 EST

I know there are a lot of creative people in our movement here, so I thought I'd plant a seed...

There's a hilarious thread on the David Lynch's Dune board on IMDb, spoofing the 2008 election through a Dune filter. They've cast Bush as the perverted and corrupt Baron Harkonnen (though personally, I think Cheney would be a better fit) and Bill Clinton as Duke Atreides. More! Read on...

Board: Dune (1984)
View: thread | flat | inline | nest I see two great Houses.... by teal123 (Wed Feb 13 2008 11:09:32) Ignore this User | Report Abuse ... House Clinton, House Bush... feuding.

I see you behind it.

You must share with us.

The Clintons are building a secret campaign using a technique unknown to us, a technique involving super delegates. Obama is becoming more popular in the electorate, he could threaten her. I have ordered House Clinton to occupy the White House, thus replacing their enemies the Bushes. Then, at an appointed time, Jeb Bush will return to Washington and launch a sneak attack on House Clinton.

One small point... Chelsea Clinton... we want her gone.

You mean of course Hillary Clinton, her mother.

I mean Chelsea Clinton.

I did not say this I am not here.

Makes no sense I know. but the dynastic nature of the Clintons and Bushes always reminds me of Dune ;) No political commentary intended, nor opinion within.

McCain "Yes We Can" Video

C Dornfeld — Mon, 11 Feb 2008 15:49:03 EST

A very talented group of music professionals have come together and developed a spoof of the Barack Obama “Yes We Can” video. This new version of a political video features some talented people singing to famous lines from John McCain speeches, specifically focused on the war in Iraq.
