The Republican National Committee has issued their “parody” of what they think an Obama-in-Berlin ad might look like. Ken Wheaton at AdAge responds: Perhaps the Republican National Committee needs to lay off the prescription drugs. It certainly should consider laying off web videos. Consider this monstrosity, which “provides a parody of what an Obama TV ad in Berlin, Germany might …

“For those who oppose the death penalty and want to see it end, our best bet is to vote for Barack Obama because his supporters have been working behind the scenes to end this practice. God bless America. It has been great living here. That’s all.” – Mississippi death row inmate Dale Bishop, shortly before he was put to death …

Reviews of Barack Obama’s speech in Berlin yesterday appear to be mixed, with the New York Times calling it “vague on crucial issues of trade, defense and foreign policy.” However, The Nation loved it, saying, “To much of the world, Bush’s talk of freedom is code for messianism, arrogance and empire. Obama reframed the debate–and reclaimed the word–with his spectacular …

More dumbassery from the McCain camp as they pander to Florida’s powerful Cuban vote. The truth is, there’s no love between Obama and Castro. The Castro advertisement actually uses the foreign leader’s words against Obama. But the quote is misleading in regards to the actual political dynamics in play. For starters, since Obama became the de facto nominee, Castro has …

This clip from John McCain’s YouTube channel makes the claim that the media is unfairly “in love” with Barack Obama.

Not necessarily surprising, unless you expecting it to be higher. Among LGBT adults, 60 percent favor Obama while 14 percent favor McCain. Three percent of LGBT adults favor Barr, while 1 percent choose Nader. Six percent choose “other,” while 17 percent of all LGBT voters are not yet sure which candidate to support — comparable to the general population. Among …

As a YouTube commenter wryly notes, Obama is totally responsible for rising gas prices because he went back in time and made sure that the world of the future would be dependent on a finite resource largely owned by foreign countries. Seriously ladies and germs, where’s all that oil we’re stealing from Iraq?

As usual, Jon Stewart nails it.

Rev. Jesse Jackson, who has campaigned against the usage of the N-word by rappers and the film industry, apparently used the word himself in that now-famous whispered conversation caught by Fox News. The Rev. Jesse Jackson used the N-word during a break in a TV interview where he criticized presidential candidate Barack Obama, Fox News confirmed Wednesday. The longtime civil …

I missed this when it came out this weekend. Obama’s run to the center has almost completely erased his lead over John McCain according to Newsweek. Other polls show Obama’s lead shrinking, but still as high as eight points. A month after emerging victorious from the bruising Democratic nominating contest, some of Barack Obama‘s glow may be fading. In the …

With his newest ad, Barack Obama continues to stress his willingness and ability to be a strong military leader and hypes his relationship with Republican Senator Dick Lugar, the long-time Bush-lackey war hawk who last year broke ranks and called for an end to the war. Still, this ad proves that when it comes to electioneering, terrorism continues to sell.

Via Queerty, here’s the latest result of today’s poll on World Net Daily, which ask readers to “sound off” on New Yorker’s Obamas-as-terrorists cover. At the moment, 60% of their wingnut readers believe the cartoon is “isn’t too far from the dangerous truth about the Obama family.” Embiggen for the idiocy.

The cover story of the current issue of New Yorker delves into Barack Obama’s rise from an unknown lawyer to a powerful Chicago politician, but it’s cartoonist Barry Blitt’s satirical artwork on that cover has got people screaming. Obama campaign spokesman Bill Burton: “The New Yorker may think, as one of their staff explained to us, that their cover is …

Barack Obama’s campaign has assured Pam Spaulding (author of Pam’s House Blend) that his faith-based initiative funding will not be allowed to be used for “ex-gay” therapies or for any project that advocates for a particular faith. Via Pam: A source with Senator Obama’s campaign (Director of the LGBT Vote, Dave Noble) has now confirmed to Pam’s House Blend that …

Rumors about this gaffe and the other whispered comments that Fox isn’t showing us have been flying all day. What else could Jackson have said that could be so bad that even Fox won’t show it? Jackson’s own son, Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr. even blasted his dad: “I’m deeply outraged and disappointed in Rev. Jackson’s reckless statements about Sen. Barack …
