If she's tough enough to be president, why treat her like a fragile flower?

Ah, the big strong military hero protecting the flower of white wimminhood against the Evil Black Man:




Wait a minute...haven't the Republicans used this kind of wolf imagery and footage before, in a different context?




I didn't even have to read the whole post at TPM, where the new ad was posted, to remember the wolf imagery used to represent Islamic terrorists in 2004. Nice dogwhistling, Mr. Rove. You get to evoke the earlier ad and reinforce the notion of Barack Obama as a Muslim Terrorist AND a Big Black Buck out to Debase Our White Women.

If the McCain campaign wants to use wolf imagery, why not just cut to the chase and run this as an ad:



I'm not sure how you fight this kind of thing, these lies and innuendo that play to people's most base fears; the things that keep them up at night, the notions they don't dare talk about. It's long past time for Obama to take the gloves off, but with the McCain campaign tapping the reptilian brain like this, I'm not sure what would work.

It's pretty much all up to the press at this point, and since the press has latched onto the "lipstick on a pig" thing and taken the McCain line that it's a slur against Palin, I guess we're pretty much screwed seven ways to Sunday.

Enjoy your new Christian Dominionist overlords, and enjoy yourself when they get the Battle of Armageddon they so desperately want.

Obama can take the gloves off, but unfortunately he is still a soft Ivy League darling at heart. He doesn't seem to have much fight in him. Americans appear to feel that Sara Palin would be a partner in a fight than Barack Obama.

"Soft?"

Your ill-informed comment is stupid and contemptuous, but I wouldn't expect anything less from a spoiled child of privilege such as yourself, especially a faceless punk who doesn't even have the guts to use his real name.

(Unlike, let's say, the "soft Ivy League darling" who refused to homogenize his scary-sounding name so he wouldn't frighten the nervous white folks.)

Anyway, excuse me if I'm confused, but can you please explain to me how a poor bi-racial child with no father and a white mother has managed to be one step away from being the next President of the United States? If his skin was a different color, we'd all be mesmerized by what an incredible, triumphant, only-in-America story it was. Instead, there's too many character assassins are trying to find the loopholes to explain his meteoric rise. Maybe it's luck or some free ride he got from those treacherous Affirmative Action programs. There's no way that Obama could have accomplished all of that by being smart, tough, articulate, and disciplined, right?

Sarah Palin is a greedy and traitorous backstabber who's popular because she tells the lies that misguided Americans want to hear. Barack Obama is a brave and intelligent African-American who is telling truths that Americans desperate for change need to hear.

Hopefully, misinformed folks like you are in the minority this time around. Otherwise, after the Crypt Keeper and the Hockey Mom finish sodomizing this country, there won't be anything left to save.
