Rick Santorum: Obama is a sworn American enemy

Ibby · 03-23-2012, 05:42 PM

No, REALLY.

Here's his new campaign video on youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature...&v=DApjHZq9o7M

Watch it again. 40 seconds in, with the line "sworn American enemy", the image of Ahmadinejad flickers momentarily into Barack Obama.

no, REALLY.

He's literally putting in "subliminal" images. This is just... too much.

Go home, Ricky.

Didn't I read recently that 'subliminal cuts' (which I'm not convinced this is actually supposed to be) don't work anyway?

I do think it's an awful piece of film though.

Ibby · 03-23-2012, 06:12 PM

i did put subliminal in scare quotes for a reason. I dont buy that it's honestly subliminal or intended to have subliminal effects, but still. It still calls obama a sworn enemy of america. what the fuck.

It's the most sentimentalized piece of crap ad I think I've ever seen. It doesn't even need subliminal, it's screaming for the hearts of the stupid and easily led.

Jebus would be rolling over in his grave.

Seriously? I thought he was up there, flying around with all the space debris.

Debris is the the devil's workshop.

There are some people who already feel this way. Santorum was showing how much of a good ol' boy he is down at the shooting range. As he opened fire on the targets down range, a woman in the audience, off camera, says "Pretend it's Obama!".

Seriously? Yeah, seriously.

V, you do know you told half the story and stopped there.

From ABC News:

Quote:

But the yell - the identity of the yeller is not clear, although the words were clearly audible - was in close proximity to journalists traveling with the candidate.

"It's absurd," Santorum said of the woman's outburst when reporters told him about it. "No we're not pretending it's anybody but shooting pistols. It's a very terrible and horrible remark and I'm glad I didn't hear it."

I'd argue against that. What we can be sure of is the woman is not a likely Obama voter. This does suggest a becoming disdain for bread-and-circuses and statism, which means maturity and a measure of intelligence.

Describe for me exactly how Obama is more "bread-and-circus-y" and "statist" than any of the competition in mainstream politics, and exactly which policies of his are major policy failures, please. What has Obama done that has been worse for America than what John McCain and Sarah Palin would have done.

Ibby · 03-23-2012, 07:03 PM

Santorum, to his credit, disavowed the shouts.

Yeah, it's sad.

It's called a modicum of decorum, people. Try to have some.

I'm glad to hear Santorum didn't play into it, but that comment is indicative of a certain frame of mind of many of his supporters.

But some of us will say anything for a laugh.

By the way, could someone post the meaning of the word santorum in their sig line (the one at the bottom of the post, whatever that's called).
