Rick Santorum: Obama is a sworn American enemy

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.

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.

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.

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.

Enough with your fancy-pantsy Latin mumbo jumbo.
If English was good enough for Jebus, it should be good enough for you and me.

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).

I'll say anything for a laugh...if it's actually funny.

Hold my beer and watch me make a stupid gun remark about our president doesn't qualify.
