RNC Ties Obama To ... David Hasselhoff

In the clearest sign yet that the Republicans have all but given up on even pretending that they have ideas worth selling to the American people, the Republican National Committee has sunk time and money into this ad, their "best guess" at what an "Obama ad in Berlin" might look like. Apparently, their best guess is founded on the twin precepts that Germans enjoy techno music and that in a crowd of 200,000 people, it's possible to find someone with "Marxist" friends. Even though it has nothing to do with Germans or Marxism or Berlin, the makers of this ad saw fit to include a woefully dated kicker of Obama yelling, "I'm king of the world!" Appropriately: a Titanic joke from a bunch of titanic jokes.

Anyway, NOW IS THE TIME ON SPROCKETS WHEN WE DANCE I GUESS!

Does it ever dawn on the pissants in the g.o.p. that all the Germans they interviewed spoke English and their "funny" comments were those of varying abilities to speak a second language.

hello doesn't the republicans know that we have a plenty of americans living in europe ,france ,germany,london & and they vote too for the president . this jealousy thing
is getting stale i hope iback fires on them. if only the high road was taken in this instead of the low road.

It is official. Obama is Stalin, Castro, che, Lenin, Marx all wrapped in one!
well, at least that seems to be the company line. Not sure what that idea is based on? anyone care to explain how Obama is actually connected to communists of the 20th century? I just don't see it.

You have GOT to be kidding me!
I hope they take out a month long national tv ad and burn all their money

[splittingred]

They paid for this?

[JRandomPoster]

Another observation: I wonder what night club those mavericky republicans got that sound track from, and just what those Family Values (tm) type folks were doing there....

[Azmom]

Ha!!! God lord, how pathetic!

[DesertLight]

I still missed the connection to H@sselhoff. Can someone help me out with this?

I still have fond memories of H@sselhoff eating that burger on the floor with his fingers while he was hammered.

Hasselhoff is German and loved in Germany.

[DesertLight]

All I can do is shake my head. There are no words.

[whiteboyblues]

This ad is disrespectful in so many ways

[neesy08]

LOL! I am embarrassed for anybody who admits to being a Repub!

[Shelly1970]

LOL

God, they sure are amateurs at video production and good ideas in general aren't they.

[MegInPA]

Holy crap. I feel like I've just gone insane -- no, no, it's not me. It's the RNC.

[recruitgal]

WTF was that supposed to be?? I am embarrassed for everyone involved in the making and approval of that "ad". Sad, sad, sad...

Thanks. I had not seen this ad. Hopefully, we will see more of the same.
