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!

Snark?

The Republicans are fearful, childish and got nothing... but this is pathetic.

What that supposed to hurt him or......what? The GOP is officially PATHETIC.

[Openeyes]

What exaclty is the connection to David Hasselhoff? Oh, and Obama would run an ad showing everyone in Germany thinks he's a Marxist?

I really hope the RNC spends a lot more money on this kind of crap, and never puts anything effective together. What's the next one, Obama wants to kill your children? Pathetic.

Stewie Griffin: "oooh thats fresh, got any Titanic jokes?"

Luv it !!!!!

LOL what makes it even funnier is that episode is like 5 years old and Titanic jokes were old then!

Sorry--

Hate and green-eyed jealousy are so ugly. When the opposition resorts to such desperation, it is a sign that we are winning.

[bosshogg]

are they really gonna run this ad. ????????

[TSM1]

Hate and green-eyed jealousy is so ugly! It just lets me know we are winning when they only run on "hate and jealousy".

How desperate are the Republicans. I mean, my God, that was the most pathetic attempt at humor I have ever seen. They should be ashamed of themselves. If it wasn't so lame I would be enraged. Instead I'm just amused that the GOP spent time and money on this. Picture the meeting when this idea was first presented. A bunch of old white Republicans sitting around a table giggling at the thought of Obama and Hasselhof.

Don't hassle the Hof.

Is THAT all they got?

Is this what happens when you're campaign is run entirely by lobbyists and no actual people with campaign experience?

[Muzikal203]

This is pretty lame.

[pqn]

i think i'm going to puke from the strobe light effect.

Is there a good epilepsy defense group we can forward that ad too?

[bosshogg]

OBAMA got a new response ad........­..........­... http://tpmelectioncentral.talkingpointsmemo.com/2008/07/new_obama_response_ad_uses_sam.php

They're showing their age. They really have no concept of how to capitalize on the internet. Their ideas are dated and they lack in basic respect for their audience.

[jpcline004]

For real, If anything it will make people like Obama more! If there is one thing that makes a viral video successful is when its unintentionally hilarious. This video cracked me up, but I was laughing at how stupid the RNC is if this is the best they can come up with.

[zippywpinhead]

WOW! that was absolutely terrible...

The RNC owes me 90 seconds (among other things)
