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!

this is a joke right? Gotta be. . . . you can't be serious.

You can almost see McCain at the head of the table saying "You know what would be really funny..."

Of course, it might be difficult to hear him above the sound of Schmidt grinding his teeth and wishing he was some place else.

I'm honestly not sure what to say? HAVE THEY LOST THEIR BLESSED MINDS?????????? WOW. This is what implosion looks like up close. RIP RNC

[Denemator]

They may think their minds are blessed, being such fine upstanding citizens and all but there is nothing blessed about criminal warmongering pedophiles.

"the following parody is our best guess"
That says it all really.

[postboy]

this is so stupid

[LemonFreshScent]

I bet this was R.ove's Idea. He is so jealous.

[Dutchy]

Wow! I get the feeling McCain is running just to take the piss.

Also am I the only one who thinks that this is vaguely offensive to the German people...

[hi5dud3n355]

um...

[AdLib]

What is it about membership in the Republican Party that is mutually exclusive with a decent sense of humor?

[PAposter]

I'm confused, was that an attack ad?

[poco767b]

A German knows an American Marxist who likes Obama, thats all the proof I need that Obama is a dangerous radical.

[superbust]

This is awesome. Even the dumbest of Americans will see the desperation in this silly ad.
Seriously, it was just stu-pid.

[lincat]

I think you're giving dumb people too much credit.

[Denemator]

Yes there is no limit to stupidity among goppers

[letsbepeaceful]

agreed - way too much credit. There are a lot of people out there who can't see past their own noses - the conservative blogs and such are really scary to read and try to post on

[AngryBlackChick]

This is the best idea I've seen since barackbook.com~!

[peacefulworldcitizen]

BarackBook.com is all but gone now.

LMAO!

[superbust]

Even Mark Penn wouldn't have run such a nonsensical ad. I want to know how much the jokers running Johnny M's campaign are getting paid. He-ll maybe they aren't getting paid.

This is incredibly stupid!
