Phil Spector Destroys Obama Campaign With Endorsement

Via Wonkette, we learn that Senator Barack Obama has got another round of renouncing and denouncing to do, this time because kooky record producer-slash-murder suspect Phil Spector was seen in court wearing a "Barack Obama Rocks" button, which is the Flag Lapel Pin of terrorists who God Damn America. Clearly, Obama will have to lose whatever loving feelings he has for Spector or Pat Buchanan will continue to shout crazy spittle from his teeny box on The Race For The White House. But why hasn't Obama done so already? Just last week he was in Berlin calling for the tearing down of the Walls Of Sound that divide us.

John McCain has been slow to run one of his hilarious ads on the subject, probably because when he first heard the Crystals sing "There's No Other (Like My Baby), McCain was 700 years old and it made him all a'scurred because it was "the Devil's music."

Oh, and Pat Buchanan on The Race For The White House this evening? MIND-BENDING.

This is the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard first of all how do we know that he isnt doing that becuase he wants to DESTROY the campaign.

I'm sick and tired of people saying simply because someone supports Obama its a reflection on who Obama is thats BS and this mess needs to stop.

Thankfully I suspect the American people are smarter than some of these pundits and bloggers may think.

umm, snark? at least it was an attempt at snark...

[kimbari]

And not a very good one. Snark should be funny.

This column is just like the New Yorker cover. It does damage while pretending it's just a hrmless joke. Jason Linkins is just a little too full of himself.

[pupbayer]

This is not news. We all already knew all the crazies are Obama fans.

[08politicaljunkie]

I think it's silly for Barack to "denounce" anyone who wants to vote for him.

And only those in positions of influence can "endorse" a candidate. Who in the hell does Phil Spector influence? Who cares if Spector gets to pull the lever for a presidential candidate before the state pulls the lever for his electric chair?

You people are the taking the term "endorsement" too far.

[mcole]

SNARK!!

Some people on this comment thread are tripping me out taking this a little too seriously.

Come on people...he is being facetious. Get it? No one gives two shakes of rats behind what Phil Spector thinks or who he is supporting.

I still want that video of Maddow taking Buchanan to the cleaners!!!!

[mcole]

I KNOW!!! I NEED THAT VIDEO BAD BAD...!!

[DMHendrix]

Oh Jason....me too, man. I was laughing, clapping, and giving some MAJOR props to Ms. Maddow for her absolute SCHOOLING of Pat Buchanan on Race for The White House tonight. It was a glorious ass-whooping and Rachel should have monuments erected in her honor!

[PennP]

Jason, I don't think that button represents a real commitment, it's just covering up the hole for the feeding tube.

[ZimboChick]

lol....u guys are too funny

[ChewyToy22]

Has Barack denounced him yet?

"Senator Barack Obama has got another round of renouncing and denouncing to do" couldn't be truer. It seems to be his full-time occupation.

I wonder how long it will take him to realize how dumb this exercise is.

[ErinBerin84]

pleeease post a video of Rachel vs Pat. it was classic.

(lists off things about McCain this campaign that have been "presumptuous") and says "If you can't say the same things about McCain, but can say the things that Obama have been doing- that have been less damning- are presumptuous, then that says a lot more about you than it does about Obama, Pat." (or something).

[PKSSK]

DKos tried to post video of this segment and so far MSNBC has released the video of tonight's show, but excluded the segment you mentioned. Very strange.

[DMHendrix]

Are you kidding? Damn! She knocked him OUT!

[KMan1]

Darn I missed Pat Buchanan again?

[mypov123]

Thanks, Phil...but no thanks.

[Jess27]

It's clear that Spector must be a McCain supporter, or he really is crazy for thinking that him wearing this button would be positive for Obama.

[Actionmac]

No he's hoping the jury is stacked with O supporters... remember O supporters drink the kool-aid and if he's for O he must be a good guy.

[ladeyday]

Had to say it twice, huh, because even YOU don't believe it.

[Actionmac]

No he's hoping the jury is stacked with O.bama supporters... remember O.bama supporters drink the kool-aid and if he's for O.bama he must be a good guy.

[ladeyday]

Had to say it twice, huh, because even YOU don't believe it. I did too

[TroubleNYC]

"...or Pat Buchanan will continue to shout crazy spittle from his teeny box on The Race For The White House."

hahahahahhaha

[robXdion]

Hey Jason, you GOTTA post video of the Rachel & Pat smackdown!

[305Rider]

Oh yea that was great.
