GOP Presses ACORN Debate With Costumed Chipmunks

In the clearest sign yet that we Americans do in fact have portions of our minds left to lose comes this news of the ever-evolving attempts of the right to convince people that some crazy conspiracy between ACORN, some properly disclosed faulty voter registrations, poor homeowners, subprime mortgages, William Ayers, the Weather Underground, the actual weather above the ground, and that terrorist planetarium in Chicago with its weaponized overhead projector, actually exists. It hasn't exactly taken root with anyone outside the usual media crackpots, but all that's about to change because now the GOP is getting deep into COSPLAY. Yeah! There's your fracking GAME-CHANGER right there! Grown-ups dressed up as chipmunks!

And look, the idiot chipmunks have a blog, too, where they totally demonstrate the soundness of their arguments through images of them wandering around Times Square with dull expressions on their faces.

From Politico:

"It's a lighthearted way to raise a serious issue," explained McCain spokesman Brian Jones of the furry creatures.

Yeah? Or maybe? Just maybe? YOU ALL ARE HIGH.

This is real lame.....w­hy would we want this party to have control of our country after they have driven it into the ground?

[macaframa]

OMG I'VE SEEN IT NOV 4 tH CAN'T GET HERE FAST ENUFF ROCK THE VOTE OBAMA / BIDEN 08

[NationalTreasure]

ssshh don't let on to McCain/Palin supporters that the election is Nov. 4th. If you run into any McCain/Paln republicans tell them the election is Nov. 5th. :-)

Anybody stupid enough to fall for the antics of a couple of overgrown puppets is stupid enough to get the election date incorrect.

[maori]

Desperation is never pretty, but sometimes, it's cute and fluffy :-)

[leftbehind2000]

what are those two people doing in John McCain costumes?

[MiMolly]

Very cute, along with the tire gauges and cuff links they passed out. Is it me, or have they always been this childish? (I am rather old-and used to vote that way, so I guess I got my wake up call on so many levels.)

[MIMom]

Hokey Frack! This is one of the du mbest things I have ever seen.

BTW - Do they really want to draw the comparison to ole Chipmunk Cheeks? I thought not.

[UKThom]

LOL LOL LOL!!!

I was JUST thinking that!

[Zeppo2]

I dunno, makes McCain look a bit squirrelly to me.

[tsloan]

agreed.

[RepublicansHateAmerica]

This is the best! Is McCain going to wear this to the debate tonight? How will we know if he's looking at Obama of we can't see his eyes!

[NationalTreasure]

Everytime I see McCain tonight I will think of him as squirrelly McChipmunk Cheeks.

These chipmunks eyes even look like McCain's eyes.

Once again McCain and the junior high school republicans running his campaign have made a serious blunder.

McChipmunk Cheeks!! ROTFLMAO

[luvangelHussein330]

They better stay far away from palin, she'd hunt them and pass out chipmunk burgers in time for tonight debate. Mean while the stock market just dropped and these clowns still want to distract..­...from the issues

[TrooAmerican]

LoL, yea thosechipmunks have a lot of meat on em.

[zadig]

Mmmmmm, furries. Is it warm in here, or is it just me?

[bibb]

ALVIN!!!!! ALVIN!!!!!!!!

[TrooAmerican]

DUDE, the Opposition should totally get people to dress up in other types of odd animal and mascot costumes and pester these idiots and catch it all on video.

[aggiefrnk]

Are these the two running the McCain campaign ??

[aliceinthewater]

Dow dropped 733 points today.
Retail Sales of dropped 1.2% in September.
The words "dramatic slowdown" and "economy" are being tossed around by prominent economists.
-The word recession won't be used until November 5th.

What does the GOP do? Dress two people up as chipmunks, and have them talk about "voter fraud".

[StillweRise]

so so true.... BUT HOW MANY TIMES CAN WE PHRASE THIS AS A SLOW DOWN... A REAL SLOWDOWN..­.. AN EVEN SLOWER THAN THAT SLOW DOWN... A "DRAMATIC" SLOWDOWN..

DAMMIT, JUST SAY IT.... WE ARE IN A RECESSION.­.... !

[LeftNotRight]

Actually, they're trying to link what is actually "voter registration" fraud to "voter" fraud. Two very different things. The GOP knows this, they just figure they can conflate the two and their ignorant base will fall for it.
