Honest Republican Propaganda Campaign

ANIMAL — Mon, 29 Sep 2008 19:28:42 +0000

During WWII the United States was on the frontlines of propaganda poster design and often employed racial motifs and what would be considered very unpolitical imagery by today’s standards. Here’s what a Sarah Palin propaganda campaign would look like if only the Republicans were honest about what could be the most unqualified vice presidential pick in the history of the Unite States, especially after that cringe worthy interview with Katie Couric that even has a conservative columnist demanding she step down for the good of the party.

Visualizing the ‘No-Talk Express’

Even more unprecedented than some half-truthed suspension of a political campaign is the McCain camp’s media firewall. Not only is the senator basically off limits but so is his running mate and especially their shadowy spouses. And with John McCain escaping through some backdoor of the White House this afternoon after dropping in like a financial G.I. Joe to singlehandedly save the country from complete destruction, click over for the handy visual and short summary of the Republican’s media strategy. |NotionsCapital|

McCain’s Fishy Oil Platform As Aquatic Habitat Claim

Spain-hating presidential candidate John Sidney McCain III was discussing the benefits of offshore oil drilling at one of his town hall gatherings and suggested how eco-friendly platforms can be for sea life:

“And by the way, on that oil rig — and I’m sure you’ve probably heard this story — you look down, and there’s fish everywhere! There’s fish everywhere! Yeah, the fish love to be around those rigs. So not only can it be helpful for energy, it can be helpful for some pretty good meals as well.”

However, Linda Krop of the Environmental Defense Center might disagree with the rigs serving as thriving artificial habitats theory:

“That’s like taking a picture of birds on a telephone wire and saying it’s essential habitat.”

If reading McCain’s words wasn’t painful enough here’s a link to the video clip. |ThinkProgress|

Obama Slams McCain

With Obama-themed merchandise flying off the shelves, basketball-influenced streetwear brand Undrcrwn designed this t-shirt graphic (image above) just in time for the Democratic National Convention (August 25th-28th). It features Obama skying over a white flag waving McCain. Although the image might resemble that balls in your face Nike ad—that was subsequently pulled due to the sneaker giant’s oversensitivity—according to the brand’s marketing director, the b-ball inspired motif is actually a homage to “Vince Carter’s dunk over France’s Fred Weiss in the 2000 Olympics” and “Barak Obama’s smooth game.” It’s being sold via 400 or what is Denver’s version of Alife.

When asked by the Politico how many houses he had, John Sidney McCain III couldn’t even recall, “I think — I’ll have my staff get to you.” The Obama camp saw this as a great opportunity to spin McCain’s memory loss into this great campaign ad. Oh and Senator McCain, the answer is seven.
