It's like the whole boxers vs. briefs deal from Clinton vs. Dole.

Facilitator: "Senator Dole...Boxers or briefs?"

Sen. Dole: "Depends."

I made this for a previous Ron Paul thread

NPR's Bryant Park Project tackled this bit of idiocy shortly after the article was written. Alison Stewart and the other dullard co-host babbled on and on with a degree of thoughtfulness on par with that found in a highschool prom committee meeting, which isn't really a stretch from the tone of the article.

subby: Is Obama a Mac Daddy?

Yes. Yes he is.

Ron Paul's really more like a typewriter. Or a quill. A bigoted quill.

No, actually they are people.

Wait. I thought Mac's were for hipsters w/ no computer skills. I guess I see the correlation.

John McCain is an IBM 360. Ancient, expensive, no new software, and unthinkingly runs programs he got from the last guy who worked there.

Says it all, I think.

Damn you! I came here to say John McCain is like a TRS80 from Radio Shack.

EdTheHead: Biggest reddest buton

lol wut

Obama is a Mack and Clinton is a Fece...

This is obvious as all get out. Mark Penn and his firm Burson-Marsteller are big Microsoft image consultants. Yes indeed. The very same guy who brought you the "Windows Vista... it's inevitable" campaign brought you the "Hillary Clinton... she's inevitable" campaign.

Whole lotta suck right there.

Obama isn't a mac, because he's married to a rather attractive woman.

I think I should just go ahead and make up my mind about the November elections now, assign a back up and then turn off all media between now and then. The Stupids have completed their take over of all news reporting agencies in this Country.

Or I could brush up on my Spanish and just read news from Spain and Latin America ...

/becoming more and more serious/

I see Obama as a computer that runs Ubuntu and has tons of room for expansion, whether RAM or extra hard drives and somehow is able to run any processor you throw at it. Oh, and two DVD burners overclocked to burn at the fastest speeds.

Clinton, however, is that old eMachines beater that your parents use when they "want to surf the intraweb" and will never give up because it worked about ten years ago and that's all that matters to them. Plus, if they got rid of it that Windows ME registration code would go to waste.

McCain? WebTV.

EdTheHead: Clinton:

Hillary Clinton is a dot matrix printer. Or at least she sounds like one.

McCain is Pong.

Macs aren't allowed to have that many delegates, at most 5%
But are considered real cool & hip.

They're completely missing the point where John Hodgman is awesome and Hillary Clinton is a succubus.

/Did you know what you did not know about hoboes?

If Hillary is a PC, does she have any virus' from Bill?

dogfood: McCain is Pong.

He's more like an ENIAC

I think Ron Paul's the Mac in this analogy. Intensely popular with about five percent, who can't figure out why everyone else isn't on board.

I was thinking the exact same thing, but it occurs to me that maybe McCain is an abacus. One that's missing several beads.

TMBGfreak: They're completely missing the point where John Hodgman is awesome and Hillary Clinton is a succubus.

It's hard to root for Macs too much when they choose Justin Long to represent them. Especially up against Hodgman.

McCain is a pile of counting dung.

You might reconsider your position if you crapped out the coin for Hodgman's "The Areas of My Expertise."

Mac users are n00bs who think they are better than everyone else just cause they bought some shiny Mac with no substance but a lot of flash.

John McCain is an abacus.

Let me guess: your idea of humor in print form is "1001 Truly Tasteless Jokes".

/Hodgman FTW!

Macs have maybe 10% market share, I'd say that that Obama has significantly more share than...

Wait a minute, why are we arguing about this? It's pointless, stupid, and encompasses all that is wrong with the way the media is currently presenting/reporting on the campaign.

I do find it funny that the design of the sites do mimic the perceived personalities.

Hillary's is very business like and a bit dry and serious. Obama's is a soothing, cool feel and McCain? His is mostly in black and white ... 'cause he's old ;)

Mark me for a little of column 2, and a little of column 3.

I have read that book multiple times through. Although nothing can quite compare to the audiobook.

/Then for only the second time in recorded history, and for an entirely different reason, the Senate chamber filled with lighting and terrible noise.
//Can't wait for the moleman book

Hillary Clinton is a shameless whore and Barack Obama is the next President of the United States.

(How was mine?)

How do you submit a New York Times link? I always get a 302 Redirected Temporarily error when I try to.

jefe_gonzo: You might reconsider your position if you crapped out the coin for Hodgman's "The Areas of My Expertise."

Oh man, that is a bucket of fail there, friend. That book is open-to-any-page-and-pee-your-pants funny.

Well, then Ralph Nader is Linux. If the other two would use him as a standard, everything would be so much better.

I thought Obama was a ROCK STAR!

As conservative as the NY Times is, I'm not surprised they're running this tripe.

Goodfella: As conservative as the NY Times is, I'm not surprised they're running this tripe.

Equating Obama with the "cool" product and Hillary with the "uncool" product shows the NY Times as conservative.

You, Sir, suck royal.

"Areas of my Expertise" is quite possibly the funniest book I've read in years. I enjoyed it more then George Carlin's last.

/Furry Old Lobster FTW.

Marcus Aurelius: Typical. Ron Paul gets marginalized. Again.

Actually, since they're comparing Democrats, Mike Gravel might be a better crackpot hopeless longshot to compare with. Besides, Linux supports Evolution.

For Republicans, you'd probably want to use Bible translations. McCain is thus perhaps the "New King James" version.

Gore would be BEOS (still weirdly popular, despite the FAIL).

I am not sure about Obama, but Hil-liar-y is most definitely a lying pile of shiat!
