McCain...you obviously don't get this whole "internet" thing. I'm offering my assistance to bring up guys up to speed. For this week's lesson we'll start with vocabulary. The first word is, PWN3D.

Old black people are ESTATIC over McCain!

Change is coming- A whole new phase of discrimination! USA! USA! USA!

Quick! to the shoopmobile. I wonder if you can find clone tool usage in his montage.

This is just weird. Let's say there's 36 million black people. Of that, maybe 5% support McCain (1.8 million.) Of that group there's what, about 500,000 or so that'll vote for McCain?

And they had to use stock photos? WTF?

"Sambo beat the biatch".

Do you think that will bring in black voters?

I've seen political sites use obvious photoshops (ahem, I'm looking at you Daily Kos), and almost nothing is said about it, but McCain's website uses stock photos and this is worthy of our derision?

It's change you can photoshop.

Now that's digitized pandering you can believe in!

What I said in the other TFD thread aside, I could see this becoming at the very least, something to talk about, if the media could dig up the people in that photo and find out who their actually voting for.

Like the little girl in the 3am phone call ad that ended up being an ardent Obama supporter.

I don't think it's his website. It was the giant screen behind McCain during his speech last night.

You're actually apologizing for that?

I thought that was a photo from "Overly Enthusiastic Elderly Black Bicycle Riders Quarterly"

Martin Luther King on the last Arizona Senator that ran for president:

The Republican Party geared its appeal and program to racism, reaction, and extremism. All people of goodwill viewed with alarm and concern the frenzied wedding at the Cow Palace of the KKK with the radical right. The "best man" at this ceremony was a senator whose voting record, philosophy, and program were anathema to all the hard-won achievements of the past decade.


It was both unfortunate and disastrous that the Republican Party nominated Barry Goldwater as its candidate for President of the United States. In foreign policy Mr. Goldwater advocated a narrow nationalism, a crippling isolationism, and a trigger-happy attitude that could plunge the whole world into the dark abyss of annihilation. On social and economic issues, Mr. Goldwater represented an unrealistic conservatism that was totally out of touch with the realities of the twentieth century. The issue of poverty compelled the attention of all citizens of our country. Senator Goldwater had neither the concern nor the comprehension necessary to grapple with this problem of poverty in the fashion that the historical moment dictated. On the urgent issue of civil rights, Senator Goldwater represented a philosophy that was morally indefensible and socially suicidal. While not himself a racist, Mr. Goldwater articulated a philosophy which gave aid and comfort to the racist. His candidacy and philosophy would serve as an umbrella under which extremists of all stripes would stand. In the light of these facts and because of my love for America, I had no alternative but to urge every Negro and white person of goodwill to vote against Mr. Goldwater and to withdraw support from any Republican candidate that did not publicly disassociate himself from Senator Goldwater and his philosophy.


While I had followed a policy of not endorsing political candidates, I felt that the prospect of Senator Goldwater being President of the United States so threatened the health, morality, and survival of our nation, that I could not in good conscience fail to take a stand against what he represented.

the brave troops resting limbless at Walter Reed Middle School don't have the luxury of surfing the internet. Heroes don't complain about stock photos. They strap on their artificial limbs and dream of the day they can fight Obama again in Iraq.

You clearly read the article carefully, and then issued a well-thought out thought out response. Fantastic, just fan-farking-tastic work there, Skip.

I use istockphoto almost daily, so I'm really getting a...uh...eh...whatever.

I hate McCain.

Wow.

Between that and this...



...it appears that the whole thing was copy-and-pasted off of the Internet.

The only good news for McCain is that he can genuinely claim plausible deniability for these Internet fark ups, considering the man thinks a "website" is a special pair of binoculars used for spotting spiders.

Someone doesn't understand the different standards for candidates and advocacy sites.

Let me know when Dailykos is running for president so I can wear my careface.

That's wwhy i believe this race isn't as close as the pundits and pollsters want us to believe. The McCain camp is so amaturish compared to Obama, which beat the Clinton political machine.

LOL. This is what the Republican Convention looks like:




At the convention, they had to import cultural diversity digitally and place it on a big screen, and EVEN THEN it turns out to be fake.

That is CLASSIC fail and ABSOLUTELY worthy of our derision.

The next thing you know he'll be photoshopping pancakes.

McCain is winning in the "black people from stock photos found on the internet" demographic

And hot curly haired black women go moist for wireless broadband routers and mainframes.

GoodasGold: "Sambo beat the biatch".

Do you think that will bring in black voters?

In droves.

Jeezzz, don't take this too seriously. It is just funny, if obama did a similar thing, we would have some lols at him to.

Won't be a thread unless there is a recording or video. Then of course she'll be out of the ticket. But if there were recordings they would already be out.

The GOP.

Vote for us.

But if more than ten of you fail the paper bag test, the rest aren't coming to the convention, sorry.

He is going to have to dump her before the election.

Actual shot from the floor of the convention:

He can't dump her. She'd burn him like that nurse burned that other doctor in episode 15 of Doogie Howser, MD.

q&d political photoshops- does it get any better?

That link has a new story at the top:

A senior McCain campaign official advises that, despite the gaggle of requests and pressure from the media, Gov. Sarah Palin won't submit to a formal interview anytime soon. She may take some questions from local news entities in Alaska, but until she's ready -- and until she's comfortable -- which might not be for a long while -- the media will have to wait. The campaign believes it can effectively deal with the media's complaints, and their on-the-record response to all this will be: "Sarah Palin needs to spend time with the voters."

And she is ready to become president?
