A Curious Attraction
The Democratic National Committee has decided to lash out against the McCain campaign, unwisely stumbling down a path I predicted yesterday with a Mac vs. P.C. on Oil satire.
They've launched a new campaign to link John McCain to "big oil," blithely ignoring the fact that their campaign was prebunked before it saw the light of day. They also chose to ignore the fact that the middle class and working class that makes up their base are the owners of the oil companies, with their pensions tied up in oil company stocks. When Democrats attack, these companies, they're attacking the retirement plans of average Americans.
There is also the pesky little detail of Obama himself taking hundreds of thousands of dollars in contributions for oil-industry related individuals as well. With this their best idea, it has become rather obvious why Howard Dean flamed out as spectacularly as he did during his abortive presidential run.
But that is neither here, not there.
The DNC has new goodies online, from buttons to bumper stickers to yard signs.
Notice a common thread in all of them?
Yes, a no doubt unconscious attraction to that infamous symbol that frames the murderous live's work of Che, Lenin, Mao, and Stalin, the communist red star, first in their blessed revolutionary hearts and coming to a bumper sticker near you!
Being ever helpful, I took their campaign logo to it's logical conclusion.
heard a good one yesterday how dose someone who could not even pass a low level securty background check for a fed job get elected to the senet and become canadate for presadent????????

Posted by: DirtCrashr at August 6, 2008 02:04 PMWhy would the DNC link McCain to Exxon, then employ a Texaco graphic? Oh. Because they're morons.
Personally, I preferred the NiXXon slander from the early '70's.
Posted by: Velociman at August 6, 2008 04:49 PMSince when has the truth mattered to The Obamamessiah? After all, he's running an ad saying he was raised in Kansas when the closest he ever got was the southern end of Chicago.

Posted by: 1903A3 at August 7, 2008 05:44 AMRE" Jingle-- (A). Texaco, my grandfather's lifelong employer. Their logo had a big, green "T" rooted in the base of the star during most of his lifetime, though they've following branding trends of other companies and have adopted a monochromatic logo with a big red "T" in the star now..

I emailed the DNC asking when they are going to sell shirts. As an ExxonMobil shareholder (and McCain supporter) I want one!
Think about it, Exxon is certainly much less corrupt than most members of Congress!!
Posted by: Fred Fry at August 7, 2008 11:18 AMThe center star on the gas pump is actually the two-tone star used in the McCain logo. The communist star is solid.
Posted by: N.C. at August 7, 2008 12:22 PMAny of you bother to visit McCain's actual website? Take a gander at the top banner which appears on EVERY page?
Just saying....
Posted by: Ken at August 7, 2008 01:00 PMActually, I think they got that red star from McCain's web site:

Posted by: Tom at August 7, 2008 02:17 PMWell. It seems someone(s) already beat me to it.
This is my favorite version of the Red Star that I found on the McCain website.

It's very clever that the McCain people changed it from red to blue. I almost missed the obvious communist connection.
Posted by: Pockmark Notorious at August 7, 2008 03:49 PMUhm...yeah, Communist star? solid. McCain star? two-tone. Maybe McCain is half-commie?
P.S., No one show CY here a box of arm and hammer baking soda. His head may explode.

Wow, thanks for the insight !
You are talking about McCain, aren't you?

And we thought that whole Manchurian candidate thing was hogwash!
Posted by: skylark at August 7, 2008 08:33 PMYes, the t-shirt on the McCain website combined with CY's clear explanation proves beyond a shadow of a doubt that McCain is the Manchurian Candidate and is still under the control of his communist handlers in Vietnam. Thank god that CY discovered the truth in time!
