    wait- that was supposed to help obama?

    1. John C. Randolph   13 years ago

      Sure, cause it totally makes sense to equate voting for a Ruling Party politician with getting fucked.

      1. Big 'Orra   13 years ago

        As a guy who's been attracted to several lesbians ... I'd do her.

        1. Killazontherun   13 years ago

          Even while words come out of her mouth? I mean I have no standards but there are things that go beyond no standards like her mouth usage.

          1. Brandybuck   13 years ago

            There's a little bit of love/hate in every relationship.

      2. AlmightyJB   13 years ago

        To all the young virgins out there watching this video. Your first time should not be in the ass.

  2. Stevie OneLeg   13 years ago

    Haven't we all suffraged enough?

    1. John C. Randolph   13 years ago

      The sad thing is, she probably didn't even realize she was making the best argument against womens' suffrage any of us will ever see.

      -jcr

      1. BoscoH   13 years ago

        ...and an even better argument for chastity!

  3. Anomalous   13 years ago

    Girls is the most overrated show in the history of television.

    1. Paul.   13 years ago

      Oh, shit... she's on that HBO show? Oh now I know who she is. Scratch my message below. No not the other one, the porn one.

    2. AuH2O   13 years ago

      You just don't get how it defies our masculine expectations of good tv! /av club

      1. Cytotoxic   13 years ago

        AV Club: where hipsters go to get off on their own pretensions.

    3. Cytotoxic   13 years ago

      Which is it?

    4. Drake   13 years ago

      After all the hype and all their really good shows, I couldn't make it through an episode of Girls.

      I thought she was just playing a retarded fat chick.

    5. Don Mynack   13 years ago

      Agreed. That show is unwatchable.

  4. Jack-it   13 years ago

    This is a joke, right?
    No mention on recent college graduates getting their dream jobs, or jobs. No mention of Obama cutting the deficet. No mention of Obama cutting the waste out of government programs line by line.
    This is for girls, excuse me, women and, ironically, it is condescending, and insulting to them. But, then again, the ones who like this commercial are too stupid to notice.
    Pathetic.

    1. HazelMeade   13 years ago

      THIS.

      This ad says "Women should vote for Obama, becuase he's dreamy, and you'll get free birth control and stuff. "

      I'd like to see an ad from the Democratic side that says "We understand that women are just as concerned about the budget deficit, marginal tax rates, and unemployment as men."

      Instead we get ads that talk about education and healthcare like we all secretly want to be teachers and nurses. And insulting tripe telling us that women are JUST GAGA for the DREAMY President.

  5. Drunk Jamie   13 years ago

    Makes me want to fuck one of Obama's daughters. Hard.

  6. Episiarch   13 years ago

    OK, since this has to be epically retarded, someone describe it as I am at work and cannot WTFV.

    1. sage   13 years ago

      Retarded TEAM BLUE toadie talks about how much of an Obama fluffer she is, even though she don't like the meat loaf.

      1. Episiarch   13 years ago

        OK, can someone translate sage's gibberish for me, as I am at work and I don't speak imbecile?

        "She only speaks French, Roy. She doesn't speak imbecile."

        1. sage   13 years ago

          Watch it on your phone in the shitter. It'll help things along.

          1. Episiarch   13 years ago

            I just took a dump like half an hour ago. I don't think I can muster up another one for at least 20 minutes, and I'm not patient enough to wait. Now tell me what I want to know!

            1. Sudden   13 years ago

              Yell at the toilet like Kim Il Sung taking a shit:

              "COLON POWWELL!!!!11!1!1!!!!"

              1. Episiarch   13 years ago

                WHO DOES NUMBER TWO WORK FOR?!?

                1. JW   13 years ago

                  "Atta boy! You tell that turd who's in charge!"

        2. Tman   13 years ago

          Unattractive lesbian with overwhelming sense of self-importance uses the euphemism of her "first time having sex" as a description of her first vote for the glorious leader, PBUH President Not My Fault. Brings up the stupid fucking Leadbetter act again, how Obama personally carried each military member out of Iraq on his back and all around loves women UNLIKE THAT TERRIBLE HORRIBLE SATANIC MORMON WHO EATS BABIES AND RAPES WOMEN.

          Vote Barack! (swoon...)

          1. Episiarch   13 years ago

            Sounds epically retarded.

            SEE HOW IT'S DONE SAGE?

            It's interesting watching how the TEAMs manipulate their sheep. People were disappointed in the Big O, so they just cranked "hate the other, the other TEAM is evil" up to 11 and the sheep fall right back in line.

            1. Tman   13 years ago

              The funny part for me is I fucking HATED Obama since 2008 and didn't need any help from the GOP with that. His "soaring rhetoric" was familiar to me after being raised in Cambridge, MA and listening to various versions of Obama preach the gospel to their progressive brethren. The all sound the same and haven't changed their tune since the 70's (maybe even earlier). Obama was the trump race card they had been waiting for for decades to finally show that they were "like down with the bruthas man, and we will help them FIGHT THE MAN. Free Mumia!"

              I finally woke up after leaving that cocoon and realizing that liberals and progressives don't give a SHIT about the poor or minorities if they don't tow the party line, and Obama was the final and perfect example. Black and not voting for Obama? You must be a RACIST.

              I hate him and everything he stands for with a passion. The GOP could nominate Satan this year and I would probably vote for him over Obama. Nothing will make me happier than to watch the salty ham tears flow when this asshole finally gets taken down a notch and is forced to work the Bubba Clinton circuit with people constantly reminding him of what a failure to the cause he was.

              1. Killazontherun   13 years ago

                I had to read a chunk of Paradise Lost in high school. Have to admit, Satan gives a damn good speech.

              2. HazelMeade   13 years ago

                We are like soul-brothers, Tman. So feeling you.

              3. Pound. Head. On. Desk.   13 years ago

                I haven't worn my FRY MUMIA shirt in a long time...

          2. Paul.   13 years ago

            Unattractive lesbian with overwhelming sense of self-importance uses the euphemism of her "first time having sex" as a description of her first vote for the glorious leader,

            Her first time having sex musta SUUUCKED.

            1. JW   13 years ago

              I think this finally completes the "Get Fucked Hard by Obama" series.

            2. PM   13 years ago

              icwutudidthar

          3. General Butt Naked   13 years ago

            uses the euphemism of her "first time having sex" as a description of her first vote for the glorious leader

            Jesus, I'd de-genital myself with a rusty spoon if that thought ever crossed my mind.

          4. Agammamon   13 years ago

            ". . . of her "first time having sex" as a description of her first vote for the glorious leader. . ."

            Wait, she's saying that her vote for Obama was an uncomfortable, somewhat painful, messy trainwreck?

          5. PapayaSF   13 years ago

            Also vote for the person who "cares" if you have health insurance and "especially birth control."

  7. RobSmalls   13 years ago

    That pre-pubescent boy has the right idea. Barack Obama 2012!

    1. PapayaSF   13 years ago

      It's Pat!

  8. MikeP   13 years ago

    At least we're pretty sure she was 18. Unless she's in one of those states that doesn't have a voter ID law.

  9. widget   13 years ago

    So voting for Barack Obama makes you a woman. That's certainly a lot easier than having operations and taking hormones.

    1. Drunk Jamie   13 years ago

      So if you walk in a girl to the voting booth and vote for Gary Johnson, you come out Jenna Jameson.

    2. widget   13 years ago

      Tera Patrick! Tera is the porn star who is actively opposing LA's measure B that requires male porn actors to wear a condom.

      1. Drunk Jamie   13 years ago

        That would seem in violation of the Equal Protection Clause. *ba-da boom* I'll be here all night. Jerking off.

      2. Sudden   13 years ago

        I was planning on trying to organize a "No on Measure B" rally and do it in front of either a church or school (or better yet, Catholic school!) and see if we got people honking their horns in agreement. Maybe I'll throw a Gadsden flag into the mix so people think it's a tax protest.

        For the LULZ.

      3. Tulpa (LAOL-PA)   13 years ago

        If it were measure DD she'd be all for it.

  10. Bee Tagger   13 years ago

    I was just thinking the one thing McSweeney's 90 reasons was missing was an A/V cable.

  11. Mint Berry Crunch   13 years ago

    Am I an out-of-touch old fart if I had no fucking clue (before a Wikipedia search) who this woman is?

    The ugly tattoo got me thinking she might be a pornstar, but her face isn't pretty enough.

    1. Paul.   13 years ago

      Until we see her ass, the Jury's still out.

      1. sage   13 years ago

        I wouldn't hit this:

        Woof

        1. Pound. Head. On. Desk.   13 years ago

          I've been inspired to poetry:

          How does she gross me out? Let me count the ways...

          Catchy start, huh?

          1. Ted S.   13 years ago

            It doesn't scan properly. Each line in a sonnet has ten syllables. Your line has 11.

            (There are verse forms that alternate between 10- and 11-syllable lines, but I can't remember the name for that offhand.)

      2. sage   13 years ago

          You dirty motherfucker. There isn't a hot enough place in hell...

          1. Bill   13 years ago

            Was that your wife?

            1. Paul.   13 years ago

              No! I thought it was your mom!

        2. JW   13 years ago

          Yeah...I'm gonna have to kill you now.

          Nothing personal.

          1. Episiarch   13 years ago

            When I ambush him later on his ferry I'll put in a few extra blows for you.

          2. sage   13 years ago

            Hey at least I posted a pic with the "ladyparts" blurred out.

            1. JW   13 years ago

              Very true. For that, it will be a quick and merciful death.

        3. Restoras   13 years ago

          I hate you.

        4. Pound. Head. On. Desk.   13 years ago

          Or if you prefer:

          Shall I compare the to a winter day?
          From that pic it's more like a couple weeks.
          You remember that Christmas Eve?
          The 2004 storm where the power was still out a week into 2005.
          We saw each other across the room.
          And I decided I'd rather slowly, painfully freeze to death.

          OK,so my poetry career is off to a rocky start...

    2. Drake   13 years ago

      She's a retard who plays a retard on HBO.

  12. Ted Levy   13 years ago

    I'm sorry for my cultural illiteracy, but is Lena Dunham supposed to be someone for whose opinion I should have any concern?

    1. Paul.   13 years ago

      Oh, was the woman girl in the video supposed to be famous? I thought it was some actor hired for the video.

    2. Warty   13 years ago

      I thought she was some sort of genetically engineered horror that was designed to make me remember every fat girl I've ever woken up next to.

      1. Paul.   13 years ago

        All of them? At the same time?

    3. Tulpa (LAOL-PA)   13 years ago

      Isn't she the one who let Steve Garvey's ball go between her legs?

    4. JW   13 years ago

      is Lena Dunham supposed to be someone for whose opinion I should have any concern?

      Other than avoiding it? Nope.

  13. Warty   13 years ago

    Girl...you'll be a woman...soon.

    1. Episiarch   13 years ago

      Tonight...YOU.

  14. Paul.   13 years ago

    Needs more mention of ladyparts.

    1. Tulpa (LAOL-PA)   13 years ago

      Johnson?

      1. Fist of Etiquette   13 years ago

        What do you need that for, Dude?

  15. Jerry on the road   13 years ago

    She was 18 in 2004, so her first time was with John Kerry. Ewwww.

  16. widget   13 years ago

    It should be with a guy with beautiful.../chop

    I know my limits. I am unworthy to finish that sentence.

    1. Sudden   13 years ago

      It had originally said "beautiful eyes" in the transcript, but the actual speech sounded too much like "beautiful lies" which would also fit in with both a) anything and everything Obama has said and b) the metaphor of your first time with a man (claims to love you, penetrates, and disappears the next day).

    2. Episiarch   13 years ago

      Testicles. The end to that statement is testicles. Come, just say it. You'll feel better.

      1. Sudden   13 years ago

        That particular Jezbian would never find testicles particularly attractive, let alone beautiful. I think she'd be more interested in Michelle's exotic FUPA.

        1. Bill   13 years ago

          Unlike most other people, you mean?

        2. Episiarch   13 years ago

          It doesn't change the truth of my statement one bit.

          Dennis: You're watching my tapes again?

          Mac: Yeah.

          Dennis: What'd you think?
          Mac: You got weird balls.

          Dennis: Hm.

          Charlie: You should see Frank's balls. They're like planets.

    3. JW   13 years ago

      Liver. With a fine chianti.

    4. Generic Stranger   13 years ago

      Don't worry; so was she.

  17. Tulpa (LAOL-PA)   13 years ago

    My first time was with Bob Dole. He didn't even need any blue pills.

    1. Sudden   13 years ago

      My first time was with Harry Browne.

      And yes, that does make it sound as though my first time was sodomy.

    2. Fluffy   13 years ago

      My first was Pappy Bush. And he won.

      Can you believe I had a chance to vote Paul on the L line and didn't take it?

      That is probably why I never bitched that he didn't go third party last time or this time. I don't have the fucking right. I had a chance to cast that vote and didn't take it.

      1. JW   13 years ago

        Can you believe I had a chance to vote Paul on the L line and didn't take it?

        I did, in '88. It was to make amends for the '84 Mondale vote of my callow yout'.

      2. robc   13 years ago

        Ditto on everything Fluffy said.

        I even registered GOP (shudder) in 2008 to make it up to the Doctor.

    3. Enyap   13 years ago

      My first was with Bob Barr. Great mustache ride, but then he went and cheated with those whores Baby Doc and Gingrich.

  18. JeremyR   13 years ago

    Interesting article on why open borders will drive big government:

    http://www.miamiherald.com/201.....pains.html

    Basically, hispanics really, really like government.

    "In a recent American National Elections Study, in answer to the question: "Which of these two statements comes closer to your opinion, (1) The less government the better, or (2) there are more things the government should be doing;" 47.4 percent of the white non-Hispanic population responded "the less government the better." In contrast, only 17.9 percent of Hispanics responded similarly."

    But then, the people at Reason don't believe in voting, apparently they think a libertarian government is just going to magically happen

    1. Tulpa (LAOL-PA)   13 years ago

      It probably has more to do with being poor than being Hispanic.

      1. Heroic Mulatto   13 years ago

        It probably has more to do with being poor than being Hispanic.

        Maybe.

        On the one hand, you have the concept of the caudillo, which has been a part of Hispanic culture for a long time.

        On the other hand, Muthafuckin' Hernando de Soto and the Institute for Liberty and Democracy, bitchez!

      2. VG Zaytsev   13 years ago

        What's the matter with Kansas?

    2. Sudden   13 years ago

      An entire population of humanity represented in part with the word "panic" and you expected them to be in favor of smaller govt?

    3. Calidissident   13 years ago

      People can say whatever they want. White people have done nothing in practice to show that they agree with that statement

    4. Bananafish   13 years ago

      Maybe they are mostly Mexicans and think that the Mexican government should do more to stop the slaughter of innocent people by the cartels.

    5. Cytotoxic   13 years ago

      So the way you're going to prevent driving big government is with...big government.

      As if white people drive for the Total State just as much.

    6. Lisa   13 years ago

      Pretty much the whole world really likes government.

    7. robc   13 years ago

      Just because we allow them to move and work here doesnt mean we have to make them citizens.

  19. Brandybuck   13 years ago

    From the tats I would guess her first time was age twelve, behind the shed with her cousin. Not that I have anything against tattoos, but it's just not my style to write "SLUT" across my skin.

    1. Sudden   13 years ago

      but it's just not my style to write "SLUT" across my skin.

      When you look like her, that's about the only way you'll get any interest at a bar come last call.

    2. JW   13 years ago

      I thought it was a massive bruise.

      1. Sudden   13 years ago

        That would be apropos as well.

        "I know I should leave him, what with all the bruises and such he's given me. But he says he really loves me and says he's going to change."

  20. Fatty Bolger   13 years ago

    My first should have been Reagan, but I was underage, and Ronnie was a gentleman.

    Not that he needed my help.

    1. Drake   13 years ago

      That was my first vote and my freshmen year in college. It felt so wonderful. The bitter hippie tears were like ambrosia.

      1. Drax the Destroyer   13 years ago

        They were like nectar if you consider tears a beverage. Ambrosia was the food of the gods.

        Eh, it's like you guys didn't pay any attention in your bullshit mythology waste of money college courses.

        1. Drake   13 years ago

          I felt like a god that day. Taxes were going to stay low for the rest of my life. The government was going to shrink, not grow. The Democratic Party was vanquished. The Rockefeller wing of the Republican Party was dead - Goldwater types were permanently in charge.

          We were going to win the Cold War, then usher in an era of peace and freedom.

      Why do they have 3 electoral votes again? Can't Congress just cede the entire city save the mall to Maryland?

  21. Lyle   13 years ago

    Romney or bust!

  22. Tulpa (LAOL-PA)   13 years ago

    She's actually good for the deficit though, as her birth control bill is probably more like $18 a year. That's if we count yeast spores as births.

    1. geo1113   13 years ago

      She does resemble Sandra Fluke.

  23. Warty   13 years ago

    FUCK YES CONAN

    1. Sudden   13 years ago

      In honor of this news

      And yes, remarkably apt for this thread. That is, assuming you can classify the particular strain of humanity in the posted video as "woman".

      1. Sudden   13 years ago

        Speaking of "women", I have a theory on the feminist use of womyn instead.

        They are jealous of men (aren't all left wing pathologies rooted in envy?). And so, since they cannot have a Y chromosome, they adopt the "y" for their gender.

        1. widget   13 years ago

          So what are the womyn going to do with "she"? And what is the singular of "womyn"?

          1. darius404   13 years ago

            "Womin"?

          2. mr simple   13 years ago

        Obama, I have never prayed to you before. I have no tongue for it. No one, not even you, will remember if we were good men or bad, why we fought, or why we died.

    2. Fatty Bolger   13 years ago

      Is he playing Conan's father?

      Seriously though, that's awesome.

    3. widget   13 years ago

      It would be awesome if he got his plumpy body back in shape, traveled back in time, a slew the governor of California before the he signed the Global Warming Final Solutions Act.

    4. Fist of Etiquette   13 years ago

      He was able to get back in pretty good shape for his cameo in Terminator Salvation so I don't see why he can't do it again for another Conan.

      I think you can only get it if you also like 30 Rock.

      1. Fist of Etiquette   13 years ago

        I do like 30 Rock, so once again you've been proven wrong. By me. On the internet. In front of EVERYONE.

        1. Episiarch   13 years ago

          1. The Derider   13 years ago

            Yeah, holding political power in the United States sometimes involves doing shitty things.

            1. Episiarch   13 years ago

              Oh my, this is delicious. Let that mask slip, joe! Let it slip, scumbag. Please, PLEASE tell me you're drunk.

              1. The Derider   13 years ago

                Every president in the history of the United States has done shitty things.

                Was every person who supported any president in the history of the united states a "mendacious partisan scumbag fuck"?

                1. Episiarch   13 years ago

                  Yes, but most especially you, joe.

                2. JW   13 years ago

                  It's good to know that Nixon and Dubya have your unflagging support.

                  God damn, if you wouldn't have made such a useful toadie for the Central Committee. You missed your calling.

              I only need to worry about being an unwilling victim to you and your thugs.

              Go win one, joe. Win one for the droned wedding parties.

              1. The Derider   13 years ago

                Leave while you can, before they start confiscating the property of emigrants.

        2. Episiarch   13 years ago

          Thanks for admitting you care nothing about principles and only about winning, joe. It's about time you came clean about being a mendacious partisan scumbag fuck.

          1. JW   13 years ago

            Party before people.

          2. The Derider   13 years ago

            I care about issues AND about winning. Because without the latter, the former doesn't matter.

            1. JW   13 years ago

              Who wouldn't you kill or throw into jail to not win, joe?

              Rational, civilized minds want to know.

              1. The Derider   13 years ago

                I wouldn't do either to WIN.

                I'd do either in the course of governing if the alternatives were bad enough.

                3. JW   13 years ago

                  You do it every fucking day, scumbag. You happily, eagerly, aid and abet. Every atrocity committed by your gang is on your hands.

        3. John C. Randolph   13 years ago

          I'm happy for you that you enjoy being a Ruling Party toady. I'm reminded of the words of Sam Adams:

          If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude than the animated contest of freedom ? go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains sit lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen!

          Of course, you won't get wealthy under this particular Ruling Party's plunder-and-bailout program, but you get the idea.

          -jcr

          1. The Derider   13 years ago

            I'm glad you agree that the libertarian party has no chance whatsoever to win.

            Don't do anything to try and change that outcome. Failure is inevitable.

            1. JW   13 years ago

              joe is the old gum on the heel of the boot stamping on a human face, forever.

              The mask is full off now. Joe just told us he thinks Obama is going to lose.

              We get his tasty salty tears 12 days in advance.

              Hey Joe how will it feel when the Johnson vote is the margin between the Obama loss and Romney win?

              I know your tears will taste all the better.

      I can imagine what women have against you, joe. Short, stupid, and angry aren't the most charming characteristics for pulling in the ladies.

      1. JW   13 years ago

        Demeaning, arrogant and ill-tempered. Don't forget his better qualities!

        1. The Derider   13 years ago

          Aren't those the assumed traits of every H+R commenter?

          1. Episiarch   13 years ago

            And like clockwork, TEAM BLUE joe engages in projection. It's like you want to be as predictable as possible. It must be because you're an idiot.

      2. Warty   13 years ago

        Do you notice how he's claiming to speak for women? How...what's the word? Oh, right, sexist.

        1. The Derider   13 years ago

          Yes, suggesting women might be repulsed by a rape joke makes ME the sexist.

          1. JW   13 years ago

            I'm pretty sure that they can do that all by themselves there, big guy.

            What a hero.

            1. Episiarch   13 years ago

              joe figures that women might talk to him if he collectivizes then and decides to speak for all of them as if they were all exactly the same.

              Yes, joe is fucking retarded.

            2. The Derider   13 years ago

              I'm pretty sure you don't have to be a woman to recognize sexism.

              1. Episiarch   13 years ago

                I'm pretty sure you couldn't recognize anything except identity politics even if it was as short as you and actually on your eye level.

                Fuck, you're stupid.

              2. JW   13 years ago

                No, but you only have to be a self-absorbed twerp to think you need to speak for them.

              3. darius404   13 years ago

                No, but you do have to 1) have a brain, and 2) be tall enough. You fail on both accounts.

          2. HazelMeade   13 years ago

            It's not a rape joke. It dates back to the journal of a early 20th century British Lady describing in her diary when she did when her husband came knocking late at night.

            I think I may know what joe's problem is now. Remember when he said he drove around in a girly car with a collapsible roof? With a redhead riding shotgun? This is what he didn't tell us. The car belongs to his mother, the redhead was his mother, and joe too is a ginger. It all makes since now. Poor fucking bastard, why doesn't he just shoot himself?

            1. juris imprudent   13 years ago

              Joe lives in MA - he can't shoot himself.

        3. Sudden   13 years ago

          I happen to believe that most women have greater concerns than simply their vag and are far more interested in the good of the country as a whole (no pun intended).

          This sort of identity politicking shows the left for what it really is and how little faith it actually has in the ability of people to think broadly.

          It demonstrates at a visceral level TEAM BLUE's complete and utter lack of awareness: the people that think self-interest is vile in the economic sphere appeal only to self interest where electoral politics are concerned.

          1. The Derider   13 years ago

            What do you think about women's opinions of rape jokes?

            1. sage   13 years ago

              Do they all have the same opinion? When they speak about it does it come out like "BAA BAA BAA BAA"?

              1. The Derider   13 years ago

                I'm thinking in a statistical sense, like "what percentage of women do you think would be offended by a rape joke"?

                I think that percentage of women would be statistically significant. I'm suggesting this might be a reason that there aren't a lot of women around here.

                      he moves a lot of goalposts
                      joe is a short man

            2. Sudden   13 years ago

              First, I don't think of women as some sort of monolithic group that has a single, agreed upon position about anything. Rather, I think of each individual woman as having an independent opinion regarding all manner of things, including the phrase posted above.

              As for the "rape joke", this particular phrase a cultural artifact has never been a joke and was actually coined by a woman (Lady Hillingdon). Moreover, in this context, I think anyone without a propensity toward and active search of feelings of aggrievement would note the title for what it is, comparing the act of choosing either TEAM BE RULED clown as akin to whoring yourself out.

                Seriously? They only make up the majority of the human population. Trying to speak for all of them can't be too unreasonable.

                Thank you. It's not a rape joke at all. To interpret it as such strikes me as a bit feverish.

                tv tropes has an entry on it:

                http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmw.....kOfEngland

                It's in a text talking about a woman's wedding night (at the time, presumed to be the night she lost her virginity).

                "For women, sex is a chore, a duty that must be endured. God knows they don't enjoy the sex act. Headaches, stomache aches and periods can only postpone the unpleasant act. Then it's time to grit your teeth, hike your skirt, Lie Back and Think of England."

                So fuck off, Joe.

          It's INSULTING.

          Is that isn't a sexist ad, what the fuck is?

    That can be a big problem for a president, when people start finding you boring.

    Americans hate boring.

    And Barack Obama is boring.

    His ads are boring.

    His speeches are boring.

    Obama's been saying the same thing for four years. If he was a television show, they'd cancel him for being boring.

    1. HazelMeade   13 years ago

      Boring isn't the word. Vomit-inducing is more like it.

      That ad is an insult to the intelligence of every woman in America.
      Especially the ones who vote Democratic.

    2. PapayaSF   13 years ago

      As Hazel says, this ad is not boring (I'd say train-wreck fascinating), but otherwise, absolutely. He has become boring in the way something fascinating can turn boring. Obama had the right marketing campaign four years ago, but it won't work a second time. Too many people have felt the results, and seen the out-of-it and/or annoyingly peevish Obama of the debates.

      I predict that in the privacy of the voting booth, lots more people are going to vote against him (or not vote at all) than the polls suggest.

      1. Lewisite   13 years ago

        I predict that in the privacy of the voting booth, lots more people are going to vote against him (or not vote at all) than the polls suggest.

        Yeah, I think it's like a lot of people are bored out of their mind with Obama. You call them up, and they tell you they plan to vote for him--like they plan on starting to exercise more and go on a diet. Obama supporters may say what they think they're supposed to say when you call them up on the phone, but they're as bored out of their minds as the rest of us. Why the hell would you go out of your way to vote on the way home--for someone as boring as Obama is?

        Obama's so boring.

        It's like listening to an old man tell war stories.

        I swear to God, it was fascinating the first 50 times you told that story, Grandaddy!

        ...but nobody wants to tell him he's already told that story 50 times before.

        So, he keeps telling the same story over and over again, and every time, he acts like it's the first time we've ever heard it!

        You know that old saying about how if you say something often enough, it somehow becomes true? Well, I don't know if repetition makes it true, but I know it definitely makes it boring.

        boring, Boring, BORING!

        Obama is BOOOoooOOOOOOORING!

        1. PapayaSF   13 years ago

          And I think (or at least hope) that the Democrats have shot themselves in the foot with the "disagreeing with Obama is racist" meme. It's boring AND offensive. You may not say it to a pollster, but in the privacy of the voting booth, a vote against Obama might be a satisfying "fuck you."

    As for the "rape joke", this particular phrase a cultural artifact has never been a joke and was actually coined by a woman (Lady Hillingdon).

  48. HazelMeade   13 years ago

    That ad is blatantly sexist, and the Obama campaign should be ashamed of having made it.
    I wouldn't be surprised if they were forced to pull it in a couple of days. If it doesn't generate appalled reactions from a large swath of American women then I'll be disgusted with women in general.
    I surely hope that most American women aren't the giggling air-heads who think of candidates as potential romantic partners.
    I know this is a popular theme in the media (women like go CRAZY for him1), but I'd like to think most of us are a bit more mature than a 1960s Elvis fangirl.

    1. PapayaSF   13 years ago

      From their point of view, it's progressive, edgy, sex-positive, and multicultural. Young white lesbian hints at sex with older black guy: other than possibly offending some lesbians who don't like bi girls, it hits the right buttons for the current lefty mindset.

      Fascinating that they are playing so much to their base in the closing weeks. That is not the sign of a winning campaign.

              Why do lesbians need birth control? Much less birth control on someone else's dime?

      2. HazelMeade   13 years ago

        It may be all of those things AND SEXIST.

        Because it regards the female voter as someone who votes with her genitals. Someone who is ruled by emotion and gets giddy feelings and touches herself when she thinks of her favorite candidate.

        I don't care how "sex-positive" it is. It is SEXIST to portray female voters as having "sex-positive" feelings about political candidates. It is SEXIST to run an ad that portrays women as being motivated by romantic attraction to the candidate.

        Now some people occasionaly may portray male voters as voting with their dicks, but usually that isn't meant as a compliment, and it certainly isn't thought to be a cute way of selling the candidate to men.

        The ad sends a clear messade to young women: "We have no respect for your intelligence, and everyone knows you vote with your gonads, so Vote for Barack, because it would be Romantic! He's SO DREAMY!"

        1. JW   13 years ago

          All I got out of it is that power is an aphrodisiac, Dunham is not only an easier lay than a drunk sorority pledge, but also an insufferable, social climbing star fucker.

          1. HazelMeade   13 years ago

            What I got out of it is Dunham gets all tingly when she thinks about voting for Barack.

            She probably lies down and listens to 'Like a Virgin' while reading his National Economic Plan pamphlet.

    2. 0x90   13 years ago

      Also note that the ad is targeted not at women in general, but specifically at those between the ages of 18 and 22, giving it an even greater creepiness factor. As a fun exercise, let's take the same message, but replace the actor with a different spokesperson, say for example, an Anthony Wiener or a reanimated Ted Kennedy.

    4. Ken Shultz   13 years ago

      They certainly don't help the libertarian cause any.

      Although, I think there's something about playing identity politics that tends to bring that out in people.

      Suggest that whatever race, gender, orientation, etc. should vote for one candidate over and over again, year after year, and the chances of people starting to go after whatever race, gender, orientation, etc. start to approach 1.

      I mean, there's no reason for libertarians to fall into the trap of making ourselves look like a homophobes or misogynists, but you can't engage in tactics that are sure to bring out the homophobia and misogyny in people and then feign surprise, either....

      Also, it should be said, libertarians--by a huge margin--supported gay marriage for eons before Barack Obama did. Barack Obama was indistinguishable from cultural conservatives on the gay rights issue as recently as, what, four months ago?

      You're right about misogyny and homophobia hurting our cause when expressed in comments, but it's not like we've been advocating using the government to actively discriminate against gay people on the issue of marriage--like Barack Obama did for more than three and a half years.

      The Democrats have never in my lifetime actually addressed female voters as adults with the same concern as men. It's always "Vote for us, because it's FOR THE CHILDREN!" or "Vote for our candidate, because HE'S SO DREAMY!"

      That's way, way, more sexist than a blond joke.

    Your first time should be with a great guy. A guy who loves torture, I'm sorry, enhanced interrogation. A guy who loves murder (via hellfire missile). A guy who punishes people for breaking the same laws he broke. A guy who was against gay marriage before he needed that sweet, glitter-covered campaign cash. A guy who makes it harder for women to get hired (Lily Ledbetter). A guy spends money he doesn't have on his friends and cronies. A guy who refuses to disclose his past.

    Your first time should be with Barack, in the ass, good and hard.

    Obama 2012.
