Hounds, You’re using HOUNDS?!

I had put this as a secondary bit in my last post but the more I think about it the more the idiocy sinks in.

Does the GOP really think that an ad that features HOUNDS chasing after the first black president’s policies is a smart ad? Hounds! Doesn’t anyone read or remember history around here? Do you have any idea what the MSM is going to do with this ad?

Of course these are the same guys who wanted to dump Toomy who are backing up Reichert and other who backed Cap and Trade?

Yeah, and people are worried about Sarah Palin being the image of the party?

Can’t anyone play this game?

Update: Maybe I’m paranoid but I see this going Trent Lott/Strom Thurmond at the begining of next week. It’s a gift to the democratic party, they don’t have to answer the substance of the ad, they can point to Republicans and hounds and symbolism and it will be all over the MSM.

IDIOTS!

Update 2: A friend just pointed out that Michael Steele is going to be asked about this ad. Do you want to be Steele answering that question?

Update 3: The Palin Resignation effectively makes this a non-story

Those Damn Pictures. More “Nast”-tness for the President

Pair this with the famous Heritage chart and that’s gotta leave a mark.

“Nast”tness refers to cartoonist Thomas Nast details here.

I agree with Hotair that these charts are better than the GOP commercial and can someone tell me who’s bright idea it was to feature hounds in pursuit of Obama jobs? Am I the only one who notices the symbolism in this ad might not be the smartest when used concerning the policies of the first black president?

Can’t anyone play this game?

You can’t turn on people you were never with

The title of this article is funny:

Has Obama Turned on Israel?

The premise was that he actually at any time supported Israel is a joke. One speech does not support make as the commentators at the Greenroom already knew.

You can not support Israel and Obama at the same time and anyone who thinks they can is a dupe.

The Other McCain bottom lines it best…

…for republicans unclean on the concept:

It was almost an exact repeat of what happened with Dole in 1996. Republicans never seem to learn: Your best candidate is always the one most hated by liberals.

It’s a very easy one keep that in mind and we will be fine. Nordlinger has a few more things to say about that hated one and Vanity Fair:

I’ve read the little blurb that precedes the piece. Actually, I’ve read just part of the opening sentence of that blurb.

The sentence begins, “Despite her disastrous performance in the 2008 election, Sarah Palin . . .”

Okay, was it? Was Palin’s performance disastrous? There were bad moments and incidents, to be sure — particularly the Katie Couric interview, as I recall. (I thought that the Charles Gibson one was not nearly as bad as some other people thought. I also thought that the interview reflected far worse on Gibson than on Palin.) But Palin had some very, very good moments — starting with that boffo, electric acceptance speech. And she was generally good — quite good — on the stump.

Also, consider this: John McCain has had about 3,000 debates on the national stage, running for president all those years. Palin has had exactly one. Who did better: the GOP presidential nominee, in his three debates last fall, or the vice-presidential nominee in her one — in her maiden effort?

You know I watched a lot of the Palin events on TV and attended one myself with my youngest son. I was even interviewed by the BBC concerning her at the Dover rally. Anyone who actually saw this woman in action knows what kind of candidate she was and would be. In my opinion she would be an even better leader.

This administration knows how things will be in 4 years. The media and the democrats know how they will be in 4 years.

Colbert joked yesterday about the second coming of Reagan in 2012. The Washington Post talks about a Clinton like rebound. If Sarah Palin is the nominee she will not be the 2nd coming of Ronald Reagan, she will be the first coming of Sarah Palin and that will be even better.

Update: Since this is way down the list as update 5 on this post i’m including here since the Anchoress take is not to be missed.
