AMERICAblog: McCain's weird green screen? It was a mistake

  • Donna in Rome · 1 year ago
    This is too funny.
    Is the school going to file a complaint against the campaign, protesting their use as a political prop (like all the music they've been choosing is getting contested by the singers/writers)? That would be something!

    Isn't McCain running for High School President? That was about the level of the speech last night. The background throughout his speech was terrible, whoever planned that should be fired.

    LMAO!

    The GOPer pimps were trying to pimp the injured vets and they pimped themselves.

    That school looks like a nicer place than Walter Reed Hospital.

    How can anyone believe these people are fit to run a country???

    He Who Must Not Be Named !!

    McCain only referenced "The President" in his speech, but no mention of the name Voldemort...err, I mean No Mention of Bush.

    Only "He Who Must Not Be Named".
  • nicho · 1 year ago
    Yeah -- remember when they couldn't say Reagan's name enough? All of a sudden "The president" has no name.

    Just a series of boobs!

    McCain says that palin will not be available for interviews until after the election!!!!!!

    Now it's the medias job to keep her afloat. Every station has a mega-billionaire for an owner.
  • Donna in Rome · 1 year ago
    She's in hiding, in an undisclosed location. Didn't you know? That's simply part of the understudy work necessary for someone to follow in Cheney's footsteps, and she has to get it down pat.
  • HereinDC · 1 year ago
    Post this all over the internet.

    Go to every news web site and post this.

    Even McCain's people can't Google correctly..how can you expect them to tak on anything bigger?

    does McBush need lessons from Al Gore?
  • Donna in Rome · 1 year ago
    They really have some weird reverse talent. I just tried searching Google Images for the two words "Walter Reed", and after 12-13 pages no school had come up. They're mostly photos of the hospital's patients, but there are a few of the hospital itself: a large brick building, no green lawns. No school at all.

    Wow, how did they accomplish that???

    Palin lied about selling that jet on ebay:

    Maybe the cameraman wrote the speech.........and visa-versa
  • DeppFan · 1 year ago
    I wonder what subliminals were behind those screen images.

    Bin Laden and Zawahiri plotting their next move?
    Prom night dumpster babies?

    Hopefully someone is looking at each frame.
  • AdrianBrowne · 1 year ago
    Were the protestors during McCain's speech real? I've noticed that the Wingnut blogs LOVE it when someone protests Republicans. Mocking protestors is a tired, old bonding experience for them.

    ~~~~~~

    At one point after Palin spoke she was holding the baby under her one arm and trying to wave with the same arm. The television camera cut away but there's got to be some very disturbing photos of it.

    If Colbert isn't all over this tonight I'll eat my right arm...

    We can have a NEW Make McCain Exciting Green Screen Challenge. These are the same clowns, like Anastasia Beaverhausen, who sneered at Obama's Invesco Field set, which looked beautiful on TV for home viewing. And their own show was incompetently stage designed and managed, with no thought for how it would look on TV, and in the Excel Center the giant electronic slide show made McCain look like Tom Thumb. Dolts!
  • BLOGGING BITCH! · 1 year ago
    Lieberman will be helping prepare Palin for Biden debate:

    http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/ar...

    He has a Security Clearance too.
  • aquarius2 · 1 year ago
    Is that legal if Lieberman shares security information with someone outside. Unless they have elevated her security clearance I don't think you can do that.
  • KarenMrsLloydRichards · 1 year ago
    Wanna bet Dragalong Droopy will be the one talking into her earpiece at the Biden debate? "Um, Sarah, that's Sunni Awakening, not Shiite Bedtime..."
  • AdrianBrowne · 1 year ago
    Here's a photo of Sarah Palin's future son-in-law's tattoo of a wedding ring:

  • sukabi1 · 1 year ago
    I've always maintained that it wasn't that the Repubs run smarter campaigns or that Rove was a genius, as the media likes to say, but that it has been the "media" itself providing cover for the Repubs that has enabled them to "win"...

    Now that there is an alternative outlet for news to filter out these kinds of assinine screwups come at an alarming rate, and if there weren't the internet and the "angry left" keeping tabs on things do you really think the MSM would have mentioned it?
  • Rob Mule · 1 year ago
    The original green screen stuff was just a couple of short bites and half of the screen was eaten up by cable banners...Last night we had banner-free pictures, wide shots and long takes (like the whole dang thing) of editable speech...Add McCain's stilted and cheesey Big Brother delivery and I betcha we're in for some hysterical stuff, alot likely in production as I write this...

    holy sweet baby jesus... lot of funny stuff happening in this campaign, but this takes the cake. I literally just laughed myself to tears. still in shock and not sure how this could possibly be true.

    He should have just used one of his houses ahahahaha.

    Most people probably thought it WAS!
    And how do we know that Cindy doesn't own it? Just because it's a public school???
  • mstrmac · 1 year ago
    Apparently you all are fired. Your job performance is the reason. Its a school. Teachers that underperform need evaluation.
  • EmGD · 1 year ago
    Should have just stuck with a large flag, ala Patton. Thinking is what gets these guys in trouble.

    I get it. If John McCain gets elected, he'll see to it that during his administration, kids in this Walter Reed end up in the other Walter Reed!
  • flashcard · 1 year ago
    The McCain campaign.......the gift that keeps on giving! His campaign staff makes the Keystone Cops look like the A-Team.
  • rexkc · 1 year ago
    The clip art snafu must be what he's talking about when he says "We must catch up to history." The whole technology thing is a real challenge for them. But it is something to appreciate if you like the Three Stooges.

    They were simply trying to remind voters of Sarah Palin's experience on the PTA.

    I thought it was one of his houses.
  • TomJoad · 1 year ago
    Was there a picture of a white house anywhere in there...just wondering if they said, you know "and throw a picture of THE White House" up there....
  • percol8r · 1 year ago
    Downsize the military. Outsource domestic jobs.

    Guess it will take incompetence such as this -- at their own political campaign -- to show neocons how bad their ideas are.

    Political news doesn't often make me actually LOL, but this one did. Not only was he behind another awful green background, but it was the lawn of the wrong place. Too funny.
  • markmurphy9 · 1 year ago
    When I saw this photo go up. I told my wife it was the Federal Reserve - Thinking it would be a fitting object of worship for the group as assembled.
  • DeadPhish · 1 year ago
    I thought that building looked familiar - 'twas my Junior High School! lol

    Is this the sort of solid work we should expect if he gets elected?
  • DeadPhish · 1 year ago
    But John - Don't forget - Education was discussed in great detail last night. I am sure this was not a "mistake," they just thought everyone knew about my middle school - afterall, I did!
  • BarbJDEM · 1 year ago
    I guess they didn't vet the video either!
