MoveOn wants your “Obama in 30 seconds” video ads, DNC solicits short films

By Michelle Malkin  •  March 13, 2008 03:48 PM

Now, this is tempting.

MoveOn is asking its followers to come up with “Obama in 30 seconds” video ads:

MoveOn.org has a message for all filmmakers, writers, directors, actors, editors, composers, graphic artists, and animators: Whether you’re a total amateur or a total pro, now is the time to use your creativity to help Barack Obama win. We’re launching an ad contest: “Obama in 30 Seconds.”

Powered by grassroots enthusiasm, Obama has won the most states and the most delegates. But the race isn’t over, and we’ve got to pull out all the stops to help him across the finish line.

Too easy: Just submit 30 seconds of Jeremiah Wright’s chickens-coming-home-to-roost, God-damn-America and the Rich White People rants.

The Sorosians will eat it up!

Meanwhile, the DNC’s holding a short film contest (via the Drunkablog) and the unhinged minions have come out of the woodworks to submit their entries–like this rhyming rapper assailing the Founding Fathers as “terrorists:”

He sounds like a member of Jeremiah Wright’s congregation.

Slapstick Politics and Gateway Pundit have more. If you can stomach it.

    How do people get this dumb? How can people not comprehend simple concepts like the difference between “innocent” and “guilty”?

    At least he’s consistent… obviously he can consider the founding fathers “terrorists” if he can’t comprehend that terrorists by definition are “guilty” of the intentional murder of “innocent” civilians. Shame on GW and TJ… shooting all those poor innocent civilains in red coats…

    Maybe we could talk David Mamet into a 30 second video comparison between Obama’s pastor and David Mamet’s rabbi, about whom Mamet wrote:

    Prior to the midterm elections, my rabbi was taking a lot of flack. The congregation is exclusively liberal, he is a self-described independent (read “conservative”), and he was driving the flock wild. Why? Because a) he never discussed politics; and b) he taught that the quality of political discourse must be addressed first—that Jewish law teaches that it is incumbent upon each person to hear the other fellow out.

    Mamet credited his rabbi with turning him around politically, not by haranguing him with hate speech, but by encouraging him to hear his opponents out. I guess we now know why Michelle Obama is so negative on the U.S. — given the spiritual guidance she has been receiving.

    Glances at notebook. Returns gaze to camera.

    I’m planning on making an entry that scrolls his voting record along the screen for 30 seconds, and highlighting every time he missed a vote or voted “present” with a “DING!” sound effect along with a running counter at the bottom of the screen.

    The MoveOn website was launched initially to oppose the Republican-led effort to impeach Clinton. Initially called “Censure and Move On,” it invited visitors to add their names to an online petition stating that “Congress must Immediately Censure President Clinton and Move On to pressing issues facing the country.”

    In a word, yes. To support Clinton.

    To sum up…..here are his proposals with comments:

    “……I will cut investments in unproven missile defense systems…” (STAR WARS(SDI) HAS PROVEN VERY EFFECTIVE AS EVIDENCED BY THE ABILITY TO SHOOT DOWN THAT SATELLITE THIS PAST WEEK, BUT THE DEMOCRATS FOUGHT IT TOOTH AND NAIL AS “UNPROVEN”)

    <em>”…..I will not weaponize space...”(WE WILL BE SITTING DUCKS IN SPACE INSTEAD OF UTILIZING OUR ACCOMPLISHMENTS FROM THE SPACE PROGRAM TO DEFEND OURSELVES.)

    “…..I will slow development of future combat systems…”(JUST WHAT WE
    NEED….TO BE BEHIND OUR ENEMIES ON WEAPONS SYSTEMS)

    “…..and I will institute a “Defense Priorities Board” to ensure the quadrennial defense review is not used to justify unnecessary spending…”(HUH?)

    “…..I will set a goal of a world without nuclear weapons…”(GOOD LUCK GETTING N. KOREA, IRAN, RUSSIA TO ACTUALLY KEEP THEIR PROMISES…THEY NEVER HAVE)

    “…..and to seek that goal, I will not develop nuclear weapons“(WE WILL BE SITTING DUCKS!)

    “…..I will seek a global ban on the dev elopment of fissile material…”(THAT MEANS WE WILL BE THE ONLY ONES OBEYING THE BAN)

    “…..and I will negotiate with Russia to take our ICBMs off hair-trigger alert“(AND HOW DO WE KNOW THEY WILL ALSO DO THE SAME?)

    “…..and to achieve deep cuts in our nuclear arsenals…”(GREAT! HOW ARE WE GOING TO DEFEND OURSELVES AGAINST NUCLEAR ATTACKS)

    People, if he gets his way, we will become totally defenseless against Iran,
    North Korea, China and Russia et al. This is beyond
    disagreement on policies…..this is literally whether this country survives
    or not.

    I just got an idea while watching “Bob the Builder” with my 3 y/o son. I will link all the Obama messages where he says “yes, we can” and change it to the Bob crew saying “yes, we can”. That should go over well with the moonbats. Wonder if BO watches a lot of “Bob the Builder”, he has his tag line down pat.

And being stupid libs they will be lining up to do it while crying about their friend that works for an ad agency getting layed off because of lack of work.

    I watched the video. Another idiot who spouting some fantasies, he thinks are fact, especially history. Probably never graduated from H.S. On second thought, the way schools are these days, he could have been an honors student. Heck, I’ve got a wife, who isn’t even a citizen, who could run rings around him in debate, especially about Founding Fathers, and the Constitution. Again, on second thought, I wouldn’t want to embarrass her by having her spend time with such a jerk.

    #25…ahem, yourself…

    Mutually Assured Destruction…they (our nuclear weapons) were never meant to be used for anything other than the threat of use. Apparently, that concept has worked rather well.

    Has any nation (including the former USSR) who has possessed a nuclear weapon since after WWII, ever used one? If not, why not? MAD!

    Does anyone with a sense of logic believe, that without the threat that simple possession of these weapons mean, that despotic entities, who may possess them, would not use them against the western civilizations?

    What part of blowing the earth to hell and back don’t you understand?

    What kind of argument is this? It is emotion-based nonsense. It’s just like saying, “there are millions and millions of guns out there…what part of killing everyone on Earth don’t you understand?”

    The US has this nuclear arsenal for the same reason many of use have more than one gun. You never know when or where or how many you will need. I pray we never again have to use a nuke, just like I pray I’ll never have to use one of my guns against another human being, but that doesn’t mean I won’t ever use one when it is needed. I believe that is also the rationale of our military regarding any force, nuclear or otherwise.

    BTW…those quotes are not mine. They came with the piece I copied for all to read and consider.

    hey if we wanted to cut down on our nuke arsenal we could have some pretty nice 4th of july shows…although that might be considered “weaponizing space”

    Hi America BHO here. I want to take a moment and try to sort out a recent controversy. My pastor sez that you whiteys are selling us blackies drugs, well I think that’s just wrong, drug dealing is against the law. He also informs me that you whites had it coming on 9-11. Again, wrong, whites had it coming long before 9-11, way before I went to Harvard. My all knowing mentor believes America is inherently unfair, selfish, mass murdering, racist and bigoted, ok but my hope is that they are stupid above all else. Look my message has always been change and recently you have heard the tapes of the white hating sermons my pastor has regularly orated. Hey I don’t agree with that, so what if I spent the last 20 years as a member of a church that does, so what if he was talking about my mother? Anyone who brings that up is a racist, er bigot, no, deserves it, wait, change, just look what you have done to my wife dang it!/sarcoff

    That’s what I hear. These people have not set race relations back they have thrown them on the ground and are stomping on them trying to crush them out. Take it somewhere else Adolph.
