Rick Santorum's Obamaville Ad

Status
Not open for further replies.
Are we... sure this is real? I realize NRO seems to have gotten an exclusive preview, which suggests it is, but it seems strange that Santorum's campaign would waste money on a general election ad in March.
 
These guys seem to have it pretty good!

If the guy who shot this were to direct a post-apocalyptic film with a halfway decent script, I'd be in the theater day one.
 
I want to make a patriotic ad like Rick Santorum too. Here's the pitch -


Opening shot with a white family consisting of a mom, dad, and little 3 year old girl having a picnic in a park.

Close up shot of each characters faces smiling and laughing.

Dad: Okay honey (referring to the daughter), mommy and I are gonna go get some ice cream.

Me: Stay right here and be a good little girl, okay sweetie.

Parents happily walk away, and the little girl sits quietly, playfully taking off the petals of a sunflower.

Camera VERY SLOW PANS to the right to reveal a grizzly, homeless looking black guy sitting on a bench staring at the girl, licking his lips and nodding his head hungrily.

Fade to black.

Text appears saying: "Stop Obamacare before it's too late."

Fade to Rick Santorum smiling in front of a giant American flag, with the song "I Am America" playing in the background: "I'm Rick Santorum, and I approve this message."

Honey is so generic. What if you had the dad call the girl Daisy instead?
 
Hahaha

Thought Gingrich would be far more entertaining but Santorum has really stepped up his game. Good stuff.

So Rick . . . how are you going to lower gas prices and attack Iran at the same time? The two things are antagonistic.

Really . . . can anyone explain this? How are you going to go all bat-shit militant crazy against Iran AND lower gas prices. It is not possible. I'd give him some respect if he (or Gingrich) picked one or the other issue and ran with it. But you can't address both problems at the same time. Deal with reality . . . don't blow smoke up my ass . . . I'm not that stupid.
 
Santorum spokesman denies Obama-Ahmadinejad conflation in new ad

My conversation with Rick Santorum spokesman Hogan Gidley about the new Santorum ad in which images of President Obama are interspersed with images of Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad:

Q: Is the moment when Ahmadenijad and Obama's images are interspersed meant to suggest that they are the same person?

Gidley: "Don't be ridiculous. He's the president of the United States, Ahmadenijad is the president of our sworn enemy. I'm don't know that it was 'interspersing,' I'm confused by that. Obviously I'm not trying to say anything about Obama and Ahamdenijad. So if we're not trying to say anything about that, then I don't understand the issue.

Q: And there's no suggestion here that Obama is Ahmadinehad?

Gidley: No, no, no, no, no. We'd be a lot more deliberate if that's what we were trying to do. There'd be something a whole lot more -- Rick doesn't parse words, our campaign, we're not sneaky people. We'd tell you what we think, obviously. That's not what we're trying to do.

John Brabender, the media consultant who made the controversial video, calls to add his denial:

"It shows the increasing conflict between the U.S. and Iran because of the growing likelihood that they’ll have a nuclear weapon by that point, under the present policies that we’re under. ... The intent was to show that there will be a constant threat back and forth between the United States if they have nuclear capability.

To see [a conflation of Obama and Ahmadinejad] would be to see something that was not intended to be there in any way. And there’s nothing in there that says ‘Buy Popcorn’ either."

Translated:

On the other hand, we denounce with righteous indignation and dislike men who are so beguiled and demoralized by the charms of pleasure of the moment, so blinded by desire, that they cannot foresee the pain and trouble that are bound to ensue; and equal blame belongs to those who fail in their duty through weakness of will, which is the same as saying through shrinking from toil and pain. These cases are perfectly simple and easy to distinguish. In a free hour, when our power of choice is untrammelled and when nothing prevents our being able to do what we like best, every pleasure is to be welcomed and every pain avoided. But in certain circumstances and owing to the claims of duty or the obligations of business it will frequently occur that pleasures have to be repudiated and annoyances accepted. The wise man therefore always holds in these matters to this principle of selection: he rejects pleasures to secure other greater pleasures, or else he endures pains to avoid worse pains.

From here.

Not sure what the original text is from though. Odd.

They're not even smart enough to play dumb properly. The whole thing is amazing.
