“you can’t have him!” (unless…..)…

Analyzing bigotry can be more fun than satire. This antiwar ad from Moveon.org is one of the most stunningly illogical pieces of propaganda I’ve seen in a long time. Holding a rented baby she calls “Alex,” the actress in the……

Sheesh. ‘an’ election year. I bit p’od, I am.

Two things.

One, I’m amazed anybody actually slept with that wackadoo to begin with!

She has that glazed over look in her eyes and a rushed-breathing sound coming out of her like she’s about to go bouncin’-off-the-walls-berserk.

Second, I’m shocked that she actually carried “it” (aka Alex) to term.

Isn’t that what LibRats call an Alex when (they’re not out whoring him for votes and) he’s exiting the birth canal?
An “it”?

They don’t call him Alex, and they damn sure don’t call him a baby! They just call him “it”.

Of course, it’s a election year, so Lil’ Miss MoveOn has *baby* Alex now.

I think George HW Bush made a similar video once and sent it to LBJ.

My pleasure. It’s OK when someone else explains your joke…it’s not OK when you have to explain it yourself.

Ahem.

“The dingo ate your baby.” (In a terrible Aussie accent)

It’s a common joke when someone panders to the image of a baby to represent that there’s some sort of external threat to it. In this case, a President McCain would represent that ‘dingo’ threat, and since the election is still ongoing, he’s only a dingo in training.

Wow. One of my stupid jokes has been deconstructed for meaning. I can die happy. At least someone got it. :P

But seriously … I’m not serious. It wasn’t meant to be hugely deep or philosophical. Just calling how stupid this video really is with a (failed!) attempt at humor.

Don’t take my baby, John McCain!

Yeah, McCain! Babies are meant to be ABORTED, not sent into combat! ‘Smatterwithyou?

With B0 as Commander-in-Chief the probability of a military draft increases dramatically. How many would enlist or re-enlist with a CIC who would not support them not to mention a Congress with similar leanings. IE Charlie Rangel

She didn’t support abortion, but from the way she turned out her parents might feel that way now.

Little kid is going into Comintern Camps per the Obama website

Barack Obama’s Plan
Early Childhood Education

* Zero to Five Plan: Obama’s comprehensive “Zero to Five” plan will provide critical support to young children and their parents. Unlike other early childhood education plans, Obama’s plan places key emphasis at early care and education for infants, which is essential for children to be ready to enter kindergarten. Obama will create Early Learning Challenge Grants to promote state “zero to five” efforts and help states move toward voluntary, universal pre-school.
* Expand Early Head Start and Head Start: Obama will quadruple Early Head Start, increase Head Start funding and improve quality for both.

You folks are missing something. McCain is running such a horribly stupid campaign, talking about townhall meetings with LaRaza, that this stupid kind of crap could actually make a huge difference. Think I’m wrong? Didn’t this country elect Bill Clinton twice?

Poor baby to get stuck with a mom like that if it is his mom. Alex will have a horrible life of a drama queen liberal mom and her constant whine of wanting the government to help pay her bills, pay off her house, buy her food and tuck her in at night.

A word to Mom: Get off the meth.

A word to Alex: I know you won’t be a momma’s boy when you grow up. Be all you can be man.

I hope that baby grows up and does something to horrify his mommy – joins the military.

The ad is lame. 90% of Americans understand that we need a military. 90% of Americans see that Iraq is less and less of a concern.

So, we’ve gone from “Come back with your shield… or on it” to “You can’t have him.” In a word: pitiful.

I would like to see this woman’s pro choice add? This woman is telling you that this child is so precious to to her but ask her what her position on Abortion is? Come on at least on the battle field if Alex ever made it into combat he would trained and have a weapon and a fighting chance. Is this MOVE ON schill going to tell all she is Pro Life? I really doubt it. John McCain would protect Alex before he was born during and after.

“War is an ugly thing, but it’s not the ugliest thing. The decayed and degraded sense of moral and patriotic feeling that feels nothing is worth a war is worse. A man that cares for nothing more than his personal safety is a miserable creature, and is made and kept free by the exercions of better men than himself.”

Hey Mom, keep that future meter maid at home and tied tightly to those apron strings.

Oh man, I can’t believe I used to belong to that group. John McCain “can’t have him”? If John McCain were to win two terms, that baby still wouldn’t be old enough to voluntarily enlist.

She’s whoring her baby, and the government should take him from her. Poetic justice.

To Alex’s mom: if you’re so concerned with your boy not having to fight in this war, then I ask the status of your husband. Is he fighting? If so, good on him. Encourage him to fight harder. If he’s physically or mentally unfit to fight, no problem. If he’s fit to fight and isn’t engaged in this war, don’t worry, there are many of us who are picking up his slack. But if you are serious about not wanting your boy to have to fight this enemy, then maybe you should do something meaningful, such as encouraging your husband/significant other to pick up a weapon and join the fight. How about supporting the current war effort rather than calling for surrender? I pray my son won’t have to fight, but I’d rather him fight than live in fear or under tyranny.

Oh one more thing who thinks that woman was participating in any activity that produced a baby? I mean the second add that was using far left talking points about Republican’s causes, why not blame Republicans for her lack of a social life..or a life. How much did this woman and her “move on’s idea of a prop” note this baby made it through some woman’s right to choose, get paid for this ahh..add. Everyone knows the leftys don’t like reproduction :)
