Video: Pop-up Democrats
posted at 2:48 pm on April 21, 2010 by Ed Morrissey
After seeing the NRCC’s latest offering, a send-up of Pop-Up Videos, my first thought is — this should be mandatory for all political speeches. Of course, one would have to employ a full-time staff to keep up the pace of needed annotations for any Barack Obama speech, and it might take a week to untangle all of Joe Biden’s tortured anecdotes. When will C-SPAN add this feature to its coverage of one-minute speeches? I can’t wait!

NICE! The last one pointing at the crutches made me laugh out loud. “these get taxed too.”

Strong ad, well done, makes the point without being too long.

I would request an enterprising reporter to ask Vice-President Biden the following question with cameras rolling:
Vice-President Biden, what is your favorite ethnic group and why?
Pop-up wonderland.

Yeah, the crutches quip was one of the best.

The children have taken over.
People talking about boycotting Obama related products today.
Pretty sad state of affairs when the POTUS could actually be hurt by refusing to patronize the leader of the free world’s merchandise.

OK, those popups gave me the giggles. Much rather listen to the popups than that blabber-puss, that is for sure! A well done ad.

Gee, I could sure go for a cup of fresh coffee….
RBMN on April 21, 2010 at 2:58 PM
Dammit, I just got ObamaRolled again. Cute ad though.
GnuBreed on April 21, 2010 at 3:01 PM
Watching that made me sick all over again…

Thanks, Ed! Too funny; keep up the added levity. Humor is often the best way to highlight the opposing side.

I learned more from the pop-ups than anything else.

1 million beautifully tanned white women will begin paying their ObamaTaxes right away.

Be happy you all don’t have to wade into a college calpus where all these ignorant borg mind kids breathlessly parrot everything that emanates from the syndicate that is Ogabe’s regime…
Inanemergencydial on April 21, 2010 at 3:30 PM
calpus…=campus.
Inanemergencydial on April 21, 2010 at 3:30 PM
That sound reminds of little kids in a bubble bath
faraway on April 21, 2010 at 3:31 PM
That was AWESOME!!!
FlickeringFlame on April 21, 2010 at 3:37 PM
Great ad! And something that will resonate with the MTV generation. They’re too dumb to see the big picture, but popups they get!
ornery_independent on April 21, 2010 at 3:41 PM
…or one that says “BFD“.
Schadenfreude on April 21, 2010 at 3:53 PM
An excise tax on charitable hospitals? How does that work?
itsacookbook on April 21, 2010 at 4:38 PM
Even with the pop-ups (which are good) I can’t stand watching that arrogant condescending a%&(*^%$$^hole gloat. After 1 minute I had to stop it.
scharlesc on April 21, 2010 at 4:38 PM
I couldn’t read the pop ups on my phone but it sounds like they hit the mark!
CCRWM on April 21, 2010 at 4:50 PM
The pop-ups came at a rather brisk pace, so one had to be ready to click the “pause” button to read them all, but over all, a very good effort. Made me long for the days of “Pop-UP Videos” when we didn’t have to worry about this guy being in office.

I heard Mark Levin mention a Medicare tax on the sale of homes yesterday. Has anyone heard about this? I turned it on in the middle of the segment, and was in my car so I didn’t have pen and paper at the ready to write down the details. I think he said 3.8% tax, and mentioned something about $250,000 which I presume refers to the profit which would be eligible for this extra special tax,but I’m not sure.

LOL — awesome.
NoLeftTurn on April 21, 2010 at 5:47 PM
they should put together a 30 minute string of these, and start buying cable network infomercial slots in the fall…
phreshone on April 21, 2010 at 8:42 PM
I heard (or maybe read) that Obamacare will include a Medicare tax on capital gains. Since the profit from selling your house is a capital gain, it would appear to be included.
Bigfoot on April 21, 2010 at 10:18 PM
I like it but the constant “bwoop” sound is driving me nuts, I’m going to turn off the sounds. Don;t need to hear the Barry jive anyway.
