Video: Conservative messiah returns to earth
posted at 4:10 pm on June 17, 2010 by Allahpundit
He actually fires off a round in this one. Can it be, my friends, that Alvin Greene won 60 percent of the vote in a U.S. Senate primary without leaving his living room while the man responsible for the greatest political ad evah ended up third in a battle for … state agricultural commissioner? It’ll take a 70-seat pick-up in November to ease the pain of that loss. Which, given The One’s job performance lately, remains distinctly possible.
Up until now I was thinking Christie/Peterson in 2012, but after hearing him pronounce “McMillan” as Mac-Millan, I’m leaning Peterson/Christie. While we wait for primary season to begin, is there really not a single spare half-hour anywhere in the Fox News schedule for this guy to host his own show? “Give a Rip! with Dale Peterson” would be an awesome pairing with Huckabee’s program on Saturday night. I’m picturing a panel discussion with a live studio audience and D-Pete roaming the aisles, Winchester over his shoulder, challenging assorted Democratic “dummies” on their talking points. Beck-level ratings in no time. Exit quotation: “We shot this in the morning on Dale’s llama farm. We considered having the llamas in there, but thought that would be too random.”

I’d rather see him replace Huckabee than be paired with him. Huckabee gets on my last nerve. Can’t stand that phony.

I just cannot stop watching his ad’s….
PatriotRider on June 17, 2010 at 4:16 PM
Bwahahahaha!!!
csdeven on June 17, 2010 at 4:17 PM
To answer the video’s question: Yes, yes I do.
lorien1973 on June 17, 2010 at 4:17 PM
A+ Rating from the NRA
Jocundus on June 17, 2010 at 4:17 PM
How many people do you know that pronounce McAfee as Macafee? It doesn’t add to or subtract from the name in my book.
fourdeucer on June 17, 2010 at 4:18 PM
I want to see him endorse Christie in his NJ budget battle and then see a few union teachers trying to protest behind him…
PatriotRider on June 17, 2010 at 4:18 PM
Only city folk raise llamas. Next, we’ll find out he drinks tea and eats crumpets. At Starbucks.
lorien1973 on June 17, 2010 at 4:18 PM
This guy is too awesome. Imagine Peterson as RNC chair. He goes on MTP or any of these talk shows and rips and liberal apart.
cubachi on June 17, 2010 at 4:19 PM
Them’s fightin’ words, dummy.
Allahpundit on June 17, 2010 at 4:19 PM
It’s hard to ponder who has more awesomeness:
Chris Christie or Dale Peterson.
Vincenzo on June 17, 2010 at 4:19 PM
You can NEVER go wrong with llamas. As far as this guy getting his own show, the Saturday night snooze fest could be replaced, Huckabee sucks and Geraldo, well, he sucks and spits. He could also have Shep’s spot for our daily dose of ‘balls’ instead of ballsax.
HornetSting on June 17, 2010 at 4:20 PM
Love him. And he has a good attitude. It’s not about Dale Peterson, it’s about voting for people whomever will get the job done.
hawksruleva on June 17, 2010 at 4:20 PM
“Watching your back” would be an appropriate title for his own show.
Sir Napsalot on June 17, 2010 at 4:21 PM
Oh dear lord I can imagine the Conservative 2012 Cabinent in the White House
President/VP: Christie Or Peterson, either way
Attorney General: Fred Dalton Thompson.
Secretary of State: John Bolton or Ann Coulter
Press Secretary: Greg from Red Eye
U.N. Ambassador: John Bolton, or Ann Coulter, Or Michelle Malkin!
I’m stilling thinking of more.. but all I can say is… well.. EPIC!!!
Razgriez on June 17, 2010 at 4:22 PM
How about some props to Allahpundit for a downright hilarious post? LOL literally, not figuratively.
LastRick on June 17, 2010 at 4:23 PM
Dale Peterson drinks Awesome Sauce.
Can we run this man for Jesus?
If not, can we run this man for John Wayne?
Can we at least run him for Congress!
victor82 on June 17, 2010 at 4:24 PM
Oh, the horror.
disa on June 17, 2010 at 4:24 PM
Allah, you had me laughing. Awesome write-up man, thanks.

Sheriff Joe Arpaio for Sec. of Homeland Security.
HornetSting on June 17, 2010 at 4:26 PM
You know, one part of my brain says that this will be used to demonize tea partiers, 2nd Amendment types, and generally characterize conservatives as “extreme”. (And we know what Big Sis thinks of THAT!)
The other side just laughed out loud, I absolutely loved this – and given that sign stealing has been a little problem for him, I loved his solution. Moreover, his bothering to support the guy he lost to for the good of AL is a big thumbs up in my book. The real question is how the AL voters will see it.
skeeter on June 17, 2010 at 4:26 PM
You cannot imagine how hard I laughed at this.
Abby Adams on June 17, 2010 at 4:28 PM
AL ag commish? Pfffff.
Folks, we found exactly the right person for Obama’s oil czar!
Sir Napsalot on June 17, 2010 at 4:28 PM
Looks like Mr. Peterson will be busy this fall making web ads. There’ll be plenty of candidates out there that could benefit Dale Peterson watchin’ their back.
Jason Coleman on June 17, 2010 at 4:29 PM
The gratuitous gunshot was just pure gold. “Hey, get away from that!”
DaveS on June 17, 2010 at 4:30 PM
Huckabee’s show is a GREAT BIG YAWNER.
Can’t stand that show or the touchy-feely, don’t offend anyone guy.
stenwin77 on June 17, 2010 at 4:30 PM
WHOOT WHOOT!! Now THAT’S a REAL MAN!!!!
LOVE LOVE LOVE IT!!!!
100% out of 100%
Ladies and Gentlemen…
WE HAVE A BONIFIDE REAL MAN THERE!!!
I am in love….sigh…
RoxanneH on June 17, 2010 at 4:30 PM
Ehrlinger, the producer of both ads, is a twenty-something guy just out of college. I suspect he’ll be getting some interesting job offers.
Bugler on June 17, 2010 at 4:31 PM
…. with that twang that says, “And so do you.”
Editor on June 17, 2010 at 4:31 PM
Didn’t think of that one… I like it! One because he WILL make sure our borders are secure, and two, because it’ll hit the liberal’s berserk buttons.
Is there any laws about appointing someone from another country as cabinent member? Because I have the perfect idea in mind for Sec. of Transportation, I was thinking Jeremy Clarkson from Top Gear. That or The Stig
Razgriez on June 17, 2010 at 4:32 PM
I agree with the first comment….Can’t stand the Huckster! Being in the neighboring state of Oklahoma, got a real good look at Billery and the Huckman….Arkansas can do better and so can FOX.
tomshup on June 17, 2010 at 4:32 PM
I want to have a drink with this guy, but I don’t think I drink anything strong enough to stand toe to toe with him.
Then I want to bring him up to NY and let him give the what’s what to a few of the idiots here.
Sir Corky on June 17, 2010 at 4:32 PM
What the heck is “random” about a llama? How many llamas does he have? Ya think a gunshot induced llama stampede would be random too?
You know what would be really awesome? Dale taking out one of those “demon sheep” off the hip while riding his horse.
Guardian on June 17, 2010 at 4:34 PM
Dale not one of your average spineless repubs, he seems to have some grit about him.
tim c on June 17, 2010 at 4:35 PM
Shows a lot of character doesn’t it, to support the man you lose to and make an ad like that.
fourdeucer on June 17, 2010 at 4:36 PM
Coincidentally, I’m having llama chops for dinner tonight.
Rhinoboy on June 17, 2010 at 4:39 PM
….Gunshot induced llama stampede…you owe me a laptop.
HornetSting on June 17, 2010 at 4:39 PM
heh
visions on June 17, 2010 at 4:40 PM
Make it Peterson/Christie.
Throw in John Bolton as Secretary of State and R. Lee Ermey as SecDef and I’m in hog heaven.
DRPrice on June 17, 2010 at 4:42 PM
I won’t be touching any lawn signs but what does an AG Commissioner do in Alabama? Hand out subsidies?
AshleyTKing on June 17, 2010 at 4:43 PM
This man MUST be president someday!
ThePrez on June 17, 2010 at 4:44 PM
How in the hell else would you pronounce it?
I just know you’re gonna say “Mc-affy,” but anybody who says that sounds
a. affected, and
b. an idiot.
It’s been Macafee for a thousand years. Get over it.
warbaby on June 17, 2010 at 4:45 PM

AP, you are dang funny! “Give a riiip” or “Watch yer back” or “Stay away from that”! Get ‘em Dale!
chaswv on June 17, 2010 at 4:46 PM
Same here. I saw that and cracked up. That is my answer to any question that I refuse to answer or cannot answer.
Randomness = hillarity
Holger on June 17, 2010 at 4:48 PM
Gold, pure, 24 carat gold.
NickelAndDime on June 17, 2010 at 4:48 PM
Doesn’t bother me a bit, nothing to get over, I love the ad, the man, the way he talks and the way he acts. What is there to get over. Just wanted to point out an example of pronouncing words not the way they are spelled but the way people pronounce them okay.
fourdeucer on June 17, 2010 at 4:50 PM
Can we run this guy for president in 2012??? We need a real leader that can really kick some A, not some lawyer pansy like we have now.
workingforpigs on June 17, 2010 at 4:51 PM
I wish this dude were my neighbor.
Bishop on June 17, 2010 at 4:51 PM
Whomever is producing these videos is skilled.
After the cowardly thug breaks out from Dale’s warning shot, there’s even a dust cloud. Nice touch!
visions on June 17, 2010 at 4:51 PM
Oh, ooh……Calling Morris Dees!
He’s a one-man hate group!
I’m sure they place him on the SPLC website next to a picture of the Klan!
Oh, and memo to Klein Slime of the New York Times: Get out another napkin to write on! This is seditious!
Opposite Day on June 17, 2010 at 4:53 PM
It’s actually a substantial position. Lots of responsibility in commerce and industry, like insuring weights and measures, etc. Every gas pump in AL is certified by a sticker with the ag commissioner’s name on it.
Bugler on June 17, 2010 at 4:53 PM
The kid’s got talent, and a great subject in Peterson (with or without the Llamas).
Nichevo on June 17, 2010 at 4:54 PM
I.Love.Dale.Peterson! Makes me want to move to A-la-BAM-a instead of living in blue state Maryland.
AceR on June 17, 2010 at 4:56 PM
It’s Time To Roll
True Grit! Class act, coalescing with the next conservative candidate for an election victory.

Ditto again.
Thank the Lord that all of America has not been pastueurized and homogenized into one politically correct blog of glue. Love him! I’ll be this guy even says “he” when he means “he or she.”
PattyJ on June 17, 2010 at 4:57 PM
$5billion annual budget. “Betcha didn’t know that, did you? That’s because of the crooks…”
McMillan’s sign: Agriculture and Industry.
maverick muse on June 17, 2010 at 5:00 PM
Yeah, the actual position title is “Commissioner of Agriculture and Industry.” It probably involves as much work with industry as with agriculture.
Bugler on June 17, 2010 at 5:03 PM
Hmm. Saw this early this am @ The Other McCain…
Buckeye Babe on June 17, 2010 at 5:06 PM
Teh awesomeness
John the Libertarian on June 17, 2010 at 5:10 PM
Maybe the Palin’s could rent their house to him for the Summer…
Kafir on June 17, 2010 at 5:11 PM
The firing of the gun you know drives those liberals crazzzzzy!
But he doesn’t give a rip….
right2bright on June 17, 2010 at 5:15 PM
I got a tingle up my leg.
jukin on June 17, 2010 at 5:16 PM
The sign thief wasn’t that convincing. Should have been a couple of hippies with UC Berkeley hoodies on.
Grafted on June 17, 2010 at 5:23 PM
If he had a weekend show I would watch! There is NOTHING on Fox on the weekends!
LifeTrek on June 17, 2010 at 5:24 PM
One can imagine the Hoplophobes wetting their britches over that!
Hoplophobia Definition.

Department of Energy: Sarah Palin
redslippers on June 17, 2010 at 5:32 PM
Seriously, this guy is awesome. He just bucked me up by showing a magnanimous attitude by endorsing an opponent who beat him. Why this man finished third is anybodies guess. Alabamans lost 300 coolness points for that in my book.
Llamas? Seriously? This guy needs to own a grizzly farm, he’s so awesome. Well, if he rode a grizzly around his llama farm, taht would be o.k. too.
Rightwingguy on June 17, 2010 at 5:38 PM
You’re looking for the Lunatic Fringe to go around the bend and off the cliff, aren’t you? I have imagined invading lefty blogs and taunting left-wingnuts after the inauguration of President Palin or President Christie.
ExpressoBold on June 17, 2010 at 5:41 PM
Dude, imagine it. Pumping gas from a pump certified by THE Dale Peterson. Instead of ethanol, gas will then have AWESOME added to it.
Rightwingguy on June 17, 2010 at 5:42 PM
You wouldn’t have too. I remember after Bush won re-election the liberals were doing enough crying and gnashing of teeth for the entire nation.
Rightwingguy on June 17, 2010 at 5:44 PM
Was it the confident firing of the round followed, during some length of delay determined by Peterson, by the confident ejection of the spent cartridge delivering that “I’m the boss and The Lone Ranger” attitude?
ExpressoBold on June 17, 2010 at 5:46 PM
“Don’t you wish you had Dale Peterson watching your back?”
Pure gold.
Onus on June 17, 2010 at 5:57 PM
True conservative hardcore porn! And I likes it!
madmonkphotog on June 17, 2010 at 5:58 PM
Bad man with Hot rifle.
hawkman on June 17, 2010 at 6:06 PM
LOL!!!! Oh, my, that was funny. This guy could do stand-up if he wanted, and get the message across at the same time. Imagine with a conservative dominant culture, SNL would be running this kind of stuff.
paul1149 on June 17, 2010 at 6:21 PM
Officially supplanting ‘caring’ with ‘giving a rip’ from this day till kingdom come.
Inanemergencydial on June 17, 2010 at 6:31 PM
I gotta say, that’s an impressive ad.
Am I the only one wondering what make and model of rifle he has there? It looks like a Winchester 1893, but I could be wrong.
wearyman on June 17, 2010 at 6:37 PM
Yeah, ok, so this guy is an internet fave – but if I want to get a cringe out of my conservative friends in Alabama, mentioning this guy’s name is the quickest way to do it. . .just sayin.
Wind Rider on June 17, 2010 at 6:38 PM
Me too. I guess I’ll support him now.
*cough*TOLDYOU*cough*
MadisonConservative on June 17, 2010 at 6:55 PM
I am still laughing. Awesome!
Found this comment over at the exit quotation linky thing:
Could not agree more..
CTSherman on June 17, 2010 at 6:59 PM
I love this guy. LOVE him!
As for the whole Mac/Mc thing — that’s just how folks pronounce it in the South. My grandparents in East Texas call McDonald’s “mack Donald’s” and they don’t give a hot damn if anyone doesn’t like it. ;)
EarthToZoey on June 17, 2010 at 7:05 PM
1st. I saw this ad in the Headlines, and fell in love with it immediately, but refuse to create a Youtube acct, and couldn’t post there how much I loved the ad.
2nd. Think about this. Dale LOST his race, and made this ad to send his support to one of the two that beat him. When was the last time you saw a politician do that? Spend what is, in essence, his own money to make an ad for a competitor?
I sincerely hope that Dale Peterson runs for office in the future. This is *exactly* the type of man we need in office.
NavyspyII on June 17, 2010 at 7:06 PM
This sure beats those toys …
J_Crater on June 17, 2010 at 7:18 PM
So he shot the Dalai Lama. Big f*cking sh*t . The guy wears a dress for crying out loud. And plug the d*mn hole.
Seth Halpern on June 17, 2010 at 7:46 PM
Um… we got out of the U.N. in 2013. Don’t you remember?
The only change I’d make is to put Ann Coulter for press secretary. Oh yes.
Mojave Mark on June 17, 2010 at 8:38 PM
For some reason that stinkin’ hippie song “Signs” came to mind when the guy was trying to steal the sign.
What gives him the right?
His BOOMSTICK!!!!!
Yakko77 on June 17, 2010 at 8:43 PM
Dale Peterson’s Bear Cavalry — for those nick of time rescues!
NaCly dog on June 17, 2010 at 8:47 PM
It’s on JEW-LIE 13th! YaHoo!
leftnomore on June 17, 2010 at 8:53 PM
Most of you have already “beat me to the punch” with the preceding posts.
But in reference to a talk show for Dale Petersen; how long would it take for him to upstage O’Reilly if given the chance?
Either way I hope we hear more from this guy in the future.
We need a lot more like him.
listens2glenn on June 17, 2010 at 9:31 PM
Link?
xblade on June 17, 2010 at 9:43 PM
Was that Kos running like a little rabbit away from the sign?
katy on June 17, 2010 at 9:53 PM

No, Rudy Giuliani.
YehuditTX on June 18, 2010 at 12:38 AM
You disparage a llama farmer? RAAAAAACIST! How can you be so closed minded to diversity?! Dale is a visionary ensuring his state is prepared to kick a** in this global economy as we face the worst depression since ___(see White House press page for current Hamlet rewrite).
I look forward to the next ad featuring one of Dale’s economically diverse llamas hitting his mark in the saloon spittoon.
P.S. Have bustle will travel.
