More Vaguely Clever Pro-Obama Propaganda

August 15, 2008 11:50 AM

You may recall, during the primaries, a fairly clever bit of pro-Obama propaganda called “Baracky.”

Here’s the sequel, with – as in the original, Obama as Rocky; Hillary as Apollo Creed; and new cast member John McCain as Clubber Lang (as played by Mr. T).

Not as good as the original, as with all sequels except for The Godfather Part II and The Empire Strikes Back.

"However, through Frank Marshall Davis, Obama had an admitted relationship with someone who was publicly identified as a member of the Communist Party USA (CPUSA). The record shows that Obama was in Hawaii from 1971-1979, where, at some point in time, he developed a close relationship, almost like a son, with Davis, listening to his 'poetry' and getting advice on his career path. But Obama, in his book, Dreams From My Father, refers to him repeatedly as just 'Frank.'"

Hope Hillary's delegates score a KO at the convention!

DAVID NH, you might want to do your homework before you accuse me of "blathering."

Frank Marshall Davis was a propagandist, a racial agitator AND A RECRUITER for the CPUSA. With up to five years of Mr. Davis' mentoring, it seems unimaginable that Sen. Obama would NOT come away with some of his beliefs--at the very least. Just like it seems unimaginable that Sen. Obama would be mentored by the Rev. Dr. Jeremiah A. Wright, Jr. for twenty years and not come away with some of HIS beliefs.

Sen. Obama needs to come clean about his mentor and "important influence," Frank Marshall Davis in 1975-1979. Did Mr. Davis ever recruit Barack Obama to be a member of the Communist Party USA? And was Barack Obama ever a secret member of the CPUSA? Why won't the mainstream media pose these questions to Sen. Obama?

Perfect story.....I always think of Obama as an ACTOR first like Denzil Washington, as he reads script so well. However he is completely unqualifed for the toughest job in our country.
Hey, why were there no photo ops with Granny from Hawaii? Why is Obama so ashamed of his family (excluding his 8 African half bros and sistas)?
HILLARY SUPPORTER FOR McCAIN!!!

The more I see and hear about these two guys the less confident I feel about the future. I'm old and have only a little time left, but I hate to think my children and grand children are going to have it worse. So far the media has basically sat on their rear ends, acting like cheer leaders, while the National Enquirer and cable news has exposed the bad guys. It's very depressing.

it's really pathetic when the, "old McCarthy" accusations start to surface. Danley has no evidence that any such group exists, but blathers here to raise doubt.
Juvenile antics are all that McLoser can afford.

McCain's desperation to pick a fight with Russia and Putin, I bet he wishes he could fight the Ivan Drago in the next installment.

McCain is a war monger who will want his own war. A vote for McCain is a vote for more wars.

The Baracky sequel is better than the first. I am really digging the Bill Clinton part..

Dude you have GOT to be kidding me! I mean really!
