Please Don’t Assassinate Obama

Paul Spoerry —  October 5, 2008 — Leave a comment

Now that Obama has won by a landslide victory (349 to 147) you can purchase Keep Obama Alive t-shirts!

Since Barack Obama announced he would run for president, there have been stories of assassination plots. On October 27, 2008, it was reported that the ATF uncovered a plot by neo-Nazi skinheads to assassinate Obama. The two men arrested, Paul Schlesselman and Daniel Cowart, planned on going on a “killing spree” at an African American high school and then assassinating Obama.

Concerns over a possible assassination attempt have been increasing since Obama won the Iowa caucus in January 2008. Obama, his wife Michelle and their children have been under Secret Service protection since that time. 2008 is also the 40th anniversary of the assassination of Robert F. Kennedy, when he was a presidential candidate.

You can get Keep Obama Alive t-shirts here. The site sells more than just shirts, you can also get mugs, tracksuits, buttons, stickers, hats, and my favorite… the thong. I’ve heard rumors there may be a more “controversial” slogan version coming soon as well.

Intentionally or not, the McCain camp owns the domain name VoteForTheMILF.com. I dunno if that’s funny or sexist… or both. Probably both.

The site will redirect you specifically to a video intro by Gov. Sarah Palin at JohnMcCain.com if you are hitting it for the first time. Note that the redirect sends you first to JohnMcCain.com and THEN to Palin.htm (Palin’s Video Intro) if you’re visiting for the first time, or if your cookies are cleared, or if you’re not accepting cookies.

Since the story broke the domain WhoIs information has gone private, but I think the cat is out of the bag. There’s a full discussion along with breaking updates over at Govgap.com’s John McCain Owns VoteForTheMILF.com? article.

Colbert – The Repo Man is Gunna Miss Bush

Paul Spoerry —  August 29, 2008 — Leave a comment

On last night’s Colbert Report, Stephen cut through all of the doom and gloom of the Democratic Convention by profiling someone who’s flourishing in the current economy: A repo man.

Others who are probably doing well these days include unemployment-office workers, squatters, pan-handle makers, trashcan-fire emporiums, tumble-weed manufacturers and super-villains.

McCain = Bush – tax breaks for the rich

Paul Spoerry —  August 17, 2008 — Leave a comment

More proof McCain is Bush 2.0 – caters to rich, snuffs the middle class.

McCain has cultivated support from mega-corporations by promising to dole out huge tax breaks in return should he win the presidency. As the Wonk Room reported in June, McCain’s plan to cut the corporate tax rate from 35 percent to 25 percent would yield $45 billion in tax breaks for the 200 largest corporations:

MCain Corporate Tax Cuts
McCain would deliver about $4 billion in tax cuts to the five largest oil companies. He would also hand over $2 billion to the top 10 health insurance companies. Unlike the highest-rung of the corporate ladder, much of the rest of Wall Street refuses to be bought off. Those employees are giving more to Obama than to McCain.

While McCain caters to the rich, Barack Obama’s tax plan “offers three times the break for middle class families” than the proposals of John McCain. To clarify the contrast in the two candidates’ plans, consider this fact: John and Cindy McCain would reap over $300,000 from McCain’s own tax plan. By contrast, both the Obamas and McCains would receive a substantial, albeit much smaller, savings under Obama’s plan (see a comparison here).
