I think someone could make a scarier one about Santorum. Freedom of worship gone, antiestablishment clause deleted, health care for women unavailable, economy wrecked because of another unnecessary war, Patriot Act putting libraries and bookstores out of business, all internet activity monitored in case someone's looking for a little porn. Yeah, let's go for that.

Would love to see a few clips from "The Walking Dead" snuck in here and there too.

And yet all those images were probably taken in 2008/2009, courtesy of the crash of 2008.

And no 'lil Kim ? National registration of Jude uh Fundamentalist Christians ? No attacking hordes of zombie Black People ?

They missed pushing a few buttons Santorum's faithful seem to enjoy.

There will be sequels. This is the first of a theme campaign.

There's a special place in hell for any person who's willing to participate in creating a political ad like that.

Maybe that person will have a "deathbed conversion", also.

i've decided i'm not reposting that private video link, even for lulz.

very telling when end-of-the-world fear-mongering is the best they can come up with.

Just an FYI, you have to sign in to vote on youtube and you can only vote once.

Okay, fine, it's a conspiracy to embarrass bigots and @#$%& by giving this privately-linked video a bad rating through creating multiple accounts and spending the day voting against it. Maybe that makes perfect sense to you.

I don't need fantastical conspiracies.
You don't have to load a poll with multiple users.
You can also select your users.

What kind of numbers do you think OWC would have gotten if they chose a Newegg forum to request hits instead of macresource ?


Apparently if I don't have a list of directing links to verify a driving force to influence numbers they conveniently don't exist.
That's damned convenient if you like being spoon fed what you want to believe.
Nothing wrong with believing what you want to believe, either.
Magicians take advantage of that human capacity all the time.

The poll you linked to allowed voters to vote once each day. So you are comparing Apples to Oranges.

I have never given a darn about the ratings on youtube and I suggest you do the same, instead of trying to prove they are manipulated (which they aren't) since it DOESN'T EVEN MATTER.

Honestly, everyone, who gives a @#$%& what the rating on youtube is? It's like the people who get freaked out because an Eric Clapton video has 198 Dislikes. Get a life.

I find it interesting that a search over at Reddit's Conservative sub shows no links by using the term Obamaville

[www.reddit.com]

It does show a few months-old posts comparing the Occupy protester tent areas to Hooverville.
[en.wikipedia.org]

Of course, it's a lousy analogy.

That's not at all what you said. Just once it would be great if you would say what you meant instead of hiding it in some kind of bizarre only-billb-can-suss-it-out-cryptogram.
