These people are gay for McCain.

By fetishizing working class signifiers (“Joe,” generic t-shirt style retro graphics, the appeal to self-projecting couch potatoes), McCain is continuing his galling disingenuousness, stringing along and bribing Main Street to vote back in a structure that will benefit the Wall Streeters and the gated-in denizens of Vista Drive at Main Street’s expense.

Palin on federal marriage amendment: In my own, state, I have voted along with the vast majority of Alaskans who had the opportunity to vote to amend our Constitution defining marriage as between one man and one woman. I wish on a federal level that that’s where we would go because I don’t support gay marriage. I’m not going to be out there judging individuals, sitting in a seat of judgment telling what they can and can’t do, should and should not do.
Notice how she says she voted to amend her state’s Constitution, wishes that they would amend the U.S. Constitution, but in the next breath says she doesn’t want to judge people and tell them what they can and can’t do.
The cognitive dissonance, it burns.

McCain uses air quotes to mock women’s “health” and make it seem like an extremist issue.
What an ass.

Sweet Jesus. They did it again.
Honestly, I’m not quite sure what it means when they combine Obama with his female opponents. Is this a “haha girls are weak so we made you look like the girl” thing? Or… I guess in this case it’s maybe “Sarah Palin is more popular than you are so here’s some hair”?
Weird.

Forum sells 'Obama Waffles' with racial stereotype
Activists at a conservative political forum snapped up boxes of waffle mix depicting Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama as a racial stereotype on its front and wearing Arab-like headdress on its top flap.
…While Obama Waffles takes aim at Obama’s politics by poking fun at his public remarks and positions on issues, it also plays off the old image of the pancake-mix icon Aunt Jemima, which has been widely criticized as a demeaning stereotype. Obama is portrayed with popping eyes and big, thick lips as he stares at a plate of waffles and smiles broadly.
…On the back of the box, Obama is depicted in stereotypical Mexican dress, including a sombrero, above a recipe for ”Open Border Fiesta Waffles” that says it can serve ”4 or more illegal aliens.” The recipe includes a tip: ”While waiting for these zesty treats to invade your home, why not learn a foreign language?”
Another example of racism pretending to be satire.

In this “Handmaid’s Tale”-inflected universe, in which femininity is worshipped but females will be denied rights, CNBC pundit Donny Deutsch tells us that we’re witnessing “a new creation … of the feminist ideal,” the feminism being so ideal because instead of being voiced by hairy old bats with unattractive ideas about intellect and economy and politics and power, it’s now embodied by a woman who, according to Deutsch, does what Hillary Clinton did not: “put a skirt on.” “I want her watching my kids,” says Deutsch. “I want her laying next to me in bed.”
Welcome to 2008, the year a tough, wonky woman won a primary (lots of them, actually), an inspiring black man secured his party’s nomination for the presidency, and a television talking head felt free to opine that a woman is qualified for executive office because he wants to bed her and have her watch his kids! Stop the election; I want to get off.
