1. funny comment

posted by a DUer maybe? :rofl:

"I think voting for Herman Cain will be as good for my future as smoking cigarettes!"

[K8-EEE]

2. LOL! Seriously though ... what a farce his "campaign" is

Unbelievable anybody falls for it but I guess most of his big fans are displaced Palinistas so....ya know...

[TK421]

3. I just watched the video, and it HAD to have been edited in some way there

there is absolutely no fucking way anyone could be so fucking stupid as to have the advertiser in the commercial take a drag on a cigarette DURING filming...no fucking way! This video was altered

[K8-EEE]

6. I thought it was a joke at first but I looked up the "Friends of Herman" site and

Sho nuff that guy "Mark Block" is the head honcho...it kind of makes me wonder if the "Friends" are helping Herman's true goal which is to come in a "strong second" to Romney (and ultimately endorse him.) I think his whole candidacy is a total farce, I really do!

:shrug:

[TK421]

7. wow, I am speechless nt

[Zyzfyx]

29. It's just more "liberty" nonsense

We all know how the Repubs love "individual choice," unless of course you're a woman who's been impregnated by your rapist or father (or both) and you want to get an abortion.

[Ian David]

4. It needs X-Files music. n/t

[tridim]

5. It's going viral, fast.

:rofl:

[K8-EEE]

8. I have a feeling it will get pulled with all the comments it's getting so

ENJOY IT WHILE IT LASTS! Hilarious....

[wndycty]

9. As a campaign manager I feel the need to shoot a spoof of this for the State Rep I work for. . .LOL

:kick:

11. ZOMG the FR reaction is CLASSICO....

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2797435/posts#comment

There is ONE Freeper who is trying to EXPLAIN to the others why this is a lame ad. It ends up being a big FR Dork Off! :rofl:


What utter codswallop!
I am a Conservative.

I am a smoker.

I'm probably THE biggest hater of PC crapola you'll ever meet!

And I thought that the ad was STUPID; banal, inane, puerile, and extremely badly done! This is THE BLAIR WITCH whatever of kinda, sorta, can this really be a political ad ever done!

I want to like Cain, but he's NOT doing anything at all to make me want to vote for him and a whole lot of things making me NOT want to vote for him.

I won't vote for Romney........EVERY and nobody else is doing it for me either.

Read this thread.......Cain supporters love it and that's it. He had you all at "hello". That's just NOT going to work on the undecideds.

What utter codswallop!
You're talking to Cain supporters. What is "codswallop?" We don't speak "faggot" here.
**
"FAGGOT"?
Codswallop is a perfectly good English/American word. Go look it up, oh vocabulary deprived,uneducated, ridiculous person, who flings "faggot" as a type of language!

Bill Buckley would have known the word..........was HE a "faggot"?

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[animato]

17. too funny

I will look up codswallop

[K8-EEE]

18. OK this is a REAL SENTENCE FROM FR! REALLY!

"You have personally attacked me, for no reason, threatened to stalk me, and when I used a perfectly good word, called it "FAGGOTY LANGUAGE", with the implicit implication that I am an homosexual, just because you are unfamiliar with the word codswallop."

:rofl:

[ehrnst]

24. Needs to be engraved somewhere... (nt)

[K8-EEE]

31. I want the T-Shirt! nt

[opihimoimoi]

23. WTF??? "Take the Country Back" is SO OLD......so is SMOKING....

Cain is a pain....a Oval Loser he will remain

[TwilightGardener]

12. You know, I didn't see anything too notable about it until the guy pulled out a cigarette--

and then Cain's creepy grin. :wtf:

[K8-EEE]

13. Talk about a zero substance ad! I just would love to see the "making of."

I honest to God think he is SUCH a stalking horse for Romney he's trying to lose a few points....I can't think of another motivation for this ad!

[struggle4progress]

19. gotta wonder: what's he smokin?

[OhioBlue]

14. ZOMG - that made me laugh

is it a real ad? The guy taking a drag from a cig? really??? really??? it can't be real.

If it is real - it is THE worst ad I have ever seen in my life. They must be laughing their asses off at the fact that he is actually leading in the primary polls... I don't think they want to win at all.

[K8-EEE]

15. I LITERALLY think he is aiming to come in 2nd and when he polls ahead

they do this kind of shitty ad on purpose. Remember he endorsed Romney in 2008 and he is NOT going after him at all! It's all a big put up job -- they need to split the 70% of GOP who refuse to vote for Mitt in a way where none of them gets over 30%. That is why they are having this debate with ONLY Cain & Newt, the INEVITABLE result will be Newt will pull some from Cain - that's what they want!

[JI7]

16. i don't know why but i can't stop laughing

[BlueMTexpat]

20. "... a campaign like no other ..."

:rofl:

Was the spokesman trying to imitate The Marlboro Man? :shrug: Perhaps not the best-chosen image.

Cain reminded me more of Clarence Thomas than anyone else (also not the best image to remind one of), although come to think of it, I don't believe that I've ever seen a photo of Thomas smiling. On second thought, Cain's smile was more like that of the Cheshire Cat ....

[SkyDaddy7]

21. I posted the video on my Facebook page...

And a friend of mine got mad & wanted to know why I was advertising for Cain...I knew this person did not watch the video so I said "Watch the damn video!"...They did & they too posted it to their Facebook page! LOL!

It will be a classic!

[Scuba]

22. What stood out for me is Block shaking his head "no" while saying "closer to the White House"....

...body language experts will suggest this means he doesn't believe what he's saying.



edited for stupidity.

[beac]

27. "edited for stupidity"

I think that must have been the script for the ad.

[Yavin4]

25. And We All Thought That It Couldn't Get Any Worse Than Sarah Palin

Silly us.

[beac]

26. I started seeing this pop up all over last night, but I didn't comment b/c

I was SURE by this morning it would be debunked as a spoof.

Was he trying to win a bet to top Christine's "I am not a witch" ad? :crazy:

[Douglas Carpenter]

28. perhaps he is reaching for the smokers vote?

could it be working?

30. K & R

I dont know about you guys but I think I have found my candidate. Cain FTW

YES WE CAIN
YES WE CAIN
YES WE CAIN :)

[grantcart]

32. People have obviously commented about the weird smoking but what about

Cain's odd smile at the end.


I expected him to rub his nose and sit down and work out the next scam with Hooker and Gondorf (from The Sting).


It starts out with a pleasant enough smile but widens to the classic chortle of a con artist.

[JuniperLea]

33. That was so evil!

Very creepy.

[Logical]

34. Smoking? Really? Stupid.
