IT'S TRAD, DAD. This Times story about some rich guy's attempt at an ad campaign against Obama has mainly gotten attention for a line in the brief referring to the President as a "metrosexual, black Abraham Lincoln." But what makes the whole thing a loser is the unrelenting focus on Jeremiah Wright:

The document, which was written by former advisers to Mr. McCain, is critical of his decision in 2008 not to aggressively pursue Mr. Obama’s relationship with Mr. Wright. In the opening paragraphs of the proposal, the Republican strategists refer to Mr. McCain as “a crusty old politician who often seemed confused, burdened with a campaign just as confused.” 

“Our plan is to do exactly what John McCain would not let us do: Show the world how Barack Obama’s opinions of America and the world were formed,” the proposal says. “And why the influence of that misguided mentor and our president’s formative years among left-wing intellectuals has brought our country to its knees." 

The plan is designed for maximum impact, far beyond a typical $10 million television advertising campaign. It calls for full-page newspaper advertisements featuring a comment Mr. Wright made the Sunday after the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001. “America’s chickens are coming home to roost,” he said.

I don't know much about Joe Ricketts, but clearly he's not paying attention to where his fellow conservatives have taken the discussion. There's nothing here about Obama eating dogs, having a composite girlfriend, murdering Andrew Breitbart, or unleashing black flash mobs on our nation's white people. There's nothing about him trying to take over the internet, or his wife taking ten million dollar vacations. And not one blessed word about Saul Alinsky!

It's like Ricketts walked in from 2008 telling everyone about this great new band called MGMT. As if! Ricketts should spend some time around the cool kids, from whom he will learn that a barrage of non-sequiturs is the New Style. Here's a fine example of the genre from one Leah Lax:

Yes I listen to the Tea Party. Org Bless their anti-Semitic Hearts (showing Jewish love) and today they came so close on who is Obama's Civilian Army they could not join the dots, it became very apparent that the Muslim Black Panthers are this very army. They are funded by the Nation of Islam they admit they are killers; they admit the murder of Malcolm X. But the Tea Party .org blog talk radio let it slip by without even thinking of the obvious. 

They spoke about how Farrakhan is on the CIA payroll but why. Van Jones is on the same payroll as well as Bill Ayes The reason will be to provide a government split into sections 1 a Black nation for Islam 2 a communist nation , 3 a socialist nation. And one will be were the We the people who revolt against them will stay and live. This country will be divided into 4 sections . The South may be the We the People, the north east maybe the Nation of Islam, the upper mid-west may be the Socialist and the Communist will be beyond the Rockies. 

Alaska and Hawaii will stand on its own the new Switzerland

Now we're getting somewhere! C'mon, pops, get with it. You'll be speaking wingnut in no time.
