I singled out Sean, as he has already put lots of effort into trying to derail Obama and get McCain in.

The conservative talk show hosts and pundits need to talk about how things were quite good under Bush up until 2 years ago(and consider that it was pretty good considering all the money being diverted to Iraq and Afghanistan. Could you imagine if 9-11 never happened?!!) when the Dems took over the House and Senate, and caused the entire demise to everything.

And to thoroughly research this and try to back it up. IF they can do that, McCain will win, as then it will become apparent what an all Dems machine could do if the entire gov't, and possibly all 3 gov't branches were controlled by Dems!

Pretty funny, even McCain doesn't think things were good under Bush. He can't run fast enough away from him. But please, don't let me stop you from you telling us how good things were/are - show your work.

Yes, and he's done such a good job so far.

Yes, that's called "lying," and Hannity does enough of that as it is.

But if 9/11 never happened, what would Republicans blame the past eight years on?!

So you want Hannity to completely reverse exactly what's made his career up until this point. Well, that would be nice, but that's a heluva track record to undo.

IF they can do that, McCain will win, as then it will become apparent what an all Dems machine could do if the entire gov't, and possibly all 3 gov't branches were controlled by Dems!

Yes, heard the dire warnings before: fire and brimstone coming down from the skies, rivers and seas boiling, forty years of darkness, earthquakes, volcanoes, dead rising from the grave, dogs and cats living together--MASS HYSTERIA!!!
Seriously...Have you no sense of embarrassment at all when you post this crap?
 
You are assuming that (1) anyone who takes those shows seriously might consider voting for Obama (they don't) and (2) the kind of extremist partisan propaganda those shows spread doesn't completely turn off moderate voters (it does).

eta: lighten up on the kool-aid. it isn't good for you.

One week to go. How about you research this and try to back it up - and hurry!
 
It just amazes that everybody seems to know what Iamme is talking about.

Do I have this right?

paraphrase of Iamme:
McCain can win the election if he can prove to the country that everything was great from 2000 to 2006, but in 2006 everything went to hell because the Democrats took over control of congress?

If that's what Iamme is saying he's right I suspect, at least in that McCain would win the election if he could do that. I wonder why McCain hasn't attempted that strategy. He could halt all Bush bashing that has become a part of his campaign of late, he could focus on proving to the country what a wonderful president Bush has been and how his only problems were caused by the pesky, evil Democrats. Jeez, perhaps we've underestimated Iamme. All those Obama supporters better hope McCain doesn't find out about this strategy until after the election. It could totally turn things around.
 
I think Iamme's strategy could've worked for the McCain campaign.......if it was started a few months ago. However, it would be a lie and I don't know that most Americans would fall for it.

He should go deeper, and point out just how it is that the Democrats "took over" Congress.

They were voted in by, gasp, voters.

Once McCain has identified this suspicious group of collective activists, he should do everything to make his supporters reject the concept of voting entirely.
 
A thread about Hannity, oh good:

Ode to Sean Hannity
by John Cleese

Aping urbanity
Oozing with vanity
Plump as a manatee
Faking humanity
Journalistic calamity
Intellectual inanity
Fox Noise insanity
You’re a profanity
Hannity
 
When Hannity is in his coffin will he still have the Patriotic Squint on his face?
If the muscles relax post-mortem could he be accused of being Anti-American, thus justifying a hasty burial in order not to be providing encouragement to the Evil Doers?
I think the answers have to be maybe and probably.

I dunno about the squint but I beleive that for years, if not decades, after Hannitys death people will gather to gaze in awe at the thickness and lushness of the plantlife over his grave. When asked for an explanation the groundskeeper will reply, "Well when you throw that much fertilizer in a hole and top it with dirt....."
 
Does the OP actually believe it was the new democratic congress that caused the meltdown?

Well i guess it's not like anyone gave out any subprime mortagages before the dems got elected, nor were housing prices inflated.

Even Rush wouldn't say that it was the new dem congress that was at fault. If the OP isn't getting these ideas from guys like Rush, where would he get that idea?

That isn't quite what he's saying. He's claiming that if Hannity specifically, not McCain, were to somehow prove this, McCain could win. Of course, this lies on the false assumptions that anybody beyond the rabid right-wingers who are already voting for McCain because they think voting democratic is unpatriotic take Hannity seriously.

The OP would probably make more sense if he did claim that McCain could win if he were to prove America's problems are the fault of the democrats, but he specifically said that Hannity should do it. I suspect it would be a lot like the boy who cried wolf if this were to actually happen(which can't or won't for reasons that others have already posted).

Actually, he only singled out Hannity as the archtypical conservative radio talk show pundit. He was saying that the conservative pundits, en masse, would have to push the spin and misinformation to get McCain into office.

(Which he says as if they weren't already spinning and misinforming like crazy people. ...just like crazy people.)
 
After the '06 elections, congress's approval rating was lower than Bush's. Kind of scary.
 
if he pretended he was beaten up by some obama supporters and carved a backwards B on his face, i'm sure it would get mccain elected.

Ah, true. Although I think my point still stands, if Hannity is the type of talk show host that Iamme thinks can help McCain win.

But even if McCain's campaign were to do as Iamme suggest the pundits do, I doubt it would do much good at this point. As with the pundits, the only people who would be affected by it are the people who haven't stopped taking McCain seriously, but those people were going to vote for him anyway. Any attempt by McCain to blame the Democrats for the past two years will be seen as a panicky last ditch effort along the same lines as the terrorist and un-Patriotic accusations that have already been flung about, whether he has the evidence to prove it or not. I think most people would be wondering why he waited so long to bring it up.

Yes, your point still stands. I just felt you were over-emphasising Hannity's role, which was not central to Iamme's (rather silly) point.
