Keep Running Joe: American Crossroads Hits It Out of the Park

By: Erick Erickson (Diary)  |  August 17th, 2012 at 08:57 AM  | 

RESIZE: AAA

I’ve been critical of a lot of the Super PAC ads, but I have to say that American Crossroads has hit it out of the park today:

That is staggeringly awesome. Go give them some cash so they can get that ad up everywhere.

    Although I live in NYC and see very few political commercials, unless it is a nation advertisement, I really hope I get to see this one on CNBC. This one is spot on!

    Joe Biden is by far the worst VP choice I have ever seen, Much worse that Quayle, and Quayle has the liberal media breathing down his neck and watching his every more to catch him making a mistake,

    I’m still uneasy with our running this too soon. Let’s wait till after they officially nominate him. I know some think that pressuring Obama to get rid of him will have the opposite effect, but I’m wary.

    We don’t want Hillary energizing women.
    Great ad, the worst thing you can do to an opponet is make him the butt of a joke.

  • chbroussard

    how the MSM can twist this one into somehow being racist.

  • funwithknives

    infomercial.

    I’d be on the floor helpless, expire, and my wife could send a donation from our insurance.

    …and it would have been worth it…………

    The gift that keeps on giving. Although the same could be said of his boss.

    Him and O say some of the darndest things. But not in a good, fresh way.

    I like my politicians, a little brash and bold, not dumb and dumber.

    against stupid Vice Presidents.

    and is therefore – somehow – racist.

    I think.

    This propaganda billionaire funded site is disturbing in the least and a threat to democracy.

  • Repair_Man_Jack

    Funded by billioniares, farting through silk. Oh, wait. That’s the Tides Foundation.

  • ctredstater

    to boot.

    everyone knows that he was

    – doing a parody of the famous Quayle mis-spelling of “potatoe”

    – talking about the financial services industry

    – praising the diversity of and need for America’s entrepreneurial class

    and
    – commenting on the horrible policies of the Bush administration, which
    left the country in far worse shape than anyone knew at the time

    this is just a blatant and irresponsible mis-representation of our wise Vice President’s inspiring words – and done with contumacious disregard for any
    reasonable standards of civlity which we all agreed to maintain the wake of
    the Abbie Gifford shooting

    Really? Are you serious? What world are you living in?

    I take issue with your use of the word “our”. No way I claim this guy.

    At least not in same sentence with “wise”…….

    When he talks people donate to Romney/Ryan. Great job Jo Jo Biden! Also donate some funds to a few of the Senate races that are close too. I just donated to races in Montana – Florida – Wisconsin & Virginia. I also donated to the Green Party, as they are on the ballot in swing states.

    I am viewing this in a McDonalds and I’m laughing and clapping and making a scene.

    I think I’m beginning to recognize my party again.

    Someone is finally taking your advice, Erick. You’re like the Jeffersons, you done moved right on up!

    How did they forget that one?

    “”There are gonna be a lot of you who want to go, ?Whoa, wait a minute, yo, whoa, whoa, I don?t know about that decision?,” Biden continued. “Because if you think the decision is sound when they?re made, which I believe you will when they?re made, they?re not likely to be as popular as they are sound. Because if they?re popular, they?re probably not sound.”

    Also, it sounds like JOBS is badly dubbed in the beginning. The narrator tends to dominate the ad, but I like his serious tone as a counterpoint to Sheriff Joe. The editing just needs a little tweaking, but it’s a hilarious ad.
