Earlier this month in Lebanon, Ohio, he said, "I believe in the Second Amendment. I believe in people's lawful right to bear arms. I will not take your shotgun away. I will not take your rifle away. I won't take your handgun away."

There Barack goes, pandering to the center again.... :lol

 

I have no problem with people having guns, I just have a problem with people who are nuts having guns.....

John McCain's 'Idiot Wind' Campaign: Dylan Nails It Again

 

It's always been one of my favorite mid-period Dylan songs (from Blood on the Tracks, for you youngsters), so it was good to see it getting thrust into the final days of the election campaign. I speak of "Idiot Wind' from the mid-1970s. It opens, "Someone's got it in for me/They're planting stories in the press/Whoever it is I wish they'd cut it out quick/But when they will I can only guess."

 

The Washington Post, preparing a lacerating editorial attack against John McCain for his dirty campaign tactics, asked the latest GOP bogeyman, the Palestinian professor/scholar (and Obama acquaintance) Rashid Khalidi, what he thinks of the current uproar. He wrote back briefly, "I will stick to my policy of letting this idiot wind blow over."

 

The Post then put "Idiot Wind" in its headline.

 

Indeed, I think when the dust settles, so to speak, next week, perhaps the phrase"Idiot Wind" will endure as the lasting depiction of the McCain-Palin campaign. We don't need a Weatherman, such as Bill Ayers, to know which way the wind blows. He's bringing it all Barack home.

 

The refrain of Dylan's "Idiot Wind" captures the tone of the McCain-Palin campaign perfectly:

 

Idiot wind, blowing like a circle around my skull,

From the Grand Coulee Dam to the Capitol.

Idiot wind, blowing every time you move your teeth,

You're an idiot, babe.

It's a wonder that you still know how to breathe.

 

And then there's this:

 

You hurt the ones that I love best and cover up the truth with lies.

One day you'll be in the ditch, flies buzzin around your eyes,

Blood on your saddle.

 

And:

 

I noticed at the ceremony, your corrupt ways had finally made you blind

I can't remember your face anymore, your mouth has changed,

Your eyes don't look into mine.

 

And finally:

 

I've been double-crossed now for the very last time and now I'm finally free,

If McCain loses, I'd like to see this ad:

(clip of John McCain last week guaranteeing he'll win the election)

Menacing voiceover: "John McCain guaranteed he'd win this election."

(clip of McCain conceding the race)

MV: "Now - he's flip-flopped. How can we trust a man who can't even hold his promises for a week?"

(shot of McCain giving thumbs up - fade from color to b/w)

MV: "John McCain - wrong on this election - wrong for this country."

-This message was paid for by The Committee of This Shit Ain't Over John-

still, I have to admit that four years of Palin tribute porn might not be too bad.

Wrong thread, man - but I do agree with that.
