His backers jittery, Obama steps up attacks on McCain, belittling him as a disco age relic

Belittling John McCain as a relic of the disco age, Democrat Barack Obama pushed his campaign Friday to a new level of counter-punching "on the issues that matter" and directed his running mate to be tougher on their Republican opponents.

The changes come as national polls find McCain and his running mate, Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, pulling ahead of Obama and Joe Biden, prompting some jittery Democrats to implore them to fight back harder, and Obama's camp to pledge "speed and ferocity" in that effort.

His backers jittery, Obama steps up attacks on McCain, belittling him as a disco age relic

Hmmm...
is this a sign that Professor Cornel West is helping out Obama?
Seeing how he’s already got experience with the hip-hop music scene.
And probably suggested Obama hand the burning tire of Disco
around McCain’s neck.
Well, figuratively.

Cornel West

“West has been involved with such projects as the Million Man March
and Russell Simmons’s Hip-Hop Summit,...”

FR has has been getting into his head. He's plagiarizing again:

Obamamania " is a cult of the irrational and hysteria. Or a dance craze - like Disco." posted on Monday, August 18, 2008 10:58:10 AM (posted on FR 8/18/08)

"Hillary, eyes on 2012, nominates Obama and the convention turns into a Disco to the beat of "Love Train." 379 posted on Wednesday, August 27, 2008 6:56:02 PM (posted on FR 8/27/08)

They are in panic and flailing around.

Older voters certainly are proven reliable voters. They also vote early and their current take on politics will determine their early vote. I think that the Obama people are just in a snit because there is no email trail with the McCain name attached that can be used to whip the media into a frenzy. After the backlash from their personal attacks on the Sarah Palin family, it does not say much for the Obama campaign that they are now trashing elderly people. So many veterans and disabled oldsters in that group. So many active, productive oldesters who are protective of their aging friends, and who are keeping score on the remarkably disrespectful attacks on John McCain, with whom they can identify.

I know this is immature, but the 0bama campaign manager’s name just kills me. Plouffe!

They call McCain “out of touch,” but when nasty attacks are tanking your campaign with the American public, Mr. Plouffe, the most logical strategy is: launch even more and nastier attacks? That’s the ticket, if you want to see your whole campaign go ploof!

"How much money is obama paying his campaign consultants? Whatever it is it isn’t enough from my perspective. Keep up the good work team obama, keep driving up Big Mac’s poll numbers."

I don't know if you have noticed or not but afew weeks back Barry Hussein hired a new Campaign consultant. They keep him under wraps but you can see him skirting around in the background of recent pictures of Barry Huseein.

He wears a disguise and dark glasses but after an extensive background serach I finally found out his true name is:

McCarl Rovenstein

"You know, I'm not going to be making up lies about John McCain," Obama told undecided voters in Dover. But he dipped into history, citing the oft-repeated phrase: "If you don't stop lying about me, I'm going to have to start telling the truth about you."

So this is the riveting and grinding new "counterattack"? Dredging up old worn-out slogans? He doesn't want anyone talking truth to his 'power'. How about talking truth to Beau Biden's power which was misused against a Barry detractor?

That reminds me, since everything they’re doing to Palin is backfiring, it’s time to go back to ole reliable. Blame bush for everything.

McCain the disco age relic? Look at this little known nugget from Obama's early years in Chicago and note the glossy eyed moonbats:

Obama’s “post-racial uniter” facade falls away pretty quick under a bit of pressure.

But his wife, Michelle, was just doing the Disco boogie
on “Ellen” the other day and they had the “Love Train” from Soul Train at the DNC in Denver, so what’s he thinking here?
Too many bong hits?

Well, my son said it best about John McCain’s inability to use a keyboard without it being cumbersome, and McCain’s inability to comb his hair, etc., Even with that disability, McCain “CAN STILL PUT HIS HAND OVER HIS HEART.”

Ouch. That hurts.

Talk about “Disco age”, in 1982 Obama was snorting coke. Probably off some naked guy’s butt.

That was the best comment I’ve seen for a looong time! Particularly this:

“What he should get, however, is his own reality TV show called, “The World According to Barack.” This way he and his fellow celebrity narcissists can spout their vacuous, sophomoric platitudes - and leave the serious business of governing to the grown-ups. “

I can see it...Obama does his very own Oprah!

THE AMABO SHOW - We don’t give you stuff, we take it away from you.
