McCain Uses Obama Logo in Latest Ads

By On October 23, 2008 · 10 Comments

Look closely. I damn near clicked this thinking it was FOR Obama. Until I saw “Paid for by McCain-Palin 2008”:

I figured what the hell and clicked it to see what they wanted people to speak out on. The link goes to a page that begs you not to connect McCain with Bush. LOL. That narrative ship has sailed, clearly. 12 days out it’s a little late to try to convince the electorate of something that has been pretty well established over 2 years now.

Here’s the page you’re taken to

I figured I’d let them know how I felt since they asked:

I saw the ad on FiveThirtyEight.com, btw.

  • I saw that too Eric…hilarious that McCain tries to rip off the “change” theme and then hijacks the Obama campaign logo. They are flailing away. Much “sound and fury, signifying nothing.” Thanks for the canvassing video by the way, persuaded me to do another round of canvassing last weekend…will probably have another go of it tomorrow.

  • Flailing indeed.

    Thanks for catching the canvassing bug. I’m out of the loop on business until later next week. Plan to organize election day canvassing here in Delaware though. Thanks for all you are doing.

    Yes we can.

  • Obama has used McCain’s pictures in his ads too….so what

  • I voted for myself in your poll even though it wont happen. I just like to win things.

  • I voted for you too Ben. I doubt it would happen, but I figured you might be in a good mood with the Phillies and all…who knows. Although in the video you and Kyle did for that radio program, you seemed pretty set in your ways. Looks like all of the intellectual conservatives are hopping on the O-train though (Powell, Fried, Buckley, etc.). Choo, Choo. Just think, you don’t want to have to tell your kids that you voted for “the other guy.”

  • @4: Obama used the McCain campaign LOGO in an ad? Along with color scheme? Come now, Keeler. Don’t do this to yourself, buddy. I kinda like ya.

    @5: I voted for you too! Figured out of that list you had the best chance of gaining your sanity.

    Why would McCain’s campaign work so hard on doing an ad with the Obama logo when they could have just as easily done one with the bastardized Obama/American flag. You know the one: the one with the Big O on the side in the shape of a pennant that they fly all over Ohio. “That one!”
