1. Good thinking by Obama campaigners.

[Ian David]

2. I'd say it was within acceptable levels of dickishness.

And I won't complain if/when Hillary's campaign sees his dickishness and raises him one douchebaggery.

[lame54]

3. yes you will...

everybody will

[Ian David]

4. This is the sort of good-natured old-fashioned dickishness we need in the campaign on both sides.

This is more like throwing a pie than tossing a grenade.

Now, what would have been unacceptable would be if the concert tickets were fake.

Maybe Hillary can set-up a dodge-the-sniper-fire booth during one of Obama's speeches. College kids love paintball.

[NashVegas]

34. While I Don't Care for the Term Being Used

Obama's move was similar to what people used to do in radio station wars in the 1980s and early 1990s.

Seems typical, but you have to consider those were the days when people were purposely divided and set against each other for the sake of gaining ratings.

Doesn't really jibe with being the "unity candidate."

[merh]

40. Yeah, the unity candidate

is supposed to stop trying to win the nomination - sure, whatever you say.

















:rofl:

I tried to keep a straight face and act like your statement was meaningful and profound, I just couldn't. :rofl:

[Ian David]

41. How dare Obama try and attract voters from Hillary during a PRIMARY! n/t

[Lorien]

5. Wow, that is pretty dickish

and the more dickish everyone gets, the more likely many of us will sit this one out!

[Lucky 13]

11. oooooooooh

Well we better watch ourselves then!
:eyes:

[mckeown1128]

20. What a great reason to vote for McCain in november...

How dare Obama give away free Dave Mathews tickets while Bill Clinton holds a campaign rally... 4 years of McCain here we come!!!! :sarcasm:

[Lorien]

38. Yeah, that's JUST what I wrote, that I was voting for McCain

:eyes:

All three rate RIGHT> AUTHORITARIAN on the political compass. All three will kiss up to major corporations if in office. McCain is OBVIOUSLY the most repugnant and vile of them all. I've never been a fan of Hillary, and though Obama's positions leave a load to be desired, he himself is less abrasive than Hillary and has a better chance against McCain, imho. However, his most fervent followers are some of the most hostile, knee jerk reactionary posters that have ever hit these boards. It's a turn off, period. Does the Obama campaign REALLY need to use donor dollars to buy DAVE MATTHEWS TICKETS? Are they so afraid of what the other side has to say that they'll squander campaign cash just so that students don't hear them? That move is simply pathetic. I pray that Obama himself didn't rubber stamp that one, because it's the kind of shit that republicans pull.

[mckeown1128]

42. Dave Mathews is doing the conert for free...

Obama's campaign didn't pay for the tickets.. they created the tickets.. get your facts straight before you smear Obama and call him pathetic.

[karynnj]

37. IU has a HUGE campus - it can take over 20 minutes to walk from one end to the other

Now, had they gone in and interrupted the speech - breaking in to say something like "Now, in IU Memorial Hall, the Obama campaign is giving out free tickets for the concert - that would be bad. Should the campus only have one class at a time too.

[JVS]

45. That is some of the dumbest shit I've ever seen posted. You seriously want...

to sit out an election and let McCain win because Obama's campaign gave out free rock tickets at an inappropriate time?

:crazy:

[EnviroBat]

6. Oh Man, that's good!

[DefenseLawyer]

7. That's more "gamesmanship" in politics than a real low blow.

Neil Patrick Harris stealing Harold and Kumar's car, that was a dick move.

[powergirl]

8. It's fair and funny. And it wasn't Sen. Clinton who was speaking anyway.

I find it as offensive as Sen. Clinton alerting the press that she is making a concession speech (from a prior primary) and then she doesn't concede and gives a stump speech - so she can get a free commercial. Same deal.

[SoonerPride]

9. So Dave Matthews is more popular than Bill Clinton?

So?

Maybe the Clinton campaign can up the ante and drop bags of cash somewhere while Obama's speaking.

Oh wait, they'd have to borrow those from Obama.

Never mind.

[lame54]

14. Quoting Cheney? -way to make your point...

It shows that popular culture trumps political speech
young people would rather attend a concert than listen to a two term ex-president speak

[SoonerPride]

16. More people vote for American Idle than they do for president, too.

That's the world we live in.

And "so" is not a word owned by Dick.

I used it long before it burbled forth from his odious mouth.

[lame54]

17. He owns it now - nice try

[Forkboy]

18. Are you seriously suggesting that if someone now says, "so?" they are acting like Cheney?

Seriously? :shrug:

[JVS]

46. Saying "So?" is as great an american tradition as saying "go fuck yourself"

And I'm not going to let Cheney take either away from me!

[SoonerPride]

19. Your username is apropos.

Indeed.

[lame54]

21. not original...

i get that reply all the time

[redqueen]

22. ...

:rofl:

[Forkboy]

23. hehe

That has me rolling too. :D

[SoonerPride]

24. I'm sure you do.

Were you not so, er, yourself, you might get the hint.

[snooper2]

32. :)

:rofl: :rofl:

you didn't do well with patterns in school did you :rofl: :rofl:

[JVS]

48. I wonder why.

:shrug:

[11 Bravo]

33. "burbled"? "odious"? Such a refined practitioner of erudition probably should know ...

the difference between "idol" and "idle".

[SoonerPride]

36. It was intentional. That's my name for that crap. "American Idle." Sitting in front of the tube.

A pacified populace wasting their lives instead or working for the betterment of their fellow man.

TV is the opiate of the masses.

And that drek is the worst brand of smack on the market.

[berni_mccoy]

10. Yeah, I saw that. It was hilarious.

[lisa58]

12. If Elton John was playing for free...

...they could have done the same thing.

[Adelante]

13. Smooth move

:D

[Submariner]

15. Evening up the 2 to 1 odds

Hillary has her 'coat-tails' campaigning for her, while she is off campaigning elsewhere, so the Obama campaign just neutralized president 'coat-tails' to level the playing field. Good move.

[uponit7771]

25. Dickish but witty,

[AtomicKitten]

26. It was truly an original light-hearted political smooth move and I say bravo!

[TahitiNut]

27. So... what's the difference between "dickish" and "ballsy"??

:dunce: God forbid anyone use the word "pussy" though.

[JVS]

47. When I and mine do something it's ballsy, when they and theirs do something it's dickish

[endarkenment]

28. I have to ask why "dick move" is acceptable

but using cunt to describe anything is out of the question.

[SoonerPride]

29. Because people love Dick

And his moves.

[endarkenment]

30. Good point.

[NashVegas]

31. I Take It Back

Stewart is obviously trying to make a point. Which one it is, I'm not sure.

[crispini]

35. Ahahahaha!

Pretty funny! Thanks for posting. :rofl:

[sudopod]

39. Epic troll by the O man! XD nt

[scheming daemons]

43. Awesome... stuff like that is why he's winning.....

...

[JVS]

44. What an awesome tactic!

GOBAMA!
