Voting in the Viral Age

Daily Kos is calling this one of the best viral video campaigns ever. And I’m in it! Who knew?! Just check out the headlines below (circled in red):

You can view my entire personal video HERE. It’s only 90 seconds long and — I hate to admit it — rather ingenious. I especially like the granny character at the 40 second mark that says this:

I waited in line five hours to vote with an arthritic hip and this mother-f*cking, c*ck-sucking lazy f*cker couldn’t get out of bed in time to vote.

Wow! Such hostilities. And this is the Party of peace? Anyway, the video is supposed to show what happens if everyone doesn’t vote. And apart from Grandma wanting to castrate me with a pair of rusty hedge clippers, the horrific consequences of me not voting sleeping in include: Dying children hating me, Barack Obama losing the election, Iran getting nuked, and the world plummeting into the Dark Ages. Hmph! You didn’t know I had that kinda power, did ya?

These custom videos can be generated by a site sponsored by MoveOn.org. And I’m guessing a lot of Conservatives will get steamy about this tactic, call it dirty or manipulative (something they’ve been saying about MoveOn since its inception). But whatever one’s opinion, we can’t deny that politics has entered a new age. And unless Conservatives are willing to adapt, be creative, and yes, even fight dirty, they can expect to occupy the hind-quarters of the political establishment for a while.

But, truth be told, I wouldn’t mind being the @$##%^*! who single-handedly defeats the Dem’s Enlightened Being

    So tell me again, how is it Republicans have been labeled as delivering attack ads and the Dems not?

    Thats comedy! Only a damn liberal would come up with that.

    I find that tactic (and the video) offensive.
