  • Yawnie. Bristol Palin's school taught her to use condoms. This isn't particularly relevant. Barack Obama's mom was pregnant in the same way, and we don't condemn him, do we? The document is right. In polite society, we try to be nice to children. You're welcome to use her children as a talking point. It just means you're an arsehole.

  • Who's criticizing Bristol for getting pregnant? Not me. You realize you've appended to a video about how the Republicans gave out cuesheets at their convention telling everyone what opinion to have on the pregnancy, right? That party messaging was being presented as free speech on national TV. And that since the break-up between Bristol and her boyfriend we know these "Talking Points" were wholly false - the Palins were mortified, not "unconditionally loving," the young couple were props.

  • At first I thought your comparison with this to the story of a soldier dying unnecessarily in Iraq was completely ridiculous. The death of these young people in Iraq and Afghanistan is on the surface a much bigger outrage. But then I thought about it, and how the abstinence-only, pro-life crew constantly attack young women in unfortunate situations and make them feel like murderers. That is truly outrageous, they feel the need to criticize others' personal lives, but their own is off limits.

  • Excellent...Brilliant....I love your last point about children of candidates. Scary but brilliant and the comparison to bodies being quietly flown home.

  • i like ur work man...but in this one id say without asking..we kno how much of a hypocrite palin is...no need to ask just do not votef or her.peace out

  • I have been in a committed lesbian relationship for almost 12 years and I believe I may be falling in love with you..........you are brilliant

  • Five stars!

  • p.s. I like the points you make. I've been thinking of making videos for a while now but always feel like I will never be as eloquent or have my information as well thought out as others.

  • You are an amazing man, you see how the USofA can teach our children hate I realllllly like you and you are a very wise man I wish it were more people like you. I will NEVER ALLOW AMERICA to make me to hate people I don't know. How can someone be so prolife but they teach the most prize possession of all, HATE!~ That republican party is not of GOD people DO NOT BE FOOLED by their PROLIFE stance!~

  • This is one of the best political commentaries EVER!

  • Ampersand, I've just been so overwhelmed with the poison of pailin and the Malice of McCain... It's so refreshing to find someone who can look through the barage of propaganda, reasearch the facts, and draw a logical conclusion that exposes these people for who they truly are. Keep up the good work man. You are amazing!

  • If her family deserves it's privacy- then why does Palin parade around using them as mere props, especially her down syndrome abomination.

  • it's funny how she never said "I am so proud I am becoming a grandmother"

    I guess the writers thought it was risky

  • you made all that up anyone can fake documents you people are idoits.

  • Really? perhaps you should learn about Google. Search on one of the quotes in the piece. Put quotes around it (that's a "boolean" search, but perhaps "boobean" in your case). You'll find that dozens of others independently unearthed the same email from the RNC.

    It hurts to learn you're a lemming dittohead, doesn't it? But really, take the ten seconds and do your homework before you say stupidities like this.

  • Is it true I google a quote!

  • i'd love to see your response to AmpersandPilcrow's question. :)

  • Beautifully reasoned & well-spoken, Amp! What you've cited is but another reason why our Democracy & its economy are now quickly sinking: courtesy of the old hands like the Bushes, Cheney & McCain, plus the newer predators like the reptilian Sarah Palin.

    If only the poor victims of 9/11/01 could see NOW what their America of even 2001 has become, here in late 2008: 7 yrs after that fateful Tuesday when they died so that the End of America could be hastened even faster. This is so tragic!

  • Hey Amp, another fine example of a fully-functional brain at work. A suggestion to you (it's on my Wish List of Stuff I Should Know Much More About): how about an in-depth of "Whatever Happened To the First Mrs. McCain?" Thanks for providing much thought provoking commentary...

    Cindy O

  • Oh you mean after the accident, where the first former model Mrs. McCain was somewhat disfigured and during recovery Mr. M cheated on her and then decided he didn't love her anymore? Nice guy, that John McCain!

  • I agree that passing around an email of what to say and how to act is annoying. But I personally DO believe that family matters should be left alone. If I was asked by a reporter about my thoughts of the pregnancy I would say that I haven't truly thought about it because she's just a kid who I don't really care about.

  • when are you getting your own show???? and to the one above...why condoms now???? you have already been born!!!! (joke).

    Seriously,you are great, are you going to diversify on the topics????

  • "Talking points"... Indispensable for the zombies who attended the Republican convention.

  • Yoo ABSOLUTELY ROCK!

    Awesome reports- I'm enjoying you very much!

    I knew there WAS a reason politicians usually do sound like parrots- the facial expressions often don't match what comes out of the front of their faces... tricky. tricky. tricky....

  • very nice

  • Very well said.

    "like a body being shipped home at night"

    You've been listening to "Thanks For the Support" by Roy Zimmerman, haven't you? ;)

  • This is great. We need more people like you.

  • This is the sort of brilliant commentary I haven't seen in my country for a long time. Probably because the controlled corporate media knows having a message like this broadcast to millions kind of spoils their plans on who they want to make look good and who they want to make look bad.

  • I'm surprised you haven't been offered a cable tv show. seriously- your delivery is so dramatic, yet I don't want to kill you.

  • Wow. Smart, interesting, analysis. Imagine that. SUBSCRIBED!

  • Not having a dog in the hunt, I feel at ease to say that the definition of the phrase "long shot" is the possibility that you could get any more smug, arrogant, supercilious, haughty and misleading.

    You are just like the rest of the party-politic drones blinded by the burning prod of seperatism.

    I have DECIDED that your REPORTS have the slant of one who believes that he is the smartest person in any room. Please get over yourself!

  • Wow. Really creative and good storytelling. I was enthralled the entire time! Excellent!

  • The mothership will land in 2012 an distribute condoms.

    Im supossed to to say that.

  • Part 3

    How sad that the people are being played for such saps & fools. The republicans aren't even being made to try to come up with a good rip off....they just threw something together at the last minute & the women in all their self righteous indignation lapped it up like it was manna from heaven.

    The women of this country are getting a good round of "Who's Your Daddy" being played on them and they are so blind they can't see it.

  • Part 2

    Then comes Sarah Palin. Could this be just show & nothing would really come of it? Then the onslaught of scandal's and I knew that Karl Rove's toadies had hit pay dirt.

    This was compounded by Rick Davis telling MSNBC that Sarah didn't have to talk to any media. That explained their whole scheme. It was like watching "Wag the Dog" all over again. Karl Rove = Conrad Breene. Rove isn't the main orchestra leader here...but who do you think Schmidt is taking his orders from?

  • Part 1

    I have been sitting back wondering just what tactic the republican's would use to steal the election this time around. They didn't have the benefit of McCain having a family member as governor of any states like W did with Jeb. So that option was out. I figured maybe there would be an attack of some kind on this country, or maybe something more outrageous than that to swing people over to McCain, but I couldn't think of anything. Nobody likes McCain, no matter what you do with him.

  • An all-time low: A YouTuber who is a McCain supporter is going around writing posts in the GUISE of an Obama supporter. The comments are racist, sexist, inflammatory hate speech, meant to reflect poorly on Obamites and African-Americans. But click on the poster's profile and guess what the poster's only subscribed-to channel is? JohnMcCaindotcom - McCain's official propaganda home here on YouTube.

    How's that for an honest discussion?

  • This, too, should be on the MSM....

    how can it be made to happen?

  • Well done, sir, I respect your research and attempt at presenting a neutral vLog, which is much more difficult than people seem to think.

    This one was a bit overly-dramatic on your emphasis and delivery, I'll admit. But entertaining and thought-provoking, as always!

  • Good vid man, we really need to be paying closer attention to these people right now, ALL of them. Does this all look and feel like a bit of a SCAM to anyone else? What has happened to our Government?

  • Great videos, btw- please, keep 'em coming!

  • I think it would have been more effective to have just posted the talking points then to show bits and pieces and then rant in William Shatner style for 10 minutes.

  • Then open your own Youtube channel and get to work. cheers, Ampers

  • Am not into these conspiracy theories, but your research is right on point. Any woman whose water has broken knows to go to the hospital ASAP! You are even in light labor and having contractions shortly thereafter, and yes, you are "leaking" amniotic fluid- no way are you acting "normal" or staying dry on a plane for 8 hrs.. NO Dr. would tell you o.k. to get on a plane at that point. This woman is Stepford V/P, and I feel like we are in a remake of Invasion of the Body Snatchers-good research!

  • Great video. I think most of the electorate actually believes that there's no way the Republicans could be this evil. People, wake up. Republicans have brainwashed their own party into believing this drivel. The fact is the Republican party is not an American party; its the party of Big Business. Profit above all is protected, not Americans. Want proof...look to Iraq.

  • The republicans dictate policy much like Nazi Germany. It's very frightening that these people may con an unsuspecting , ignorant American public into giving them another 4 years of their horrible policies and harm to our country.

  • Give that man a shovel he knows how to dig. Every farmer knows you got to put that dung in the spreader if it is going to do any good.

  • A fresh alert to YouTubers: I've been hit today with about a dozen Republican trolls who opened accounts but have never used them except to attack my own and other videos they don't want you to see.

  • I do beleive that....even the mainstream media is afraid to go here...they keep repeating the SAME hurrican stories over and over again...makes you go ummmmmm...I think people believe we are stupid! Keep being "FAIR and BALANCED"(joke) in your reporting.....

  • I want to see them. I am in no way convinced that Sarah is this baby's mother. Not in light of all that I have seen and read. Too much smoke, where there is smoke there is fire. Who wants someone to be our VP who is so ambitious as to sacrifice her daughter? Even if it were her child, she flies eight hours after her water breaks? Please.

  • OCD

  • Was Sarah given "Bitching-Points" before making her shrill speech the other night?

  • Don't even get me started on talking points...

  • Do you have a job? Why is this so important to you? Doesn't always happen in every election? You obviously have no life or hobbies that you would waste your time in putting this crap together. It's apparent that you don't have any friends cause if one of my friend's was doing this I would tell him "Dude! Get real! Don't be an ass!" Politicians feed off of this!" What party do you support? Everyone has skeletons in their closet. NO One is safe from the media when they are public servants.

  • Sure I have a job. I just don't watch as much television as you do.

  • Awesome response.

  • mfischer78219

    At least AmpersandPilcrow is asking questions and helping others do the same. You sound like one of those mindless feeders who just want to drink the KoolAid and be fed by what the media and government tells you. Trying asking questions for a change and use your brain a little. I know it's hard, but I think you might be able to manage. :-) Everything you see is orchestrated in politics. Everything.

  • mfischer78219..

    why would you just insult him immaturely? he's not being a jerk about this, he's stating his opinion and facts in a mature way. even if you don't agree with him, don't be stupid and say he has no life or friends, it's dumb.

  • I'm not insulting anyone. It is so ridiculous that so many people act as if this person is the worst thing that can happen for America. Listen , yes I am a Republican and McCain wasnt my first choice but he's the nominee so here we are. All I am saying is I cant understand why some go to this length to bash a political candidate. I mean c'mon, have we all forgotten about "Slick Willie?" He looks like a saint now and look at what skeletons he brought to the White House.

  • I'm not bashing her. I'm taking her and my country seriously -- I think she's the wrong person to be a heartbeat away from a 72 year old cancer survivor who would be the oldest president in US history. And I'm telling you why this is so.

  • I take it that your one of those "Republican trolls" trying to attack this guy LOL.

  • Bravo. One thing the Republicans have always been good at is goose-stepping to the same script. Democrats tend to actually think for themselves. That is why they shoot themselves in their feet so often. The Democratic Party is democratic -- both its greatest strength and its greatest weakness.

  • You show clips of the the people who used the speaking points

  • thanks, ampersand. the presidential election is the ultimate advertising campaign. we ought to be aware of the psychological manipulation taking place here. does anyone question advertising? journalism? politics? all three employ psychological manipulation techniques that have been developed through the study of psychology and human behavior. let's not become lab rat voters!!!

  • As an Australian, this disturbs me greatly.

    Are Americans that stupid? Are they really?

  • Brilliant...and the setting up of no-go zones.

    These people are almost automatons...talk in aboslutes...but then their lock step archaic religion that promises eternal torture if you err won't tolerate anything else.

  • I wanted to alert all YouTubers to the presence of Republican trolls who are going around YouTube posting the message that the National Organization of Women is going to mount a boycott against US Magazine on Sarah Palin's behalf and other such nonsense. This is an obvious attempt by the Republican machine to try to claim Sarah Palin is a feminist. NOW is not planning any such action, and Sarah palin is a feminist (in the movement sense) about as much as Dick Cheney is.

  • I have a feeing that if Mcpalin wins alaska will become a country and give them rule of the oil they want at all costs. sounds like the biggest coverup in the nation and to make it worst that alaskan govenor used our tax dollars to build a bridge but give the money to alaskan people now how do you republicans feel about that and since you guys are for the war dont you think we could have used 300 million in iraq not alaska. i want my money back

  • The spirit of hate comes in many packages. Really, someone should compare her resume to that of Adolf. It's frickin' scary. Oh yeah she is from THAT Idaho! May God help us all.

    Expect more wars and less liberties. And the goosestep!

  • Yeah, just like the on the morning of 911.Georgia Bush Sr. was having breakfast with Bin Laden family,(well documented) and our Government was in the middle of a "test run" that was simulating hijacked planes being flown into buildings. (documented) and those of us with a brain were saying "God, this is so odd, somethings not right" now after a weekend of internet suggestion that Bristol Palin is the Mother of Little Trig, they come out and say "hey she just happens to be 5 months pregnant"..Odd

  • Thanks for this. I've been wondering why they all give the same responses.

  • Bravo! Not only are you good at bringing up legitimate points but you deliver them so well, very dramatic, you are so comfortable in front of the camera, have you taken acting lessons?

  • You're funny!

    Really enjoyed this. I was hanging on every word. You could have been talking about how to make and can your own dog food and it would have been the same.

    :-)

  • How disturbing. Sarah Palin is a simple-minded puppet.

  • This is why I hate talking points. Its like a cheat sheet for answers.

  • You are so dramatic...I'm going to subscribe, but only until the election and it's probable controversies are mostly forgotten. So...I guess I'll be here for a while.

  • A reporter was asking exactly why they say the same thing on television today.

    Why is the same thing said, at times in the same words about Sarah and Briston Palin !

  • Great video man, keep 'em coming. Consider another subscription coming your way. The end of your video was really creepy with you fading away like that though. Nearly gave me chills.

  • Hey I like this guy. He speaks the truth! The candidates are so fake and here's the proof! You can't trust a thing them or many of their supporters say! Thanks Ampersand! Give us more.

  • lol..i was thinking chevy chase as well.

    you really are giving me goosebumps over here with the way your delivering all this spin to us! you have that certain something that makes people listen..i'll keep tuning in too!

    peace:)

  • Thank you Ciao. I miss the '80s too.

  • Two thoughts:

    1) If this were 1992 instead of 2008, and the name were "Chelsea" instead of "Bristol", the right would be all over it like pirhanas, talking about what immoral parents Bill & Hillary were.

    2) Any candidate should realize that he/she, their spouse&kids, inlaws and outlaws, schoolmates, workmates, etc, etc, are fair game. In fact, they DO realize that, and should have their sh!t together beforehand or not run. You can't say you're about family and then say your family isn't in it!

  • are you related to Chevy Chase

  • I will subscribe and continue to watch for more information from you as I feel that you are, at least in presentation, genuine and honest and those are two very important qualities that are absent in so many of the videos posted here, especially on the topic of politics. Maintain believability and you will have a large following!!!!

  • you are the man. you need your own show. well, i guess you kinda have one. i'll keep tuning in. you keep reporting.

  • I can't see Sarah Palin doing anything other than scream for an hour at her daughter after she found out.

  • yeah--where did you get that document? and, just for fun, how do we know you didn't type it up? i mean, if 100,000 people are going to watch you on youtube, and take everything you say as truth, give us a little bit of reason to believe you . . .

  • Bravo!

  • where did you get that document from?

  • These scum-bags crony up and spin everything. Sarah will no doubt use the downs syndrome card to swing Dem families with disabled kids. Yea, "vote for me cause I'm like you."

  • But I am not asking the children,I just want your very own personal opinion of how it affects your very own personal opinion. But you aren't real are you, you have strings and are made of wood. Zombies

  • OMG I AM SO LOVING Your CHannel. You are in the same league as THEREALNEWS NETWORK and HISTORY COMMONS WEBSITE. Wow.

  • This is brilliant. George Orwell lives.

  • Love your videos, and am impressed that you were able to get Peter Krause from Six Feet Under to perfom them! ;)

    Good work, as always.

  • Dude, you are getting curiouser and curiouser, with the light effects and such. You've hit the nail on the head, though. The most sickening, despicable thing about this is that, knowing the effect it would have on an obviously fragile, needy and teetering on-the-edge 17-year old girl, McCain decided to sacrifice her for his (hoped for) political gain, and her parents, who should have been thinking of her welfare first and foremost, decided instead to cast their lot with McCain. Terribly sad.

  • The status quo for Republicans is to prey upon the ignorant. Ignorance is the worst kind of evil. Count how many things were done, said to the American people, and presented as fact which were nothing but lies and ignorance. Its insulting to anyone who has a brain and uses it.

  • Brilliant deductions. What is the name of this technique being used on us? I can think of several. Narcissism (unquestionably the speaker is always right)? Brainwashing ( mind control with a purpose/no independent thought allowed)? Having an agenda that cannot be examined... wow...

  • I guess I'm not surprised by anything the republicans do. Back in 2004 when Bush or Cheney came to have a "town hall" meeting in Albuquerque people wishing to go had to fill out an application stating that they were a republican complete with social security number. When Kerry came to town there was a crowd of Bush supporters in the arena and Kerry addressed them directly. It is just another piece of evidence amongst an ocean of evidence that some republicans are basically just fascists.

  • Palin vetoed support for teenage mothers! Please find more about this.

  • Good video.

  • keep it coming!

  • It's sickening that they do this. I wonder what would happen if you said something completely different from the message.
