SEE STORY ABOUT THIS AT http://swingstateofmind.com/?p=311#more-311 THIS IS ONE OF THREE NEW VIDEOS parodying attack ads; the others are "The Ultimate Obama Attack Ad" (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5fuw37_JQLs ) and "John McCain is Not the Antichrist: ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NVwOeJPJvh0 ) "SEE ALL THREE!" ( category - political & other satire & commentary )

This is a tribute to the book, "Unfit for Command: Swift Boat Veterans Speak Out Against John Kerry," which proved once again that you can convince a lot of people that white is black, up is down, and (in this case) that John Kerry is not a war hero, if people are willing enough to believe!

Which brings us to the current capaign against Barack Obama, and the book, "Obama Nation", by the same discredited author ( http://mediamatters.org/items/200408200008 ). Don't get me started. (It's interesting, though, that they couldn't find an ugly picture of Obama for the book cover, after presumably trying their best to do so!)

Song is a parody of the 1966 Robert Parker hit, "Barefootin'". Lyrics at http://www.bluecanyonproductions.com/satire.html#lyrics

This video is made tolerable by the participation of two lovely background singers, healers Nanda Jones ( http://www.NandaJones.com ) (Santa Fe / Telluride / Wichita), and Isobeau Trybula (NYC) ( http://www.communityacupuncturenetwork.org/member/isobeau-trybula ).

I think Michael Phelps would like this - or at least I'm curious to see whether including his name here brings in a lot of views.

Well, maybe not the greatest book of all time. Well, actually, maybe not fit to wipe your ass with, but by golly it made a big impact, along with the rest of the "Swift Boat" campaign, and

  • Jim, have a beer before you reshoot, It'll loosen you up and help you dance less like a straight, white, conservative man.

  • "Jimster" - why would I want to dance less like a straight, white, conservative man? And what does it tell the world about you that you would post a comment like that? Folks, the forum is OPEN?
