» First Robo Calls, and Now This? Miles Writer: Thoughts, observations and conversations on things literary and not so

Posted in September 23rd, 2008

I came home from work today, opened my mailbox, and found this DVD.

Granted, it didn’t come from either of the two major political campaigns, but still… Apparently, some group called The Clarion Fund ponied up the money to flood swing states with 28 million copies of this pre-release, one-hour edition of the full movie. The Popular Progressive blog does some digging.

Anyone else get one of these in the mail or have one slip out of a newspaper?

My mom got one in the mail. Scared the hell out of her. She brought it over here. Maybe I will view it and follow your link and try to find some evidence to calm her.

Maybe I’ll blog it.

Oh yeah. Hi Miles!

Thanks for stopping by, Erin.

I was all set to be frightened, but when I put the DVD into the player, it kept saying there was an error on the disk and it even shut down the DVD player at one point! So if you have better luck, I’d like to know what you find out about our collective fate.

Got three at my house. One for my wife one for me and one for my wife’s maiden name. Scanned though this crap on the DVD and wow… it’s nothing but a FUD piece from the right wing agenda bent on scaring mongoloid middle America.

Problem is that of the 28 million they sent out I’m sure they hit at least 27.5 million idiots who think that the islamo-fascists are going to attack small town America.

A good DVD for the Obama campaign to get behind err I mean a 501(c)(d)(e)(f)(g)(now I know my ABCs) would be “Investment… Radial Wall Streets war against the middle class”

Thanks for visiting, Eric. And for commenting.

Wow. Three at one address. How efficient. It’s clear they have the interests of the entire nation at heart, and not just eligible voters in a household.

Big MacPalin knows how to deal with these foreigners from foreign countries. And after we knock off the muslims in those foreign countries we can get those “domestic terrorists” who are drilling holes into the skulls of our children, raping our mothers etc.
