John McCain to unleash 101st Fighting Keyboarders - Concern Troll Division:
John McCain's campaign is using their campaign website to encourage supporters to post supportive comments on political blogs, including the most well-known liberal site in the blogosphere. And to make things easier, they're including talking points with which sympathizers can use to get out the McCain message.
"Select from the numerous web, blog and news sites listed here, go there, and make your opinions supporting John McCain known," instructs the page.
McCain supporters are asked to send the details of their comment to the campaign, which in turn will verify it and then reward the supporter with "points" (assumedly to accumulate for McCain swag).
Among the "featured blogs" currently is Daily Kos, the well-read liberal blog run by Markos Moulitsas that frequently mocks and attacks Republicans such as McCain.
You would think that they would be encouraging the McCain supporters (mainly made up of elderly people who use their "computer TV-box thing" for exchanging pictures of their grandchildren and searching for risque pictures of Jill St. John -- hubba-hubba!) to spend more time shoring up McCain's support in the comments at Malkin, Townhall, or Red State if they're really desperate for low-hanging fruit. But, no, these are the same people who thought that invading Iraq was a swell idea.
If you're looking for tell tale signs of McCain infestation, besides:
"John McCain is the kindest, bravest, warmest, most wonderful human being I've ever known in my life... Now where's my fucking tote bag?"
I would be on the lookout for "Mary Rosh", "Sprezzatura", Maggie Gallagher, Armstrong Williams, and "Steven Forrest".
By the way, I wrote his post while enjoying the great taste of Dr. Pepper: "Now's the Time. This is the Place. Dr Pepper Is The Taste." and wearing a Trojan condom, now with the incredible Vibrating Ring.

Aren’t they afraid if the wingnuts visit Kos, the Great Orange Satan (all hail) will use his secret mind control techniques and brainwash them into voting for Obama?
Hey, wait a minute! The fine print says they don’t sell that vibrating ring in my state; WTF?
I was all worried because the vibrating ring only lasts 20 minutes, not really a long enough time (heh, heh), and then I, like makeitstop, found it unavailable in my home state.
Seriously, tbogg, you didn’t really expect political discussion instead of juvenile sex talk did you?
Shit, I clicked on the Jill St. John link.
Bastard.
I can see the results now:
I’m a lifelong Democrat but I’m voting for war hero John McCain. You should too.
-Liberal Tom
I’m a lifelong Democrat but I’m voting for war hero John McCain. You should too.
-Liberal Agnes
I’m a lifelong Democrat but I’m voting for war hero John McCain. You should too.
-Liberal Joe
I’m a lifelong Democrat but I’m voting for war hero John McCain. You should too.
-Liberal Andy
….
I was going to leave some bullshit McCain talking points here, but I think I might get better swag if I drop them on Cliff Schecter.
Dennis, I’m surprised that wasn’t over there at that site: verbatim. Insert name here. And it would show up on liberal sites as:
I’m a lifelong Democrat but I’m voting for war hero John McCain. You should too.
-Insert Name Here
….
Can we impale them on spits, roast them alive over bonfires, and eat their livers? Then we all can sing kumbaya. And since they definitely sell those vibrating rings here in the wilds of western Montana, I know what this daddy is getting for father’s day!
I am totally going to sign up with the McCain campaign and start posting concern troll comments at dKos so I can get McCain swag! Hey, who wouldn’t?
Oh, it gets better. One of the featured blogs is RedState. Here are a couple of today’s talking points:
-and-
There are serious issues at stake in this election, and serious differences between the candidates. And we will argue about them, as we should. But it should remain an argument among friends; each of us struggling to hear our conscience, and heed its demands; each of us, despite our differences, united in our great cause, and respectful of the goodness in each other.
Anybody here registered at RedState? Because someone should post one or both of those verbatim and watch the reaction…
So NOW then want us to “respect the goodness in each other” in political debate; after all these years of Rovian ratfucking, Faux Spews, and the radio screamers. They must be starting to realize just how far they have circled down the drain, and are realizing even Superman couldn’t swim against that forceful flush. Keep pulling that handle America!
Well, it worked so well for Ron Paul…
Yep, and “Insert Name Here” would probably be the points leader in a couple of days.
“exhausted??” hahahahahaha
Set it on top of the teevee, next to the meth and the ammo.
What does battery seepage look like in the dark?
I’m there.
Hey ya’ll, watch this!
Hey guys - Howie and Jane are DOUBLE-Matching $25 dollar donations to an EXTREMELY important and qualified candidate, Larry Kissell RIGHT NOW now at FDL.
That means for every $25 the pups offer - it ends up being $75 for Larry. Please consider a donation for Blue America! Thanks.
… wait, I just skimmed this thread, let me see if I got it right: John McCain’s third wife twice removed, Jill St. John, will give me 20 minutes worth of battery-operated self-stimulation if I post something flattering about McSame over at RedState? I see. Beats coupons, I guess…
“Discontinue use if any penile discomfort such as irritation, swelling, or discoloration develops.” Is that part about Cindy McCain, Iraq or the general notion of being a Republican?
… so, McCains’ internets tube guys just wrote to me and said thx for all the hard work. They’re sending me one of these as soon as he wins the gen’rul election.
The vibrating ring lasts much longer than 20 minutes. At least, the one my girlfriend and I got. Although initially bought on a lark and used together a couple times (with more laughter than pleasure on both our parts), it found much of its use as a solo tool by the gf during a time when my grad school work forced me to stay up late at night pounding out a research paper. I heard that thing buzzing across the room from under the covers for nearly a fortnight. I thought I was going to be permanently replaced. Luckily, the batteries did eventually die right around the time my work load started easing up. But believe you me, I had many a fear that the thing would never quit and my services would never be called upon again.
Is it weird that I just wrote that story?
So, if we put pro-McCain comments on Daily Kos, dowe win a “McCain ‘08 20-Minute Vibrating Cock Ring,” or just that coffee mug?
Imagine if the RudePundit had comments. The fun we could have with McSame’s prop of the day.
These guys are idiots. I keep checking DKos to see who’s the first to post a diary on this. I nominate TBogg. We need a nice, syrupy-sweet diary extolling the virtues of McBush.
Late here, but still:
“*Trojan Vibrating Ring™ is not for sale in AL, CO, GA, KS, LA, MS, TX or VA”
“South Carolina: Bastion of Hedonism”
While the Trojan Vibrating Ring might be lots of fun I can see how it might be a little awkward for those suffering from post-coital tristesse. I mean, you’re spent and here this little sucker is, still droning on for another 17 minutes or so.
Sort of like McCain.
Especially when the collar and cuffs match…
Hi, I’m a long-time godless commie liberal like all of you, and I never thought it would happen to me, but one night I was sitting at home and there at the door was none other than John McCain! I opened the door hesitantly, and then he asked me with a sly smile whether he could come in. I said yes, just for a little bit, and then he reached around me and…
Hey! This thing is causing swelling of my penis! WTF, this has never happened before! It’s just supposed to sit there limp!
That’s it. I’m voting for Ron Paul.
Jill St. John Photo Gallery — ha! I probably would’ve gone with Ann-Margaret — my Dad considers her “hubba-hubba”.
If my email becomes junked up with Trojan Vibrating Ring spam, I’m forwarding it to you tbogg.
TBogg is late to the party. Two diaries about the McCain concern trolls were on the Kos front page yesterday.
I am really here to apologize for Albert Pujols and to say I am sure he didn’t mean it.
Probably even the Hillary Clinton supporters are laughing at this. There must not have been enough McCain supporters on those sites in the first place to feel stifled or censored.
And Hillaryis44 was not suggested…
What is this, the fourth San Diego pitcher now?
The Politico:
John McCain is a great guy. He’s like Jesus, you know.
Once, when I was going through the DT’s, McCain came along and changed a gallon of water for me into wine. Boy, was my AA sponsor pissed. But it really helped calm me down.
And it wasn’t any of that expensive wine, either. I’d asked for a good Barolo, but he just turned that water all into Ripple ™, and said, “That’s what a good American drinks, not any of that French shit.”
Yeah, I know Barolo’s an Italian wine, but he was just so patriotic about it, so caring for my well-being and Americanness, that I just didn’t have the heart to tell him.
So I just drank all that Ripple ™ down. And when I puked it back up, it came out red, white, and blue.
Thank God, for John McCain! He’s my bitch, and I ain’t letting no tell me different.

The Issue: Time for Solutions
John McCain will put the national interest ahead of partisanship, he will work with anyone who sincerely wants to get this country moving again.
And every time you misuse a comma, I’m going to drown a kitten.
Jill St. John is Jewish; originally, at least. Her birth name is cited as “Openheim” or “Oppenheim.” Does Pastor John Hagee know about this, or would be grant her a dispensation based on the hubba-hubba factor?
I’m working on a joke about trojan horses. Oh forget it. But I do want to point out that McCain’s demographic (old coots) generally speaking were too worried about electrocution to sleep under electric blankets. So I don’t think this is the right free gift for their participation in the McCain troll-a-thon. If it works right, they’ll die of heart attacks before actually voting, and if it works wrong, they’ll get electrocuted and their spouses will be really annoyed.
