Truckloads of key rings en route to Denver
(http://static.crooksandliars.com/2008/08/keys.thumbnail.jpg)
Word is that SEIU is bringing truckloads of key rings and keys to Denver to distribute to <..> conventioneers, in accord with the suggestion we’ve all been hearing that they come equipped to honor the (Who Knows How Many) Homes of Young Johnny and the Lovely Cindy McCranky. But a poster on one of my listservs came up with a killer idea to take it one step further: Every time McCranky’s name is mentioned, everyone in the auditorium jangles their keys!
It would make great TV, so the media would love it. The public would love it, and be reminded of who the McCrankys are. And Young Johnny and his cohorts would go nuts– a bit of payback for 2004, when the GOP cleaned the Dems’ oh-so-respectable convention clock.

It is a very large bongfire. Many Many responses.
As a side note, when even your own fellow DUmmies think it is a bad idea, one should take serious note of this and make some bookings at the rubber-room hotel.

1. Such a bad idea.
The freepers are immediately going to turn this into making fun of McCain's PTSD cues.
This is extremely concerning

134. HE WON'T BE THERE
Good grief. How can he be bothered by a sound he won't be there to hear? Get over your faux outrage. Unless you want to lose yet another election, this is a great idea.
If even one of the more crazy members say its a bad idea ....
I say they should go for it.
Doing shit as mind numbingly stupid as this, helps to show undecided voters, and those people that aren't completely over-the-edge-batshit-insane exactly how the liberal mindset operated, thus helps the right, win elections.

So. Stupid. It. Hurts. :rotf:
Retarded shit like this is why I love reading DU.

My favorite is when someone dies now they have a "Virtual Moment Of Silence" thread where they all make empty posts.
And ages ago they decided to send pictures of their hands to show support for some people going through some kinda trouble.

Great find LC EFA, that is classic piece of stupidity. I hope they do it. :lmao:

McCain is living every DUmmies dream, "almost". He's married to a good looking rich woman but he's still working and not getting high.
Well, actually, the reverse of the red part is every DUmmies dream. ....and any working Skank that will give them money will fill the bill of the first part..

How about passing out keys and a pair of dirty gloves? Each time Obama Hussein's name is mentioned they can shift the keys from one hand to the other.

Use the keys. Period.

Yes, it's about houses and McCain's constant jabbing at Obama as an elitist. There is nothing Rovian or sinister about that.
People are throwing around the "childish" word as if to somehow shame others for encouraging this, suggesting instead Monopoly piece earrings or bracelets. Yeah, that's more mature.
This is a political campaign, and there are gesture like these used all the time.
The public has already heard about the houses, they have no clue about key-related PTSD.
This entire debate is about house keys and the likelihood that the GOP would spin it as a reference to McCain's PTSD. This is what the GOP is willing to do to win: expose McCain as a person traumatized by keys?
The purpose of the keys is to focus on McCain seven to 12 homes, not attack McCain's alleged PTSD (Does anyone have definitive evidence that this is true?)
The hyperventilating that the media is going to make McCain's alleged PTSD an issue by conflating the two thereby destroying Obama's campaign and embarrassing Democrats is complete BS.
The entire cast of Swift Lying purple band-aid promoters are either working for or donating to McCain's campaign. Some are probably the same ones who swiftboated Max Cleland.
McCain doesn't care.
McCain has already been called out by Vets for exploiting his status as a former POW: here and here.
McCain stands by and allows Vets to be attacked, and is linked to a group that has attacked Vets.
I find the hyperbole surrounding the keys to be ridiculous.

3. you make a good case. and it is an interesting question-
Could the press make an issue of Dems invoking McCain's ptsd, without making voters think twice about a president McPTSD?

So far this seems to be causing more trouble for the Dems than anyone else.

The republicans showed their ASSES in 2004 at the RNC when they wore those tasteless purple heart bandaids, thus kicking EVERY AMERICAN VETERAN SQUARE IN THE BALLS/OVARIES.
We are BETTER than that. We are SMARTER than that. And we respect our veterans A HELL OF A LOT MORE than the republicans do.
McCondo's stories, such as the bogus cross in the sand one he made up recently, should be examined and not assumed to be true just because it came from the horses mouth. Call him on it!!
His constant use of "POW" as both an excuse for a bad memory or any mistakes he's every made, and using it to get votes should be ARGUED AGAINST LOUDLY!!
But the jangling keys is something that our veterans will take personally as if we are making fun of them. That is not how democrats feel about our vets.
The better plan is to go with the Monopoly game theme and wear house/hotel game pieces as jewelry or take a head of lettuce with you to McCondo events with a price tag "SALE: $50/hr."

I'm waiting for someone to realize that adults jangling sets of toy keys makes them look even more retarded than they actually are. Can you imagine Joe Sixpack and Sally Housecoat flipping on the TV, waiting to be inspired by the Democrats, and all they get is Nancy Pelosi shaking a set of plastic keys like a toddler about to shit its diaper?
Not to mention that the average American, when told that someone has more than one house, is more likely to think, "Wow, cool," than they are to drag out a baby toy so they can voice their disapproval.
Also, we have fuel to spare for this? Someone is trucking in...toy keys? Really?
The stupidity never ceases to amaze.

Think, also, of all of the petroleum products in the plastic in those keys!

The only time I ever see people taking out their keys and jingling them is at sporting events when they're trying to make noise to confuse the other team. Of course, the other team is always in the stadium/arena when they do it. Now you're going to have a bunch of nitwits jingling their keys at a place where there only ones there is their own team. I say go for it.

Apparently key jangling triggers a PTSD response in McCain - gives him POW flashbacks. This could be seen as using this known weakness in McCain to psychologically unnerve him, and would be seen by other solders, especially POWs, as a strike of the lowest order.

Isn't McCain one of those vets they're supposed to care so much about? Just how is it these idiots KNOW the cross story if fake? Someone do a Tarot card reading or channel the spirit of a dead guard? I know they're too stupid to understand dissing McCain's stay in the Hanoi Hilton will pretty much guarantee they lose but how can they possibly not have even the slightest inkling McCain is a highly respected vet? Even if I don't agree with much of what he does in the senate I am in awe of what he survived while serving his country.
Besides, if I see a bunch of DUmmies shaking a bunch of baby keys (ironically said keys are also my bunnies favorite toy) the first thought that will come to my mind will be how utterly childish and inexperienced their candidate is. Being all show and no substance is the reason they've ended up with an empty suit as a candidate.

Don't forget, those baby keys are made of a petrochemical. That's right, Big Oil at the democrat convention. Every ring of baby keys is another dollar profit for the BFEE, Haliburton, Darth Cheney, and our Glorious Chimperor. Thanks, DUmmies!
