DNC Filling Panther's Stadium... the hype and what it means... your thoughts???
9/4/12 | ME

Posted on 09/04/2012 6:45:15 AM PDT by dps.inspect

Just a vanity here... but the issue of the DNC filling the Panther's Stadium Thursday night has been rattling around my brain for a couple of days... like, what's the big whoop? It occurs to me that the DNC must present an image of the known universe being in support of Obama. But... Why? is it to stroke his image? to quell the doubts of those who voted for him but didn't get their new kitchen? to give a lolly pop to the dismayed? Probably just about anything you can come up with would be a legitimate answer to that question. I'm thinking, its all about validation for Obama supporters... wow, so many what-if's... the biggest being, what if they can't fill the stadium. Hate to be in their shoes... Your thoughts?

Beck was talking about this just now. Said that there is one thing that the Democraps are good at.....and that’s “image”. He said to watch the media showing and interviewing the most attractive people they can find on the street.

When they were making game scenes for that film “Any Given Sunday” they would have carboard cutouts and tie balloons to the seats for a background ‘crowd’. Some us extras were used for closer up shots, most of them were left on the editing floor.

They did have an event where they got a lot of people to show up, enough to fill up a corner of the stadium by giving away a car and other prizes.

The filling of the Bank of America stadium is being done for imagery sake. Much like the sand castle monument to the Emperor.

The use of a football stadium projects one of popular support. Isn't attendance of a sporting event a personal decision.

The use of a football stadium encourages over the top enthusiasm for “your” team even if it is playing an “away” game.

Use of a football stadium effectively traps all the attendees inside until the “show” is over.

Use of a football stadium allows your high end supporters a way of attending without having to associated with the common rabble sitting in the “nosebleed” seats.

Use of a football stadium allows the event's “ring masters” to totally control the performances of every act.

Me, I love attending professional football games - the female cheerleaders are GREAT!

“Image” is easy when you completely own the MSM and schools.

Panthers Stadium??? The official name on the Marquee says “Bank of America Stadium”. The Panthers don’t need to bus people in to fill it.

Looked at google maps. Directories for Charlotte. Can’t seem to locate this “Panther” stadium you are talking about.

Are you talking about Bank of America stadium perhaps?

Calling BofA Stadium Panthers Stadium is conceding your point to the Dems before you make it. Don’t use Liberal Euphemisms - choice does not equal abortion. Hate Crime is not suddenly more horrific due to the motivation behind it. And BofA Stadium does not suddenly become Panthers Stadium just because a bunch of liberals are filling it.

The Pittsburgh Steelers play football at Heinz Field, the Pirates play at PNC Park and the Carolina Panthers play at Bank of America Stadium.

The demonRATS are running away from the name of the stadium, Bank of America Stadium, and are calling it Panther Stadium and the media, including FNC is going along with the ruse.

That should be quite a challenge.

There is no “Panthers Stadium.” It is named “Bank of America Stadium.” The Democrats are trying to rename it during their convention because they don’t want to tie Obama to Bank of America.

We need to be careful not to adopt DemSpeech.

Obama will fill the stadium. The Dems have just created a phony standard that signifies nothing. They will trumpet it as a major achievement and point to Obama’s popularity even though it is astroturfed, both the stadium and the crowd.

It will take a lot of free beer and cash to fill that stadium. Both will happen.

According to Wikipedia, "The stadium will be referred to as "Panther Stadium" during the 2012 Democratic National Convention."

I don't think that this Democrat Party instruction to the media was supposed to be published, just obeyed.
