al Qaeda Documentary? Who knows? But it’s not accidental. In fact, Alex Castellanos is reportedly now working for the McCain campaign. Who is Alex Castellanos?
There is speculation in the blogosphere that Alex Castellanos is behind this video. Who? This guy:
The Republican media consultant Alex Castellanos has been called the father of the modern political attack ad — an appellation he might not offer up himself, though we suspect he’s kinda proud of it. Although Castellanos has served on the GOP media team in every general election since 1988, his most infamous spot ran in the 1990 North Carolina Senate race between Jesse Helms and Harvey Gantt, the former mayor of Charlotte, who also happened to be an African-American. The commercial was called “Hands,” and it showed a white guy sitting at a table, the camera trained on his mitts as he crumpled up a job-rejection notice. “You needed that job and you were the best qualified,” intoned the voice-over. “But they gave it to a minority because of a racial quota.” Ugly? Sure. But it won reelection for Helms. In this year’s Republican race, Castellanos worked on Mitt Romney’s primary bid, but today he sits on what’s known as the McCain Ad Council, a group of A-list Republican admen serving as outside media advisers to the GOP standard-bearer.
Is he the guy behind those “subliminal crosses” on the Huckabee videos? (just adding to the moonbattery...)
Modern day attack ads = nailing Democrats with the truth, since nothing hurts them more.
Exactly. Just the facts. It always devastates Democrats.
I know what baal is. What’s “qdc”?
Wow is right. Just got through watching the video (on the johnmccain.com site).
I always knew that BHO had changed positions on a host of issues but wow, he is even worse than I thought.
He is all over the map on Iraq. He has so many stances on what he would do in Iraq that I had a hard time trying to figure out where he stood on anything.
Hopefully the RNC runs these clips this fall.
Notice the name Ba’al is also spelled out?
I always knew that BHO had changed positions on a host of issues but wow, he is even worse than I thought.
And yet the nutjobs are seeing references to al qaeda, cemetary, baal, etc. in the title as the letters disappear one by one. Makes it easier, I guess, to ignore the substance of the actual intended message.
Anyway, I think the last part of the subliminal message is something about Mitt Romney. : )
Yeah that was the first thing I noticed. I guess ‘aq’ is al-qaeda.
I believe it's one of those Islamic shopping channels.
it's probably a code of identification for the name of the video in their files...

The moonbats are examining it one video frame at a time. Below is another frame that came probably after the frame posted above. So I don't believe it's a code for file names.
What they are suggesting is that the words in the title were carefully chosen, then made to drop away in a certain order so that that the eye sees (very quickly) the letter sequences in the frames exhibited. Then the mind fills in the missing letters and "sees" al qaeda or cemetery or Baal. So, that would be a form of subliminal message.
They believe it is a certainty that the Republicans have purposely done this to implant the idea in the heads of American voters that Obama is linked to al qaeda, or that electing him will put all of us in the cemetery, or that someone should put him in the cemetery, or that he is demonic, or...............
lol
That's right! I had forgotten all about that. Thanks for jogging my memory. I like the way you put it, "the Democrats recognized themselves. Priceless.
"You have just 21 minutes left to order this lovely burka that Suhayla is wearing. This one is in basic black with an immaculately cut eye-hole. And you won't need to worry about being suddenly beaten to death in the marketplace, because this one-size-fits-all treasure is extra, extra long. Unless you decide to stand on your head, your ankles will never be seen."
Wow is right!!! Wow that 50% of America is buying this guys garbage!!
What a snake Obama is!!! I hope McCain starts to nail his butt to the wall on this stuff!!!!!!!!!
Do the Republicans still own a hammer?
“Do the Republicans still own a hammer?”

I’d call the ad itself a hammer - a sledge hammer.
and there’s the other one with, sounds like, Laura I. in voice over - etc
Maybe they have more than one hammer
