Why can’t John McCain’s campaign spell “Barack”? Why has this been sitting on the McCain website’s front page for a million hours? At least they didn’t call him “Osama,” this time. [November Blog]

He’s too old to use spell-check.
[re=19687]graceless[/re]:
Wax tablets and stylii (styluses?) don’t have spell check
Two things
1. It’s easy to say “Barach” when you have to worry ABOUT MoloCH (it’s summer time in Bohemian Grove).
2. The only reason for this post is to discern whether Barack Osama (a KNOWN terrorist) deserves Habeas Corpus in his trial, which will surely follow next Monday’s “The View.”
[re=19687]graceless[/re]: Too old to know what Spell check is.
Perhaps this is an attempt to link Barach with the buch burnings of Hitler, the second antichrist.
“watch the latest televised greenhouse gas emission”
I know McCain isn’t the world’s greatest speaker, but there’s no reason to get obnoxious about it!!!
For a man who once misspelled his own first name in a campaign ad, I think this is a good effort.
He may be trying to get it pronounced with the deep guttural, back-of-the throat sound common in Arabic and Hebrew.
Too much phlegm in the spellchecker?
Jamacane says “Brack” cause he’s on the Straight Talk Express. He writes phonemically, and makes his staff do the same, on pain of death. And Jamacane knows what death is, my friends, and if you challenge him, you’ll know it too.
[re=19689]tonashideska[/re]: Good point. BTW, FYI, both styli, and styluses are correct, although I think stylum should also be accepted. It isn’t.
My mom just got back from Israel and she said the Israelis all love “Baruch” Obama.
Note: “Baruch” and “Barack” both mean “blessed.” Which is fitting for The Anointed One.
McCain thought Vicki Eisman had a nice rach on her.
[re=19699]El Bombastico[/re]: Yeah, that’s what I assumed. The KKKKKHHH.
Note: Baruch means “blessed”, the adjective. Barach means “blessed”, the past tense verb.
Note 2: I am all done being a Hebrew Nazi now.
[re=19709]WadISay[/re]: Heh.
For you:

Ugh, I just got a gross image of McCain “On” Obama.
On my pro-Israel Microsoft Word, Baruch goes free but Barack gets redlined.
Not to defend the error, but any job that gets Paultards out of the basement can’t be too bad.
[re=19711]shortsshortsshorts[/re]: Great. Now I have to get a new computer.
[re=19714]Darehead[/re]: *Baruch goes free, and both Barach and Barack get redlined.
[re=19710]ronaldpagan[/re]: Thanks for the Hebrew lesson too.
[re=19703]ronaldpagan[/re]: Exactly, I was thinking,”Oy gevalt! What does this meshuggah(sp?) McCain have against a good jewish boy like Barach? Doesn’t he like Israel?” Well, Leberman??!
Barack —> Barach —> Baruch —> Brack —> BaROCK —> Baroo? —>
Obama —> “Osama” —> O’Bama —> OBangMe —> Obmamma Slamma —>
It all amounts to the same thing:
The New President of Awesome.
Uma – Oprah
Keanu – Baruch
Barack – Terrorist Attack!
It’s all in the name..
I love that chunky chick holding up the sign: HILLARY (McCain)
When you’ve lost your decency and gone insane, just be a C*nt and vote for McCain! yay!!
I don’t care how nicely you spell his name: he’s still going to eat your babies, and then, THEN you’ll know how hope died as your babies fell into his freakishly extendible mooslim maw. But by then, it will be too late.
[re=19703]ronaldpagan[/re]: Do you think a mole in McCain’s campaign is taking advantage of McCain’s seniorness and computer illiteracy to covertly pimp Barry out to those of the semite persuasion?
It looks like they changed it, do you think they are reading wonkette everday? I can’t figure out what’s supposed to be wrong with Hopey’s human rights views. Well..no..never mind.
[re=19739]heathenish[/re]: WE ARE WATCHING YOU, my friends.
There’s a method to McCain’s madness. Well, not really, but there is both method and madness.
He keeps referring to Hopey as Baruch, because he read on a reliable blog that Hopey’s actually a secret Israeli, indoctrinated at a Yeshiva in Indonesia, which is why he wears that tight little hairy skullcap of his.
When pressed for clarification, McCain said: “Well, Christ, you’ve got the Izrabs and the Arabaelis and Farsis and Hutus and Bantus and Sheenis and Sunnites and Kurds and Turds and Turks. My friends, there is a good reason they call the Middle East “complex.” Thankfully, I have the foreign policty experience, massive weaponry and barely concealed homicidal tendencies to deal with them all. Now let’s get down to buisness [sic].”
John McCain: A Leader Whose Hopefully Changing Slogan You Can Believe In If You’re Green With Envy Over Hillary’s Flameout
Back in the heyday of Trans Am — back when America still manufactured a few cars that people might want to buy — Plymouth (a division of Chrysler for all you youngsters) used to make a car called the Baracuda.
They had an ad in which the speaker had trouble saying the same of the car, e.g. Barackacuda.
The punch line was “If I could say ‘ack,’ I could say ‘Barakacuda.’”
(You had to be there. It was sort of funny — the first 10 or so times you heard it.)
This Senior Citizen Moment has been brought to you by the Committee To Elect John McCain.
Ack!
Ba-ba-ba ba-ba-barack
[re=19748]sanantonerose[/re]: Wow, I just had a really vivid flashback to the Muppet Show…
Here’s some McCain anagrams that I tried to craft into a Vietnam ‘poem’:
Mecca Id Johnny Sin,
Coca Dim Jenny Shin.
Acid Schmo Jenny In
Anemic Disc Johnny…
Many Echoic Djinns
[re=19756]Smoke Filled Roommate[/re]: actually ‘Mecca’ doesn’t work and I knew that.
I’m officially a dork.
You accuse me of everything around here! Who put slippers in the dishwasher? Who threw a cane at the TV? Who fell into the china hutch? Who misspelled somebody’s name?
[re=19744]Neilist[/re]:
Good story. And 70s fake-Canuck sistah-band “Heart” had a song, Barracuda
You lying so low in the weeds
Bet you gonna Am-Bush me
You’d have me down on my knees
Wouldn’t you, Barach-uda?
[re=19761]Darehead[/re]:
How ’bout ‘Dog and Butterfly’?
Well I stumbled upon your secret place
Safe in the trees you had tears on your face
Wrestling with your desires frozen strangers
Stealing your fires. The message hit my mind
Only words that I could find
The horror..
[re=19756]Smoke Filled Roommate[/re]: And I officially want to play internet Scrabble with you.
[re=19768]ronaldpagan[/re]: Yay!
[re=19771]Smoke Filled Roommate[/re]: Oh I’m dead serious. Right now, Yahoo Literati (unless you know a better Scrabble site)?
Sorry to totally thread-jack but we don’t have private messages anymore. Any further scrabble planning can go to my Gawker account (JohnCocaine.)
[re=19743]Canuckledragger[/re]: Very nice. And my first thought was also, “This is gonna make the Jewish bitters warm up to Barry.”
[re=19768]ronaldpagan[/re]: [re=19771]Smoke Filled Roommate[/re]: That sounds naughty.
Big Sale On Truch Nutz!
They’re appealing to all the Dan Quayle fans who can’t spell either.
Because the can’t get Burt Bacharach out of their minds…
What the world needs now is hope, sweet hope
It’s the only thing that there’s just too little of
What the world needs now is hope, sweet hope,
No not just for some but for everyone.
Barach Adonai… Eluhenu, etc.
I think what McCain was trying to say was Barachiel.
To quote some Russian Orthodox site:
Finally, the last of the sacred group of seven supreme angels – last in order, but not in dignity – is Archangel Barachiel, the angel of God’s blessings, as denoted by his name and by his image on icons. He is depicted with a multitude of rose flowers scattered throughout his raiment. Since God’s blessings are varied, so is the service of this archangel quite multifaceted. He is also the supreme leader of all guardian angels, because through him are sent the blessings of a good family life, of seasonable weather and the abundance of the fruits of the earth, of success in trade and all worldly affairs in general, i.e. all the things in which guardian angels provide assistance to people.
LAAAAAAAAADIES & GEEEEEEEEENNNNNTLEMEN!
“LIVE FROM CEASAR’S…It’s da GookKilla versus da HopeGorilla!”
“In this round — wearing the red, white, and blue Depends trunks — the honorable senior Senator from Arizona, Johnny GookKilla McCain!”
(feeble wheezing, coughing, and murmuring arises from the crowd)
And in this corner — sporting the red, white, and blue Keffiyeh — the
honorable freshman Senator from Illinois, Barack The HopeGorilla Obama!
(Wild applause erupts from the crowd, stomping the floor screaming H O P E Y! H O P E Y! H O P E Y! H O P E Y!)
Queue ringside announcer: “Wow Jerry…this is gonna be a good one. These fellas are juiced and ready to fight! Let’s see if we can hear what there saying!”
Queue ring boom mike:
Obama: (pointing an emotion shaking glove at McCain screams): “MCCAIN! YO MAMA SO HAIRY YOU ALMOST DIED OF RUGBURN AT BIRTH!”
McCain: “(clears throat) (wheezes) (coughs) (barely audible) mother?”
DING!
[re=19792]Q2[/re]: Thank you. I love his cool, smooth sounds, but I didn’t know Osama bin Bacharach was a terrorist and a secret Muslim.
Why Johnny can’t spell.
[re=19797]Mahousu[/re]: That’s Hopey all over right there. Shedding roses and all.
[re=19839]AxmxZ[/re]: your hopey is a pussy. My Hopey can quick your Hopey’s ass!
(whilst spreading communication, cooperation, and interaction across the planet)
@Q2: KICK! KICK! KICK! Damn! Damn! Damn my 6th grade edjukation!
[re=19900]Q2[/re]: If Hopey was in charge I would have graduated 8th grade at my local Al Kader’s Qamp & Madrassa!
It’s only because they haven’t made a version of spellcheck that’s powered by steam.
I’m more concerned that they know how to spell ‘concede’.
It’s not being reported because most of the ‘reporters’ can’t spell it either.
Take Contessa Brewer at MSNBC for example. Can there be any one human being more brain dead than George W.? Yep. It’s Contessa Brewer at MSNBC.
She’s now trying to make her daddy proud by putting together an animated newsworthy scenario where high gas prices + a category 5 Hurricane = … but she can’t spell “eschatology”.
And moves on to another breaking news event one more her speed….”Man Stuck in Tree.”
shortsshortsshorts: I knew it!
The Candidate of change?
Excuse me whilst I writhe about in laughter.
By going back on his highly touted promise to accept general election public financing (after nearly two years of speaking to and signing his name to his commitment to the public financing system), he has revealed that rather than being the candidate of change, he is in fact the candidate of business as usual.
Indeed, by going back on his word, he has abundantly revealed that he is in every sense very much the proto-politician: someone who is willing to do or say ANYTHING (even if it means having to lie through his teeth!) to attain and retain power.
Look out, America… if you think that Bill Clinton was / is a big, slick liar, and the presidencies of Richard Nixon and George Bush were a horrible, disastrous nightmare, just wait until you vote into office the slippery, duplicitous, Machiavellian, hubris-ridden, snake oil salesman known as Barack Obama.
