Is this really what so many people are getting their panties in a bunch over?

[Drunken Irishman]

Really, what the hell is so wrong with it? When I read about it, from the view of DUers, I expected towering columns, something fitting for Zeus. This? Looks like the side of a house you'd see in Virginia.

Yeesh.

1. It looks like something Pope Ben/Cardinal Rat would use. Sorry.

He doesn't need a tarted up set.

[GreenPartyVoter]

13. The set is fine. It's the part where they

wire him up and fly him out over the crowd a la Jon Bon Jovi and the Slippery When Wet tour that seems a bit over the top. :P

[Captain Hilts]

14. I saw Mick Jagger put in a cherry picker and swung out over the cheap seats!

[GreenPartyVoter]

15. Somebody actually threw a beer bottle at Bon Jovi when he was "flying" . What

an idiot, eh? LOL

Never had the chance to see the Stones, though. :(

[GrizzlyMan]

19. I hear he is going to shoot lasers out of his eyes

At a giant McCain paper mache' head that will explode in pyrotechnics.

[senseandsensibility]

20. LOL

Cool. That's one way to get the low information voters.

[FrenchieCat]

25. I'd prefer Obama's

to Bush's.....

[liberal renegade]

2. Or 1600 Pennsylvania Ave.

[liberal renegade]

3. double post

[asjr]

4. It reminds me of an old 1940s movie

set where gorgeous girls in high heels and chandeliers on their heads walk graciously down those steps. And "Isn't she Lovely" played by an orchestra is in the background.

5. Fox rings the bell

and look who chases their tail.

It happens over and over and over. I don't know why they won't stop or why anybody listens to them when they do it.

[RNdaSilva]

22. Yep...

[TlalocW]

6. Those pillars look to be about 18 feet high

Good thing they didn't screw up the measurements in the plans, or they could have been 18 inches high, and Obama would have to say something like, "In ancient times, hundreds of years before the dawn of history, an ancient race of people... the Druids. No one knows who they were or what they were doing..."

[Lucinda]

10. lol...I do love that movie...

[Shoelace]

7. Stairway to the Stars

[CreekDog]

it looks like a face

:shrug:

[erinlough]

8. Here is a public school in Alabama

It did look like a greek temple, or some kind of temple. This is much ado about nothing. Simply not important, it's a stage folks!

[Bobbie Jo]

9. Lincoln. Memorial.

MLK speech anniversary. Nuff said.

[IamyourTVandIownyou]

12. Google "Lincoln Memorial" Images

Hi Sean Hannity!

[amandabeech]

16. I hope that's not where he's going with this.

He'll look like he's playing Dan Quayle to Lloyd Bentson in the '84 VP debate.

You, know, "I knew Jack Kennedy. I was a freind of Jack Kennedy. And you are no Jack Kennedy."

He'd be better off if he came out in a Toga.

[Thrill]

11. Fuck Fox. I want to see them have a fit. When he's lifted to the podium

[BlooInBloo]

17. It's not uncommon for DUers to believe any stupid shit you say to them.

[pansypoo53219]

18. looks like the old politically incorrect to me.

subliminal?

[Duke Newcombe]

21. Let me fix this for you...

I think you meant to opine:
"Is this really what the M$M are instructing us to get our panties in a bunch over?"

Much better now. :(

[TexasObserver]

23. Karl Rove farts. Sean Hannity and Bill O'Reilly inhale it. Stories like this follow.

It's a GOP trash attempt.

[Thrill]

24. More fake outrage

[truthisfreedom]

26. It's a little bit gay, but America is ready for gay.

I'm surrounded by gaybors.

[MagickMuffin]

27. Funny should brought up Virginia

Conservatives are mocking the stage as a “temple of Obama.” Ed Morrissey writes, “That this scales heights of presumptuousness can hardly be refuted.” One anonymous McCain adviser quipped, “Is this from the Onion?” No, but it may be inspired by the stage at the 2008 Virginia Republican Convention:




Check out the video of the event.

28. I have but one regret...

just now saw the setup on MSNBC. There's a giant Bronco above the scoreboard. Being a Chargers' fan might we drape it with a banner of sorts. Just jokin' ... maybe.

It will be spectacular tonight.

[greguganus]

29. At least their mascot wasn't a Puma!! n/t

[Scurrilous]

30. I think it's a Chicago thing.
