One Nation Under Fear

Posted on 02/22/2008 at 10:31 am by Bob Cesca

This is the new fear mongering spot from GOP.gov and it’s 24-tastic. What the ad doesn’t say is:

[The Protect America Act] expired because George Bush threatened to veto any extensions and House Republicans unanimously voted against any extension. Our blood, to be gushing shortly like a volcanic eruption, will be on their loving, protective hands.

But who gives a shit about the details because we’re all going to die! YAARRRR!

Meanwhile, did you know that you can pre-order my book? It’s due out in September and I’m actually still writing it, but why not plan ahead by going here and reserving a copy. In it, I write lots of words about fear mongering and how the Republicans are cowards.

Chapters include: Glenn Beck’s unfortunate last name; the myth about why we haven’t been attacked since 9/11; the complete story about how I worked at the same radio station as fear monger, crazy person and Watergate burglar G. Gordon Liddy; an epic chapter about fear mongers throughout history; and many more.

    It also doesn’t say that they’re not staging “walkouts” to look stoic in their pressure like the good old days (operative words being “staging” and “look”), now they’re simply doing it for dramatic propaganda commercials.You need to get a cover image up on that mofo, even if it’s only temporary. And for the broke asses like me, I’m almost positive you can preorder, but won’t be charged until it ships. Good luck, that’ll be one hell of a timely release date!

    On the one hand, it looks like a shameless rip-off of 24. On the other, it really just shows what’s going on in their closed little minds. They live in a world where the United States is under constant attack by the Bad Guys. Whoever they are this season. Maybe Russians, maybe Islamo-Fascists, maybe Democrats…doesn’t matter. They hate us for our freedom.

    Okay, I’ll take naked promotion (I was planning to buy it anyway because it comes out right before My Birthday (ah, he doesn’t read this blog, oh well).Did you know Inbno13, that if you pre-order it, you get a 5% discount?Bob, is there any way you can autograph my copy?

    Well I would love to pre-order it, but I fear that if I do, terrists will get my address and credit card info and come and comandeer my apartment. or I fear that I might order it, and when it arrives in my mail box, I’ll cut myself opening the box. Or get a paper cut when I’m turning a page. or…or..Oh All righty then! I done pre-ordered it!

    I’d be honored to sign copies for everyone. We’ll figure out the logistics when we get closer to September.

    Yes, ma’am, I did notice that.:) I think the way it works is that’s only a preliminary price, if it goes up, we still pay the same discounted price. If it goes down (as many books do closer to the release date) we pay the final price. But, for me, it doesn’t really matter, ’cause it’s about supporting one of us. Once it’s released I’ll likely buy a few more copies as I did with Stupid White Men to distribute to my family/friends. I’m sure it’ll make a great holiday present!

    My first comment here. Does anyone think–as I do–that this is all pretty hollow? We’re supposed to believe that every day they can’t listen to phone calls, the threat grows? Are these fiendish terrorist masterminds who are plotting against us so dumb they’re talking about dirty bombs and assassinations on the phone? Or in their emails? Or aren’t they more likely to use some innocuous code like ‘the big game’ or ‘pizza night’? So now we’re not talking about supercomputers analyzing for key words, but human federal employees or contractors listening to stupid chatter between me and my wife about, you guessed it, pizza night.So whether it’s me, or her, or a jihadist, how can this massive listening spree tell us anything?”Pizza night’s Wednesday. You coming?”"You bet. We’re bringing beer–lots of it.”"Gotcha. I’m making the crust. John’s bringing the sauce.”I’m no criminal mastermind, but I’ll bet those who are can get way trickier than “pizza night”
