#1 Holy f'n sh*t...that was hilarious...what a bunch of pretentious retards. Joss Stone? Isn't she a British citizen that can't even vote in the U.S. election?

One major Faux Pas - whoever the guy was wearing our Dress Blue uniform w/the jump wings is pretty f*cked up - U.S. mil cannot lend themselves in uniform for a political ad - even if that guy is retired it is still a messed up message that will get this ad into trouble. Of course, the whoopi goldberg crowd is so stupid it doesn't surprise me that they missed that bit of fact.

#3 Good - I saw a Black Sabbath T-shirt on the fat broad.

Bad - Barry Manilow. No need to look at it after that...

#4 Troubling, very troubling. I see absolutely no humour, only a painful throwback to the 1960's. My "prayer" is that America will reject this kak in November.

#5 The guy wearing the uniform about the middle of that was a US Marine in full dress.

That is illegal.

The reason for this is that the uniform is an official representation of the military and of the person wearing it, their accomplishments, and their unit. Just by itself--that is, the boots, pants, belt, shirt, blouse, and cap--are okay.

Wearing a full and proper uniform for anything other than official business would suggest official endorsement of that event which is why it's illegal for service memebers to attend political rallies in uniform unless officially on duty there, for example, as part of the color guard.

More tone-deafness from 0bamessiah, and gross ignorance of military law customs courtesy and culture by Zero-bama and his acolytes.
