Barack Obama to Accept Nomination at Bank of America Stadium

Symbolism, you are a harsh mistress. Sure, you can make a candidate look like the savior of all mankind. But you can also make them look like a puppet for corporate America…

President Obama will close out the 2012 Democratic National Convention in September with an acceptance speech at Bank of America stadium in Charlotte, N.C., party sources told the Charlotte Observer.

If you took footage of the President in 2012 delivering a speech at a place called Bank of American Stadium and sent it back in time to the year 1993, the footage could be used for a heavy-handed, on-the-nose political commentary scene in Robocop 3.

The open-air venue, which seats more than 73,000, would significantly expand access to Obama's speech for his supporters and the public and replicate the dramatic setting from four years ago.

Note the fantastic use of the word replicate. Liberals will feign emotion as the candidate they pretend to still be in love with takes the stage and purports to still be a Democrat.

Jon Stewart on Occupy Wall Street vs. The Tea Party

Look, these comparisons between the two major protest movements of the past few years are waaaay off base. The hippies at Occupy Wall Street don't have their shit together nearly as well the Tea Party people. As far as I can tell, they haven't even nailed down any corporate sponsorship yet…
