Obama Campaign Theatrics

--Producer Phil writes

A Wall Street Journal writer, James Taranto , has uncovered a hilarious and puzzling coincidence at 5 different Sen. Obama campaign speeches over the last few months, including the recent speech in Seattle.

Dori and listeners have found one other Sen. Obama incident posted on YouTube where a person near the stage faints. Sen. Obama responds to each incident with the same routine and phrases.

Is it phoney, orchestrated, manufactured campaign theatrics or is it merely physiological coincidence? You be the judge.

    Alwary A Woman In The Same Section
    I find it interesting that it is always a woman sitting in the exact same upfront middle vip section close to the stage. And that he always says the excat same thing.

    There you go again
    Monson, What happened to the "centrist" Dori of yesteryear? TWO HOURS devoted to this? What a waste of airtime. Must be a slow news day. I thought you were above this. I obviously thought wrong. What about the shootings in Illinois? What about McCain "FlipFlopping" on torture? Now THERE'S an important story. Oh, that's right, he has an (R) after his name and is one of Bush's Buddies. Can't critisize. You can do better than what you did today. "We're going to stay on top of this". Don't bother.

    Dori your comments on Obama are Laughable, Good job.
    Dori good topic for fast ratings and I find a small smither of truth and humor in that Obama has set up his faith healing show. How outrageous are your claims, LOL, good for ratings though. I’m a conservative white male in my early 50’s. What I find great about Obama is his ability to make us believe in ourselves. He’s believable because what we are fighting for is believable, true and right (in my own opinion). If you want to find a phony just look for the nearest republican, hah. Well any elected one THAT IS. They lie. They cheat, they steal, they are hypocrites, they spend our money like Armageddon is tomorrow (with no end in sight) all in the name of Moral Conservatism, now that is a freak side show. Snake Oil ring a bell. If Obama turns out to be just another story teller, he will have effectively crushed another generation of hope. Shame on him and shame on us. I the proof is in the pudding. Soon enough we will know if he is fact or fiction. As far as the fainting, I think Barack is a victim of his own success and has fallen victim to his tried and true campaign speeches. Once you practice your messages they roll off the lips easily. My father taught me hard work will take you a long way and get you through the tough times. We’ll he’s gone and I’m 50 plus now, what I’ve learned is if you want to go somewhere in life be a good story teller. A good line of BS can take you a lot father than a hard work. My evidence most elected politicians and the many folks I’ve come across at Boeing in 30 years. Our goal is to achieve a high degree of mediocrity. Our hopes and dreams and values inspire us, Obama is just the glass, the vessel that carries our message. Thanks for your show Dori, entertaining and off the wall sometimes. That proves my point about a good line of BS will take you places doesn’t itJ

    Good Show
    Seeing this 5 times makes me question what Oboma is doing! I find it funny how many posters would rather attack you for bringing it up rather then talk about it intelligently. I guess that's why they follow a candidate blindly when words like Hope and Change are used. He kind of like Kennedy without substance.

    2 day's "show"
    So Ammodog, what's the alternative to Senator Obama? Clinton? Yeah right. McCain? You've GOT to be kidding me. Here's a guy who has staunchly been against torture since he knows first hand about it. YET he votes for it. Can you say "FlipFlop"?

    You need Jesus Dori (fowl play on Obama)
    Most days I just listen and shake my head at some of the crap Dori says. This time I have to say something. I can’t believe you people on the right. You will stoop to the lowest levels of attack and try to make a case out of bull crap to win people to your failed hard right wing ideologies. Just because three people fell out or got sick you made that out to be some kind of setup. Did you mention that Obama has spoke at many many other events where there is no one who passed out at least that he could see and respond to as any decent person would. Did you know that when some people stand to long or have not had water or food they pass out in and around excitement or large groups of people? (ie) Concerts etc. That is a common thing. You blow it up to be something else. Also some of you right wingers are using the word CULT now. How low can you go? (I did not hear you say it yet) But I would not put it pass you to perhaps and probab ly use it soon enough. Anyway you on the right are now using the term CULT a lot lately on TV on the radio etc in your commentary and opinion segments. Is this yet another attempt to demonize a man who has served his country as a US Sen and has done some good things in the State he worked for? regardless of what ideas we might not agree with him on. I certinly have a few. But so what is this right? I think not... Or is there something deeper inside you that hates that this guy might someday be yours and my president? Hmmmm Makes you wonder. I have never herd the term Cult being used for any other man running for office. Think about it. This is not a normal attack, It is something bigger I thik. You are indeed a sad bunch and this is why your party will lose. People are sick of this hate on the sly thing you people do. Dori says he is not a republican’s well I say if it walks like a duck it is a duck... You all need Jesus for real!!! I think it is so wrong for you to say some of the way out things you say just because you want your man to win. And I can’t believe you actually think that G. Bush is not a liar with one of the most if not the most corrupt administrations ever in this country. Proven by most of his staff over the years being fired to cover what he is responsible for, quitting, or going to court or jail. His VP is worst then he is sending our men to die for his investments and oil. I served in the military 13 years so I have the right to say what I believe to be true. You Dori like most right wingers making the most noise have never stood a day of duty having to duck bullets. I often wonder where do you get off being so self righteous about sending good men to die in this or any war at all without having put your life on the line for this great land of ours. Like I said you need Jesus. I will pray for Dori but I will not I listen to Dori’s one sided blown out of proportion crap show anymore I can't stand fakes...Check your heart Dori.. Don’t bother replying if you do that at all because you can take what I wrote here or don’t…Your show along with Rush Lins show who I dumped along time back is perm off my radio.. Signed, Mr. really Sick of Dori’s crap…

    Dori and his neo-cons are finished!
    Dori Munson is looking around him seeing the great Neo-con era coming to a crashing halt and no doubt he and his ilk will go down firing. Munson, you're becoming completely irrelevant. Time to move on, move out!

    No Coincedence
    The folks here who try to defend Obama with passion against the parody Dori Monson displayed with the funny audio from the different locations have got to lighten up. I went to a comedy act at a bar one night and actually stayed for his second act, which was exactly the same. Obama better mix it up a bit better than that in the future. This will catch up to him eventually. This is obviously left for public opinion, and I am convinced that this is a stage act. My question...is it the same woman at every speech? If not, then how does he "bribe" them into faking a spell? And if they are scorned in the future By Obama, will they sing like a bird on a public forum and rat Obama out? This is great stuff. Can't wait for more audio from the other locations!

    Lost Me
    Wow Dori, you've lost me as a listener with this nonsense. For ten years I worked behind the scenes as an audio tech at both concerts and speaking events. When there were big crowds there was always at least one person who either got sick or fainted. Especially if the crowds had been waiting a long time and were in the front. This is normal. This shows how biased and far reaching you are. You're trying to find ANYTHING you can to taint this man, I've heard you on the radio call him "Osama" more than once. That's sad you spent six hours of your time away from your "girls" to put together this nonsense. I love how, in an attempt to make yourself credible you said, "I've watched the GREAT BONO's concert and have never seen anyone faint." Oh my gosh...like you've had a camera at every angle to see every person in the audience. You're hilarious, and sad.
