Honestly, I don’t see it. The “mocking” of Chuck Norris has made him more of a folk hero than a tarnished has-been. People are sophisticated enough to understand the difference between joking and savaging.

Your typical partisan is never going to move because one of the other guy’s followers puts up a mocking website.

Your average “swing” vote is as likely to laugh at any of them because they typically find the whole process laugh worthy.

Hey Mike, I agree with you that this site isn’t likely to switch a vote. But, how about the collective effect of millions of people seeing hundreds of mocking videos/websites/blog posts? Which then feed into a loop that involves the Daily Show/Colbert Report, the network late-night shows, the gossip sites, political blogs, political reporters…

Paula -

If nothing else, it shows that a lot of people on the Internet have way too much time on their hands (myself included).

But the likelihood that any of this is enough to have even a slight impact on the election is zilch.

Any person basing their vote on a “Little Known Fact” or Palin being a new segway should probably have their right to vote rescinded and be sterilized.

Sarah Palin, the face that launched a thousand memes…

Or Sarah Palin iz in yr internet tubes, Sen. Stevens…

What I find hilarious is that one of the best memes about her, the Twitter meme was started by a Republican strategist, Michael Turk. With friends like this…will McCain-Palin win in November?

Or are the memes just amusing to the few of us inside the Beltway on the internets who even know what a meme is?
