He just happened to land at the right place at the right moment-- like Dr. Oz in Pennsylvania.
Of course, the 'wizard' in the film was a man with a good heart, in the end---
Dr. Oz is worse than that, he is an outright fascist and nazi-wannabe.
none-the-less, I root for him to ultimately win the GQP PA Senate primary. He is the best representative of what their party has become.
The Fetterman campaign, and national DNC senate campaign should take advantage of his unusual and unlikely name...
and run some negative ads with 'The Wizard of Oz' tie-in, in my humble opinion...
I envision one advertisement, with 'Toto' pulling back the curtain on the 'false wizard', and exposing a list of extremist-right political positions which he has taken, which the vast majority of the citizens of Pennsylvania oppose...
Others more clever than I may come up with something better, and that would be fine.
Republican extremist candidates are giving us a gift in this difficult year, and we should take the goddamn gloves off and take advantage of all such things. "They hate us for telling the truth about them".
Inflation be damned!! It is their only possible defense against what monsters they have become!
We should be able to destroy them, with THEIR OWN WORDS, in this cycle...

Ideas, anyone ??

(6,853 posts)But not recommended. The Wizard of Oz is a beloved movie and literary character, not an evil one. Why label Doctor Oz with a favorable image already implanted in peoples minds just because he has the same name?
It sounds funny on the surface and well-intentioned, but a DNC that spends money to label Doctor Oz as the Wizard of Oz isnt helping Fetterman. That would be spending money to create a softer and likable image of the wretched, vile Dr. Fucking Oz, and a terrible campaign move.
Keep brainstorming , youre on the right track.👏
IMHO. 😜

What is there to see is not favorable or likable in the least.

Never mind that the audience who loved that movie, myself included, is probably quickly becoming a minority of voters due to age.
