Hey...guess what....the Hitler images in that video are from an attack ad that moveon.org(look em up genius) paid for to attack President Bush.

Where's your outrage now???

OWNED

Read the thread. MoveOn allowed thousands of submissions for possible commercials. This one was voted down and removed. The Bush camp then brought it back to attack Kerry.
Hey genius...I'm the one that posted the story about the moveon.org competition......yes the ad was eventaulyl removed from the moveon.org site BUT it was posted there for all to see and download....pretty shrewd actually....they post it....there is outrage....the remove it and disavow agreeing with it....but oopsie....it was posted for download and now it's out in the ether traveling to every little leftie extremist.......once it's out you can't pull that stuff back.

Since you seem to be REALLY slow let me say it again....the imagery of Hitler in the Bus ad is NOT....I repeat NOT being used to attack or compare Kerry to Hitler....it IS being used to show the extreme measure that some lefties will go to in their hatred from President Bush.
And in doing so the Dub's people are stating that if you are for Kerry and not the Dub you are one of those extremists? Sounds like total BS to me!
I don't think that is the point at all. I think they were just trying to show how angry and rabid some on the left are and point out that they seem to have nothing to offer other than pessimism and outrage......
How can that not be the point? By showing an Ad that would have never appeared they are stating that those against Bush for President are extremists who would stoop to compare De Furher with the Dub. Furthermore being pessismistic regarding the Dub and our future if he is re-elected doesn't mean that you are on the same level as those who created that Move.On Hitler Ad.

I can assure you that if that Ad was run by Move.On I would ber critical of them and of the Kerry comapign if they didn't condemn Move.On for running it.

Okay, I'm showing up a little late to the party, but let's see if I've got the gist of this: MoveOn.org sponsors a political ad contest. Among the entries is an amateur commercial that compares Bush to Hitler using specific imagery. Long story short, MoveOn.org had the good sense to remove the Hitler ad entry from their site, however now the Bush/Cheney campaign has resurrected it?

Shinerburke, your argument has been dismissed several times yet you still believe you are right. I suggest you take a good look at the quote above and think about it for a long time(maybe 7 minutes or so). Ask yourself this question, why does the Bush campaign feel the need to mudsling and completely assasinate the character of John Kerry. Why is their campaign NOT about the issues, and only about how bad the other guy is? Go look at Bush's website, see if you can find anything about Bush on the frontpage. Oh that's right, you can't, it's only about how BAD Kerry is. It amazes me how you can charge the left with being rapid and fanatic, when your own party is doing the same damn thing only WORSE.

Is MoveOn owned by the U.S. Government?

I hope he puts this on Television since you all think it is so great.

What the hell does it matter who owns moveon.org? That the best you've got?

Here's what this thread boils down to....

Angry Leftie: Bush compares Kerry to Hitler. This is unacceptable!!!!

Me: Errr....sorry the ad is actually one from moveon.org

Angry Leftie: Bush ad has a picture of Hitler in it! I'm outraged

Me: Ummm....you did notice the Hitler images are from a moveon.org ad. You know, one that compared Bush to Hitler. The Bush ad is using it to show the anger and rage that is eating at the Democratic Party.

Angry Leftie: Well....ummm....well....the U.S. Government doesn't own moveon.org

Me: WTF????

Haha, awsome post.

last time I knew Bush was with about 75% of his total ads being negative and directed at kerry while kerry was at 45%

How did you watch the movie and say that bush is comparing hitler to kerry? OBVIOUSLY he's making fun of the insanity of some of the liberals who compare HIM - Bush - to Hitler. He isn't comparing them to Hitler at all; they did to him.

How did you watch the movie and find it acceptable for the President of the USA to use images of a man who killed approximately 6,000,000 Jewish people and many of them were killed by being COOKED ALIVE IN OVENS

Ha! You couldn't be more wrong. I love your twisted logic. Moveon.org(Leftie hit squad) makes an ad comparing Bush to Hitler available on their website and somehow that is cool? Bush's campaign uses imagery from that ad in an ad they make available on their website and clearly indicates the moveon.org ad as the source to demonstrate the tactics the left is resorting to to defeat him and all you come up with is "that ad is a blatant attempt to equate Democrats with Hitler."? Please! your hypocrisy is unbecoming of logical clear thinking individuals.

Oh I guess they'll be considered accomplices to mass murder, however I'm quite sure they'll get off easier than their ringleader. ;)

When democrats persist in using Hitler to compare him to Bush, why not point out what they are doing?

I don't remember you complaining when moveon.org was doing it. If you can find where you did and link to it, than I will owe you an apology.

You don't owe him one:

Republicans should quit their b!tchin' -- they're starting to come off as whiny little girls who stamp around when they don't get their way and then remind you about the time that you did this or that for years afterwards... The responsibility for the video doesn't climb up the heirarchy just 'cause the RNC thinks it does. The individual who produced it should bear the brunt of the ire, not necessarily MoveOn and certainly not the dem candidates who have no direct influence on the former.

Is MoveOn Federally Funded?

Those words are still true today. Thanks for dredging them up Al. :)

Moreover, the Bush/Cheney campaign is coming off like huge hypocrites now. After all the RNC outrage over the MoveOn.org piece -- now they're dredging that crap up? Perhaps they're just outraged at their own outrage? Geeze, who knows what they're thinking anymore...

Kind of odd what merits an apology from you. This little thing does, yet a wisecrack from you that accuses leeboy of hating his dead son doesn't. Go figure.

If Bush was trying to show Leftist comparisons of Him to Hitler, why were all the Democrats used in such a way to equate them with Hitler?
