“MoveOn.org’s vulgar depiction of a violent attack on the Capitol -- a building that symbolizes our democracy -- is beyond the pale of acceptable political discourse. Democrats know Senator Frist’s efforts are intended to restore Senate tradition by granting highly qualified judicial nominees the vote they deserve and have received for the past 214 years. It’s sad that the Democrats and their third party allies would choose to play on Americans’ fears instead of engaging in constructive political debate.”

 

- RNC Communications Director Brian Jones

Moveon.Org Has Long History Of Airing Inflammatory And Inappropriate Ads

FactCheck.Org: “MoveOn.Org Launched A False TV Ad In The Districts Of Several House Members, Claiming Through Images And Words That President Bush Plans To Cut Social Security Benefits Nearly In Half.” (FactCheck.Org, “MoveOn.Org Social Security Ad,” www.factcheck.org/article303.html, 2/1/05)

• FactCheck.Org: “In A Full-Page Newspaper Ad In The New York Times MoveOn.Org Repeated Its Misleading Claim, Saying ‘Privatization Means Cuts Of Up To 46% In Guaranteed Benefits.’” (FactCheck.Org, “MoveOn.Org Social Security Ad,” www.factcheck.org/article303.html, 2/2/05)

“[T]he Liberal Group Moveon.Org Produced A TV Ad Titled ‘Quagmire’ Asserting That Mr. Bush Lacks Plans To End The War. ‘George Bush Got Us Into This Quagmire,’ The Narrator Says As An American Soldier Sinks Deeper Into Quicksand, Rifle Overhead In A Posture That Suggests Surrender.” (Todd J. Gillman, “History Of A ‘Quagmire’” The Dallas Morning News, 9/27/04)

“MoveOn.Org … Is Responsible For The ‘Fire Cheney’ TV Ad That Shows The Statue Of Liberty With A Hood Over Its Head.” (Bill Holland, “Getting Out The Vote,” Billboard, 7/3/04)

If you go to moveon's website they want people to sign up for a 'flyering' campaign

Of course I would never do it, but someone could go there and sign up to flyer the biggest theaters in the land

Which could be sneaky and deceitful in the view of some, but no worse than the lies they're telling about Frist

[Knute]

Harry Reid and his entire band of gypsies, tramps & hangers-on make me violently ill...

[IncPen]

I mean, someone with a name similar to mine might have gone and signed up to flyer 30 or 40 shows at major theaters, but, it wasn't me.

MoveOn.org is pure evil, funded by James Bond super villian George Soros.

[West Coast Conservative]

Don't forget about the disgusting Hitler ads MoveOn did.

[IllumiNaughtyByNature]

Isn't OveOn just the DUmmies with a PAC? :o)

[swampfox98]

I hope the Republicans know that Hillary Clinton is behind every thing that goes on. She is the one who has decided that none of Bush's judges will be nominated. She is constantly under minding every thing Bush does, and it is his own fault. He kept most of the Clinton people to work in his own government, and these people are unworthy of his trust.

Newsweek, Move On, and other vile liberals know that the Republicans are to afraid to do anything about their lies. They know that their high priestess Hillary will protect them, no matter how evil they are.

So sixteen people died because of Newsweek's lies? Hillary doesn't care. I'd like to know how many people in Arkansas gave their lives to hide Bill Clinton's evil. And how many more will die to make Hillary President in 08?

In fairness, MoveOn didn't exactly "do" (produce) the two Hitler ads, but it hosted them on its servers as eligible finalists to be voted on in a "bash Bush ad contest" ... and MoveOn resisted taking the ads OFF its servers for several days after bipartisan protests erupted and even the ADL voiced its outrage.

I saw the ad and think that it is hilarious. It shows just how irrational those who now control the Democrat Party have become. Only childish minds could be swayed by its incredibly silly message.

If this is an example of Democrat political savvy, I say "Bravo," "Encore," and "Bring it on."

[King Prout]

huh?

[Prophet in the wilderness]

Bumper stickers for 2008 :
Hillary Clinton's media arm of Newsweek was responsible for 15 deaths in 2005.

Brit Hume always signs off his hour with a comedy skit from late night shows or something funny someone said. Today's comic relief was this ad, which had them all laughing. At first I was surprised, what with all the complaing about the ad, but I then realized that the best thing to do with democrats is laugh at them and their silly actions and rhetoric. They are really making fools of themselves.

[This Just In]

"In fairness, MoveOn didn't exactly "do" (produce) the two Hitler ads,"

In all fairness, that would be no different than a drug dealer saying, "I didn't make the drugs, I just sell 'em."

There is total disregard for fairness, as well as truth and decency. We must remain vigilent in defending what is right and good for this country, which is to continue exposing MoveOn for what they really are: an anti-America, pro-communist propaganda machine.

[swampfox98]

Hold the bumper sticker! She's not finished yet. Who knows what other evil lurks in the heart of Hitlery! Could be if the the bumper sticker reflects Hillary's evil it would be bigger than the car.

James Bond super villian George Soros

That would have to be Dr. No.

[rodguy911]

That is the bottom line, rats/evil/Soros.
These guys know that if we go nuclear it's all over but the funeral. Once the radical left judges get slowly thrown off the bench and resume ambulance chasing where they belong, we might get back a little democracy. The rats could not stand that. They want a bigger version of Cuba and they want it soon.

[rodguy911]

Great post and right on track.

Only childish minds could be swayed by its incredibly silly message.

You misunderestimate the childishness of many American minds. There's a major political party full of them.
