Drudge just added the following: [EDITOR'S NOTE: Jack Rosen, president of the American Jewish Congress, says that in the competition, said in an editorial in Monday's WALL STREET JOURNAL: "MoveOn.org informed potential ad makers that 'we're not going to post anything that would be inappropriate for television.' Two of the ads posted on the group's Web site compared Adolf Hitler to George W. Bush. One ad morphed an image of Hitler into President Bush and says that, '1945's war crimes' are '2003's foreign policy.'" Rosen says MoveOn.org is "using the memory of that genocide as a political prop. Their comparison diminishes the reality of what happened, and their actions cheapen the memory of a horrific crime. It also does a terrible disservice to this country at a perilous time, when we need to examine the dangers we face with clarity and purpose." Leadership is "about confronting threats to freedom everywhere. President Bush has shown that leadership in Iraq, and our troops have liberated a people who were oppressed by another murderous dictator. MoveOn.org compares this liberation to the Holocaust. It deploys a picture of Hitler to vilify President Bush. Comparing the commander-in-chief of a democratic nation to the murderous tyrant Hitler is not only historically specious, it is morally outrageous. Comparing an American president, any American president, to Hitler is an outrage. The MoveOn.org ad was inexcusable. Political figures such as Al Gore, who have associated themselves with MoveOn.org, have a special responsibility to condemn these ads; donors to the group such as George Soros have the same responsibility. They owe it not just to the memory of the millions who died in the Holocaust. They owe it also as a simple matter of decency."]

They've utterly lost their minds. And, luckily, it's getting out to the mainstream.

So much for the "we would never put something like that on our web site" excuse, eh?

[The_Victor]

This is fabulous. These Bush haters only hurt their own cause with this stuff. They're not winning the hearts and/or minds of the electorate by comparing Bush to Hitler. They only capitalize on hatred, and in fact become what they accuse others of being.

CHYRON: WHAT WERE WAR CRIMES IN 1945

About the same as what Saddam did to his people and that of his neighbors...

[Conspiracy Guy]

I like this one.

[11th Earl of Mar]

Rove is about to make the election a vote on whether Bush is a Nazi or not.

Middle of the road Americans will not fall for it.

[Pokey78]

I just noticed that. Thanks for posting it!

[Steel Wolf]

But even though they don't support the war, they still support the (jackbooted storm)troopers, right?

I certainly hope that no one questions their patriotism because of this.

Rove is about to make the election a vote on whether Bush is a Nazi or not.

Probably right. Of course, it'll be more subtle than that, but the strategy for defeating Dean (or any Democrat, for that matter) will be to keep him spun up, so that Bush can bash him down simply by going around "looking presidential."

[Pikamax]

I could point out that the socialists themes that Hitler used to run for power is closer to what the Demos have been touting in their campaigns than anything Bush has said or done.

[Lazamataz]

The ADL -- an extremist leftist group themselves -- was sharply critical of the first ad.

I'm becoming convinced the Republicans have moles imbedded over there in Moveon.org.

[Trueblackman]

Funny how Moveon .org can label Bush Hitler, but was it not this same group that wanted us to forgive the transgressions of Bill Clinton, the same Bill Clinton that stood by as nation full of people were nearly wiped off the earth. Now who is really the Hitler?

[Captain Kirk]

Ah....reminds me of all those Hitler ads (with Clinton superimposed) in the 1990s that were so popular on FR. We hardly have a leg to stand on when they do the same thing, do we?

[yoe]

Is this a Hate Crime?

[jraven]

LET'S LOOK IN THE MIRROR: How can ANYONE on this site be outraged over the Democrats' contemptible suggestion that any Republican is like or in any way similar to a Nazi -- when we have had posts (including one a day or two ago) comparing the Democrats to Nazis? Ann Coulter's good book dealt with this a year ago but what happens is that when we take them to task on it we do the SAME THING. Unless both sides stop acting like mindless school kids hurling the worst names they can think of it is going to continue -- and BOTH SIDES look like hypocrites for getting all upset when they others indulge in the same bratty behavior (just like kids) that other side is doing. Welcome to politics in the 21st century. This is how it operates...so now it's time for our side to do a commercial comparing a Demcrat to Hitler, Stalin, etc. or Sadaam Hussein. THE LOSER? Ideas. Both parties are into slash and burn and ideas are lost in the process.
