Ugh.... I hate to type this but www.georgewbush.com Right bellow the pic of the Stepford First Lady is a link to a web video titled "This is not a time for pessimism and rage..."

Not only does it splice clips of Dems and Hitler they toss in Moore and the words Moveon.org, even though Moveon pulled the ad that drew parralles between Bush and Hitler.

3. The latest ad on the Bush campaign website does it.
Backhanded, mind you. Spliced footage in a video montage.

4. What I'd like to know is what evidence do the pukes cite for
their comparison?

In other words, what specifics of the Hitler regime and/or the National Socialist German Workers Party policies do the pukes associate with the Kerry campaign and the supporters thereof?

ALL politicians and their supporters get enthusiastic and passionate. I'm damned fucking sure we can find examples of booshies' people acting "wild-eyed" once or twice. (Can you say Florida recount?) Exuberance, passion, even frenzied fanaticism aren't unique to the left.

It wasn't emotion that made Hitler, well, Hitler. It was actions and policies.

So ante up, pukes. Put your money where your loud, filth-spewing mouths are.

assholes

5. They didn't
They were saying Democrats are "wild eyed" crazies and used those clips as what they considered proof. The Hitler one was made by some liberal for a contest by Moveon.org for the best thirty second anti-Bush* ad. It was very briefly on their web site but pulled almost immediately when the complaints started coming in. A lot of people are allowing themselves to be confused over this Bush* ad. I think it is a stupid ad but it does not claim Kerry is Hitler or Democrats either.

7. They had to lie and say Dems were fascistic before someone accurately
pointed it out about Republicans.

That was their 2000 strategy. Make a list of the worst truths that could be said about Republicans and lie and blame the Democrats of being all those things.
