Liberal group fights war policy in full-page ads (Moveon.org)

Plain Dealer Bureau

MoveOn.org, an Internet- centered operation that claims 1.6 million members, started with a full-page ad in the New York Times last week. Today, the same ad - headlined "Three Lies about Iraq" - appears in The Plain Dealer and the Charleston Gazette in West Virginia.

...snip...........

The ad, which cost $35,128 to run in The Plain Dealer, pictures Bush, Vice President Dick Cheney and Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld. It says that the president initially connected Saddam Hussein to the Sept. 11 attacks and that Cheney claimed Iraq possessed reconstituted nuclear weapons.

Rumsfeld, the ad says, maintained the United States knew the approximate location of Iraq's weapons of mass destruction. "These deceptions," the text says, referring to those statements, "all have a price and we are paying it."

MoveOn said Ohio and West Virginia were chosen for the full-page ad because they are regarded as swing states in the upcoming presidential election.

1. I am very proud to be a member of MoveOn. I joined in the very
early stages, and have watched them progess into a lean, mean, fascist fighting machine. I love participating in their political actions, and like the fact they are so good at organizing them. I also donate to them regularly, and can see the results of my donations in things like these full-page ads. Take the time won't you, and sign up at:

Thanks,
Flying Pig

2. Awesome!
I don't think it will take Ohio or WV too long to swing back.
