TPM:USANext's AARP Gay-Bash Ad Gone
www.talkingpointsmemo.com

Oh, imagine that. USANext has pulled its AARP hates the troops and loves gay marriage ad. Well, needless to say we got plenty o' copies -- not just the ad but the ad as seen on the American Spectator website. I'll try to post in some convenient format later today.

In case you're a journo who's writing about this and can't find the goods anywhere else, drop me a line and we'll be happy to hook you up.

-- Josh Marshall


That was quick, wasn't it?

1. That's alright
Just like cockroaches, these scumbags will pop up their ugly little heads somewhere else. We shined the light on them a bit, so they will just create another sub-group to spout this crap.

2. I still say that AARP is on the hit list - unfortunately AARP represents
people who already took on a 'Hitler' the first one and KICKED HIS ASS!

11. Today's "Mallard Fillmore" was anti-AARP....
And pro-Social Security "reform".....

There are quite a few "Liberal" comic strips. However, these are strips featuring amusing characters & several story lines. And, though the writers appear to have Liberal sympathies, they're not above cracking a joke at the expense of "our" guys.

Apparently, the Mallard has a direct line to the Republican talking points. As well as being TOTALLY unfunny.

12. That is because psychopaths don't know the emotional value of words

so they have a hard time being funny (and human too as we all know). If that comic strip is anther ah republican mole/gerbil in the mainstream media .. then they probably get story ideas from the 'Hitler lovers' in the Republican administration.

5. WTF
What has Social Security got to do with either the military or gay marriage? These are demented individuals. They could not win an office on policy and merrit if they tried, It is all about slander and wedge issues and it is getting quite old!!!

13. The only reason they did that
is because it's what gets people rilled up in their little base. All they care about is "patriotisim" and sex. They are losing the SS battle and need some people to support it. Not even W is talking about it much now. What happened to that? Heh heh. And here he thought he had a "mandate" and would have an easy second term. lol.

8. Oh, don't worry. We'll keep on posting the pic, and we'll keep on
linking the SS pirates to the Shit Floaters.

10. They're depending on the MSM to show it for them....
like they did with the SBVT ads....Why spend money if you don't have to? Now all they have to do is create a little controversy around the ads so that it will get on cable TV...
