Ok, I read and reread. Am I missing something?
http://news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&u=/nm/20040624/pl_nm/campaign_bush_ads_dc_2The first mention of comparisons of candidates to Hitler is about MOVEON.ORG'S ADS. The article doesn't even mention the new Bush ad as even having footage of Hitler, until much farther down. In fact, it seems to switch topics right in the middle of the article.
I want to post this article on another board saying "Bush ad compares Dems to Hitler," but all it will do is FIRST an FOREMOST remind people that moveon did it first, while completely neglecting the fact that this new Bush ad is doing the same or worse.
Had I written the article, I would have not dismissed that fact. It would have been in the first paragraph. And if Kerry had such an ad on his site, it would hurt his campaign.
Why is it not hurting Bush's campaign? Why is it not even garnering a mention that BUSH is comparing DEMOCRATS to HITLER on his OFFICIAL SITE???
I almost am too scared to post this article elsewhere, since it mentions "kooky", "pessimism", and the blatant lie: "A clip from an anti-Bush ad from the liberal organization MoveOn.org blends images of Adolf Hitler and Bush."
Moveon.org had *submissions for ads during a contest* that blended the images...that is
not "an anti-Bush ad" of the organization, and such an ad was never aired publicly for the organization.
Forget the "wild-eyed", I am worried about Hitler images on Bush's OFFICIAL SITE! Has the world gone mad??
We're being subtly "Gored" with this article!!! It is NOT a benign assessment of the ad. Am I over-reacting?
