DUBYA AND ADOLF. This really
is incredible. I wouldn't be surprised if this has been pulled before
you can see it. But the Bush-Cheney campaign has put up an ad on its
website that makes use of that spot comparing George W. Bush to
Hitler that was uploaded to MoveOn.org
some months ago as part of a contest, and that was yanked as soon as
it was discovered.
Hurry! Watch
it while you still
can!
In a blast e-mail titled
"Disgusting," Kerry-campaign manager Mary Beth Cahill
writes:
Yesterday, the Bush-Cheney
campaign, losing any last sense of decency, placed a disgusting ad
called "The Faces of John Kerry's Democratic Party" as the main
feature on its website. Bizarrely, and without explanation, the ad
places Adolf Hitler among those faces.
The Bush-Cheney campaign must
pull this ad off of its website. The use of Adolf Hitler by any
campaign, politician or part is simply wrong.
Cahill is being just a tiny bit
disingenuous, making it sound like the Bush campaign is comparing
Kerry to Hitler. Actually, the Bush campaign is desperately trying to
pretend that the Kerry campaign is comparing Bush to Hitler.
Quite a stretch, given that we're talking about an unsolicited
contest entry for which MoveOn.org apologized many months ago. That's
disgusting, all right.
Here's
how the New York Times covered the story today. But why didn't Adam Nagourney mention the Hitler pix? The liberal media would never soft-pedal the vicious negative campaign tactics favored by the Republicans, would they?

First, why do liberal democrats these days find it perfectly okay to distort the truth, or even speak intentional mistruths? Al Gore lies to your face, both Clinton lie to your face, and John Kerry lies to your face and you still support these people, why?
If you are at all informed, and I assume that you are, then you must know that George Soros likened GWB to Hitler months ago, and so did Al Gore last week by using the term "brown shirts". MoveOn.org did remove the ad likening GWB to Hitler but don't for a second think your reading audience is dumb enough to buy it as a mistake. As soon as "it was discovered" you say? I say as soon as THEY were discovered. George Soros calls GWB Hitler and he bankrolls MoveOn.org who calls GWB Hitler so give me and your readers a break for a change and tell the honest truth. Also, just as an FYI, since you all seem to need one, Florida Democrats posted ADS in a newspaper calling for the assination of Donald Rumsfeld. Lastly, the commerical by GWB and the GOP titled "The Faces of John Kerry's Democratic Party" specifically cites the Democratic Party, not John Kerry.
You know what's really disgusting?
1. John Kerry lied to YOU about throwing his medals for the past 30 years and you ignore it.
2. John Kerry lied to YOU about being Irish to get votes.
3. John Kerry lied to YOU about owning an SUV to get votes.
4. John Kerry lied to YOU about releasing his military records.
You want some real facts?
