All well and good, except if you're someone like my mom, who is not interested in politics, and knows nothing about MoveOn.org. All she's going to see is the ad itself. Then, she'll read the Cleveland Plain Dealer's version of how horrible it is that Bush used images of Hitler in his ad, and decide that yes, it was horrible that he did that, and go dutifully vote for John Kerry.
Most people are not as politically aware as Freepers, and are easily swayed by the MSM. And, they vote.
My own father also falls into that category. My "dumberest" comment was directed at the Kerry campaign people who are compaining about an image generated by their own side.Simple ignorance is better than willful ignorance although both are used effectively by the likes of Michael Moore.
Sounds like we have the same Mother. Mine's almost 84 years old and she's never going to change.
Your mom sounds like my mom and my sister *LOL*
Yep. The way the images were interlaced with the frenzied democrats, one could get the idea that it was President Bush's campaign that was making the Nazi comparisons instead of showing what the left was doing. We here know immediately what is going on, but there are a lot of others who don't keep up with politics and will think poorly of the Bush administration when the media and Kerry's campaign lies to them about it. (BTW, I guess I could have just said Kerry's campaign since the media is a part...)
The Bush campaign should have gone out of their way to make it known that these were images from ads put out by democrat faithful, and were used to refer to President Bush.
