Given what we know about the facts of this story, can anyone doubt that AP has deliberately slanted this story to make it seem like the Republicans are comparing Democrats to Hitler?
I shouldn't be surprised, but I am.
The AP is resorting to their highly biased style. In other words, it is okay for the democrat groups to make an allusion to Hitler, but if the Republicans call them on it, that is wrong.
BTW: 'Spotted Al' Gore does a really good impersonaltion of Hitler, he really has the voice tones down good.
They say it was just an "entry," but didn't the Bushitler video get a high initial ranking from MoveOn.org and become one of the finalists (or something like that)? If the AP actually admits that MoveOn.org was behind this ad until Republicans criticized it, that gives Bush more credibility (than if MoveOn stopped the ad on its own).
If you don't want to be getting in a knife fight, don't be dissing the the guy with the machete. Especially when he is also packing an M-1911 Colt .45 in his holster.
Also heard it on AP network news on radio very early this morning. No mention of MoveOn, just that Bush is comparing Kerry to Hitler. Their selectivity in the use of information was obvious to the point of embarrassment (assuming, of course that these folks can be embarrased ).
Absoutely amazing...
Moveon.org uses Hitler to help out John Fraud Kerry and the media says nothing...
The Bush campaign uses a clip of the Moveon ad to show the character of the Demoncrat party faithfuls and all of a sudden now it needs to be removed from the airwaves.

I think the RNC video ad makes the point. The Democrats offer nothing but rage and shouting with little coherent policy behind that and absolutely no real alternative to Bush other than that they are liberal Democrats and the president is not.
Verdict: Bush wins in November.
I don't know if others did, but I called Ms. Kerr and spoke with her, telling her her story was disingenuous. These reporters need to be politely confronted regularly.
Vice President Cheney hasn't left the f-word up permanently on his web site. Does that mean the Democrats have no right to mention it?
Democrats have regularly been calling Republicans Nazis and Fascists for the past 50 years. They just don't like anyone calling attention to it. It works better if it is unexamined.
That's one reason why they really, really hate Ann Coulter for calling their bluff on Senator McCarthy. It seems to me that it's been about a year now since they pulled the McCarthyite card, which they have been regularly using to smear Republicans for the past 50 years.
That ad is awesome !
At least they added some new text to sort of clarify, but the ad should've stuck to the "faces of pessimism" like Gore and Dean and at least made it clear where the MoveOn clips start/stop. This issue is now officially FUBAR.
Trying to make it look like it wasn't THEM why really used the Dolf
There is definately a unified effort (conspiracy?) on the left to do as much damage to Bush in this election year.
I just got back from a Barnes & Noble book store in Little Falls, NJ (the one on Rt. 46 for all you Freepers unfortunate as me to live in NJ) and to say the least, I am pissed!!!
As soon as you walk in the front door, there is a shrine to Bill and Hillary Clinton with their books and pictures everywhere on the two main tables. When you walk back to the next row there are more tables with literally nothing but Bush bashing books everywhere: "Why I hage George W. Bush", "Five Lies Bush Told to Go to War in Iraq", "Worse than Watergate", "50 Things We Can Do To Take Back America (Moveon.org)", and a slew of others that I can't recall. I counted 15 different titles on each table and they were all anti-Bush, including a few by that hog, Michael Moore.
What was a little funny was that all these books were marked 30% off (including Bill's).
My wife and I were looking for a copy of O'Reilly's newest book, but they didn't have any of his books in the store!!!
My wife, who is conservative, but is a bit more moderate than I, was stunned. I explained to her that this is indeed a full frontal assault on our President by the left (who are the enemies of America and the American way of life).
My understanding of the McCain/Feingold Campaign Finance bill is that it will allow Michael Moore to advertise his movie through Ads that directly attack President Bush during the 60 days before an election. With the exemption provided for Mr. Soros so that he can spend unlimited amounts the real purpose of Campaign Finance Reform is obvious. The Democrat’s anti-American comrades should be free to flood the Country with their propaganda while any criticism of corrupt Democrats should be verboten.
