Der Furor Bush plays the Nazi card. By William Saletan and Jacob Weisberg Posted Monday, June 28, 2004, at 4:13 PM PT

Chill, dude

"Kerry's Coalition of the Wild-eyed" was produced for the Bush campaign by Maverick Media. To watch the video on the Bush campaign Web site, click here. For a script, click here.

From: William Saletan To: Jacob Weisberg

Where to begin with this despicable video?

Six months ago, MoveOn.org held a contest to find the best amateur ad against President Bush. The group invited people to make ads and submit them to its Web site. Some idiot spliced images of Bush together with images of Adolf Hitler, evidently trying to make Bush look like a warmonger. His submissions, which arrived with 1,500 others—too many to be screened quickly—were posted on the contest Web site. As soon as MoveOn.org leaders realized what was in the ad, they removed and denounced it.

The Bush campaign, outraged by the mixture of Nazi images with images of an American politician, has decided that the best response to this offense is to repeat it.

The Bush video's opening white-on-black graphic says, "The Faces of John Kerry's Democratic Party. The Coalition of the Wild-eyed." Next comes a parade of angry speakers: Al Gore, Hitler, Howard Dean, Michael Moore, Dick Gephardt, Hitler, Gore, and Kerry.

Bush didn't play the Nazi card. MOVEON.ORG played the Nazi card.

The Bush ad is just a reminder of MOVEON.ORG NAZI AD.

The story says Moveon.org never sponsored the ad, which is a lie.

Moveon.org paid for the webspace that hosted the Hitler ad.

The staypuff marshmallow man was a very nice touch.

So, liberals routinely compare Bush to Hitler, and Bush points this out, so Bush is comparing Kerry to Hitler? Wow, some major-league projection going on in liberal-land.

The DemoncRATs' dilemma is that they made this video comparing Bush to Hitler and now it can be seen that, alongside the likes of Gore + Dean + Kerry, Bush is a sane rational individual and the others appear, well, Hitlerian in their spewed vile and hatred.

Only suggestion on your collage >> exchange one of the Kennedy pics for one perhaps featuring the other whiny senator from Mass.

As Bill might say, it depends upon what the meaning of "realized" is.

So there were too many to screen but not to many to post on their website. I seem to recall that they also bragged about this one being there until the heat was turned way up.
