WAR AGAINST ROCK THE VOTE
MTV’s Rock the Vote & John Kerry Dodge the Facts about the Draft

  
LOS ANGELES, CA – California College Republicans Chairman Michael P. Davidson issued the following statement on the use of the draft by MTV’s Rock the Vote and the KerryCampaign as a scare tactic this election year:

"MTV and the Kerry campaign's use of the draft to scare young voters into voting is pathetic and disgusting.

"While our servicemen are fighting for our country and the freedom of millions, military service should not be used as an instrument of fear.  Military service is one of the most honorable deeds and any suggestion otherwise is grossly insulting.

"In this campaign, there is only one person that has entertained the notion of a draft – and that is John Kerry.

"Sadly, MTV's and John Kerry's desperation have compelled them to stoop to the lowest of levels.

"The next American generation, and our country’s bravest young men and women in uniform deserve better."

Last week, the House of Representatives voted against a Democrat-sponsored bill to reinstate the draft by a margin of 402 to 2, and both President Bush and Defense Secretary Rumsfeld are on record saying that a draft is unnecessary.

And yet MTV’s Rock the Vote (www.rockthevote.com) posted a fake draft induction card signed by Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld that says 'this could be you.'  At the same time, John Kerry continues to use the draft as an issue in his campaign, saying that there is 'great potential' one will be reinstated if President Bush is reelected.  Clearly, Rock the Vote has a bias toward John Kerry, which violates their non-partisan and non-profit status.

A protest is scheduled outside the MTV offices in Santa Monica from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Friday, October 22.

Thanks Ron,

MTV used to about music, talent, fun, and entertainment.

Now it is nothing but "reality TV" shows that peep into the souls of dysfunctional humans, sex orgies, gangsta violence and rape, drugs, and the exploitation of underage girls.

Now we can add Gobellesque propaganda and Soviet style lies and misinformation.

Where have you gone Martha Quinn?

My suspicion is that it is looking increasingly like a draft may become necessary, and the dims are positioning themselves to blame it all on the Republicans.

Good. There's one with several "stars" including Leonardo DiCaprio, Justin Timberlake, Samuel L Jackson and others I can't identify (too old, I guess).

Sam Jackson's piece is talking about the draft! I just make a transcript of the ad: "If you care about the environment (DiCaprio)" "The cost of health care (?a)" "if you care about being heard (?b)" "if you care about the cost of education (Timberlake)" "If you care whether there's a military draft (Jackson)" " Politicians are passing laws (Timberlake)" "that effect the air we breath, the water we drink (DiCaprio)" "who fights the war in Iraq (Jackson)" "how much you pay for your college education (Timberlake)" "Who makes the sacrifice (Jackson)" "This election is going to be this (hold fingers apart) close (Ricky Martin?)" "22 million single women didn't vote in the last presidential election. Hmm! 22 million single women(?b)" "(SPANISH DIALOG - Martin)" "Our environment (DiCaprio)" "your future (Martin)" "censorship (?c)" "A NEW military draft (Jackson)" "the many issues that will be decided this election (Timberlake)" "if you're tripping about health care (?a)" "don't keep your opinions to yourself (DiCaprio)" "show you care. VOTE! (Jackson)" "Vote! (Timberlake)" "I talk to you (?b)" "The most important thing I can do (DiCaprio)" "Is the most important thing you can do (Jackson)" "Please vote on Novermber 2nd (DiCaprio)" (Rock the Vote graphic)

It's not even close to remotely likely. It's certainly NOT desirable. This fake, phoney, fraudulent "draft" talk is SCARE MONGERING of the WORST kind. And it's ALL from the Democrats.

The "Rock the Vote" ad I transcribed where Samuel L Jackson frightens folks over a coming draft for Iraq can be seen here (4MB Quicktime).

DEVOTED MTV FANS DISCUSS THE UPCOMING ELECTION:

"Huh-huh, huh-huh-huh. Hey, Beavis, it's erection year. Let's go to the polls and do voting 'n stuff."

"Yeah, Butthead, voting is cool, heh-heh. Let's vote for Bush."

"Beavis, you dumb-ass. Bush is a Re-pu-bli-can. He wants us to be educated wholesome guys who work. Huh-huh."

"That sucks, Butthead. I'm gonna vote for that boring guy who looks like Lurch, then have some nachos, heh-heh-heh."

From Yahoo! MAPS:

When using any driving directions or map, it's a good idea to do a reality check and make sure the road still exists, watch out for construction, and follow all traffic safety precautions. This is only to be used as an aid in planning.
