New MoveOn ad: Don’t take my baby, John McCain!
In which a 90-year-old Maverick, serving his fifth term as president after declaring martial law and suspending the Constitution, conscripts young Alex to walk the beat in Baghdad. Either that or mom here hasn’t yet grasped that (a) President McCain won’t be setting Iraq policy for the next 18 years, let alone the next hundred, (b) MoveOn’s candidate of choice has himself been dropping some dark hints lately about “tactical readjustments,” and (c) whether McCain and the military can have her son is, um, up to her son, not her. The left (or at least the segment that MoveOn represents) still hasn’t quite accepted the idea of a volunteer military. If you enlist, it can only be because you were somehow forced — through a draft or, per Charlie Rangel and Waffles, through economic hardship. No one serves because they want to. Which makes this ad the flip side of liberals wondering why Bush hasn’t “sent” his daughters to war. Mom’s not sending Alex and you can’t “take” him, either, even if he wants to go.
He sure does make a cute human shield for MoveOn, though, doesn’t he? Chuck Todd thinks the ad will backfire. I don’t think anyone will care enough either way.

There's a surprise.
We can, however, report it as the hate speech it is.
Could be because for the Left volunteering can be imposed upon the volunteer -- it's how the Left feeeeeeeeeeeeeels.
It's moron.org not moveon.org and that's just one of many reasons why.
These creeps are too disgusting for words. I have a greater affinity for cockroaches.
Hmmm....Will Nobamassiah denounce this by MoveOn or will he kiss the Soros hand that feeds him?
I’m thinking the latter.
I am sure youtube will act on that........
DOn’t worry lady, the military won’t want your little ritalin munching emo doll by the time you are finished raising him.
I guess the phrase “all volunteer” is just too complex for liberal brains.
Good point about the decision being Alex’s.
I wonder if Mommie Dimmest realizes that there is no draft and responsible adults have the self-evident right to live their own lives in their own way.
When Alex tells her, in 2026, that he has enlisted in the Marine Corps will she throw a rope around him and lock him in the basement?
And... does her husband have any opinion?
The cablewaves are being saturated with the incoherent whinings of this imbecile. I can’t believe that American are so dense that they’ll fall for this idiocy.
But I’ve been wrong before.
He was ticked off big time and said the Soros funded ad should be pulled.
Done. Flagged as “Hateful speech”.
The ad to counter this one should be:
A voiceover of a young man in his 20s, the visual of a 1980s video of a mom with 80s hair and her precious little toddler. The young man is saying “Mom sure didn’t want me to go off to war, then either...” The visual changes to Mom crying as the slightly older tot heads into his first school. “...She didn’t even want me to go off to kindergarten! [chuckle]”
“But everything changed one day in 1991.” Images of 9/11.
“Now Mom is as proud as can be that I’ve gone and served my country.” Now you see the serviceman standing tall and proud and his happy mother giving him a big hug. “We’re voting for John McCain, because he believes that America’s future peace is through her strength.”
Face of McCain approving of the message,bla bla bla.
Sounds good, you should make it.
