Sunday Jan. 4, 2004; 12:50 p.m. EST Dem Ad Morphs Bush into Hitler

Republican National Committee Chairman Ed Gillespie is calling on the Democratic Party to disavow an 2004 presidential ad campaign that uses visual imagery to compare President Bush to Adolf Hitler.

Referring to the presidential ad contest currently being sponsored by the Web site MoveOn.org, Gillespie told "Fox News Sunday," "One of the ads submitted that they considered viable for airing . . . one of them morphed President Bush into Adolf Hitler."

"That's the kind of tactic we're seeing on the left today in support of these Democratic candidates," he complained.

Calling the spot "vile" and "heinous," Gillespie challenged all nine Democratic candidates to condemn any campaign commercial comparing Bush to the Third Reich dictator.

"Every Democrat at the [Iowa] debate tonight ought to repudiate that tactic," he told Fox.

A message on Moveon.org's Web site says finalists in the ad contest will be announced Monday. Included among the judges - notorious Bush haters Michael Moore and Janeane Garofalo, as well as actor Jack Black, comedian Margaret Cho and Donna Brazile, former campaign manager for Al Gore.

Over the last year Gore has developed close ties to the radical left-wing group.

In November, MoveOn.org's primary financial backer George Soros compared Bush to Hitler in an interview with the Washington Post.

Saying he believed the White House was guided by a "supremacist ideology," Soros complained:

"America, under Bush, is a danger to the world . . . When I hear Bush say, 'You're either with us or against us,' it reminds me of the Germans . . . My experiences under Nazi and Soviet rule have sensitized me."

Before the interview, the Hungarian emigre announced that he was donating $5 million to MoveOn, the organization's single biggest contribution ever.

Gee, how original. This ad will only reinforce the true believers in the democrat strongholds and turn off some centrist democrats and the vast majority of independents.

Brilliant strategery.

[PSYCHO-FREEP]

Soros is perpetuating the very thing he hopes to prevent.

Which is a typical DUmocrat idiosyncrasy.

[Gritty]

I don't know why the Left is so mad at Hitler. After all, he was one of their guys!

[tkathy]

"I say let the ad run. It will only make the Dems look foolish"

I agree. The worse their ads, the more moderates they will turn off, hopefully for good.

Remember the Hitler degeneration scenario, this is the last gasp of a dying party.

:Godwin's Law: /prov./ [Usenet] "As a Usenet discussion grows longer, the probability of a comparison involving Nazis or Hitler approaches one." There is a tradition in many groups that, once this occurs, that thread is over, and whoever mentioned the Nazis has automatically lost whatever argument was in progress. Godwin's Law thus practically guarantees the existence of an upper bound on thread length in those groups. - The Jargon File (http://www.ccil.org/jargon/)

There's a huge difference between the rant of a single person and the judgement of the DNC and entire liberal organizations. The fact that this "foolishness" is about to be aired on TV as some sort of viable "issue ad" shows the desperation of the left.

If their only hope of winning is if Hitler is their opponent, then they are in a sad state.

[Roberts]

Absolutely, let them run it. If they do, they're finished.

The Anti-Defamation League will blow them out of the water if they run it.

"America, under Bush, is a danger to the world . . . When I hear Bush say, 'You're either with us or against us,' it reminds me of the Germans . . . My experiences under Nazi and Soviet rule have sensitized me."

I remember so clearly on Sept. 11, ABC radio news played a clip of Hillary Clinton saying that, "Either you are with us in our time of need, or you are against us." I wish I could find that quote on the internet. Bush isn't the only one saying that. Does Hillary remind Mr. Soros of the Nazis too?

Expect to see much more campaign advertising move to the net where it may not be as regulated by the FEC. Foreign nations are already salivating at taking President Bush down (and foreign campaign contributions have been rolling in on sites such as "moron.org").

Continuing Dimocrat self destruction bump!

I was thinking the same thing. The Dems and the LEFT are self destructing.

Isn't it fun to watch and enjoy?

I anxiously await the long faces of the alpoMedia and the LEFT on election night when "W" gets all but N.H. in the win column.

[The Raven]

Hmmm.....guess we can take off the gloves now.

Let the games begin

[Erik Latranyi]

Let the games begin

Unfortunately, this time we are fighting foreign money as well as domestic money flowing into RAT-Affiliated groups.

This war has just begun.....

Hitler was an artist.

He may have been just too sensitive for politics.

[July 4th]

What a stupid ad - it doesn't even morph the two images. The message sucks and the production quality sucks.

[weegee]

I might have been apt to actually download it if it had been on CensureAndMoron's website (eat up more of their bandwidth).

I think you meant to say "all but VT. in the win column..."

Howard Dean hails from the other, similarly-shaped Northeastern state (the upside-down one). Actually, he hails from Park Avenue, NY and the Hamptons, but that's another matter...

Under Klinton's watch,
He railroaded Billy Dale at the travel office.
His people gassed and shot and burned gunowners at Waco
His people promoted the butchers at Ruby Ridge
He pushed for his own Patriot Act(So dem critics can STFU on that)
He pushed for heavy gun grabs.
He pushed for more government control over everything.
While governor his buddy prosecutor Dan Harmon is a likely killer of two people that stumbled on a drug drop.
Whose party has all the Jew Haters like McKinney? Whose the Nazi, MoveOn? It ain't Bush. Today's Nazi party is the part of Bill Klinton. The democrats.

Today's democrats are the new version of the National SOCIALIST Workers Party.

[jern]

I agree.
