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.
It's all antiAmericanism whether it is sponsored at home or abroad.
Maybe the public will open their eyes and realize that the Democrats really are the AntiAmerican party.
The party of fifth columnist socialists.
The party of seditious anarchists who want to overthrow the Constitution.
The party who wants to end American sovereignty to be a partner of the EU-SSR/UN and obey their laws.

While I agree completely with you -- it is funny because the people that made the Hitler/Bush ad say the same things about us.
They alledge that conservatives/Republicans are pushing for "globalism". What is that? Corporate rule of the planet? One company? 8 companies? Do these companies plot strategy for global domination together?
We all know that it is creeping socialism that threatens freedom.
As to "seditious anarchists", again it may sound "extreme" and name calling but that is what the black shirt/flag crowd are, (socialist)Anarchists. They DO seek to overthrow the Constitution because they do not believe in our form of government. In fact, their concept of society does not believe in a government at all, per se. They DO want to have socialism in this "new society", however.
Ted Rall is an anarchist-socialist. I've seen DUsrupters who've come to FR who admittedly were anarchists (although they still align with the Democrats). When I told him that his belief system was seditious, he said that he didn't see it that way because he didn't expect to have his end goals met in his lifetime.
I will say that there are libertarians who sound more like anarchists. People who seek "no government", rather than "limited government". That doesn't make them "us", however.
Absolutely the WRONG move.... The RNC should send money to the DNC to continue this ad.... what are they thinking(the RNC) ?..
FIRST NEW YORK - THEN THE WORLD!
