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.

I knew you knew it...but the point is entirely that the Ruby Ridge affair cuts both ways. Bush Sr. had the opportunity to clean house of these killers, but did absolutely nothing about it. When enough time-in-grade passes in the Civil (sic) Service, the promotion process is functionally automatic, bar gross misconduct.
Therefore, since Bush Sr. did nothing, he's in exactly the same moral position as Bent Willy and his thugs. Was it gross misconduct (or worse)? Of course. But The Bent One has the perfect out on this, to wit, that he was merely letting the ordinary workings of gov't occur in accordance with the everyday rules in force.
Net bottom line: mentioning Ruby Ridge to discredit ol' Vacuum Nose scores no points.
It's too bad, but that's the way it is.

I didn't create that image, either. It was the subject of it's own FR thread (without a source citation). The website is titled Clark04.50megs.com but I couldn't get a "webpage" to display so I don't know if it really comes from a Kooky Clark supporter or not.

While I agree completely with you -- it is funny because the people that made the Hitler/Bush ad say the same things about us.It's one of the few beauties of the two-party system, if you will.

as well as actor Jack Black, Unbelievable. I liked Jack Black as an actor and person. Too bad he joined the left-wing Hollywood crowd.

i think we should run an ad morphing dean into Colonel Klink. that would pretty much finish him off. (i know, it doesn't make any sense--but no one would ever be able to not think of colonel klink when they saw howard, and there is nothing he could do to refute it. howard would get really, really angry whenever he saw it.)

That is GOOD. In fact it is EXCELLENT. You and Meek are both so talented. Truly talented.
I'm still livid about him saying Jesus is a democrat. I'll not forget that statement ever. Damn him.

They do over the top crap like this and then have the nerve to cry foul when the president's ads do nothing more than use their own words and his to draw contrast. These people make me sick. They are not qualified nor do they deserve to lead anything, except maybe a procession into irrelevance.
