It also adds risk - like when the GOP discovered that one of the 1,500 proposed ads compared Bush to Adolf Hitler. Republican National Committee Chairman Ed Gillespie called it "political hate speech" and demanded that the nine Democratic presidential candidates repudiate it. Boyd quickly removed the proposed ad, but vowed not to be scared off.

Yeah. Boyd and Pariser also said the Hitler ad was very unpopular and it wasn't one of the fifteen finalists in the contest. They are lying.

There is good reason to believe that they altered their list of finalists and edited their website to obliterate the Hitler ad from the final fifteen.

They are dishonest and this should be noted.

They are loathesome, delusional and lying individuals, but their creative 30 second commercial was a winning idea, and the elected officials contact section is also good. The site, whatever else you want to say about it, is set up well for activism. No doubt they had some good "ins" with filmmaking schools as well. In addition, they produced a propaganda video for which they had a nation-wide party screening. Excellent idea as well. Rather sadly I saw pictures from my own area of people watching it...in a PUBLIC LIBRARY. Ah well, grab the good stuff, learn from it, and discard the rest. Better than put them down - LEARN, do BETTER, and WIN. There is no greater "revenge."

So they're pretending that Moveon is a separate entity from the DNC?

LOL

Who do they think they're fooling?

The movie section of the Dallas Morning News yesterday had this snippet in a movie column:

David Haynes of Dallas is one of 15 finalists in the political advertising contest, "Bush in 30 Seconds," sponsored by the MoveOn.org Voter Fund which is dedicated to creating and running powerful ads in swing states to challenge the Bush administration and its policies.

The purpose of the contest is to tap into the vast pool of talen outside the Beltway, where the majority of political ads are devised, to show what Bush policies have meant to the country and what's at stake.

MoveOn paved the way, evolving in six short years from something of a cybergeek forum to arguably the largest and most forceful voice in digital-era politics.

Hard to see how they can credibly advance the claim of being the largest and most forcefully anti-Bush voice in digital-era politics, given the virulently hysterical anti-GWB spewings all over this site during the past week or so; all of them, purportedly, courtesy of (*kaff*kaff*) "lifelong Republican voters," no less.

Spare me the outrage over MoveOn's hateful "Bush=Hitler" ads from now on, please. After having seen GWB slurred -- idiotically and irresponsibly -- as a "traitor," a "war criminal," a "socialist" and a "liberal" right here, on this very site... I'd have to say, in all naked honesty: THEY'RE not where our problems genuinely lie, ultimately.

More's the pity.

Come on! Do any of you really think there are people out there surfing the web, come up on MoveOn.org and suddenly decide to vote based on the trash they see?

If so, enough to make a difference?

[antaresequity]

I wish the MoveOn folks would just challenge us a to group dual in the woods somewhere and we can get this over with once and for all [paint ball of course ;)]

"It's been a magic injection of courage and backbone for the Democratic party in many ways," said Democratic consultant Jenny Backus. "We've been overwhelmed by talk radio and Republicans' ability to stir up their base, and MoveOn has really stepped into that void."

ROFLMOL...It isn't backbone they've injected....and you can't fill a void with a void.
