LOST IN TRANSLATION FOR REAL
LA LA LAND + MoveOn.org PLUMP FOR KERRY (SWIFTLY)

Celebs Join MoveOn in Making Anti-Bush Ads

Tuesday, August 24, 2004

SAN FRANCISCO--AP-- "Bourne Supremacy" star Matt Damon, "Lost in Translation" actress Scarlett Johansson  and other celebrity artists are donating their talents -- not just their cash -- to an online effort to unseat President Bush.

The Internet political group MoveOn.org on Tuesday premieres 10 new anti-Bush ads created by award-winning directors and starring popular Hollywood actors. An independent group not connected directly to Democratic candidate John Kerry, MoveOn has promised an unconventional approach to the election.

"It makes a real difference when performers and visual artists can use the star power to get people to pay attention to the message in the ad."

MoveOn showed its populist appeal with a "Bush in 30 Seconds" contest that generated hundreds of online anti-Bush ads, then spent millions airing the winning ad. With the latest ad campaign, it's stepping up to a new level of sophistication.

John Sayles, the writer-director of "Sunshine State" and "Eight Men Out," teams with actor Martin Sheen for one ad. Doug Liman, who directed "Swingers" and "The Bourne Identity," reunites with Damon for another MoveOn spot.

Rob Reiner, the director of "When Harry Met Sally" and "The American President," uses Bush's own words to form the core of his 30-second ad. They come from an April news conference in which Bush struggled to answer whether he'd made mistakes as president.

Despite their star wattage, some of the ads may never get airtime. While MoveOn spokeswoman Laura Dawn said the group has committed to a "sizable" national cable buy for its first ad, the rest may simply remain on the Internet as a motivator for MoveOn members.

"Whether they go on TV or not depends on how they are tested (with voters)," Dawn said.

"Well, I haven't been briefed [about the new al Qaeda plans of a large-scale attack on the United States] yet, Larry. They have offered to brief me; I just haven't had time."

"I think most Americans subconsciously believe something [another terror attack on the United States] is going to happen. It's a matter of when, and it's a matter of how... but, you know, Europeans have lived that way, and other people around the world have lived that way. Americans have been very safe, at least as a nation."

The Left's Fatally Flawed "Animal Farm" Mentality
(Why America Must NEVER AGAIN Elect a Democrat President)


WHY JOHN KERRY IS DANGEROUS FOR AMERICA

by Mia T, 6.04.04

johnkerryisdangerousforamerica.blogspot.com

The Bush Doctine is built on two pillars, one -- that the United States must maintain its absolute military superiority in every part of the world, and second -- that the United States has the right for preemptive action.

Now, both these propositions, taken on their own, are quite valid propositions, but if you put them together, they establish two kinds of sovereignty in the world, the sovereignty of the United States, which is inviolate, not subject to any international constraints, and the rest of the world, which is subject to the Bush Doctrine.

To me, it is reminiscent to [sic] George Orwell's "Animal Farm," that "All animals are created equal, but some animals are more equal than others."

George Soros

eorge Soros could not have more clearly enunciated the lethal danger that he and John Kerry and the clintons and the rest of his leftist cabal pose for America.

Yesterday, at the "progressive," i.e., ultra-extremist left-wing liberal, "Take Back America" confab, Mr. Soros confirmed the obvious: 9/11 was dispositive for the Dems; that is, 9/11 accelerated what eight years of the clintons had set into motion, namely, the demise of a Democratic party that is increasingly irrelevant, unflinchingly corrupt, unwaveringly self-serving, chronically moribund and above all, lethally, seditiously dangerous.

"All animals are created equal, but some animals are more equal than others."

Apparently missing the irony, George Soros chastised America with these words even as he was trying his $25,000,000, 527-end-run damnedest to render himself "more equal than others" in order to foist his radical, paranoic, deadly dementia on an entire nation.

"Animal Farm" is George Orwell's satirical allegory of the Russian Revolution; but it could just as easily be the story of the Democratic Party of today, with the

Kennedy-Pelosi-Gore-clinton (either--"one for the price of two," I say) -Sulzberger-Soros-Moore construct

its porcine manifestation.

GEORGE TSURIS

Soros' little speech reveals everything we need to know about the Left, to wit:

  • its naivete about the War on Terror,

  • its preference for demagoguery over rational argument, and ideology and reacquisition of power over national security,

  • its mindset, which is inextricably bound to its failed, tortuous, reckless schemes, relics of a different time, a different war and a different enemy.

Soros is correct when he states that each of the two pillars of the Bush Doctine--the United States maintenance of absolute military superiority and the United States right of preemptive action--are "valid propositions" [in a post-9/11 world].

But when he proceeds from there to argue that the validity of each of these two [essential] pillars is somehow nullified by the resultant unequalled power that these two pillars, when taken together, vest in the United States, rational thought and national-security primacy give way to dogmatic Leftist neo-neoliberal ideology.

 

What is, in fact, "inviolate" here is the neo-neoliberal doctrine of U.S. sovereignty, which states simply that there must be none, that we must yield our sovereignty to the United Nations. Because this Leftist tenet is inviolate, and because it is the antithesis of the concept of U.S. sovereignty enunciated by the Bush Doctrine and the concept of U.S. sovereignty required by the War on Terror, rabid Leftists like Soros conclude that we must trash the latter two inconvenient concepts--even if critical to the survival of our country.

It is precisely here where Soros and the Left fail utterly to understand the War on Terror. They cannot see beyond their own ideology and lust for power. They have become a danger to this country no less lethal than the terrorists they aid and abet.

 

I think this administration has the right strategic vision and has taken many of the steps needed to get that long-term strategy rolling.

Where I give them the failing grade is in explaining that vision to the American public and the world. Key example: this White House enshrines preemptive war in the latest National Security Strategy and that scares the hell out of a lot of Americans, not to mention our allies. Why? This administration fails to distinguish sufficiently under what conditions that strategy makes reasonable sense.

My point is this: when you are explicit about the world being divided into globalization's Core and Gap, you can distinguish between the different security rule sets at work in each.

Nothing has changed about strategic deterrence or the concept of mutual-assured destruction (or MAD) within the Core, so fears about preemptive wars triggering World War III are misplaced.

When this administration talks about preemption, they're talking strictly about the Gap - not the Core. The strategic stability that defines the Core is not altered one whit by this new strategy, because preemption is all about striking first against actors or states you believe - quite reasonably - are undeterrable in the normal sense.

Thomas P.M. Barnett
The Pentagon's New Map
NB: Dr. Barnett is a lifelong DEMOCRAT

I'm a single-issue voter, as I guess must have become apparent.

I'm not a Republican. I'm not a conservative. I'm not a very great admirer of the president in many ways, but I think that my condition is... that this is an administration that wakes up every morning wondering how to make life hard for the forces of Jihad and how to make as hard as possible an unapologetic defense of civilization against this kind of barbarism... and though the Bush administration has been rife with disappointment on this and incompetent, I nonetheless feel that they have some sense of that spirit.

I don't get that... I don't get that feeling from anyone who even sought the Democratic nomination.

I would [therefore] have to vote for the reelection of President Bush.

The AP story needed a little "touching up:"

The Internet extreme left wing political group MoveOn.org on Tuesday premieres 10 new anti-Bush ads in a new smear campaign created by award-winning directors and starring popular Hollywood actors. An "independent" group that purports not to be connected directly to Democratic candidate John Kerry (but it is plainly obvious that they are), MoveOn has promised an unconventional approach to the inevitable reelection of President Bush.

"It makes a real difference when performers and visual artists can use their alleged star power to get really simple minded people to pay attention to the message in the ad."

MoveOn showed its socialist appeal with a "Bush in 30 Seconds" contest that generated hundreds of online anti-Bush ads unfairly comparing the President to Hitler, then spent millions airing the most whining ad. With the latest ad campaign, it's stepping down to a new level of smear, defamation, and character assassination.

John "pull my finger" Sayles, the writer-director of "Sunshine State" and "Eight Men Out," teams with undereducated actor Martin Sheen for one ad. Doug "Goebbels" Liman, who directed "Swingers" and "The Bourne Identity," reunites with Demon for another MoveOn spot.

Rob Reiner, whose only real claim to fame was in his cameo appearance as Meathead in "Archie Bunker," uses Bush's own highly edited words to form the core of his 30-second ad, a la the deceptive techniques of the lumbering Michael Moore. They are taken out of context from an April news conference in which Bush honestly answered hostile questions about whether he'd made mistakes as president.

I already boycott hollywood. There isn't really anything I miss either. In my opinion, 95% of what they produce is trash. I've been reading more books and think I am a lot better off for it.

Kudos to you, T.
I don't fret anything MoveOn might put out, their propaganda is about as effective, and believable, as Michael Moore's.
The majority of Americans are good people. They see right thru shenanigans like this.
Good people want a good President, that's why we'll see Dubya voted in another term.

I've been boycotting the lefties since 1969,or so.

I've always read and there are so few movies I want to see,that I just wait for them to come on cable.Mostly,I watch VERY old (silents through the 50's) movies on TCM,so it doesn't matter at all to me;however,many people here still do go to the movies and they should stop doing so.:-)

What are the john/john's going to do to protect Americans that don't want to be "like Europeans or other people around the world"?

Exactly... missus heinz kerry is telling us to get used to terrorist attacks, to accept them, as the Europeans have, as a way of life (or a cost of doing business).

But don't miss the always-present heinz + kerry undercurrent:

"Why can't you Americans be sophisticated about it, like the Europeans?"

Notice the "you Americans."

Given its view of American sovereignty, (that there should be none), it is clear heinz + kerry, the construct, does not consider itself American....
