A MoveOn.org TV ad just aired on CNN's Inside Politics. It sent me to the MoveOn.org web site, where the ad is available for viewing, and where I note that it's named "Radical Rampage."
The focus is on the possible GOP move to deny Dems the right to filibuster judicial nominees. The ad shows a pack of angry elephants rampaging through the streets of Washington, DC, knocking down the pillars of the Supreme Court and doing other damage.
A somber announcer intones about "extremist judges," etc.
In the final scene, the announcer talks about some Senators being willing to stand up to the Republicans. The screen shows a single man standing in the street, courageously holding his hand up before an advancing elephant.
The visual parallel with the famous image of the single man holding his hand up and trying to stop a tank in Tianamen Square during the pro-democracy uprising there was unmistakeable. Of course the Chinese communists eventually quashed the demonstrations violently, killing untold numbers of protestors.
That's right. MoveOn.org is analogizing Republicans to the Butchers of Tianamen Square.
NOWWWWW we're talking. THOSE are the people to thank. I'm just some mouthy jerk on an internet forum. :o)
Yeah, maybe. But you're OUR mouthy jerk, dagnabit!
:-)
$oro$, the international socialists, and domestic enemies keep spewing their mental diarrhea.
Right!!
All kidding aside, I know you had already made the point I did.
But -- and I always add this, just in case -- not in a gay way. :o)
ROFL.
;-)
Thx Bro!
How about a serious commercial exposing Moveonorg as a bunch of 21st century Nazi's funded by soros?
This is what I was talking about.
Ping!
point taken. I'd forgotten about the swifties and their effect on the election. Some would say that their campaign had more bang for their buck than MoveOn and all its ads.
Actually, that guy stood up to the tanks after the massacre happened.
Thanks for clarification. In any case, I wonder if the media have picked up on this MoveOn smear?
