Transcript:

[Text on Screen]

A long, long time ago…

[Montage of past presidents]

FDR:  “The only thing we have to fear…”

Truman:  “… and are determined to work for peace on earth…”

JFK:  “Ask not what your country can do for you… ask what you can do for your country.”

[Text on Screen]

Today…

[VIDEO] Howard Dean:

“I hate what the Republicans are doing to this country.  I really do.”

[VIDEO] Hillary Clinton:

“It is very hard to stop people who have never been acquainted with the truth.”

[VIDEO] Howard Dean:

“A lot of them have never made an honest living in their lives.”

[PRINT] Howard Dean 6/6/2005:

[Republican Party] “it's pretty much a white, Christian party.”

[VIDEO] Nancy Pelosi:

“Our plan is to stop him…stop him… he must be stopped”

[VIDEO] Dick Durbin

“You would most certainly believe this must have been done by Nazis, Soviets in their gulags, or some mad regime--Pol Pot or others--that had no concern for human beings. Sadly, that is not the case. This was the action of Americans.”

[PRINT] Harry Reid 5/6/2005:

“I Think This Guy [President Bush] Is A Loser.”

[VIDEO] Harry Reid:

“I apologized for the loser, I haven’t for the liar.”

[VIDEO] Jon Stewart:

“We turn our attention now to Washington, and the Democrats.  Political party founded in 1792 that enjoyed an active role in American politics through much of the 20th century.  Perhaps you’ve heard of them.  No?  Ask your parents.”

Web ad? What ever happened to TV ads? You know, the ones people other than the choir actually watch?

Lol... I love the Jon Stewart clip. I wish they would cut this down to 1 minute and run it on TV. These are some big gaffe's by the Democrats that need to be publicized.

WOW - Thank you for this great addition!

The WH probably wouldn't approve this clip, seeing as she's the new "First sis-in-law"

I doubt the veracity of this story.

There's no existing computer system that could handle this sort of load. :)

Nice start, but a Web ad? Who's going to see that except for a few political junkies?

Get serious, RNC. Run a network ad. And I don't mean Fox.

Millions of activists are E-mailed these web ads. I have one in my inbox. These activists show these ads to their friends, Co-workers and neighbors. These ads are picked up by the media when Dems object.

This was a very effective way of getting the message out to the American people during the election. Through grassroots and provoking Dems to respond.

"Get serious, RNC. Run a network ad. And I don't mean Fox."

It is disappointing. I want people to see it and it isn't going to be seen by anyone except Republicans on the web.

I disagree. They're simply entertainment for the base. I guess that does serve some purpose. But even if a few middle-of-the-roaders see them, a 14-inch computer screen simply doesn't have the same effect as a TV screen in your living room. And I don't think that many people see them, except people like us who are looking for them.

I'm not sure what you are disagreeing with.

My statements are fact.

The RNC has a very large list of activists to contact.

Those contacted show these to others.

MSM/Dems pick up these web ads and react spreading the message through their own circulations.

This was done during the campaign.

It is fact, not opinion.

All of this is an inside loop among the most politically interested and committed. The most important thing is to reach the uninterested and uncommitted and change the way they see things. These ads don't do that. The people we need to reach are not going to watch a political Web ad on a neighbor's monitor. The fact that it may happen now and then doesn't mean that it happens often. I just think your view of this is really naive.

These things then create a little controversy and they get free media on the evening news.

That's probably the point more than anything.
