O'Donnell introduced the partisan attack ad as a get-out-the-vote push: "Sometimes you have to take unusual steps to get out the vote. MoveOn.org, with the help of actors Olivia Wilde from 'House' and Romany Malco from 'Weeds,' has produced a warning from the future to show you what could happen if Republicans win this

Given MSNBC’s ratings, MoveOn got exactly what they paid for.

Help me here... Isn’t it illegal for a corporation to make these kinds of political contributions?

Her (Olivia Wilde) mother, Leslie Cockburn (née Redlich), is a 60 Minutes producer and journalist, and her London-born father, Andrew Cockburn, is an Irish journalist, as are her paternal uncles Alexander Cockburn and Patrick Cockburn, all of whom are contributors to the political website CounterPunch.org. Her sister, Chloe Cockburn, is a civil rights attorney in New York.

The ad is truly awful, in every way:

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/10/25/moveon-ad-dystopic-republicorp-2010_n_773689.html

You can watch “President Palin” declare “superwar”, etc.

I’m sure that conservatives can produce an even more horrific view of what will happen in the future if the obama/Pelosi/Reid/Soros/Al-Waleed clique stays in power. The only difference is that this scenario will be true-to-life!!!!

Both her parents were prominent in the Washington social scene, hosting dinner parties. Her mother once recounted a story of a young Wilde eavesdropping one night on a conversation between Richard Holbrooke and Mick Jagger until Mick noticed her and shooed Olivia to bed

This is like a conservative demanding equal time on the Rush Limbaugh show. Except that Rush is entertaining, informative, and has a large and growing audiences. Very shaky claims for MSNBC on all counts.

Besides that the video is on the Huffington Post, which wins the Ignoble Prize for Serbophobia and Orthodox-phobia (with that traitor Frank Schaeffer—assisted by the totally bogus Jim Wallis—as their spokesman).

And they bash Arizona, too!!!! They hate everything that I love!!!!

But they did so in a very unbiased way, I’m sure.
