Moveon.com is very similar to the ACLU. If there's a totalitarian element or issue to be debated, they'll side with the totalitarians every single time.

MoveOn.org released its version to the media Wednesday and was to air the ad Thursday in 12 major U.S. cities at a cost of $400,000.... and last month spent more than $300,000 on newspaper ads urging President Bush to avoid war. That's a good chunk of cash for some ads. Who's laundering the money through this group, Hussein? Saudis?

What was the joke in '65? "They told me if I voted for Goldwater we'd end up in a horrendous war, and I did, and we are?" Something like that.

They told me that if I voted for Goldwater, wed have a war in Southeast Asia, civil and racial unrest, and a ruined economy. I went ahead and voted for him anyway, and it turned out they were absolutely right.

A great question here:
MoveOn.org released its version to the media Wednesday and was to air the ad Thursday in 12 major U.S. cities at a cost of $400,000.... and last month spent more than $300,000 on newspaper ads urging President Bush to avoid war.

You know that it is not the renta mob and the old burnt out hippies who raised that money that fast!

(advertisement)
To: GeneD
The original anti-Goldwater ad was run only once, because of the backlash against it. Then Mondale ran a similar ad with similar intent, which at the end showed a silo's blast doors fly open and a Titan missile rise into the sky. The final image was "space ship Earth," the blue ball of our planet in the black void of space. The idea of the ad was that people would fear Reagan as a "war-monger." As I wrote at the time, some ads convey the exact opposite message as their makers intended. What would Joe Six-Pack think when he saw that ad? I suggested that his reaction would be, "Look at that baby fly! Is this a great nation, or what?"
Never mind whatever ads the anti-war clowns run. They only will demonstrate, again, that they are "world-class clymers."

In my convoluted logic, if the peacenicks are afraid that the war would escalate to the point where the Iraqis would use nukes, then that would mean that the president has been right all along.

Here's the message of the ad, translated from the radical leftish into English:
Dear Americans,
Cower in fear, accept the helplessness (and inherent evil) of liberal Western civilization, and leave war-mongering, genoncidal dictators free to drive one region of the globe after another into barbarism.

I remember LBJ (Loony Bird?) saying that if a voter supports Barry Glodwater and he wins, he will send 200,000 troops to Viet Nam.
So the majority voted for LBJ and he sent 800,000 troops to Viet Nam. This is nothing to be alarmed about because a Democrap is a Democrap, usually a liar and one who religously practices the politics of FEAR, DIVISION and HATRED!
