Its a good think LBJ kept us out of Vietnam like he promised,huh?

[Hugin]

Maybe someone can bring back the Reagan "There's a bear in the woods..." ad.

[muawiyah]

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.

[Shermy]

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?

[Congressman Billybob]

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."

As the politician formerly known as Al Gore has said, Buy my book, "to Restore Trust in America"

[pfflier]

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.

[Stultis]

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.

[dead]

The left is still trapped in the sixties.

Break out the Donovan, bundt cakes, and behive hairdos.

[leprechaun9]

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!

Revisiting a jarring television commercial from the Cold War era, a grass-roots anti-war group has remade the 1964 "Daisy" ad, warning that a war against Iraq could spark nuclear Armageddon.


As long as they are bring this ad back do you think they could bring my 64 Chevy Impala back? I'd really love to have it again.
And while we're at it I also like the body I had in 64 back also.

[MattAMiller]

You know it sort of looks like a point is being made here. But it's just an illusion. So far the anti-war war arguments have been so much vapor.

[Moonman62]

IIRC, Barry Goldwater's autobiography stated that NPR subsidized, uberliberal Bill Moyers was behind the "Daisy" ad.

[SkyPilot]

Tell that to him.

The ad created such negative reaction that it was pulled after only one showing, but Johnson went on to a landslide victory.

I saw it more than once?
Oh yea they get to rewrite history, I guess I should believe them insteaded of my eyes and ears.

[buffyt]

Mid East war could spark Armageddon.... just like the Persian Gulf war did? It didn't... oh... just like the war on Kosovo did? It didn't.... oh... never mind.

And so could NOT warring against Iraq.

Peace at any cost I guess.
