Bush is turning out to far more of "a socialist" in his domestic policy than Clinton ever was. Clinton never did anything (though he tried in his first term) to rival the 400 billion dollar big government Medicare bill signed by Bush. That was socialism in spades.

By the way, I found the old Freeper threads to be rather amusing pictures, showing Clinton with a Hitler mustache next to Goehring, etc. Oh...let's not forget all those "Hitlery" jokes. These weren't ads in a technical sense but they were certainly never pulled. I am not complaining mind you. It seems rather strange for the same freepers who smiled (like me) at these threads to now complain when someone engages in tit for tat.

The difference is that the FR threads were only seen by a few thousand people tops, and were obvious parodies.

The 30 second video ads that they are showing over at MoveOn.org were finalists in a contest where the winner will be shown on various broadcast outlets. The winning ad will have a media buy of $7 Million or so I think.

And one of these ads that morphed President George W. Bush into Hitler was shown (briefly) as one of the finalists for that contest.
