MoveOn.org

Here's the latest MoveOn.org ad now playing in select markets.
YouTube - You Can't Have Alex! MoveOn.org (NTVNAT.com)

Here's Bill Kristol's NY Times op-ed piece commenting on it.
http://www.nytimes.com/2008/06/23/op...ristol.html?hp

There is indeed something vaguely disgusting about the ad. I'm wondering how it would have played on, say, the 8th of December 1941. I'm also wondering how those, with whom it resonates, would recognise an event similar to that of the 7th of December having any effect or meaning to themselves. It does somehow remind me of those brave anti-war protesters of the 1960's who immediately stopped marching in protest of the war the day the draft ended. One can only marvel that soldiers do not feel compelled to spit on civilians. But then they are familiar with the requirements of honor are they not? MoveOn.org knows no such word nor concept.

The best part about being on the Left, is the only reality that counts, is the one you want ..... not the one that is. Because there will always be the people you despise, to keep you safe within your little dream world.

Heres what I'd like the RNC to produce...

A Mom, sitting on her couch, with Barak on TV,
oversound,
Rev. Wright, saying "God Da** America"
"The government lied about inventing the HIV virus as a means of genocide against people of color. The government lied."

Senator Obamas voice on a blank screen.
"I can no more disown him than I can the black community"
"I can no more disown him than I can my white grandmother"
"As imperfect as he may be, he has been like family to me. He strengthened my faith, officiated my wedding, and baptized my children"

scrolling silent text at the end...
"Before leaving for Harvard Law School in 1988, Obama responded to one of Wright's altar calls and declared a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. Later, the rising political star based his 2004 keynote speech to the Democratic National Convention on a Wright sermon called "Audacity to Hope," who also was the inspiration for Obama's second memoir, "The Audacity of Hope"

Until the heat got too high, he was your mentor and trusted friend. Now, gone like the wind.

Over 130 "present" votes while in the State Senate.
No significant legislation authored while in the US Senate.

Thats the way to take a stand Senator Obama.

nuff said.

Just let them 'Move on' to somewhere nice with a good political balance, like, oh, I don't know, Mozambique.

"General Betrayus" had to be a modern low point. They really are shameless. (that's a nice way of saying they're despicable)

MoveOn is George Soros personal toy. Not likely he'll close it down until Dems rule the world.

He has though Mitch, made it clear he doesn't condone the as yet to be run GOP leaning 527 ads. Going so far as to say they are racist, without even having seen one. And back when he was pledging and vowing to use federal funding, one of his reasons, was to try to limit the use of 527 groups. As is becoming increasingly apparent though, he has no problem with things he doesn't approve of, as long as it's beneficial to him.

And no, I'm not holding McCain up as some kind of paragon, even in comparison to Obama. They are both pandering flip-floppers, whose only interest in "serving", is in serving themselves.
