Anybody See This Yet ??? --- Grassfire.org Turns Tables On MoveOn.org
I caught a few seconds of Faux News Sunday today, and this was an ad that ran, but I couldn't tell if it was a paid ad, or if they were going to discuss it. I was running out the door.

Just wondering if any of you have seen it played as a regular paid advertisement.

:shrug:

You can see the ads they've designed to counter the MoveOn ad contest here: http://www.grassfire.org/

Warning, Conservative Idiot Site!!!

13. It's easy to retalliate against
All MoveOn has to do is a commercial about the eight years and millions of dollars that the GOP spent on "attacking" Clinton. And by the way, the only legal reason Bush had to invade Iraq was because Saddam was an immediate miltary threat to the US, not because he wasn't a nice guy!

3. The First Thing That Pissed Me Off, Was...
some phrase at the end of the ad I saw that said something to the effect that 'right thinking Americans support President Bush'.

:puke:

The other thing was the fact that they are already running these ads, and MoveOn hasn't yet, as far as I know.

Are they beating us to the punch... again???

10. Grassfire: Their pot stash burned up and they are totally pissed
Edited on Sun Jan-25-04 11:49 PM by SpiralHawk
at the uNiVerSe.

This project was recommended by their kLaVen psychiatrist as a way for them to discharge liter after liter of deeply inbred bile.

Perhaps some of these souls will "find" each other and fall in love and get married and fReePuRlaNd and its oFfsHoOts will become very different and sweet and rational places.

And perhaps monkeys will fly out of kOmmanDer ChimPee's butt.

It could happen.

7. From their site:
Over 300,000 citizens across the nation have joined with Grassfire in signing the “I Support the Commander In Chief” petition to combat the attacks against our President and the troops. This simple statement of solidarity with our CIC is your first step to taking action on this important issue.


Attacks on the troops? Only people attacking the troops are the Iraqis and GWB is the one to thank for that.

9. That' so full of it I'm sick....
If I remember correctly, Move-On can't even play the ad because CBS is being @$$holes about playing ads that tell the truth. So much for freedom of speech and the 1st Amendment.... oh wait that was overwritten by the Patriot Act....:shrug:

11. One of their petitions is "Save Marriage."
Is there a bill before congress to abolish Marriage? New one on me. Oh, It must be a petition against "Gay Unions." I guess they can't put it into plain english, it has to be worded to protect an institution that isn't in danger.

I can't see where a "gay union" would threaten my marriage in any way. If John and Joe want a commitment ceremony, that isn't going to make me get a divorce -- Unless I am married to John or Joe.
