Why does the RNC not attack the 9-11 ads in the Move On contest
? Because if they do they bring it up some unsettling questions and it is kryptonite to Bush.

Why else would they pick the Hitler ads to attack and not the 9-11 ads?

1. The Hitler stuff is offensive to Joe six-pack.
9/11 is more complicated.

2. You think
I don't agree that Joe Sixpack is offended by the Hitler analogy. It is actually something they might relate to seeing as how Joe gets his learn on at the History channel and they are Hitler 24/7.


So you think it is too complicated for the pukes to attack? How is that. I know it is complicated to understand that works to their advantage. Bringing attention to it may cause many people to take the time to understand it, don't you think.

I feel it is proof the pukes know 9-11 is deep doo doo for Bush and the rest of their ilk.

3. Because they just realized the Hitler flap was a mistake
...they caused thousands of Republicans to view the MoveOn ads and the rest of their site.

Oops!

7. You're right-they gave MoveOn Free Advertising
and I think there actually are some intelligent Repukes with a conscience that may begin to question the administration.

5. It is nominated for the youth award

you can vote on it Thursday by going to the move on site tonight and registering for the special vote. They took most of the ads down but I am sure ours will be up on Thursday for the vote. Plz try to check it out if you can.

6. I agree with you, Sterling
I think they think the 9/11 ad hit a little to close to home, and I think they know (or at least have a good idea about) what really happened that day. So they don't want to draw attention to it.

8. Shows they are 1 for 2 in smart
On 9/11, the RNC is being smart for a change. How the hell can they mention that there is an ad called BUSH KNEW, when they know that this will cause Joe Six to ask, WHAT DID BUSH KNOW?

Of course, also possible is that they didn't find any 9/11-related ads - given the extreme confusion and tediousness of MoveOn's voting system.

BUT IT'S GOTTEN EASIER!

YOU CAN STILL VOTE FOR A 9/11-RELATED AD TOMORROW!!!

THERE IS ONE MORE VOTE, AND THE "BUSH KNEW" AD IS UP FOR A YOUTH AWARD!

Right at the beginning of this ad, the first words are "BUSH KNEW". This can help the 911 Truth Movement BIG TIME - here's all you have to do - go here:

http://bushin30seconds.org/runoff/index.html

and sign up to vote, it's very simple.

Once you register Move on will send you a email telling you to check your email this Thursday (TOMORROW!!!) for a link to the voting page. The vote will only be for Thursday so it is crucial you check your mail and follow the link.

HELP THIS AD WIN TO RAISE AWARENESS FOR THE 9-11 TRUTH MOVEMENT! THIS IS A GREAT AD THAT DESERVES TO BE SEEN -

WE HAVE A SHOT AT MAKING A REAL DIFFERENCE HERE - PLEASE HELP!!!

-------------------------

As for the Hitler ads, attacking those was really stupid by the RNC. This is EXACTLY the kind of analogy that Joe Six understands. We live in a country where it's normal to call objectionable politics "fascist." Curiously the most fascist administration ever has been immune to this in the mainstream. Not any more baby.

Is Bush Hitler? No, but his Grandfather financed Hitler!

Germany was a semi-functioning when Hitler came to power.

How well is the Bush Mob doing at their historic task of destroying democracy in the U.S.?
