When Repugs denounce the purple bandaid, pigs will fly. Ried and Pelosi should not denounce the ad.

Remember what repugs did to Kerry, if not I'll refresh everyone's memory.

Band-Aid Goon No Garden Variety Activist; What We Can Do About It

The AP has reported on the creep passing out the Purple Heart band-aid type bandages on the floor of the Republican Convention, as noted in skiddlybop's recommended diary.

As usual, journalistic shorthand has tabbed him as "Morton Blackwell, a longtime GOP activist from Virginia." But, given the shallow conventions of these journalistic shorthands, I Googled the clown to see what the real deal is. (An impulse that is shared, it seems, with Kossite Fred in Vermont.)

Blackwell, as it turns out, is one of the founding members of the ugly side of the American Conservative movement. He was there at the creation with jokers like Brent Bozell, William F. Buckley, and Phyllis Schlafly. His "non-partisan" Leadership Institute has trained thousands of conservative footsoldiers, including Grover Norquist and Ralph Reed.

So, he's no mere activist like your local Rotarians or county NRA secretary-treasurer. He's in the inner circle of Republican power, having worked his way in as a leader in the Draft Goldwater movement and bought his way in with thousands of dollars in contributions ($16000 over the last four years alone; see the FEC database).

Now, it might be tempting to flood the Leadership Institute with letter denouncing their lack of patriotism and disdain for the sacrifice of veterans everywhere. Far be it from to stop your patriotic pursuits. However, it might be more fruitful to alert the Johnson&Johnson Company that this thug is using their Band-Aid® brand name without permission.

Folks, please can we discuss this and recommend this diary in this thread so we can help the media to find this disgusting story to show the real face of the Republican party?

I suggest we call Boehner out on his faux indignation and remind them of what they did here.

Call Repugs in congress and complain.

1. Forget about the war, withdrawing troops and funding

the war. As long as they don't denounce this ad, all is well.
Bar can't get much lower for success.

2. I'm with you Caligirl

I think that was as low as the Pukes have gone. They were proud of making the purple heart into a big effing joke.

I am sick and tired of the fake outrage of the pukes and the dems who give into them every single time. It's just a way to get them to criticize the dem activists. The dems should just ignore their whiny asses.

That was as low as it can get.
