Bush camp hits back at Kerry with a quip


By Bill Sammon THE WASHINGTON TIMES


President Bush's re-election campaign is ridiculing what it calls "John Kerry's coalition of the wild-eyed," which includes filmmaker Michael Moore and former Vice President Al Gore. The campaign has compiled a collection of video clips featuring angry Democrats and over-the-top ads by MoveOn.org, a liberal advocacy group, to showcase what it calls the "rage" of the left.

The resulting Internet ad, which is posted on the campaign's Web site, is dubbed "The Faces of John Kerry's Democratic Party: The Coalition of the Wild-eyed." <snip>

After more shots of Mr. Gore railing against Mr. Bush and MoveOn.org likening him to Hitler, the ad shows Mr. Kerry using an expletive to describe Mr. Bush's domestic policies.

"This is not a time for pessimism and rage," the ad concludes as the image of Mr. Kerry gives way to one of Mr. Bush. "It's a time for optimism, steady leadership and progress." <snip>

1. Is "wild-eyed" a "quip"?
Might have had Republicans slapping their knees, but...

2. I kind of like the ad
It shows how passionate our side is about getting this country right once again.

3. Prediction: It'll backfire big-time!
I watched the ad and my gut, emotional, non-intellectual, feeling was that it showed the dems as strong and not afraid to tell it like it is. The bit on Bush at the end came off as extremely week by comparison.

They've shot themselves in the foot again! Pretty soon they'll have to aim at their knees, cause they'll have no feet left.
