What The GOP Is Up To - Pro-Censure TV Ads Debut on MONDAY!!

[althecat]

But not for who you might expect...

Just received in the inbox ... orwell on steriods.

Friends,
I have some very big news to report to you.
Starting today - Monday, May 22, 2006 - our Censure campaign begins a multimedia ad blitz that will wake up this nation!
Our new television ad campaign begins on CNN and Headline News. You can watch the new Censure TV Ad by clicking the Censure button:

Our message is also getting out to Fox News Channel viewers. I was a guest on the Fox News program, "Your World with Neil Cavuto" and this one appearance alone generated tens of thousands of signatures for our petition asking Congress to issue a resolution of Censure.
Please take a moment to watch the video from Cavuto's show - just click the TV set to view the segment:

It doesn't stop there! We also have online ads going up today on DrudgeReport.com (over 2 MILLION displays of the ad there) and several other news/commentary sites (with an additional 2.5 MILLION impressions of the ad!).
This is an expensive media blitz on our part, and we couldn't have done it without the terrific support from thousands of people who believe in this Censure campaign. We've now pulled ahead of ImpeachPAC's fundraising thanks to the generous support of some great individuals and organizations who believe in this cause.
You can continue to monitor the success of our petition drive online at: http://www.CensureCarter.com
Remember, those signatures are in addition to the more than 10,000 signatures we collected at PetitionOnline.com before we got our own in-house petition software up and running!
We have generated significant momentum for our efforts, especially since Senate Democrats chastised Senator Russ Feingold for irresponsibly attacking the anti-terrorist wiretapping surveillance program and misusing the system of Congressional Censure.
The progressive e-magazine, Raw Story, documented the criticism from Senate Democrat offices against Feingold.
http://www.rawstory.com/news/2006/Democrats_slash_Feingold_move_on_censure_0314.html
"Feingold's grandstanding screwed the pooch and played into Bill Frist's hands," the aide said. "Thank God Dems punted this down the field."
And when Feingold conducted his Censure hearings, Senate Democrats abandoned him and hung him out to dry!

Thankfully the "Blame America First" crowd has failed in their efforts to embarrass our Commander in Chief and undermine the war on terrorism.
Now it is our responsibility to make sure that we condemn those irresponsible voices who continue to sympathize with America's enemies and who speak out against the missions our troops are serving in.
Former President Jimmy Carter has become the leading voice for a defeatist policy of appeasement to those who wish America harm, and it is time for the Congress of the United States to Censure him.
Let us send a message to the entire world that Jimmy Carter does not speak for the people of this nation and that we find his actions and words to be shameful, detrimental and inexcusable.
Thank you so much for your continued support!

1. What? They are going after Jimmy Carter?

I don't care what it is about, that is just looney tunes.

[onehandle]

2. Is this a joke? Has the Onion lost its sense of humor?

Nuts to these jerks.

[nadinbrzezinski]

3. Orwell could learn from these mother fuckers

Sorry, they've lost it, and these traitors need to be exposed for the rattlesnakes they are

[Marr]

4. "continue to sympathize with America's enemies..."

I think Melanie Morgan must masturbate to Orwell books on tape.

[madfloridian]

5. By censuring, they hope to avoid possible impeachment...

should we get back in power in the House. MoveOn was formed to censure Clinton, and forget the impeachment...and MoveOn.

[althecat]

6. They will find it a hard road to impeach carter now I would think...

:)

[madfloridian]

8. I meant some Repubs are planning to censure Bush.

Before we can do it. I read it the other day. Sorry I was not clear. I don't have the link handy, I was just surfing.

[althecat]

11. Sorry...

I was just trying to be a smartarse in spirit with the original post... though the idea of the GOP censuring the dimson is vaguely appealing. From the looks of things these folk would be agin the plan though.

[Robbien]

13. Question, you said you got this as an e-mail

Does the looney tune right have a mass mailer system going out to every media outlet they know about?

[althecat]

16. No doubt they have several.... here are the mail headers

Someone may be able to decipher them for you

18. She's using the mail blaster of Move America Forward

That is the group who spearheaded the threats to theaters demanding they do not show Michael Moore's F-911. MAF is tied to Russo Marsh & Rogers which is a political public relations firm with strong ties to the GOP.

7. Could these people be any more bat-shit insane?

People really fall for this shit and get on board with it. I don't even speak to my MIL any more because she gets all of these absurd e-mails and believes them. Trying to talk to anyone on the gop/christo-taliban e-mail list is like trying to hold a conversation with a schitzophrenic who is off of their meds.

[magellan]

9. More bleed-through from the alternate universe?

I had to read that thing twice just to assure myself that I was parsing it correctly. They want to censure...Jimmy Carter? Is it possible to censure someone who is no longer politically active?

What a waste of time, but history proves that whenever they're presented with the truth, the GOP take the low road and focus on witch hunts.

[Bucky]

10. These people can be safely ignored. They don't matter.

This is all going to add up to nothing. We should focus on the dangerous ones, not the goobers.

[nadinbrzezinski]

19. We have been ignoring many of these fanatics to our peril

for way too long... they need to be exposed with the rest of the fascist clique

[althecat]

12. Bat Shit Insane.. but apparently well funded...

Is it possible to find out the colour of these people's money?

I.E. How much they got and where it camne from?

[althecat]

14. Does anyone think this has the look of his Roviness about it?

Seems to me it is Rovian in the extreme....

[jschurchin]

15. Just fired off a quick note.........

to these fucking idiot's. I suggested censuring Jimmy Hoffa.

[althecat]

17. If you want to reply the email address is [e-mail]

... just in case you want to tell melanie what you think of her brilliant idea I will repeat that a few times

21. That mmorgan is a real piece of work

Her group Move America Forward was the one who coined the phrase Democrats are the party of blame America First. PR Watch has an entry on what they did during the convention
http://www.prwatch.org/prwissues/2004Q3/maf.html

And this site has a background of her group's misdeeds:
http://rightweb.irc-online.org/rw/697
Moving Backward with Move America Forward

Move America Forward (MAF), a California-based advocacy group, believes that moving the country forward requires kicking the United Nations out of the United States, recalling liberal governors like Gray Davis, banning films like Fahrenheit 911, sending "illegal aliens" back to where they came from, and having a rabid anti-UN rightist John Bolton serve as our representative to the United Nations. Move America Forward has mounted media-saturation campaigns to advance its radical ideas, including leading the recent pro-Bolton campaign.

MAF bills itself as a nonpartisan nonprofit organization that is “committed to supporting America’s efforts to defeat terrorism and supporting the brave men and women of our Armed Forces.” As an advocacy organization, MAF disseminates its information mostly through radio and television ads. It has also engaged in online petitions, organized rallies on a variety of topics, and sent gourmet coffee to U.S. troops stationed in Iraq and Afghanistan.

20. They defeated him 26 fucking years ago and still can't get over him

I guess when blaming Clinton's penis fails, they blame Jimmy Carter. Go figure...

[althecat]

22. Kick for the folk who missed this first time round...
