A conservative group called "Freedom's Watch" is making a 15 million dollar ad buy to get misleading propagandistic ads on the air in 20 states. The ads falsely conflate the Iraq war with 9/11 in subtle visual ways. They're meant to confuse the American public into supporting Bush's failing "surge" policy. And who is the point man for this conservative pro-war group? None other than Bush's former press secretary, Ari Fleischer.

Ari. :puke:

3. Germany declared war on the U.S.
Ari makes an ignorant analogy in this interview regarding Japan and Germany.

He's nothing but a spinner carrying water for the administration. It's disgusting.

4. These people are totalitarian capitalists and the results justify the
means they will use to get a one party state. Wake up you dummies in Congress, the enemy is really serious and will do anything to achieve their one party totalitarian corporatist state.

6. If the debate is so old, then why do you keep bringing it up Ari? The picture is right behind YOU!
Liar, CONSTANT UNASHAMED liar, what is the matter with these people? Protect us over here so we will not die over THERE. PROTECT US OVER HERE so we will not die over there. There is no logic, honesty, or morality obvious in either of these "gentlemen."

10. "Going into Iraq is like going into Germany, though it was the Japanese who attacked us" -- !!!
Edited on Fri Aug-24-07 12:24 PM by defendandprotect
Very well thought out propaganda --

connect WWII with Iraq . . . and Iraq with Vietnam --

The "good war" used to legitimize the evil wars.

The question is how much of really dumb America may be waking up and who's dealing with
trying to wake them up--???

And how much of dumb America will believe this garbage -- ???


PS: Did anyone think that Ari left the WH because he couldn't stomach the lies any longer???

Wow -- !!!!

11. met Ari Fleischer at a bar in Indianapolis
His wife's from there, he'd stopped in for a drink in from the airport. He was the biggest prick I had ever met.
