Here's a new web ad from the House Republicans about the current surveillance bill showdown.

I don't really have anything to add besides, "Wow." Do not watch that in the dark.

Remember that yesterday, Republicans made it clear that there will be no negotiating. So either Dems give in and award the telecoms immunity for cooperating with the administration's warrantless wiretapping program, or the Republicans will strive for even better produced efforts at fear-mongering.

UPDATE: House GOP Cuts Fearmongering Video

1. OMG, it's a guy in a cave...FEAR FEAR FEAR

We really need a "hiding under the bed" or a "wet pants' or "shaking biting finger nails in fear" smiley. Just label it the 'afraid' smiled

[gateley]

2. This is the most blatant, chilling piece of pure propaganda that I've ever seen.

It's very well done and will be effective in influencing those who don't know the entire story.

:scared:

3. You missed the update; apparently they couldn't even take it:

UPDATE: House GOP Cuts Fearmongering Video

[gateley]

4. Oh - I saw that. I thought the word "cut" was used like in "cutting a record".

Gotcha. Thanks!!

[Truth2Tell]

5. I hope the Dems don't back down.

We have GOT to fight this head on.

And isn't it nice that the Republicans have footage of Jay Rockefeller to use for this. Fucking traitor.

[Jack Rabbit]

6. Oye, GOP

¡Chíngate!

I feel safer now that the Protect America Act has expired. The Bushies aren't spying on me now.

[Oilwellian]

7. Stunning & disturbing

Olbermann also covered this tonight. These people are scum.

8. Propaganda 101

Who was it who said to lie, tell a BIG lie.  Then repeat it
over and over again?  I have more fear for the constitution
than I have for my present congressman's view of trying to
instill fear. I pray the democratic leadership prevails in its
defense of our Bill of Rights.

[Spiffarino]

9. It's hard to believe it was just four years ago...

...that this kind of shit was selling big to the voters.

Lincoln was prophetic: You really can't fool all the people all the time.
