The point of such an ad isn't to pursuade anyone, but for the makers to feel good about themselves. What makes them feel best is to offend as many people as possible. That's what happens when you let nihilists lead you.

Rhetorical question, oj.

As, the Belmont Club explains, they're blinkered.

Heavily.

Everyone thinks like they do, you see. And if they don't they ought to. So that when they crash and burn, the only explanation is conspiracy. (Just replace "Allah" with "ideology."

Not healthy. No, not healthy at all.

Gilespie said it was an ad they "considered" but I guess they did not run it. Or did I misunderstand?

Republicans should not interfere with their opponent when said opponent has decided to self
destruct.

h-man;
MoveOn has an ad contest going now, wherein they have asked independent film/ad people to submit ads for, perhaps, future broadcast use.
The ones they like the best they preview on their site, which is where this p.o.s came from.
As I alluded in my 1st comment, these people are idiots and the "trail" they are leaving will discredit virtually all of what they'll be doing during the election this year.
Soros should demand his money back!

h-man
Apologize for the allusion to the previous post, that was at another site, but here it is, for whatever may be worth to the world at large.

I sure hope Soros is appreciating his return on investment from the $10M he gave these clowns. They think they're so internet savvy, yet put something like this up and don't even realize, not only is it out of bounds, but will downloaded and copied, as the RNC has done. This is going to come back and bite a lot of people on the ass!
Heh!!!

Does anyone else think that Soros' moves might be in aid of forstalling an IRS audit? He may need a Dem pres as badly as Marc Rich did. He's not exactly noted as "Mr. Clean" in finance circles.

Soros confirms my belief that money and wisdom are not necessarily linked. I would have thought someone with the savvy to make the fortune he has made would know better--but intelligence and wisdom are not the same.

Soros has built a lot of hospitals and other public works, mostly in Russia, so I give him the benefit of the doubt regarding his intentions.

However, it does seem as though his investment in defeating Bush was poorly thought out.

Southener -

After spending more than a decade surrounded by the likes (not quite at that level, but certainly aspiring to be) of Soros, I can confirm that money does not always equal wisdom; a much better correlation is money equals narcissism. This is what all the "good intentions" of the Soros', Streisands, Baldwins, etc are all about. Their hatred for Bush is driven by seeing a person who has no time for self-admiration.

Keep in mind that the career of a Soros is based on avoiding efficient markets.

Didn't Soros' thugs have it out w/Vlad's thugs about non-payment of rent?

It's over at rantburg.

here's the apology. or rather.....

This Hitler ad thing sure is being blown out of proportion. The ad was simply one of over a 1000 submitted to the contest. It was not officially endorsed or supported. It was simply a tasteless ad (another tasteless ad showed someone urinating on Bush or something similar).

The ad was certainly not among the 15 finalists on the website:

The quality of some of these ads is amazing. I think this contest was another brilliant move on the behalf of the MoveOn/Dean/etc. (same thing) organizations. They'll narrrow it down to a great finalist and broadcast that. They eliminated the difficult and costly production phase.

I say: don't complain, start your own contest!
