MoveOn Ad Targets 'US Occupation of Iraq'
2005-11-22
(CNSNews.com) - A democrat front liberal advocacy group plans to air a new TV ad over the Thanksgiving holiday attacking Republicans for "failing to offer a plan" to end "the U.S. occupation of Iraq."
We have a plan. It's called "Win".
MoveOn.org Political Action said its new ad "echoes Democrats' calls for an exit plan."

The ad will run nationwide on CNN -- the cable network that flashed a big black X over Vice President Dick Cheney's face during a live feed of Cheney's speech to the American Enterprise Institute on Monday.
Oh, that's OK then. No one will see it.
The 30-second ad opens with a family seated around the Thanksgiving table, heads bowed in prayer. "Some folks won't be home this holiday season," the announcer says. "Cut to a shot of forlorn soldiers in Iraq with mess kits," the press release said. The announcer says 150,000 American men and women are "stuck in Iraq."

Enter President Bush and Vice President Cheney: "Their president misled America to send them in and has no plan to get them out," the script says, adding that "Democrats in Congress are leading the way home."
How'd that vote on pulling the troops out go?
The video returns to the Thanksgiving table, focusing on one empty chair: "Where are the Republicans?" it asks.
Fighting Islamofachism, where are the Dimocrats?
The tag line urges Americans, "Tell your representative. Support our troops. Bring them home."

In his speech on Monday, Vice President Cheney urged Americans to remember why we're fighting in Iraq. Debate is welcome, Cheney said. But he called it dishonest and reprehensible to suggest -- as some Democratic senators have -- that the president or anyone in the administration purposely misled the American people on prewar intelligence.

#15  MoveOn brings in cash. The Dem leadership needs cash so they appease that constituency wherever they can.

That only 3 folks voted for immediate withdrawal has to be a pain in the side of the hardcore, though.

#14  During the past week the moonbats have been hitting the comment sections of the Iraqi blogs hard with the pull out message.

#13  I think that it is wonderful how MoveOn tacks so closely to the statements of the Dem party. These positions are not consistent with those of the average American. They will not further the Dem's lust for power. Instead, they will continue to marginalize the Dems. Keep it up MoveOn. Traitorous swine.

#11  I remember something about a challenger to McKinney...our only hope is for another competitor in the primaries (that was how Denise Majette won McKinney's seat, then she got greedy and wanted a Senate seat - which will NEVER happen again in GA). That District is a definite Democrat every time, so unless McKinney's challenged at the primary level, she won't lose. I'm kind of with Neal Boortz on this one....we do need to keep a few moonbats around, just to be able to quote their dementia and show people how batty their ideas really are.

#9  Wasn't some returning GI going to challenge the moonbat/anti-semite McKinney? Might be someone I'd contribute to.

#8  Tar and feathers. On an earlier thread, a commenter said that humiliation was not enough, but it is a start. He wanted harsher measures.

If the moonbats began to experience a personal cost they might reconsider. The right needs to speak out. The moonbattery has been unanswered for too long. If it continues the way it has, it will culminate with civil war, an outcome that we don't want.

#5  Very well stated, tu! And I, for one, as a resident of GA am COMPLETELY embarassed by Cynthia McKinney (D-Looneyville, GA). I just praise God every day that I don't live in her district (she was 1 of the 3 yes votes)!

#2  If there are any orgs similar to MoveOn but on the opposite side of the spectrum, they should make an opposing commercial. These MoveOn ads must NOT go unanswered.

#1  This brings to mind the term "reinforcing defeat".

Maybe Karl Rove actually *is* running Moveon.org.
