Drudge is making a huge issue of the Moveon.org issue
It is his intention to make this 'the most downloaded video on the Internet tomorrow'.
I'm sure he wont be the only one. What do you think the response will be? Are there any freeper equivalents readily available?

1. Good.
The RNC bandwidth needs to be used heavily.

2. Drudge has a tendency to act like an idiot
He can't be blamed for it, it's just the way he is...

3. I hope you're right. He's expressing 'shock and awe'
because Gore and others have mentioned the site.

4. More details please?
I don't want to give Drudge another hit by going to his site. What video is he talking about?

5. It was one of moveon.org's anti Bush ads...
Aparently, it showed a photo of Hitler that morphs into Bush, while Hitler can be heard making a speach in the back ground. It has been pulled from the site, but not before Drudge and a few others got it and posted it.

8. Prediction: It will get play on Faux and OxyRush tomorrow
...and perhaps make O'Really's sho. Why? Admittedly rather shocking, if a bit over the top, it's nonetheless uni-dimensional and will be easy to spin, and as well easy for freepers to comprehend.

9. I wonder if it's copyright infringement...
...for the RNC to put that on their site in it's entirety?

Maybe a lawsuit is in order.

10. So what?
Many people feel that this country is heading to wards a fascist state. How these RW people react are just mind blowing. That is if you do not believe they as a group have something to hide.

14. Ugh, not a very good video
Edited on Mon Jan-05-04 12:44 AM by Woodstock
The fascist overtones & God told me to do it parallels are OK in my book - that Bush is moving the US toward fascism & puts on a phoney Christian act rings true (we all know there's nothing Christian about Bush.)

But the striking back at Al Qaida as a bad thing? If anyone had it coming, they did.

Then the mention of Saddam right after? That's just going to reinforce the myth that the two are linked.

One was something that needed to be done. The other was illegal, immoral, unnecessary, unwise, ...

Not a good video, but even so - it may generate traffic to the site/raise awareness among the redeemable sheep.

13. Right-wingers compared Clinton to Hitler all the time.
Especially regarding gun control.

15. What about "Hitlery" Clinton?
Am I the only one who's heard of freepers calling her that?

16. Syndicated radio talk master Neal Boortz calls Hillary, Hitlery
The media needs to be reminded of that when they try to make a big deal out of this.

17. Y'see, the name 'Hilary' is similar to 'Hitler',
who was a very bad man. They really don't think she's bad in the same way as Hitler, but the names are close enough to make them feel very clever with nothing more than a simple, moronic, pedestrian, phonetic similiarity. And most of them actually *are* older than 7!
