Did anyone SEE Ari Fliescher's video on Hardball???
he has a 15 million $$ propaganda campaign aimed at 20 plus states selling the idea of war war and more war-you know using the same old phrases like cutting and running. At the end of the commercial it shows a plane about to crash into the WTC, with the words written "they attacked us".Absolutely shameless and shameful...

1. Yes, and I thought Barnacle handled him well, though he wouldn't
answer. Mike asked him how many Iraqis were on those planes; Fleisher told him he's living in the pre-2002 mindset. :banghead: Then why the hell show the planes, Ari?

5. yea very convenient right Sis?
it's not OK to talk about and frame discussions in ways that don't benefit them...their shit has gotten SO old-and nobody's buying it anymore...I just hope the people in the 20 states they're targeting with that crap are smarter than that

9. They can't even come up with new material.
I saw Karl Rove on television a few nights ago calling liberals "effete snobs". That was taken straight from the 60's. People who didn't know what "effete" meant were using it in ever other sentence. I know they're almost done, because their writers have all resigned in disgust.

15. another tidbit from Kos...
Y'know that toll-free number they flash at the end? Well, this is what happens when you call:

Markos, you may have already seen this, but the operators answering the toll free number (1-877-222-8001) at the end of the pro-war ad targeting Republicans that started running today will only patch you through if you agree with the statement that “surrendering in Iraq will only open us up to terrorist attacks here at home.”

If you don’t agree with that statement, the operator won’t patch you through. She told me “we only help people who support the war” and hung up on me.


Actually, you CAN make anti-war comments - they've uploaded their ads to youtube, and you can have at 'em there...
