Let Ari Fleisher know what you think of his propaganda...
Edited on Wed Aug-22-07 05:48 PM by Neecy
I found this comment on KOS regarding the toll-free number they flash at the end of their Soviet-style ads:

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.


Well, guess what? His organization has generously uploaded all of their ads on youtube and you can both rate them AND let them know what you think of their nasty propaganda blitz. They can't refuse to 'patch you through' here:

2. Did you see IT on Hardball
He looked like crap, and he was back to his spinning self.
Paul Reichoff tore IT a new one. Saying it is time to STOP using the troops as political props.
HEAR, HEAR!

4. I loved the way Mike Barnicle put him down and Paul Reichoff
was outstanding!! When Mike asked him how many Iraqis were on the planes that hit the WTC, Ari said something to the effect that "I didn't say they attacked us." But if you noticed on the ad, it said "They attacked us!" That ad and Ari are despicable.

21. He's drunk so much of his own Kool-Aid, he doesn't even see
how incredibly lame his arguments are (paraphrasing):

Mike: Ari, How many Iraqi's were on the planes that flew into the twin towers?

Ari: Well, it wasn't about Iraqis then, but it's about Iraqi terrorism NOW (of course you stupid dork, that's because we've caused it by starting this whole clusterf**k in the first place)

Ari Cont'd: Saying we shouldn't be fighting this war is like saying we shouldn't have been fighting WWII against the Germans because the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor. (WTF????) :wtf:

I couldn't listen anymore because my head exploded.

11. I not only rated these but commented on one too!
Will all Hell break loose now? I can't stand the propaganda of Iraq having attacked us on 9/11 so I said the video was deceptive altho I gave respect to the familial and personal sacrifice. Well, I am tired of this crap, over,and over, and over and over ad infinitum. OK....now I feel better.

14. Comments not being posted at YouTube
but you can do the following:

1 downrate the video.
2 Flag as inapprorpiate.
3 Reason: Hate Speech.

Reason? Connecting 9/11 to Iraq is irrational hate speech.

24. They aren't going to flag them.....I got some kind of "if my view
is appropriate'??? What is that? Oh, well...at least we know from the get go they aren't considering any of our responses or ratings, for that matter. I'm going to try something else. If I find a way, I'll be back.

"Pure pro-war propaganda brought to you by ari fleischer, former whitehouse spokesliar."

"Still lying for a living, huh ari?"

Seriously doubt they will let my comment get past their censor.

22. Ari couldn't even name the soldier that they used
I was so glad that Paul Reichoff made that point. I was so mad when Mike asked him, who was the soldier and Ari said "I don't have his name in front of me".

When will these soldier realize that they are being used and used some more.

26. What's interesting is he compains about mentioning the case for war because "that's so yesterday"
yet invokes 911 AGAIN, in spite of the f*cking fact that Iraq had NOTHING to do with 911.

29. I am probably nuts and way too cynical
Edited on Thu Aug-23-07 06:15 PM by Liberalynn
but is there any proof that these are even real vets? I wouldn't put it past the pukes to hire and pay performers to "stage" these ads. Shades of "Wag the Dog?"

These ads are running every few minutes in my area and I find them disgusting.

I got so furious, I felt like throwing my chair through the set at this pack of lies and crap.

My Mom thought I was going to have a stroke. :rofl:
