Move On.Org - A Hate Bush Contest

[Walter]

I am on their mailing list so I get all their great stuff.

MoveOn is the outfit that guaranteed the dismal failure of the Recall effort in California because of their ability to mobilize an overwhelming campaign against it.

Their success is legendary. ;D

-------------------------------

Dear MoveOn member,

Today, MoveOn.org Voter Fund is launching Bush in 30 Seconds, a political TV ad contest to help us find the most creative, clear and memorable ideas for ads that tell the truth about George Bush's policies. You don't have to be trained in the art of filmaking to participate, you just need to be ready, willing, and able to turn your clever ideas into a real 30 second ad. We want to run ads that are of the people, for the people, and by the people.

Joining us in this effort is a great panel of celebrity judges, including Jack Black, Michael Moore, Donna Brazile, Gus Van Sant, Michael Stipe, Margaret Cho, and Moby (there's a full list on the site below). MoveOn members will pick 15 finalists; the panelists will pick the winning ad and help generate some good press coverage for it.

The prize? Just in case getting your work seen by our judges and thousands on our web site isn't enough, we'll put the winning ad on TV during the week of Bush's State of the Union Address. All 15 finalists will also be featured in an email to the MoveOn membership. The ad doesn't need to have TV production values -- it's the idea that counts. We'll reshoot the winning ad if we need to in order to air it.

Last week, we launched a fundraising campaign to to take the truth about George Bush's policies to voters in battleground states. The response has been phenomenal -- over $2.3 million of our $10 million goal came in in under three days. Your contributions will help us get our first ads on the air in swing states in a matter of days. Now we need your help to ensure that the campaign is truly creative.

Interested in making a 30-second spot for Bush in 30 Seconds? Check out the website below for more details. Know someone who might be willing and able to make a great ad? Please pass this message on.

You can learn more about the contest and get the complete guidelines at:
www.bushin30seconds.org/

If you have an idea for an ad, but not the time or the equipment to shoot it, you can post your ideas on our discussion board at:
www.bushin30seconds.org/ideaswap.html

Willing to help spread the word? Download the poster at the link below, print up a bunch of copies, and post it where likely participants might see it.

$25 donation by $25 donation, MoveOn members are changing the political landscape. We're reminding the political establishment of the immense power of people working together. But even more powerful than our money are our ideas. The next "Daisy" ad is out here somewhere. Please help us find it.

Good luck and have fun!

Sincerely,
--Carrie, Eli, Joan, Noah, Peter, Wes, and Zack

This is real - it's not a parody!!!

BTW, does anyone know what this "Daisy" ad is to which they refer? Also, look at the judge panel. Makes me choke up with pride (or something) that we have such selfless patriots in our country

[MO]

Moveon is a joke. As long as these people keep campaigning on the "we hate Bush" platform and continue to spout out their treasonous rhetoric, Bush will win reelection. The Democratic party is now to the left of Lenin. The communist party is voting Democrat.

Get yourself on the e-mail list for the DNC, too. They are a scream. Great comic relief. ;D

[Nemesis]

Actually, I go on freeconservatives.com to laugh. Of course after I'm done laughing I suddenly realize that these are real people and I become very very scared.

[Walter]

Here's a direct link to Free Conservative.

Nemesis, I just checked it out and found it interesting; not well designed but interesting.

Why do you find it scary? Because thay aren't sponsoring a hate Lieberman commercial but are actually discussing positive issues and matters?

The unbridled fury of the MoveOn site is unmatched by any legitimate conservative site. MoveOn lost it during the California recall, where they raised millions (they say) in their effort to stop the recall. Wonder how much they really raised and how that money was spent?

Further, where is the MoveOn discussion board? Why are they afraid of feedback?

Finally, did you see the link on top of this board Draft Gore? Strange that a conservative board is willing to do that, especially when the hate spewing from MoveOn would never brook any promotion of the evil conservatives.

[Nemesis]

I go on free conservatives to laugh the same reason mo goes on move on.org. And no, actually most of the conservatives here are quite nice, although I've met my fair share of psychos from both sides.

[Walter]

Nemesis says: "...actually most of the conservatives here are quite nice..."

Sounds like more LEFT WING RHETORIC!

(Actually, Nemesis is right. We conservatives are really very nice!)

[Phil D]

Ugh, moveon.org and Gore, ssssiccckkkening!

Once again, Al Grrrore proves himself the biggest idiot that ever ran for president! Hmmm... I wonder who he's endorsing! I get ill every time I think that he could have been our president, and it will be the same if "Special K" isn't soundly whooped this time around.

The liberals I know at work swallow all the poisonous hatred these scoundrels spit out. If one is to believe the polls, the Bush-haters are winning the war of meaningless accusations against Bush's character. Yet as we see the snowball grow, and the lies turn into stories akin to evil aliens having taken over his mind, the populace will see these idiots for who they are, and only the mindless masses that the dems bused to the polls will vote against Bush.

Once again, they will try to steal the election from him, and once again, he will previl and they will accuse him of the election fraud that only they themselves are guilty of. *sigh*



I have a feeling that this time around, things will get violent. These peaceniks who accuse conservatives of "HATE" (sic--spelled this way it's a verb, not a noun) will turn their own hatred into action that rivals the violence inherent in Islam, a formerly noble religion that once stood up for the rights of the innocent but now is used as a justification to kill and maim innocents. The hatred of liberals for Bush may soon match the hatred that arabs have for Jews (because they are the 'legitimate' descendants of Abraham and everyone knows it).

Liberals have no tolerance for people who have the courage to actually do battle with evil. "All that is necessary for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing" is a trite and meaningless phrase to them--they'd rather have John Kerry's war on terror--how sad, they'd rather lose it. And they'd rather turn America into a 3rd world nation and try to pin the blame on Bush than to do what's best for the country. There's no better word for those who promote anti-American actions in wartime than "traitor".

I'd better quit whining before I get as drunk as Gore got when giving his 100 proof whine-o-rama for John Kerry.

[MO]

Liberals have no tolerance for people who have the courage to actually do battle with evil.

You just summed up liberals in one sentence!

Welcome!


"The party of partial-birth abortion is still fuming at the photos from Abu Ghraib. Unborn children don't survive the torture of abortion, but images of violence done to them never make it to the desks of Democrats. The party of Abu Ghraib in the womb did interrupt its outrage over barbarism abroad long enough this week to tout barbarism at home. The human rights abuse of abortion remains the centerpiece of the Democratic party's platform. John Kerry simultaneously assured his supporters that as president he would speedily remove American soldiers from the "death zone" of Iraq and preserve the death zone at home protected under the penumbras of the U.S. Constitution. 'I will not appoint somebody with a 5-4 court who's about to undo Roe v. Wade. I've said that before,' he said. Not to worry, abortionists: John Kerry won't apply the Geneva Convention to unborn children. He won't send the Red Cross to visit your Planned Parenthood clinics... Enemy combatants have rights under their platform; unborn children don't. Why is Abu Ghraib "un-American" and abortion as American as apple pie? Shouldn't a civilized nation be consistent?" --George Neumayr

[LIBERALMORON]

Roe v. Wade means that America is safe for women to choose whether or not they want to have a child.

The Geneva Convention is supposed to make sure that captors do not act like savages when they capture an enemy.

Comparing the two does not make any sense, and goes back to the old conservative trick of talking about something completely incongrous with the argument being presented. Geneva Convention vs. Abortion? Come on....You guys just want to bring it back to the home turf.

It's like comparing, oh I don't know....Apples and Oranges?

[MO]

The two are not being compared except to illustrate how liberals defend evil but don't bother to defend the most innocent and vulnerable among us.

[LIBERALMORON]

Unfortunately then, this comes down to a debate over abortion, which I am sure you are aware of my views, and I aware of yours, and the fact that no amount of arguing for a few days over a message board will change eithers view.

[Satan]

If you want your posts to stand, don't cuss at me!
MO

[Bored of your game]

Lovely. You call honest Americans "traitors" and pitch a hissy fit because someone said a bad word. A bleeped bad word. Care to debate the points I made before you get thrown off your high horse?

[MO]

Maybe after your mommy washes your mouth out with soap.

add on edit-

I don't call honest Americans "traitors." That word is reserved for liberals. I didn't pitch a "hissy fit." I deleted your abusive post. That's my job and my prerogative. You're obviously not here for debate. You're here to name call and drop f bombs. Yes, both sides are guilty in the degeneration of debate so common in politics right now. But this is a conservative board! Act respectful because we're all guests. If you're a liberal you're even more of a guest. Liberals who want honest debate should practice what they preach about "tolerance" and either stay off of conservative boards or not sling arrows.

[back in a black helicoptor]

I'm a moderate. I have little patience for anyone who demonizes those whom disagree with them without just cause.

My apologies for my earlier rudeness, I've been debating extremists on both sides of the fence without a single one ever actually taking into consideration the other's side. Not an excuse-just the explanation I owe you.

That said, I don't believe in debating with kid gloves.

The hatred of liberals for Bush may soon match the hatred that arabs have for Jews

Liberals are ideological terrorists, but-

"All that is necessary for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing" is a trite and meaningless phrase to them

Make up your mind.

haters are winning the war of meaningless accusations against Bush's character

Perhaps you'd care to explain why his "Crusade against Diplomacy" is a responsible stance to be taking right now? Sen. Lugar (R), and George Bush sr (R) both have spoken out against the way the Bush administration has turned potential allies against us. This is not a summer action movie, he is not Bruce Willis, and we'll need all the help we can get in stopping terrorists.

Since we've invaded Iraq, 50 new terrorist groups have formed. Al Quada's membership is swelling.

And we're forced to explain the sexual tortures in our prisons (which we refused to allow to be inspected), the fact that we hit civilian targets while missing our decapitation strikes, and why when Iraq needed us the most as riots tore apart their cities, our troops were ordered to sit back and watch...

...and secure the oil wells.

Do you have any idea how bad that makes us look? How monsterously irresponsible it was?

They honestly believe we've called for a religious war over there...we need to go above and beyond the call of duty to prove otherwise.

There is no shame in wanting a new president in office. It's not treason-quite the opposite. It's demanding only the best and most qualified people take the office.

only the mindless masses that the dems bused to the polls will vote against Bush.

Given that the arguments against Bush's behavior cross party lines, and the arguments for him frequently involve calling the other side names...

I'd say you need to think about who's not thinking.
