What  MoveOn.org  wanted was for people to submit 30-second ads that were critical of President Bush, but what the  liberal-leaning  organization got was a controversy over one entry that compared Bush to Adolf Hitler... RNC Chairman Ed Gillespie called the ad, \"the worst and most vile form of political hate speech.\"

\"We agree that the two ads in question were in poor taste and deeply regret that they slipped through our screening process,\" [a MoveOn.org] statement said.

It's getting them plenty of publicity, but their claim of ignorance is a stretch...

Anyway, my favorite of the fifteen finalists is probably Bush's Repair Shop, with Army of One and Bring 'Em On as runners-up. (Quicktime high-bandwidth. Low-bandwidth users can see them here.)

I've watched all of the finalists, and I agree that I like "Bring 'Em On". I also like "In My Country", but the one that had the most effect on me was "Imagine", but I think that Bring Em On is the one that will resonate with Americans more.

Hey, what do I know!! According to Pat Buchanen, I'm a Soviet Canukistan Commie Fag.

My favorite was the "No Billionaire left Behind" one -- I couldn't stop laughing at the kids busting open their piggy banks.

New move-on winning commercials

Just read about these in a local paper here called "The Inlander".
When you get to move-on home page click on "bush in 30 seconds", on the top left of the page.
Some ads will take a minute or 2 to load, faster with dsl and cable.
Thank goodness there was no Hitler ad included, which I denounce. But these are pretty good.

Actually, here's the newest outrage. a PARODY of the MoveOn.org spots, by Mark Spittle, that goes totally overboard. It's enraged conservatives who don't get that it's a JOKE (and originally against liberals' failure to say what they really feel):

Some of those conservatives ought to loosen up those red/white/blue panties they're wearing. Sheesh! rolleyes.gif
