GeorgeWBush.com, the official web site of the President's re-election campaign, is using Hitler to attach Kerry. This is an outrage. In the end, however, I think that this ad hurts Bush more than Kerry, and so I encourage you to go watch it. Mean-spirited, partisan crap that uses images of Hitler, which were taken from the MoveOn.org web site. ("MoveOn invited people to make ads and submit them to its Web site. Some idiot spliced images of Bush together with images of Adolf Hitler, evidently trying to make Bush look like a warmonger. His submissions, which arrived with 1,500 others—too many to be screened quickly—were posted on the contest Web site. As soon as MoveOn.org realized what was in the ad, they removed and denounced it.
This ad does not help America. It makes Bush, and unfortunately the rest of us by association, look like meanspirited idiots. What do you think Europeans and the rest of the world think when they see Hitler being used in American politics for attack ads?
