DRUDGE has discovered my "Bush is not a Nazi - so stop saying that.." flash animation and is linking that to the fact that we are finalists in the Bush in 30 Seconds contest -- this is just too rich!

Traffic is THROUGH THE ROOF..

I can't wait to take these bastards ON!!!

Ever heard of PRESCOTT BUSH? OH? WHY NOT?

He TRADED WITH THE ENEMY - this is GOOD!!

3. My favorite along with Pentagoon. No, he is NOT a Nazi, so stop!
:evilgrin:

Actually, seriously, there is not a doggone thing they can say is wrong about the flash. And the Spike Jones music is the icing on the cake.

5. You couldn't pay
for advertising this good.

Now we can all say we knew you when.

Hope you have a great time at the awards in NYC. Sounds like it's going to be a great party.

8. Good job man
I wrote a public forum in my local newspaper in November about the Prescott Bush link to Hitler and I received retaliation from some very hardcore Republicans in my town. I felt a little crazy but I know I was doing the right thing and that felt good! I then wrote a second public forum letter and gave the public the john-loftus.com link so they could see it for themselves.

It's so funny that the Repubs have called Hillary "Hitlery" and Rush always talks about "feminazis" and called Clinton followers "Clintonistas" and attempted to defame Daschle and Cleland comparng them to Osama bin Laden and nothing is ever said. so we give them a taste of their own medicine and they go ballistic. Figure that one out?? :shrug:

NEW VIDEO UNCOVERED: MOVEON.ORG FINALIST IS PRODUCER OF ANOTHER BUSH/HITLER AD
Wed Jan 07 2004 17:06:59 ET

One of the finalists of the MoveOn.org ad contest is responsible for another heinous web video that compares Bush to Hitler, the DRUDGE REPORT has learned.

An ad by "Take Back the Media" is one of 15 Finalists in MoveOn.org's Bush in 30 Seconds Commercial Contest. Produced by ... , The ARMY OF ONE flash animation has been chosen out of over 1000 submission by nearly 3 million votes online.

But currently streaming on the Take Back site with ARMY OF ONE is another shocking advert produced by ... -- alleging Bush/Nazi ties!

http://www.takebackthemedia.com/bushnonazi.html



Drudge is on crack. He even mentioned your real name (form of weak freeper intimidation also used by some posters on DU in the GD2004 forum).

Good job, SM. Congratulations! Hope the sheeple stick around your site for awhile and open up their minds.

On edit: Your traffic must be through the roof! I can't access it, even on broadband.

10. I saw the notice go up in freeperville about Drudge's article
Put on your asbestos when reading any new emails, you now know where they have been.

I will not link to that gawd-awful place, but here is the url you can cut and paste if you are curious about their comments:

Now...

From the Nazi message board


This is what they compare the president to...My God, these people are sick.
I see them as juvenile. Read any high school or college newspaper column or letter to the editor--invariably, the author will engage in Reductio ad Hitlerum, i.e. tie their argument to Hitler somehow. It's an immature and overused (and, hence, ineffective) way of adding drama and a sense of urgency to an argument, e.g. "anyone that thinks differently is a Nazi", or "doing something different than what I proscribe will turn our society into Nazi Germany". Ho-hum.

Now take a look at who's creating these ads--immature college kids and/or adults at that maturity level.

13. They fell for the old bait and switch!
Drudge sends them to your site hoping to find some nasty lies about Bush and then you give them nothing but the truth!

You will open a lot of eyes today.

15. What the hell does Drudge mean with this garbled statement?
" One of the finalists of the MoveOn.org ad contest is responsible for another heinous web video that compares Bush to Hitler, the DRUDGE REPORT has learned."

It's like he's being purposefully misleading...it's just not a clear statement...it could be taken to mean that Symbolman also produced the first ad that created the controversy....

21. Man that's a huge-ass headline!
Enjoy the ride, man! B-)

I'm curious as to how many people are discovering the truth thanks to these RWers. Anybody can check these facts and find out they're true. Why do they keep putting it out there? What am I missing here?

Anyway, woohoo!!! :yourock:

Can't wait to hear about the awards program. Have fun!!!

30. Next thing, you'll be asked back on O'Reilly again!
Go Symbolman!

Sure is interesting how excited the wingnuts get over an analogy that many of us have been making for quite awhile. Like they just "discovered" that a large segment of the American public believes GW Bush is a nazi. Gee, maybe if Zogby or CNN had phrased one of their many phony polls this way, they might have been surprised by the response.

Anyone care to guess what such a poll's numbers might have been?

My father fought with the 100th Division in 1945. He fought plenty of nazis. My cousin was a pilot who spent 4 years as a German POW. My family knows what nazis are. And I say Bush is a nazi. I bet more Americans agree with me than with Drudge.

But he wouldn't know, would he? Because he doesn't have the guts to ask the question.

Simple as that.

For all the hits your getting on your site...
some one should do a Flash for Drudge i think they he will really flip his wig.
After all the man is on Karl Roves Speed Dail anytime he needs to make up something about the Dems and left when ol Bushie is in hot water.
Drudge is nothing more than a Right wing whore..he knows it.

37. Think we should tell Drudge about Triumph of the Wimp?
I love Stop Saying That, but love Wimp even more.

The Kick Me sign on Hitler's back and the "Chickenhawk in Chief-AWOL 1972" inscription on the A-6 is just classic.

I think he'd piss his pants if he found out that "Bush is not a Nazi--so stop saying that" isn't the only Hitler-Bush comparison on Symbolman's site.

38. you're in Salon's letters page too!
The irony here is that, as I read your column, I was becoming less critical of Moveon.org and actually beginning to consider whether they had something thoughtful and provocative to add to the popular political discourse.

Then I found out that one of the finalists of the contest is the author of this ad. (bold is link to TBTM's Bush is NOT a Nazi, so Stop saying that! flash)

Face it: The loony left has highjacked the Democratic Party and they are there to stay.

that may be contributing to the traffic!

40. WHO-HAH! Symbolman!!!! But does Bush=Castro?
Both administrations are spitting tacks after satirists have embarressed them. Some in the Bushit administation may be particularly peeved because in adopting Castro's press policies they thought they were getting quality product.
