I Think My MoveOn.org Ad Was One Of Them That Ticked Off The RNC....

A BUZZFLASH READER COMMENTARY
by Todd Mattson

....and boy does that make my day. Thing is, I didn't really state that Bush is Hitler, nor do I believe that. I do, however, know that he has said some rather scary stuff, and his administration is hell bent on turning America into a police state. Here's the copy from my ad, which appears as titles which fade from one to the other -

"To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public." - Theodore Roosevelt (8 seconds)

"There ought to be limits to freedom." - George W. Bush (3 seconds)

"People can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked and denounce the pacifists for a lack of patriotism...." - Nazi war criminal Hermann Goering (8 seconds)

"If this were a dictatorship, it would be a heck of a lot easier, just so long as I'm the dictator." - George W. Bush (4 seconds)

"They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty or safety." - Benjamin Franklin (4 seconds)

Don’t let George W. Bush run roughshod over our constitutional freedoms. (3 seconds)

END

So George, if you don't want to be compared to Hitler, then quit saying crap like that, learn what patriotism REALLY means and quit mixing up nationalism with it, and call off Ashcroft and his anti-freedom dogs.

Otherwise, we Americans are going to get the idea that you have other motives in addition to being the most corrupt president ever....

Thanks,

Todd Mattson
