Remember back in 2004 when that 30-second online commercial came out comparing Bush to Hitler?
MoveOn.Org (our name is our address) denounced the spot, said it was in poor taste, and yanked it from their website.
The
controversial spot used
a tape recording of the Nazi leader speaking while it showed images of Hitler and German military prowess during World War II. At the end of the ad, a photo of Bush raising his hand to take the oath of office is seen.
"A nation warped by lies. Lies fuel fear. Fear fuels aggression. Invasion. Occupation. What were war crimes in 1945 is foreign policy in 2003," the ad said.
Well Republicans were
outraged. RNC Chairman Ed Gillespie said
"This is the worst and most vile form of political hate speech. Those are the kind of tactics we're seeing on the left today in support of these Democratic presidential candidates."
Gillespie called on all nine Democratic candidates to repudiate the ad.
Sooooooooo...
Flash forward several years to, Oh, I don't know, let's say...today...and guess who's comparing Hitler to a Presidential candidate? One guess.
FOX News.
I'm shocked.
My friend, the Brit, from the United Kingdom of Great Prattlers, (I say lovingly) has
posted an amazing video from
FOXATTACKS showing how FOX News is comparing Obama to Hitler and Saddam Hussein.
So where's Gillespie now?
