Statement On Liberal Interest Group MoveOn.Org's Ad
ARLINGTON, VA - U.S. Senator John McCain's presidential campaign today released the following statement:
"It comes as no surprise that America's most liberal interest group would attack John McCain's belief that we cannot allow Iran to destroy Israel," said spokesman Matt David. "After all, MoveOn.org posted ads comparing President Bush to Hitler during the last presidential election."
MOVEON'S LONG RECORD OF LIBERAL EXTREMISM
In 2004, MoveOn Featured Two Ads Comparing President Bush To Hitler On Website
MoveOn Website Featured Two Ads Comparing President Bush To Adolf Hitler. "One ad begins with Adolf Hitler making speeches, until a picture of President Bush appears. Another also uses Nazi and Bush images, with the tag line: 'What were war crimes in 1945 is foreign policy in 2003.' The videos appeared on the Web site of MoveOn.Org's Voter Fund as part of a nationwide contest for an anti-Bush television ad on which the liberal group plans to spend a considerable sum." (Howard Kurtz, "Anti-Bush Ad Contest Includes Hitler Images," The Washington Post, 1/6/04)
Simon Wiesenthal Center's Rabbi Marvin Hier: MoveOn Ads "Shameful And Beyond The Pale [With] No Place In The Legitimate Discourse Of American Politics." (Simon Wiesenthal Center, "Simon Wiesenthal Center Criticizes MoveOn.Org For Posting Ad Comparing Bush To Hitler," Press Release, 1/4/04)
Anti-Defamation League's Abraham Foxman: MoveOn Ads "Vile And Outrageous" And MoveOn's Explanation "Hardly Comforting." (Anti-Defamation League, "Hitler Ad Should Never Have Appeared On MoveOn.Org," Press Release, 1/5/04)
MoveOn Director Zack Exley Called Response To Hitler Ad Controversy "Typical Republican Bulls--t." (Michael Hastings, "Getting Out The Stars," Newsweek, 1/13/04)
MoveOn Pushed For Peaceful Response To 9/11, Opposed Military Action Against Taliban In Afghanistan
After 9/11, MoveOn Petition Called For "Justice, Not Escalating Violence That Would Only Play Into The Terrorists' Hands." "Joan Blades of Berkeley, a founder of MoveOn.Org ... said her group had collected 30,000 signatures since the attacks Sept. 11 on a statement calling for 'justice, not escalating violence that would only play into the terrorists' hands.'" (Tony Pugh, "Against Tide, They Clamor For Peace," The Philadelphia Inquirer, 9/21/01)
MoveOn Petition Said Governments Harboring Terrorists Should Not Be "Held Unduly Accountable" For Actions Of Terrorist Groups Within Their Countries. "Furthermore, we assert that the government of a nation must be presumed separate and distinct from any terrorist group that may operate within its borders, and therefore cannot be held unduly accountable for the latter's crimes." (MoveOn.Org Website, http://www.moveon.org/peace/petition/petition.html, Accessed 12/17/03)
MoveOn Ran Ads Featuring Statue Of Liberty With Hood Over Its Head And Surrendering American Soldier In Iraq
MoveOn Ad Featured "Doctored Photo" Of Statue Of Liberty With Hood Over Head. "[MoveOn] used imagery they knew would be controversial: a digitally doctored photo of the Statue of Liberty, hooded to remind viewers of what happened to some Iraqis at Abu Ghraib prison as a narrator says 'something has gone terribly wrong' in Iraq. ... the liberal advocacy group MoveOn.org begins airing the ad, titled 'Fire Rumsfeld,' in 14 major cities today." (Mark Memmott, "Producers Decided Not To Use Abuse Images In Ad," USA Today, 5/23/04)
MoveOn Ad Depicted American Soldier Surrendering In Iraq. "[T]he liberal group MoveOn.org produced a TV ad titled 'Quagmire' asserting that Mr. Bush lacks plans to end the war. 'George Bush got us into this quagmire,' the narrator says as an American soldier sinks deeper into quicksand, rifle overhead in a posture that suggests surrender." (Todd J. Gillman, "History Of A 'Quagmire'" The Dallas Morning News, 9/27/04)

Ha! That all you got?! :) Hilarious but kind of pathetic that all McCain's shop has are RNC talking points that they've been re-hashing for the past 5 years... Actually, please keep saber rattling with Iran and promoting the war in Iraq! After all, you will then get the nomination and hit a BRICK WALL. Independents are deserting the GOP over this war faster than you can say, "oh..." Have a great wknd! :)
Your an Independent Mr. Anonymous? You sure sound like a liberal to me. You sound like Harry Reid. Are you Harry Reid?
If you think your dossier on MoveOn is good, wait until you see mine. (The cartoon of MoveOn as a Nazi rat is mine; please circulate it as widely as possible!)
MoveOn.org should have no credibility with anyone, given the racist, anti-Semitic, and anti-Catholic hate speech that MoveOn's people were exchanging on their now-disgraced Action Forum, and also the anti-Catholic hate cartoon (a derogatory picture of Pope Benedict) that MoveOn itself published in 2005. Why this organization still has any credibility whatsoever is beyond me.
Google on "MoveOn.org" and "Jew Lieberman" (that's "Jew" used as an epithet, not "Joe") and you will see what I mean. Googling "Catholic Pedophiles of America" also might be instructive; that's also courtesy of MoveOn's people.
Al Sharpton, the Black counterpart of Tom Metzger or David Duke (Aryan Nations and Klan respectively), is even worse.
