MoveOn.org & Baby Alex

Postby bedbug on 06/17/08, 11:43 pm

MoveOn.org is running some new election ads. One features a young mother holding her infant son, Alex. She talks about her son for several seconds then says, "John McCain says we will be in Iraq for 100 years. I wonder if he is counting on Alex. If so, you can't have him." (My quote may not be exact.)

Granted this is a ridiculously theatrical ad. But, even the ridiculous requires rebuttal at times.

Mr. Soros I want to ask you a what if. In 1775, what if American mothers had collectively said, not my son?

The Baby Alex advertisement is so pathetic that it’s almost funny. Almost. It is another fine example of how this group distorts and misrepresents to try to get attention. The only people it will appeal to are the whinny Cindy Sheehan types.  Anyone with an ounce of intelligence understands what the McCain statement was about to begin with and this should sufficiently tick off anyone with a connection to anything military.

I like it. I move that Gyorgy, from here forth, be the official moniker for Comrade Soros.
Does anyone wish to second the motion?

No, that can't be.  GOPER said that McCain-Feingold had fixed the problem of "soft money" in federal elections and that the only 527s left were small and insignificant.  Moveon.org therefore cannot possibly be a factor in this election.  He said "official studies" have proved this point so there is nothing more to discuss.  Move on.  There is nothing here to see.

Yes, but to children of the Cold War it has a sinister empire of evil sound.

I wonder has anyone bothered to inform MoveOn that their organization is insignificant?

The motion is seconded. The floor is now open for discussion on this matter.
