MOVEON.ORG awards

Some wonderful people out there... The pro-Democratic group moveon.org hosted an awards ceremony in Manhattan Monday 12th. A number of performers came to talk and present awards to people who submitted their Bush in 30 Seconds commercials. (This is the organization that posted three commercials comparing Bush to Hitler - these were quickly redacted but were posted on the Republican National Committee website for a few weeks) Some of the language of the presenters is abysmal... Matt Drudge has a partial transcript on his website here From Margaret Cho: bq. "Despite all of this stupid bullsh-- that the Republican National Committee, or whatever the f--- they call them, that they were saying that they're all angry about how two of these ads were comparing Bush to Hitler? I mean, out of thousands of submissions, they find two. They're like fu--ing looking for Hitler in a haystack. You now? I mean, George Bush is not Hitler. He would be if he fu--ing applied himself." big, extended applause) "I mean he just isn't." bq. "I think this last year has just pr oven how stupid Republicans are." (big applause) It gets worse... And these are the people who want to run our country. Who feel that they have what it takes to proactivly work on the world stage... Posted by DaveH at January 14, 2004 9:53 AM
