re: In a campaign for re-election, there's no reason to hold the incumbent to a higher standard just because he is the incumbent. Moveon.org has made it their explicit and unapologetic purpose to get rid of Bush, and Bush should be expected to fight fire with fire.
Come on man, you can see the difference. Moveon had a contest where folks submitted home made ads, somebody put up a Hitler/Bush ad, and it was taken down immediately, and disclaimed by the organization. And this wasn't the candidate.
On the other hand the Bush puts up a web ad that does a Hitler/Kerry thing. And keeps it up, showing intention. It's sleazy as hell. Has nothing to do with issues, and has nothing to do with Kerry. Just blatant trashing by association, aimed at really stupid people.
You've got to start reviewing the ethics of this guy. Can you imagine Reagan doing that, Kennedy, Carter, Eisenhower, Nixon, Ford, LBJ... no, those guys had respect for the office. Kerry wouldn't do it, as just a candidate.
What's next, mount a sign on the White House "Kerry is a Nazi".
At best you have to question his judgement. At worst you have to consider him a slimeball that will do anything to get reelected.
