"Things hit a new low this week when USA Next, a conservative group lobbying on seniors issues, decided to take a big swing at the AARP. Supporters of the President’s plan are angry with AARP because it has opposed the President’s call for private accounts that workers could divert Social Security payroll taxes into. So USA Next hired some of the consultants who crafted ads for Swift Boat Veterans for Truth and produced a web ad that said the AARP’s “Real Agenda” is opposition to U.S. soldiers in Iraq and support of gay marriage. The ad fails to mention the grounds for its accusations: That the AARP opposed an Ohio amendment banning gay marriage last November. The ARRP actually has no position on gay marriage; it opposed the amendment because it also banned civil unions, domestic partnerships and any other legal recognition of unmarried couples—including heterosexual couples—living together.
