By the way FOX said at the end of the "finalists" (as you call it) stated it was by MOVEON.org. The bushnazi piece was by one of the finalists, according to Drudge. Drudge, who told you where that bushnazi clip could be found -- that is, on the website of a person who had submitted one of the thousand entries to the MoveOn contest... but a different ad entirely, one called Army of One. Which btw I imagine you think shouldn't be shown, too. I know you, and Laz, interpreted the Drudge piece you posted as meaning the bushnazi clip was one of MoveOn's finalists. But when I read it, I observed that it said otherwise, though it did use an exclamation mark. Now I think you're saying that "Fox," unlike the piece you posted, says that the bushnazi ad is one of the MoveOn finalists. Since MoveOn apologized deeply for the first one, removed it, and promised to institute a better screening, that would suprise me. If Fox or anyone else who didn't hysterically misread Drudge's piece (which was of course misleading on purpose) said that the bushnazi clip Drudge referred to was a "MoveOn finalist," why didn't you post that, instead of the Drudge piece which says otherwise?

...the "finalists" (as you call it) ... You have some objection to calling the finalists 'finalists,'? What would you call the finalists? That's what Drudge called them, even, because that's what they are. One will be voted as winner. In the meantime, they're not all winners. They're the finalists. Right? Drudge's headline said, "NEW VIDEO UNCOVERED: MOVEON.ORG FINALIST IS PRODUCER OF ANOTHER BUSH/HITLER AD.") Sandintoes, I'd very much like your reaction to a few things. It is truly a sad state of affairs when SI members find acceptable routinely comparing US Senators to Hitler, don't you think? Sandintoes, what do you think of SI posters who do that? Sandintoes, what do you think of the NY Post comparing Howard Dean to Hitler? Sandintoes, what do you think of supporters of President Bush actually paying for and airing TV ads morphing the face of Senator Max Cleland, a triple amputee as a result of wounds sustained in Vietnam, into Osama bin Laden? Sandintoes, what do you think of the fact that the RNC and its allies raisied no objection at all to this "comparison"? Neither did any SI RWers, I bet. Sandintoes, what do you think of Grover Norquist's repeatedly comparing taxing the wealthy with the Holocaust? I see that you, sandintoes, just accused "the liberals" of treason. Oh wait, no, you just said it was hard for you to "listen to their comment without calling it treason." Ahem. Well I think it is a sad state of affairs when people who disagree with you and oppose the president are iyo traitors. IMO Bush is a goofus. And he lied us into a war. Am I a traitor for saying so?
