The Big RNC Lie about Moveon

Posted on January 6, 2004 in Campaign 2004

It seems that the RNC wants everyone to know that Bush is like Hitler. The only place where you can see the ads submitted to the MoveOn contest is on their site! Moveon doesn’t want to send this message!:

Not only is the RNC campaign deceptive, it’s also totally disingenuous.
Yesterday, the New York Post ran a long opinion column focusing
exclusively on how much Presidential Candidate Howard Dean resembles
Hitler, even calling him “Herr Howie.” Of course, the RNC hasn’t issued a
condemnation of that. When close RNC ally Grover Norquist repeatedly
compared taxing the wealthy with the Holocaust in an interview on NPR, the
RNC was muted. And in 2002, the RNC and its allies were silent when
supporters of President Bush actually aired TV ads morphing the face of
Senator Max Cleland, a triple amputee as a result of wounds sustained in
Vietnam, into Osama bin Laden. Given such a transparently partisan track
record, the RNC’s moral outrage doesn’t mean a whole lot.

Obviously, MoveOn.org and its 1.7 million members are now on the
right-wing radar. They are going to do everything they can do to silence
us, and we simply won’t let it happen. Smear tactics and campaigns of
misinformation have no place in American democracy.

When you hear a Republican whine in a public place, stand up and tell the truth. Trust in other adults to make up their own minds.
