Great response proposed to latte-ad by Club for Growth.

[Eric J in MN]

librechik, in the middle of another thread, posted that the latte-ad should be responded to with an ad like:

George W. should take his

"environment-pollutin', job-exportin', cheap-foreign-labor-exploitin', tax-evadin', oil-burnin', Iraqi-killin', Constitution-shreddin', fear-mongering right wing freak show out of Washington and take it"

to the moon, where it belongs.

------------------------------------

Does anyone here have the phone number of someone with pull at the Dean campaign or the Move On organization to actually get this aired?

If so, please call that person with her suggestion.

3. You're kidding, right?

"Iraqi-killin', Constitution-shreddin'" - yes, that will play well with middle America. Yes, that will work well in the south.

If this is a serious example of what Dean folks think is an effective ad....

News flash - it ain't - unless of course getting destroyed in the GE is the goal, in which case it's a sure winner.

Lord, save us from ourselves.

4. ah, you're right

we should let bush set the paramaters and try to beat him at his own game...


silly us...



better vote for clark then!

5. No, by all means use your own parameters

Heaven forbid actual political strategy should come into play.

You might actually win if you did that, but that takes all the fun out of the revolution, eh?

"Do you here the people sing, singing the songs of angry men"

Remember how that turned out? Nice model to use, though.

6. I think it would work but it needs to be done without

"Iraqi-killing" or "Constitution-shredding" and bash him exclusively on the issues. Unfortunately, there is only 1 DUer for every 30 average swing voters.

7. Why not have the "Constitution-shredding" phrase for people

Why not have the "Constitution-shredding" phrase for people who care about civil liberties?

8. It would be wiser

and more effective to stay above childish name calling in a like-mannered response ad.
Actually I think the latte-drinking ad is funny and highlights how out of touch the pubbies are. I actually thought it was a tongue-in-cheek ad at first and didn't realize it was supposed to be serious.

9. Dukakis thought the Willie Horton and Pledge of Allegiance attacks were

Dukakis thought the Willie Horton and Pledge of Allegiance attacks were beneath response, and look where it got him.

14. Here's one from the Dean Blog...

Cracked me up...

[hellhathnofury]

15. Agreed.

She's wearing pink and yellow.

16. Nice way to exploit a child

as if a 3 year old has the intellectual capacity to make such a decision.
It's a bit offensive.

[hellhathnofury]

17. It's cute. Deal with it.

[NewYorkerfromMass]

19. unoriginal and tasteless

20. Oh crap... get over yourself... it is cute.

I know you want to see evil in everything regarding Dean, but lighten up.

[spooky3]

18. why not send it to all the candidates and see who picks it up?
