"Coffin Ad" so offensive to Republicans they won't stop promoting it.

1. I hope they all provided the link!

(you go right ahead, you idiots!!)

[gully]

3. That's the one thing they're missing. I'm sure it's because the ad

is actually effective and not offensive to those who already know people actually die in wars.

[tuvor]

2. Surely that bush video with the coffin-draped casket is out there.

That would be a useful link to email to the folks bitching about the current ad.

[gully]

8. I don't recall that one. Do you know where it aired?

I'd love for DU-ers to research that and locate it.

15. Linked to it in your other thread...

Thanks for the mention.

4. We should promote the fact that they had medallions made from the WTC

Actual WTC rubble, made into medallions that people could buy to show their support for the Republican party. There's not a damn thing we have ever done that comes close to that.

[gully]

5. And people mocking wounded soldiers via their little bandaid idea.

[DesertRat]

9. That bandaid picture still makes me SO ANGRY

I wish we could use it in a campaign ad. :mad:

[rucky]

7. We have PLENTY of ammo, but they have the media.

they win.

[Pacifist Patriot]

13. Ew!

[spanone]

6. The White House/Rethugs are offended by the truth. In any form.

[zoeb]

10. we need more coffin ads

and just maybe Amurica will wake up!

[Neshanic]

11. Exactly, and more McCain calling out Monkey boy for his ads.

[zoeb]

14. How come we don't have flag-draped coffin avatars?

yo skinner...we need new avatars!

like flag-draped coffin images.

[gully]

18. I'm there!

:hi:

[guinivere]

16. Oh brother. They just love to be "offended".

They aren't offended at all. The Dems could put out ads or whatever with Cinderella in it and they would complain.

The only thing that "offends" them is the sorry truth. Their guy screwed everything up beyond repair, and people die in wars.

[emulatorloo]

17. GOP/RNC are the masters of False Indignation

I am pretty sure they take special drama classes in Outrage.

[gully]

19. Hear hear!
