is MoveOn having difficulties?
I've been trying to go to their homepage, but I can't get there. Are they just busy right now?

3. they pulled the Hitler ones
but the top 15 are there--and excellent!

I'm just having a hard time going there NOW. :shrug:

Maybe this'll end up like the whole Fox News/Franken book thing: good for us in the long run! Lots of progressives checking out MoveOn for the first time--and donating!

4. They didn't "pull" anything
The "Hitler" commercials were among hundreds that were submitted by MoveOn members. The top 15 vote-getters were the ones that made the cut, the rest were left behind.

From what I understand, almost nobody (if anybody) voted for the Hitler commercials. So, by even allowing ourselves to be drawn into a fight about it, we're allowing the dark side to win.

One of the best, I thought...

7. It'll be a finalist
When they tally the votes in the comedy category I am sure. I liked that one too.
