Seriously, why didn' tthe right-wing just ignore the Fox ad?

[LynneSin]

I mean seriously, it was a heartbreaking campaign ad starting a person that I think most of America watch grow-up on a very popular 80's sitcom and a string of very memorable movies including the "Back to the Future" triology. If Limbaugh had just kept his damn mouth shut, there probably wouldn't have been even a tenth of the stink that's happening today.

1. they think they can sneer their way through anything, but their luck's about to run out.

[TygrBright]

2. They're in full meltdown mode, the lid is off...

...the bottomless well of stupid they've all been drinking from for the last twenty years, and it's gushing like Old Faithful and spraying every GOPpie in the vicinity.

Desperate assholes don't stop to think before shooting their mouths off. And these assholes are desperate.

It's that simple.

succinctly,
Bright

3. Because they are self-righteous ignorant elitists...

...proving once again, man was NOT designed by any "God".

[Chipper Chat]

4. Limbaugh is their godfather.

His word is gospel to the freepers (or should I say "gossipel.")
If Rush would say on air that Nancy Pelosi is a lesbian 100% of his sheeple would believe it and REPEAT IT AT CHURCH. That is the modus operendi of the right-wing.

[LynneSin]

9. Yes but this was neither Nancy Pelosi or a Lesbian

That he could have gotten away with doing just that

But everyone remembers Nixon-loving Alex P. Keaton. I don't think Michael J. Fox has ever done anything controverial throughout his entire existance. He's had two hit TV shows, a string of beloved movies you could actually take your kids to go see. And Fox isn't a diehard republican - he admits that he's a big fan of Arlen Specter and my own representative Mike Castle (republican who sponsered that last Stem Cell legislation). Fox has been married to the same person forever, had a ton of kids and just had the unfortunate luck to be dealt some really shitty DNA. Rush should have kept his mouth shut

12. You think that big tub of lard cares?

He's so filthy rich - probably just on the rung under Oprah. He can buy his way out of any problem (ie: the Caribbean trip, loose mouth on black football players).
It'll happen though - one of these days he'll get his commupence. Hope I'm still alive to see it.

5. Hollywood is their enemy

like "SanFrancisco", part of that arch Liberal crap they scare the religious right with. They've lost their groove but don't know it yet and are making one hideous mistake after another.

I wish we could laugh about them, but it is just too sad the damage they've done.

[Kiouni]

6. he's acting??!!!!

Limbaugh is as bad as Coulter with her acid spitting they profited from their husbands deaths.
what next is he going to say Christopher Reeves died as a publicity stunt?

7. I think Sam Seder said it best on Olberman...

I think that the bottom line here is that conservatives are very worried that people will actually see the real world implications of their policies. It's the same reason we can't see the flag-draped coffins of servicemembers coming back from Iraq; it's the same reason why congressional pages are blamed for being subjected to child predators. This is all part of the fantasy world that they have to create for their followers, or people just won't subscribe to the ideology. (...) I actually don't think that it's a tipping point for (Limbaugh); he may lose some people at the margins, but this is what his audience needs. They need to be innoculated from the real world truths of what the policies that the Rush Limbaughs of the world espouse. I mean, if they see these things, they need Rush to be there to give them an excuse to not take it seriously and Rush provided it for them. He basically said, "Disease is a liberal plot," and the reason why Iraqis are fighting each other is because "they want the Democrats to win." It actually allows his listeners a free pass on what reality's really about.

8. Rove's strategy is to attack our strengths

He has never attacked our weaknesses, only our strengths.

Think about it.

Kerry's military service.
etc....

My coworkers think that the presidential election is this year, and
they have Barak Obama confused with Ford,

They also think that Bush is a plain spoken feller'.

Seriously.

We activists live in a bubble, the rest of the world is blissfully
unaware.

They only know what pokes them in the eye.

[driver8]

10. They absolutely hate for anyone to voice an opinion other than

what they believe.

Plus, they love to attack the messenger...we have seen that little ploy time and time again.

These idiots are despicable.

[johnnydrama]

11. Seder

That statement he said on keith two nights ago.

Republicans are afraid to see the real world implications of their policies, is 100% correct.

It's pretty easy for somebody to vote against stem cell research, for the president to veto it.

It's not so easy to see the effects of the diseases you can be curing.

It's pretty easy for chickenhawk Republicans to sign documents, and come up with policies that see
2800 US Soldiers dead, and 10's of thousands wounded. It's pretty easy for their apologists to
say stay the course, keep the killing going.

It's hard to see caskets coming back from Iraq.

You think they don't want to see caskets out of respect for our servicemen, or because it's their lying
policies, and apologizing for those policies that cause those deaths.

13. I think because

of the effect it was having on voters. There was a post here yesterday from political wire that did a study on the ad and showed people who viewed the ad after seeing it if they were going to the republicans side after seeing the ad they were going to the democratic side so this has them worried but they are taking it the wrong way in my opinion by attacking Fox. It's only making things worse for them and showing their true colors.
