[bpilgrim]

20. cool

[BlueEyedSon]

2. Thank you! Theyre great!

4. Some good stuff there

I like the one of the fellow telling how it was in his country and surprise surprise guess which country is his. I will have to check out some more now my appetite has been whetted.

[htuttle]

5. I went through 10 of them last night

And am going to try to review a few dozen this weekend.

It's going to take a long time to get to them all -- there well are over 1,000!

[tridim]

9. It's a problem

MoveOn has the money, they should invest in some more bandwidth.

20 views a day max, >1500 ads. We'll need about 3 months to view and vote on all of them. It's not very fair to cut it to 15 without a chance to watch them all.

[HFishbine]

12. 12 hours?

Even if you could watch all of them instantly and back to back, how many people are going to spend over twelve hours viewing all the entries?

[Bandit]

7. Went to their site and checked out their newest ad

Labled MisLeader It was great, very compelling. I have yet to see one on TV but I don't watch much TV anyway. Hope it gets a good spot on CNN or even MSNBC. I know FOX won't run it but hope the networks will.

6. Starter link

Here is a link to the front page of the website... I have only seen about half a dozen so far... no stinkers and one really good one (a parody of that Croc Hunter guy, I think, with * as a snake)

8. I use a dial up...and couldnt see any of them.....damn...

gin

[nostamj]

21. i'm on dial-up too but I can see them by...

right-mouse click and 'save target as'

it WILL take a while 10+ minutes each, but you can download and view from your hard drive.

they are (so far) terrific and very professional

[bpilgrim]

22. make sure yall vote for GFP ;-)

:hi:

10. Support Move On

This is by far the best chance this country has for rising above the greed that is consuming us. Capitalism is failing. Move On is supported in large part by a socialist movement, so let's back this!

[htuttle]

11. MoveOn is largely supported by a pair of software developers

The support they receive from a 'socialist movement' is tangential at best, and often a mixed blessing.

Remember the flying toaster screen saver? Those are the MoveOn founders.

Nice try at repeating a Republican talking point, though, 'Marxistman'.

[HFishbine]

13. Must... watch... Faux...

I wonder if some people are ever going to wake up to the fact that they are being lied to by their favorite talking heads.

[Bandit]

14. Oh God No ~ Not Socialism

Oh God I'm scared. The Commies are coming. Where can we hide, under my bed is full. Tearing my hair out. Maybe Bush* will protect me from the evil Commies. He is sooo brave and handsome. I have to find a place to hide until Ashcroft and Bush* can save me..

[truthspeaker]

15. social democracy is a failure!

It's an oxymoron! It's failed everywhere it's been tried, except for Sweden. And Germany. Also Canada, the UK, France, the Netherlands, Belgium, Austria, Norway, Denmark ...

[HFishbine]

16. DON'T HIDE UNDER THE BED!!!

That's where the terrorists are!

[thebigidea]

18. what a ridiculous lie!

good going, comrade.

I see the RW is still terrified by the spectre of communism.



MOVEONwise, I'm completely depressed because my entry got to them 3 hours after the deadline due to a clogged mail server. My tears wouldn't sway them, but they say they are working on a new spinoff site to use all the extra videos.

here's a slightly better quality version of my failed entry:

[rbnyc]

24. I'm going through them right now...

...looking for 3 by a friend: No Flag Large Enough, Strip Away the Spin, and Ground Zero Heart Attack. Anyone come acrooss those?

[Neshanic]

25. The "Seriously" ad is a masterpiece.

I hit the floor laughing...god I hope they play that one. I do not want to spoil it. No soda at the keyboard when you see it!

[guitar man]

26. My favorite so far

This one cracked me up! Funny and right on target.
