My apology to the RNC
The Republican National Committee wants the left to apologize for the MoveOn ads comparing Bush to Hitler.

Can do easy.

* * * * *

Fm: A Democratic Underground member
To: Ed Gillespie, Chairman, The Republican National Committee
Subj: Apology

On your website you demanded an apology for two ads posted to the MoveOn.org progressive website. These two ads compared George Bush to Adolf Hitler.

Mr. Gillespie, I'm sorry your president is a dictator.
I'm sorry the PATRIOT Act reads like a translated version of the Enabling Acts.
I'm sorry your Attorney General is running a concentration camp in Cuba.
I'm sorry your Homeland Security Secretary is scaring the hell out of little old ladies.

Would you like the left to stop comparing Bush to Hitler? There's an easy way: call Bush and tell him to stop acting like the Fuehrer.

And canning the Nazi salutes would be nice too.

I can see the rest, but where did you come up with the Nazi salutes?

5. Don't forget the concentration camps in Iraq!
They have put razor wire around some small cities and hung signs that say not to approach or attempt to cross the line as they may be shot for their own protection.

7. I was to E-mail Moveon.org
And ask them to retract their apology. We are above free speech when only convenient.

9. RNC, I apologize
I apologize for not waking up and seeing your despicable tactics for what they are sooner than I did.

I apologize for playing fair and giving right wingers the benefit of the doubt, when the right wing plays dirty and has no intention of playing fair with us. I won't make that mistake again.

11. My apologies, too
I don't think that I should call George W Bush an Adolph Hitler reincarnate.

From now on, I'll apply more appropriate comparisons: Francisco Franco Bahamonde, or better yet: Benito Mussolini.

Not only is that more appropriate for comparison, it is also publicly validated a in landslide "election" - as proven here.

This RNC attack makes me sick.
Again, the GOP doesn't care if it lies. They lied about the funding source, context and purpose of the ads in a massive press release. They did it as a PR move. They don't care that it's a lie because they know it will work. People always remember the big screaming lie and have little patience for what is later revealed.

Anyway, I love your apology.
