CNN just aired MOVEON.org ad!!! It ROCKS!

[bliss_eternal]

If you only have five bucks extra, or loose change, please send it to Moveon.org. They need our support and totally deserve it! They've got a major ad on a major station--this is HUGE!

The ad placed a picture of the boy king, next to a picture of Nixon and asked "what's the difference?"

:applause:

[rodeodance]

1. thanks.

[fooj]

2. Perfect timing with soooo many viewers tuned in.

Yes.

[bliss_eternal]

20. I almost dropped my lap top--

I was stunned! Wasn't expecting that at all. It came right after everyone had 'politely' bashed * at the funeral. So damned perfect! :hi:

[BOSSHOG]

3. One big difference to this veteran

Nixon served proudly in the Navy and was "really" honorably discharged (actually retired after 20 years service Active and Inactive.) Other than that, can't think of much.

[FreedomAngel82]

8. And he didn't steal an election either

Didn't he also create the food stamp program?

[BOSSHOG]

15. Nixon comes out looking good

when compared to bush. What a great kickoff to bush's legacy. He sucked so much worse than Nixon.

[NewJeffCT]

42. Nixon was actually a practical politician

yes, he was conservative, but he started the EPA and was also for universal health care. Anybody that is truly pro-business like Republicans claim to be would be for universal health care.

[coalition_unwilling]

12. Nixon minus brains equals Bush (n/t)

[Buck Rabbit]

17. Nixon, best Republican President of my lifetime.

Except Clinton.

Shocking revelation to me as I thought Nixon was the lowest scum sucker on earth, but in reflection I would take him over all the subsequent registered Republican Presidents.

[Fovea]

36. I am old enough to have been a kid

during the end of the Eisenhower admin.

Now that was a republican. I don't think everything he stood for was great, but he certainly saw our dilemma coming down the tracks.

[Joe Fields]

43. I was too. He built the highway system.

[Joe Chi Minh]

48. These Neocons are anythhing but conservatives, of course, and

are contemptuous of the notion subscribed to by the old patricians that "noblesse oblige"; that if life has dealt you a generous hand in terms of this world's goods, you should give something back, more particularly to those in need; and in terms of political office, they had a genuine culture of service, not of exploiting their office to ruthlessly and ceaselessly plunder the nation for the sole enrichment of themselves and their mercantile friends.

[coalition_unwilling]

49. Yes, in retrospect, Nixon looks like a flaming liberal (at least

on domestic matters). Take a look at anti-poverty programs under Nixon and compare to Clinton's record and Clinton comes out not looking much better by comparison.

21. Thank you, BOSSHOG!

I did not know that--the information is appreciated! :hi:

[stop the bleeding]

16. Only on CNN International - as far as what I have heard so far n/t

[Bluebear]

23. Just aired on CNN US. nt

[stop the bleeding]

28. Excellent and thank you - I am surprised - thank you again n/t

[bliss_eternal]

22. I saw it on my usual CNN station--

maybe a snafu on their part?

:shrug:

[populistdriven]

5. we need one like: 'Republicans are stuck in the month of September 2001'

[BOSSHOG]

13. Senator Feingold had a great quote yesterday

Republicans say democrats are stuck in a pre-911 world. Feingold said bush is stuck in a pre-1776 world.

[One Voice]

6. What ? on CNN ?

Fantastic!
I can't believe they aired it though!
I thought they were turning into FOX II
I'm shocked.

[stop the bleeding]

9. But they didn't, I have only heard that it was on CNN International

see my above post#4 with links

[mr.sparkle]

11. CNN is the new Fox II

Don't kid yourself, they are cut from the same cloth of corporate filth....and are indeed turning into Fox jr.

[stop the bleeding]

14. welcome to DU mr.sparkle

:toast:
See post #4 - they have only shown the add on CNN International as far as what I have been able to gather

[mr.sparkle]

19. thanks, glad to be here...

yeah, i'm not surprised CNN International is showing it....pretty safe for CNN to appear to be "fair and balanced" - hehe

[newyawker99]

45. Hi mr.sparkle!!

Welcome to DU!! :toast:

[mr.sparkle]

50. hi newyawker!!

thanks for the welcome....i've been a reader of the web-site for some time, but just recently decided to check out the forums

[bliss_eternal]

24. BlueIndiana2--yes--I saw it on CNN!

I'm still reeling from the shock. LOL!

Welcome to DU! :hi:

[One Voice]

26. Thanks bliss!

For the welcome

:hi:

[bliss_eternal]

33. I LOVE to see newbies

jumping in and making themselves at home! We're happy to have you here. We fight and argue amongst ourselves, sometimes over the silliest things it seems, but DU is a great place overall!

Enjoy your new home...:hi:

[stop the bleeding]

35. ditto n/t

[FreedomAngel82]

7. YAY!

Go Moveon! I saw this ad and it's great!!!

[Just Me]

18. I saw it, as well. It's excellent. Of course, this cabal makes the Nixon

,...administration look like a buncha' choir boys getting into mischief. This cabal is FAR FAR worse: much more conniving and deceptive and secretive. It will take cooperative effort by those spread throughout our system of government to take them down,...BEFORE they ruin this country. Of course, the BushCO/neoconster regime know that and have worked in anticipation of a "worse case scenario" where their abuse of power is challenged. They are that extreme, that sick.

[bliss_eternal]

25. I'm so glad someone else saw it! Whew!

I was starting to wonder if I saw some strange anomaly, or figment of my imagination given some of the info. in the posts above. LOL!

[chat_noir]

10. George W. Bush is Breaking the Law

[bliss_eternal]

29. Wasn't that cool?

Move on--

:yourock:

[lavenderdiva]

27. I've been surprised but PLEASED at how often they have played it

this afternoon...

[bliss_eternal]

30. You saw it AGAIN?!!?

Aww, man--I missed it! I'm so proud of moveon!

[lavenderdiva]

38. I've seen it at least 3-4 times this afternoon on CNN...

YIppee!!

[bliss_eternal]

39. That's WONDERFUL!

I turned from them, to see the rest of the funeral on C-span--but am thrilled to hear it aired so many times! That's HUGE! Yay!

:woohoo::bounce::woohoo::bounce::woohoo::bounce::woohoo::bounce::woohoo::bounce::woohoo::bounce::woohoo::bounce:

[stop the bleeding]

31. very cool n/t

[jackstraw45]

32. Donate to air the ad HERE

https://political.moveon.org/donate/breakingthelaw.html

[bliss_eternal]

34. Fabulous! Thanks for the link!

You may want to put this into a new thread, so as many as possible see it!

[bliss_eternal]

37. I actually started a thread myself--

thank you again for the link!

[w8liftinglady]

40. played several times during Mrs king's funeral

How appropriate.evry DUer should try to make a small donation(if we each gave $2-that would buy 6 days of broadcasting)

[bliss_eternal]

44. SO worth it--

worth every dime!

[SlipperySlope]

41. Yay!

Although, truth be told, I'd rather have tricky dick back.

[Straight Shooter]

46. Nixon would have been just as bad if he had Rove to guide him.

Between Nixon and Little Boots, Lord only knows which one is more psychologically f*cked up and dysfunctional.

[bliss_eternal]

47. Good points--Rove could

lead any insecure little boy, seeking daddy's approval down the same road.

All the accounts of Nixon being paranoid--brings to mind a great deal of shrub's actions...

[mr.sparkle]

51. CNN just aired the ad...again.

i just saw the ad before the 5 o'clock hour on actual CNN (not the international channel).....how cool, hopefully these ads will have an impact with the public....here's to hoping for a news reaction too!

[npincus]

52. LINK-Y to the ad, anyone?
