Republican response to Moveon.org I think this is a sign of things to come
Do any of you know about this site <http://www.grassfire.org/> I watched some of their anti-Moveon ads. They claimed that Saddam was an evil dictator and by Moveon.org criticizing the resident we are a danger to American security. It was ugly, very anti-free-speech. I'm guessing this is what '04 is going to shape up like, a hell of a lot of reactionary anger. At any rate I'm wondering who owns the site. It is said know thy enemy, well, I've seen his face and it is grassfire.org.
Anyone have any comments on the site? Any easy ways to combat their message? Any hard ways?

13. About 10 years ago he found Christ.
I didn't know Christ was missing, but go figure. He has spiraled down the dark "Christian" path into the whole Armageddon thing, men are by nature evil, Christian war is good, blah, blah, blah. We haven't spoken since the war began. He was unhappy that my sister and I were going to peace rallies -- very unchristian of us!

20. Did your Dad retrace his steps?

And there Christ was, up on the counter with the mail, where he'd set him down for just a minute when the phone rang... ;-)

15. They "claimed" what?!!!
"They claimed that Saddam was an evil dictator"

You make it sound as though there's any doubt there. Not to defend the site, but it looks like they did at least get one thing right. That's something some people here seem to have a hard time doing.

And visiting the site just bumps up their traffic.

24. I guess I was emphesising
That because he was an evil dictator we are a national security risk, because we are undermining Bush's view of things.
