I've seen a TV spot that will bring Bush down.

[Loki]

I'm crying. Wow. :cry:

[Eric J in MN]

2. WEBMASTERS: please put a link to this ad on your website.

I put a link at http://moveleft.com on the top-right.

[DrBB]

44. Done and done

I run a pretty high traffic site. I can't put the link out in public but I put it up on one of the pages I use when I'm doing my bit to enhance Google ratings of sites like this.

[donheld]

3. very powerful

i hope enough people see it so we can make a change

[Gloria]

4. Damn! WM isn't supported ...ran into this before...If I recall

Windows 98 can't support it...

[Bake]

25. I have Windows 98 and I just saw it

Drying my eyes now. Very very powerful.

Bake

[bandy]

35. Me too and

that is devastating!

[Virginian]

48. Powerful - I have Win 98 SE.

Try downloading the latest Real Player.

[juslikagrzly]

5. Can't get it to work on my MAC even

though I have WMP for OS X. Anyone with a suggestion?

[Loki]

11. Make sure you are running the latest WMP.

I had that problem before and I'm running Panther.

[DrBB]

43. Works on mine, so it should be okay

...with the latest WMP (p.o.s.) version.

[Tarheel_Dem]

6. omg........

anyone who isn't moved to tears by that, just doesn't get it, or they just don't care.....thanks for posting.

[Tight_rope]

60. Bush* is a war criminal!

[mongo]

7. WOW

That was powerful. I hope it runs on the 6 o'clock news on every station in OH.

[beyurslf]

8. OMG... if that doesn't bring tears to your eyes then you have no heart or

soul of any kind.
Any one else think the President will smirk at it?

[alarcojon]

28. He'll smirk

and his supporters will say it's more emotionalism from the left.

They're not quite human anymore.

[BleedingHeartPatriot]

9. How can GWB sleep at night???

MKJ :cry:

[Andy_Stephenson]

20. I hope he finds it as hard as John Kerry since he voted yes.

:cry:

[George_S]

56. Here is what Kerry said when he voted on the Iraq War Resolution:

The major objection Bush has of Kerry, that Kerry is a flip-flop, is misleading, if not a lie. Kerry's position has been consistent, and either Bush knows that and is lying, or he again believes misleading information and repeats it as truth. Maybe we need a 9/30 Commision to get to the bottom of it.

Here is what Kerry said when he voted on the Iraq War Resolution:

"Let me be clear, the vote I will give to the President is for one reason and one reason only: To disarm Iraq of weapons of mass destruction, if we cannot accomplish that objective through new, tough weapons inspections in joint concert with our allies.

"If we do wind up going to war with Iraq , it is imperative that we do so with others in the international community, unless there is a showing of a grave, imminent - and I emphasize "imminent" - threat.

"If we go it alone without reason, we risk inflaming an entire region, breeding a new generation of terrorists, a new cadre of anti-American zealots, and we will be less secure, not more secure, at the end of the day, even with Saddam Hussein disarmed.

"Let there be no doubt or confusion about where we stand on this. I will support a multilateral effort to disarm him by force, if we ever exhaust those other options, as the President has promised, but I will not support a unilateral U.S. war against Iraq unless that threat is imminent and the multilateral effort has not proven possible under any circumstances.

"Every nation has the right to act preemptively, if it faces an imminent and grave threat, for its self-defense under the standards of law. The threat we face today with Iraq does not meet that test yet. I emphasize "yet." But it is not imminent, and no one in the CIA, no intelligence briefing we have had suggests it is imminent. None of our intelligence reports suggest that he is about to launch an attack.

"The argument for going to war against Iraq is rooted in enforcement of the international community's demand that he disarm. It is not rooted in the doctrine of preemption. Nor is the grant of authority in this resolution an acknowledgment that Congress accepts or agrees with the President's new strategic doctrine of preemption. Just the opposite. This resolution clearly limits the authority given to the President to use force in Iraq , and Iraq only, and for the specific purpose of defending the United States against the threat posed by Iraq and enforcing relevant Security Council resolutions." (John Kerry, October 9, 2002)

[ScreamingMeemie]

27. Because he "sees how hard it is on TV."

Damn him to hell and back. Hell's too good for him.

[Virginian]

50. He sleeps because we are not of his kind. We're disposable.

He doesn't respect us as humans.
There is no connection with the humanity of the thousand plus. To him it is only a number.

How many Iraqis would Saddam have killed in the past year? Probably not even one tenth as many as George Bush has killed by taking the US to war. How many Children would Saddam have killed?

[AlCzervik]

10. that Mom of the dead soldier is local for me

when he died my local paper the sacramento Bee ran a story on him and then on his family. There is another Mom in my area that also had her son die in Iraq and she is also part of this group. The price of this war is not worth it.

[MarkTwain]

12. There's ANOTHER ONE. Just starting to air in Florida....

... very hard hitting. From the DNC.

The only image is a dull grey full screen picture of the Thief that shows him very gruff and stern looking. The narrator keeps up the constant drumbeat of "he can't admit he's wrong." During which he lists things like the economy, the 1000 dead soldiers, the war, etc.

It's very powerful.

[napi21]

13. I saw that one. It's running in Ga. too.

Can't rmember what chanel it was.

[Disturbed]

14. "How can GWB sleep at night???"

He sleeps soundly; a Sociopath on Ambian.

[Obamarama]

17. Saw it in MI, too.

[NEOBuckeye]

39. It's running in Ohio as well.

What a mean smirk * has.

[GingerSnaps]

15. I feel so bad for her

:cry:

[Eric J in MN]

16. If you have a website, please link to the ad, there (nt)

nt

[never cry wolf]

18. I'm not sure if I want to thank you or not

I have an 18 year old son.

That tore my heart out!

[Mad_Dem_X]

19. Very powerful.

My heart goes out to her, and to all the parents who've lost children in this nasty war. :(

[mcar]

21. Genuine, heartfelt, touching

My son is 17. This tears at my heart.

[mzmolly]

22. Sad and powerful ... Please contribute here to sponsor this ad:

https://secure.ga3.org/01/tv

[swag]

23. $25 kick

Thanks for the links, y'all.

[wildeyed]

24. That poor woman and her family.

I can't think of anything harder than losing a child. My heart goes out to her. And kudos to her for speaking out. It can't be easy. If it was me, I would probably just want to find a dark place to curl up and die in.

I hate this war.

[Smallberries]

29. Powerful

My wife and I are still torn up.

If this ad goes nationwide, I doubt we'll be hearing the (idiotic) term "Security Mom" again.

[in_cog_ni_to]

26. So, so sad.

My heart breaks for her and her family.

May Casey rest in peace.

and may bush go to hell for what he has done to Cindy Sheehan, her family and the thousands of other lives he has ruined.

[Bullshot]

30. No single thing will bring Bush down.

It will be an accumulation of things. This could be a valuable component, if it receives any attention in the media.

Would it be too much to expect the media stooges to give this even a fraction of the attention they gave the Skank Boat Vets?

[NVMojo]

31. the media must burn in hell with Bush

for their sins are even greater over the past 6 years. Catering to the imperialist politicians who use God as a cover.

I hope this ad runs in Las Vegas. Bush is so in tight up the ass with Rove, a Reno-ite, down there that it is sickening. They have totally sucked up the rural Nevada vote due to the gold sucking mining industries here. Scaring the shit out of the rural communities about how they will all lose their gold mining jobs if Kerry gets elected. The foreign gold mines suck billions out of the earth here, much of it on public land, for next to nothing. Corporate welfare at its highest form.

[juajen]

36. Egad, just like in South America and Africa

More and more we resemble a third world country. Retribution, maybe, because we haven't stood up for the poor people around the world who suffer economically and environmentally from our and others' corporate rape of their countries.

[jn2375]

32. I watched this ad before going to bed and couldn't sleep that night

[Democat]

33. Make sure you donate to the group to keep the ads on the air!

http://realvoices.org/rv/donate.html

[jn2375]

34. How many states is it showing in?

[sbj405]

37. Thanks for the link. I'm in a non-battleground state.

We miss out on most of the ads (thankfully), but this one is worth sending around.

[jn2375]

38. I couldn't take more than one viewing of this, I can't imagine

see it on TV daily,

40. I will add it to my web site later this week or early next --

[NEOBuckeye]

41. Very, VERY powerful. This could be Lyndon Johnson's "Flower Girl" of 2004.

Everyone, whether they are voting for Kerry or Bush, Nader or whoever else, MUST see this ad. THIS is the core of the 2004 Presidential campaign.

Poor woman. I can't even begin to imagine her heartache and sorrow. How brave she is for sharing her pain with the world.

[jn2375]

42. Just thinking about that ad brings tears to my eyes

[ilovenicepeople]

61. I don't even have to watch this ad to bring tears to my eyes

God help us.:cry:

[NamVetsWeeLass]

45. omg

All I have to say is this... I don't know how he sleeps at night. We need something to nail him to a wall with. ::waits quietly for SWAT/Secret Service Wet team:: Let's hope this can change the mind of some of the "Mad Cowboy Brigade" (Usually earmarked by the following. 1.) Voracious support of Shrub {800 plus death toll since the official end of the war "YEAH SO, HE'S GOD!!"} 2.)Foaming at the mouth. 3.) Closed eyes, and looking like they just had an Anal Probe. 4.) Statements like "John Kerry got wounds that a Band-aide could cover in Vietnam.."{Ummm OK, But I don't care if he got a wound while Flinging paper Clips at someone in an office in Saigon, the fact is that HE WAS THERE!!!!!!} 5.) Irrational fear of Pretzels, called SaltyTwistedDoughAPhobia, Feel that all pretzels should be outlawed.) If you see any of the above signs Call 911 and back away slowly, Arm yourselves with Pretzels and the correct pronunciations of prisons in Iraq. And lastly, remember our November 2nd appointment with the Exterminator.... Let's it get DONE!

[Itchinjim]

46. May George Walker Bush rot in Hell.

Rot in Hell.

[PROGRESSIVE1]

47. kick

[medeak]

49. kick

powerful

[desertmouse]

51. A mother's nightmare

I can relate. I have two of my own that are 'of age'.
I've been sending info about possibly attending a Canadian College to my kids. The possibility of them being drawn into this mess really concerns me.

[seeker4ever]

52. They'll make fun of her and...

say "whadda ya expect? yer kid was in the armed service!"

You see, they're fucking ass holes. These are the dinks that think Dumb-Ya sucked so hard in the debate because hims was tired. Poor titty baby low expectations bush.

[President Kerry]

53. There's no answer to this...

What could Rove POSSIBLY think up to counter this ad. Those people have no shame. This woman reminds me of the Michigan woman in Fahrenheit 911. For those of you who haven't see it, please go to

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/world/iraq/casualties/facesofthefallen.htm

it's overwhelming.

[jn2375]

54. Does anyone know how many states its playing in?

[mark11727]

55. Oh sweet Jesus, my heart just broke...

...this should be played in the swing AND the "red" states... let them know what devastation their boy has wrought.

And in a personal aside to Shrub his own self...

NOW YOU JUSTIFY THIS TO HER, YOU LYING LITTLE SH*T.

[proud2BlibKansan]

57. can't watch it

I have a MAC and don't have Windows. Darn.

[eastcalifornia]

58. they won't care

are you kidding? the right-wing doesn't care .... they'd call this woman a traitor and have her arrested! .... sad but true (iraq vet dad here .... been called every name in the book for being anti-Bush....)

[malatesta1137]

59. War Criminal Bush

should have his two retarded twin daughters raped, stabbed and then burned alive, maybe then he would know how bad it is to lose a loved one over a war for Halliburton and Bechtel.

[Dangerman]

62. All I can say is...

(sobbing over the keyboard)

I feel your pain, Mrs. Sheehan, and thank you for your courage.

May Bush and his cronies burn in hell for murdering Spc. Cassey Sheehen!
