Do you really want to do this?

This is the sort of crap the GOP has coming up:

John Kerry knows scary black people....

http://www.moveonforamerica.org/

They wouldn't need this sort of gibberish unless they were losing. Badly.

And the left wing equivalent of this ad would be as big a stinkbomb as I think this one is going to be.

1. ooooooo......this guy looks scary.....

Mr. Marks has also been a press secretary in GOP campaigns including Jeb Bush’s bid for governor in 1994, as well as an investigative journalist for such publications as Penthouse and New York Newsday.

Wow, he's practically another Edward Murrow!

9. MoveOn.org should sue their asses. The rethugs stole their trademark.

2. That is really ugly

Who are these guys?

4. Sheesh! A Willie Horton Ad Redux- Disgusting

5. Everyone should watch these ads to know what's coming

From the website:

Later ads will feature John Kerry’s raising political funds from known leaders of the Cali drug cartel, as well as other unethical behavior by Kerry regarding his finances when he was dead broke between his two marriages.

MoveOnForAmerica.Org is a group of citizens created by its president, DC-based GOP political consultant Stephen Marks. Specializing in opposition research and media, Mr. Marks has consulted dozens of candidates at all levels from presidential to congressional, including consulting for the National Republican Senatorial Committee, the National Republican Congressional Committee, and the Republican Governors Association. Mr. Marks has also been a press secretary in GOP campaigns , as well as an investigative journalist for such publications as Penthouse and New York Newsday. Mr. Marks also currently hosts The Stephen Marks Show heard weekly on KFNX Radio in Phoenix, and has appeared regularly on TV and radio, including The O’Reilly Factor, and Hannity & Colmes. Mr. Marks’ created TV ads in 2000 spotlighting Al Gore’s record, and now in 2004, Mr. Marks and MoveOnForAmerica.org. will do the same with John Kerry on a much larger scale.

6. I hope Moveon sues them for trademark infringement.

He's obviously trying to capitalize on their fame and is stealing their name.

At least get an injunction against him until a case can be heard preventing the ad from being shown.

Come on, folks, we have to know lawyers who are willing to do this for them pro-bono....

11. After the election...

They probably chose the name so they could get sued to draw attention.

7. but what the hell is sharpton saying?

It is pretty damning, why on earth would he want to associate himself with nuts like Al Sharpton?

"off the pigs?"

Al, that's fucking stupid.

8. Coming out a day before Kitty Kelly's book, interesting.

[GimmeDANEger]

10. the strategy is obvious...

make complete distortions and far-fetched lies that lead to no other choice than banning ALL 527s (even those like moveon.org, which tell the truth). If they Kerry campaign does not dismiss all of the ads, they will attack him relentlessly. They are playing very dirty tricks here.

[Armstead]

12. Naw. The GOP is just jealous of the success of left 527's

Their strategy is fairly straightforward. Use them to bury Kerry in mud.

The GOP has no problems with 527's. They would have used them a lot more if they had realized how potent they can be. They are only whining now because for once our side got the jump on them and the GOP wants to try to dilute the real MoveOn and other Kerry supporting 527's.

13. hey, isn't that voice the fruit and vegetable guy on XM? Or does

the guy who did those ads just have the brains of a hubbard squash?
