Now Kerry could do something with this!
Just saw a correspondent on 'The Capital Gang' on CNN say: every, that's every web site that supports al Qaeda supports Bush for re-election.

Now that would make a great campaign ad!

Scene: A husband and wife sitting at the kitchen table drinking coffee and reading the newspaper.

Wife: Dear, I just read something rather shocking.

Husband: What's that?

Wife: Well, every web site that supports al Qaeda also wants Bush to be re-elected this fall.

Husband: I don't get it. Why would terrorists want Bush to be our president for four more years?

Wife: You know, maybe he's not doing such a great job after all.

5. Yes, but to be effective
Edited on Sat Sep-11-04 07:46 PM by senseandsensibility
the dem talking heads would have to support the FACTS in the ad when it was discussed on TV. And I have yet to hear one Dem support the facts in any Move-On ad, although it should be easy to do. They just let the repukes make a comparison between swiftboat liars and Move-On without pointing out the obvious: Move-On isn't lying.

6. If the American people used the one brain cell they had they
would know that Bush is the greatest poster boy for terrorists to come down the pike..ever. That's why they are not going to attack before our elections. So when things blow up (sometime after Bush slips behind Kerry in the polls)know that for once the terrorists are innocent----as bin Laden runs from his cave screaming "I didn't do it..I fucking didn't do it...honest to Allah..I didn't".

7. Anyone with any sense knows Al-Queda wants Bush to win
so they can go at it with each other in religious warfare except brainless Republicans. Bush has done everything Al-Queda could've asked for over the last few years. I'm betting they hope he invades Iran.

8. Which one said that? I watched most of it, although I left the room
for a few minutes.

Name or description, I'm just curious.

9. Better if...
nobody talking about what they read in the paper - can't believe what the librul press sez.

My suggestion:

(Announcer over montage of website pages written in Arabic with anti-American graphics - Uncle Sam as bloody killer, jubilant terrorists waving weapons, etc)

What is al Queda thinking?

What does al Queda want?

It's not hard to tell.

Because the thoughts of terrorists are expressed on hundreds of internet websites.

And every single site that supports America's enemies...

also supports the re-election of George W. Bush.

(Arabic script dissolves into English on voiceover cue: RE-ELECT GEORGE W. BUSH)

(screen goes to black)

Should America give al Queda what it wants?

10. Great ad
Has more punch than mine. I used the husband and wife team because remember that approach which eventually sunk public support for Hillary's health insurance reform? I forget the couple's name, but though actors, most of American came to believe that 'TV couple.'

12. Yes, I remember that campaign
It was effective, and I remember it well enough that I knew you were modeling yours after it. The difference is that the GOP had enough money (of course) to do a whole campaign and saturate the airwaves with them.

With less money, we need more impactful visuals...which is my main complaint about Kerry's ads, no oomph. You'd think that, with all the advisers contributing to his campaign, someone would remember that the two best-recalled political TV ads of all time featured a little girl with a daisy in one, and a revolving prison door in the other. Negative ads work because it's easier to dramatize a problem than a solution.

Another poster here suggested an ad showing a football stadium filled with the $200 billion spent on Iraq, and that's a powerful visual. I would love to see that ad produced and aired.

11. Similar thread by WiseMen. Why not get together and really do script for
MoveOn or Media Fund, then send it out.
