Bush Camp Hits Democrats' 'Coalition of Wild - Eyed'

[Khephra]

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President Bush's re-election campaign lumped together vocal outbursts by Democrats Al Gore, Howard Dean and others on Thursday and called them part of John Kerry's ``Coalition of the Wild-Eyed.''

The Bush-Cheney campaign released a video on its Web Site that played up some of the more strident statements Democrats have made on the campaign trail and declared: ``This is not a time for pessimism and rage.''

The implication the Bush campaign appeared to be trying to leave was that some of the main boosters of Kerry's presidential campaign are filled with rage and perhaps a bit kooky.

``Today, our campaign is releasing a web video to 6 million of our supporters to show them what we're up against and what we're up against is John Kerry's 'coalition of the wild-eyed,''' said Bush campaign manager Ken Melhman.

Oopsie.

[thebigidea]

3. Bush Camp Mixes Images of Democrats, Nazis - would be the REAL headline

[mom cat]

22. and Hitler! Just heard Randi on this. Sick.

[Qutzupalotl]

61. The first party to mention Hitler in their campaign

automatically loses.
:)

[gratuitous]

4. Ah, the sweet smell of desperation!

Trying to cover up the lingering stink of death.

Ha ha, George!

[justjones]

5. I'm not impressed.

Funniest thing I've ever seen. It's a better Democratic ad than any actual Democratic ad. I would donate money to these idiots if it could be ear-marked toward putting this gem on TV.

Can these idiots be so blind to their image problems that they think airing a comparison of Bush and Hitler will actually help Bush? Half the audience will go, "Huh... I'd never noticed that. Y'know, Bush really is a lot like Hitler."

[lovedems]

14. I LMAO when I saw the end.

This coming from the "terror alert has risen", "we stopped a terror attack at a mall in Ohio", "another attack is coming this summer" optimistic crowd? ROTFLMAO! They aren't only pessimistic, they play on our fears! ROTFLMAO again!

The end of that show the chimp lives in a paralled universe!

[struggle4progress]

60. Yes, it tinkles toward the end.

[goclark]

17. Bring On The "Wild Eyed" Ads n/t

[GoddessOfGuinness]

29. While you're laughing...

check out his "compassion agenda". :puke:

As to Hitler references, the rethug's next tactic will probably be, "So you see, Hitler really wasn't such a bad guy after all..."

[NMDemDist2]

34. i agree TM this is a better ad for JK than the dems have run yet

i loved it!

[Matilda]

69. I've tried to follow this link on two different threads,

but just get "this page cannot be displayed".

Is this me, or has someone seen the light and pulled the ad?

[Fovea]

7. ''This is not a time for pessimism and rage.''

Yes, it is!

[troublemaker]

8. It's a time for optimism and rage!

[kainah]

9. I don't know

I'm willing to be called "wild-eyed!" :shrug:

[alittlelark]

50. I AM a wild-eyed democrat.....and proud of it !

I'm so left I'm RIGHT!

[Emboldened Chimp]

10. That's the best they can come up with?

I think Rove's slipping...

[Sub Atomic]

11. Kerry has the Coalition of the Wild Eyed,

but Bush has the Coalition of the Liars and the Coalition of the Not-So-Monogamous and the Coalition of the S&M Participants and the Coalition of the Coerced and....

:eyes:

[SeanOhio]

15. Yuck

I love the technique of showing close-ups of the speakers' faces. And you can't beat the harmonious tune at the end of it.

Unbelievable.

[ninkasi]

40. How about Coalition of the Greedy?

Or Coalition of liars? These neocons are so pathetic.

[madaboutharry]

12. These people are using

Stalin's play book. This is exactly what the Soviets did to the refusniks and dissidents: label them crazy and psychiatric cases.

[tabasco]

13. Count me among the wild-eyed and raging.

The Bush cabal is disgracing and damaging this nation. Anyone who is not enraged is uninformed, stupid, or does not care. Rage is an appropriate response to corruption and treason.

[wicket]

16. "This is not a time for pessimism and rage.''

But it is the time for pre-emptively invading countries that didn't attack us??! That's a lot worse than "pessimism and rage".

[Pale_Rider]

18. I'm proud to be wild-eyed and filled with rage!

Also I'm a good dancer! :evilgrin:

[Eric J in MN]

21. What could be more pessimistic than saying we have to attack Iraq or

What could be more pessimistic than saying we have to attack Iraq or it will attack us?

[teryang]

25. Policy of aggression results in predictable slaughter

Who is wild eyed? How about Michael Ledeen unabashed fascist? How about Ambassador Negroponte emissary of death?

How about Ashcroft, talk about wild eyed, the man is exposed as an advocate of torture! Todays picture in the press shows the stress he is under. The man is unbalanced.

This is typical transference by the junta, when the deceptive appearance of regularity is peeled away and reveals the hellish reality below, attempt to project that reality as a delusional image conjured up by adversaries of unsound mind.

What is real and what isn't, who defines it? According to the government apologists for barbarism, they do.

[Media_Lies_Daily]

32. The NeoCons have made me pessimistic about the future,...

...and that has filled me with rage!!

Take back our country!

[ilovenicepeople]

72. YES!!!!!

PLEASE,PLEASE,PLEASE take back "YOUR" country.As for mine (Canada)PLEASE,PLEASE,PLEASE lets keep "OURS"! :hi:

[Arkana]

19. Ah yes

They can't fight the facts, so instead they label it "pessimism and rage." How mature.

[Eric J in MN]

20. nobody signed that bogus article

Al Gore didn't give a 'sceaming speech.'

They just excerpted a portion where he raised his voice. Good speakers say parts of long speeches more loudly than others parts.

Also, MovOn didn't produce that ad. It was one of 1500 contest entries.

[Trajan]

46. Gore's speech was a SCORCHING denunciation of Bush Policy ...

and it as right on the mark ...

There is a time and place for anger: that was CERTAINLY such a time and place ...

Gore was magnificent ...

[0007]

23. Wild-eyed? The Abu Ghraib exposure of man's inhumanity to man

in the name of democracy is enough to make anyone that has a brain 'Wild-eyed'

I'm 'wild-eyed' and one pissed off crazed American that's ashamed to be called an American under one God.

If your not 'wild-eyed' and upset with this organized crime cabal that runs the White House your not paying attention.

[Kinkistyle]

24. LMAO! Un-f-ing-believable!

This coming from the administration that lies in order to drop bombs on the heads of Iraqi's killing thousands of innocent civilians not to mention closing in on 1000 U.S. troops for oil and pie-in-the-sky visions of a democratic, rose-throwing Middle East under Israeli rule. And its the Democrats who are the "wild-eyed" ones huh?

There is a fine line between "optimism" and "delusion" and the Bush admin and trampled all over and across it.

[NuttyFluffers]

26. A brand new low! Congradulations!

Never thought the GOP could dig so deep! Let's see if they can break all possible records! Dig, dig, dig!

Everyone... get ready to fill the hole while they're in it!

27. Another wild-eyed patriot checking in!

Give 'em Hell, Mr. President!

[Rose Siding]

28. But NOT the coalition of the potty mouths

Ya need Cheney for that.

[54anickel]

30. I just sent the link to the B-i-L (W supporter) to get his opinion on

it. I asked him to carefully read the Shrub quotes during the Hitler clip. Want to know if he thinks it's a good ad for Shrub or not. It will be interesting to get his response. I just hope they don't pull it before he has the chance to see it.

[Democat]

31. This would be a scandal if Kerry released an ad with Hitler in it!

Remember the huge media outrage over the MoveOn ad?

Somehow Bush is allowed to run ads with Hitler in them and no one says a thing about it?

The U.S. media bias is sad.

[Dr Fate]

33. So where are the WMDs & 9/11 connections, oh "clear-eyed" ones??

???

[rawstory]

35. Really lame ad

That's the best they can come up with? It looks like a KERRY ad!!!

[u2spirit]

39. Kerry should use this

If this is the best the repukes can do, they may as well mail it in. This definitely looked like an anti *Bush ad to me. Wild eyed no, but pissed off. You're damn right we're pissed. Have fun at the photo op pig farm next year shrubby!

[daleo]

36. Better to be wild eyed than to project an image of calm

By reading a book about a goat to six year olds while the WTC is burning, and death planes are on their way to Washington.

[Bundbuster]

37. Wild Eyes??

[a_random_joel]

38. If this is the best they got...

Keep spending the rich man's money...

[Rex]

41. They've lost it, and I don't mean the Dems.

Bush & crew are loony toony! That ad is pathetic and will fool no one.

[isa-lee]

42. I am getting a t-shirt made

that says 'Coalition of Wild - Eyed'. You can sign me up.

[mbperrin]

43. Remember: the abbreviation for wild eyed is

WE!

[peacetalksforall]

44. HOORAY FOR THE WILD EYED!

It's a badge of honor!

If only we could get some people to even open their eyes.

PLAN:

Step 1. Get people to open their eyes.
Step 2. Get people to look wild eyed with purpose, commitment, and fervor!

Hoorary!

[lostnfound]

45. hmm..flash video of Hitler complaining about wild-eyed opposition?

I know, everytime we compare him to Hitler we get in trouble.

[symbolman]

48. Remember

"Bush is NOT a Nazi - so STOP Saying that!"

http://www.takebackthemedia.com/bushnonazi.html

Take Back the Media leads the way again.. they have to fight FIRE with FIRE, but THEY look like complete idiots when they do it..

why not throw Pee Wee Herman in there, it would make about as much sense..

and who said BRING EM ON?

[Lindacooks]

49. Somebody needs to come up with a t-shirt

PROUD TO BE WILD EYED!

[Enraged_Ape]

51. Oh, please, PLEASE let them run this ad! It's the best Kerry ad yet!!

I cannot believe a team of highly-paid individuals at Bush campaign headquarters actually brainstormed this, another team of Republican editors spent hours putting it together, and another team of high-level Bushies watched it and said, "Hey! Looks good!" Stupidity IS contagious--like bubonic plague, evidently.

[leesa]

52. Good comment! 'Cream of the Crop' for Republicans, no doubt.

[MisterP]

53. the question is:

WHO IS THIS AN AD FOR?!
Why is Shrub's ad just a chain of people denouncing him in ringing terms? He thinks we're as stupid as, well, he is!

[FlemingsGhost]

54. Damn right we're "wild-eyed." And they're scared shitless.

The "barbarians" are at the gates, motherfuckers.

Pikes in hand, we're looking for heads ...

[radfringe]

55. rather be part of the "coalition of wild-eyes" than

part of the "shrub-boy band of bunglers"

speaking of which - calling Kerry supporters a "coalition of wild-eyes" doesn't sound very honorable, nor dignified nor the optimum way to "unite" people, nor does this type of "negative name calling" appear to be "optimistic" and it certainly doesn't do anything to "change the tone"

memo to bush*: haven't you figured out that after 5 months (give or take a week) of airing mudslinging slime ads about Kerry that the only poll numbers that have dropped are your own?

if you are such a "good" pResident -- where are the ads touting your successes? Don't you have anything "good" to say about yourself?

57. They sound scared to me. They not only attack Gore/Dean with this

they attack all Kerry supporters and voters.

And a candidate has to be pretty scared to attack the voters.

[struggle4progress]

59. Complain to local media about the Kerry/Hitler juxtaposition. eom

[calimary]

62. "Coalition of the Wild-Eyed." MAN, is THAT the best they can do for buzz

phrases? PATHETIC! Has ZERO ring to it. But does sound like they tried like hell to come up with something clever and, for all their focus groups and surveys and polls and pulse-takers, they still missed the mark. I mean, "Coalition of the Willing" is pathetic and weak and flaccid enough, already. If this was intended as a play on that wording, they're building a house of cards - on sand. This one is laughable. REALLY weak. For all their financial fire-power, one would think they'd have been able to come up with something a little catchier than this ridiculous drivel.

[NewYorkerfromMass]

they can go Fuck themselves. eom

[NewYorkerfromMass]

63. Kerry response was perfect:

``This is the kind of tactic you use when you can't run on your record. We agree that this isn't a time for rage or pessimism which is why America can't afford to let George Bush have another four years in the White House,'' said Kerry spokesman Phil Singer.

[dave29]

64. Bush and Cheney discuss Coalition of the Wild Eyed

Bush: Those are some major leage a$$holes.
Cheney: Big Time. They can go Fu@k themselves.
Bush: It's like they think they have a say or something.
Cheney: Yeah, right.

68. Chimp tested that little slogan the other day

He said he was "optimistic" - he said it in that slow halting southern baptist preacher way that he is so fond of. What an asshole.

[westhollywooddem]

71. Worried about Fareheight 911 too much!

I think that F911 will be equal to Mels's anti-semetic movie "Passions of Christ". The rethugs have blocked this movie and made it forbidden fruit that every person is dying to see because it's so contoversial.

Also, hello stupid ass fuckwads the American public is not voting for Dean and Gore.

[young_at_heart]

70. Where do I sign up to be a "Wild-eye"?

I really want to be part of this group and would feel privileged if asked to join!
