Just saw the wolves ad and all I can say is.......

[sidwill]

wwwwwwwwwwwwwweeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaakkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk.


This obvious attempt at fear mongering is gonna "bite" the Repukes in the ass.

[Catfight]

1. The Eagle Democrat Ad is awesome! Rove is using what he knows

a pack of wild dogs stick together and eat their young...just like the repugs do. Bye bye Bushies....can't wait for the history books to put in text: Worst President in America history was the first appointed President by a Supreme Court, George W. Bush.

Georgie...we won't be fooled again.

[havocmom]

2. Ahem, wolves do not eat their young

in fact, they are better at parenting than most humans. Certainly they are better behaved than Rove/neocons/any terroritst you wanna name.

They raise the young sorta like that 'it takes a village' point Hillary tried to make - EVERYONE in the pack looks after the well being of the next generation. They take care of their own with concern and intelligence. They fend off threats with great courage and cunning.

If wolves could vote, they would vote Kerry.

[MoonRiver]

3. I've also heard that only the alpha male and female mate and reproduce.

Yet the entire pack protects and raises the babies like they were their own pups.

[havocmom]

11. That is correct. Much care is lavished on the young

and the pack population does not overwhelm the environment.

We could learn much from the wolves.

[MoonRiver]

18. Truly.

[jean]

20. No wolf cub is left behind. Literally.

[Anakin Skywalker]

19. HavocMom and SayWhat, you are both correct.

I'd like to say that I find a lot of animals to be better behaved than those arrogant, smug, and boorish freepers out there who insist that this planet and all its inhabitants belong to them.

[MoonRiver]

24. I totally agree with you.

Long before I knew what a freeper or Repuke was I would rant and rave about how horrible humans can be. We've extinguished or brought to the brink of extinction species after species for our own gluttonous desires, wrecked havoc on the environment, and we even routinely murder our own offspring, or psychologically damage them so much that they wish to be dead. Despite our awesome reasoning ability and vast capacity for creativity, I feel our reign on this earth has caused much more damage than good. And now that we've taken down every other living thing, people like * seem hell bent on finishing the job off with global annhilation. :crazy:

4. Makes we want to watch "Dances With Wolves"

The wolf in that film was pretty cool.

[yardwork]

10. Read or watch "Never Cry Wolf" by Farley Mowat

Mowat camped out in the arctic near wolves and wrote about what he observed. A movie was made from the book.

Mowat discovered that the wolves ate very few caribou. They mostly subsist on arctic rodents. The wolves treated Mowat with respect and didn't attempt to hurt him in any way. Mowat observed how the entire pack took care of the young.

A few years later all the wolves he observed were dead - killed by poachers with machine guns in helicopters.

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

13. I've seen the film - it was pretty good

And it gave me reason to think that wolves are not that dangerous to man. I've read somewhere that there have been very few attacks by wolf packs on humans in nature. Wolves are afraid of man.

[Leilani]

31. Wolves are shy & afraid of man

And no, the myth of wolves attacking people is just that: a myth.

Wolves are beautiful creatures, & what has been done to them by man is truly heartbreaking.

My son gave me a gift of wolf adoption, through a Save the Wolves Foundation. They sent me news & pictures & it was wonderful.

[G_j]

36. I spent a month

this last summer helping to care for wolves and wolf/dogs here:
www.saintfrancissanctuary.com

I truly felt honored to be in the presence of such wonderful creatures. Some of them had been abused, trapped, shot and confined to small quarters. Even though they can't run free, they have good sized runs and we would take them for walks. It was so good to see their lives improved and peaceful. I truly became a wolf lover.

[hlthe2b]

21. ohhh... can't watch the scene where the wolf (or the horse) is killed...

wrenching..... I just can't to see the animals (more evolved than most humans in the film) killed!

[Leilani]

27. Thats why I won t watch that movie...

I hate it, because the wolf gets killed.

[blondeatlast]

5. Baaaaaaaaaaad ad. Baaaaaaaaaaad ad.

What's with her pauses, anyway.

If this is the best, BRING IT ON!

[polmaven]

6. Did you hear the audience

at Crossfire laughing as it was shown? I thought Paul Begala was gonna bust a gut!

[cheezus]

7. republicans are crying wolf again

that commerical will be as effective as raising the terror level to orange

[timezoned]

26. Crying wolf is a brilliant idea- it fits

the NY Times article this morning- condemning them for using threats of attacks in the campaign, thus weakening their ability to warn of a real threat.


You know, this ad is so ridiculous it might just be the new poster boy for how juvenile and well, ridiculous he is. I bet you anything JS on the TDS picks it up and runs with it.

[LittleClarkie]

8. The Dem answer should be

A wolf chewing on a chickenhawk. The ad ends with the wolf cacking out the helmet.

[ElsewheresDaughter]

9. i like wolves...they are beautiful animals ...StandsWithFist

[bushwakker]

12. They are copying the Reagan "Bear in the Woods" ads

a new chapter from the same old playbook.

[ReverendDeuce]

15. Link to ad? I've still not seen it... n/t

[bushwakker]

33. No link

1984 Reagan ran ads that said "There's a bear in the woods..." footage of a bear representing the USSR roaming around. There is some kind of campaign ad archive online somewhere - if you google you'll find it.

[AP]

14. Hope triumphs over fear every time. FDR taught us that.

Americans are nothing if not optimists. It's our greatest protection from fascism. Europeans have a history of misery, war, and fear. Americans have a history of reaching for the sky. That's why people like Bush and Cheney will almost always lose to people like Kerry and Edwards.

[AnIndependentTexan]

16. wonder what the animal rights activist are going to say about this

[Fleshdancer]

17. Makes me want to go out and buy a red hooded cape

Atleast the wolves were adorable. :)

[timezoned]

22. Someone who's good at video please

take the wolves ad and cut it with the pet goat scene.

(menacing voice) Those who would harm us....(images of wolves) ..(image of reading my pet goat)....

(sound of goat bleating) did nothing to protect us....(image of pet goat reading, looking puzzled and lost)...(wolves, goat, wolves running away, reading in chair continues)


and so on. I'd do it if I knew how.

[disneyboy]

23. Why Dont..

They just use the footage from T2 where Linda Hamilton is looking at the play ground and then they all fry/disingrate?? Or use the last scene from T3??

[Radio-Active]

25. I thought the wolves were cute

Not a scary ad at all.. they need to work on their fear-mongering.

[timezoned]

30. Too much dancing, not enough prancing

28. BOO!

Be afraid! Be verrrry afraid!

29. The Wolves spot is such a failure the RNC has already recut it...

AaaaaOOOOOOOOOOgah!! :D

[timezoned]

32. Conclusion is: This thing needs to get ridiculed far and wide

hey, they asked for it on this one, not anyone's fault but theirs.

[kostya]

34. Wow, I hope they paid a LOT for that trash

That is so sophomoric. Nice doggies. They look like they're going to run up and lick my hand. I'm surprised they didn't have them crowded around a fresh kill (oops, better not give them any ideas).

[AZ1JoeT]

35. My idea for a simple ad

What happens if Kerry doesn't win?

The democracy.
The DEMocracy.
The DEocracy.
The Docracy.
The ocracy
Theocracy.
