Ok, let's brainstorm a good DNC response ad to the "White Flag"

[ruggerson]

If the RNC can play juvenile so can we.

How about Bush lying in the state of the union and his nose keeps getting longer and longer until he turns and it SMACKS Cheney and Hastert sending them flying off the podium.

Or Soviet-style Stormtroopers as they break in and ravage a quite suburban house in the middle of the night, waking terrified small children and freaking out their parents with the caption "The New Patriot Act... brought to you by the freedom loving Republican party"

or....

other ideas.... ????

1. how about Murtha say some more about 5-deferments-Dick

Cheney, Speaking From Experience

Calvin Trillin


When shells fall close and smoke is thick,
Real tough guys never run. They stick.
Or so says Five Deferments Dick.

No wavering--no he's a brick.
To cut and run would make him sick.
Or so says Five Deferments Dick.

Appeasers cannot take a lick,
But tough guys bite and gouge and kick.
Or so says Five Deferments Dick.

3. I like the idea of chickenhawks

because they're REALLY sensitive about it.

How about some chickens pecking around a barnyard, and a quiet list scrolls down the screen of every Republican who's evaded service and how they did it.

No sound except for the sound of the chickens.

2. I have an idea. Put you in charge of DNC media productions!

Both good visuals. The Dems have all the creative people. Why aren't we kicking butt in this arena?

[Guckert]

4. How about this

We have
Tom Delay taking money for votes
then switch to Scooter libby lying to the grand Jury
Followed by the clip of Bush searching for WMD at the corespondents dinner
switching to tapes of James west calling gay porn numbers
headlines of Guliani and Newt, cheating on their wives
ending with Cunningham sailing away on the Duke-stir

all these clips mixed in with flag draped coffins from Iraq.

at the end, announcer: "The party of Morals, Family values, and the Rule of Law?" trailing laughter.

6. OK, you've got the job

When can you start? What kind of budget do you need? Can I bring you a coffee?

[ingac70]

5. How about this....

a commercial with the video footage from last year when * said his administration never stops thinking of new ways to harm America.

7. We should respond by going on the offensive about Iraq

We should accuse the Republicans of playing politics with the war. How 2,000+ Americans have died for their lies.

Then we should call the hawks out on their lies, and how they continue to lie and deceive the nation on the war.

We should call for the Republicans to set up a timetable with measurable results or withdraw.

We should end the ad by saying that: "No Republican attack can change the truth about what is happening in Iraq!"

[Guckert]

8. Why cant we take quotes and blatantly take them out of context

so it makes bush, cheney and other GOP bottom feeders say really bad stuff like
Bush "We need to surrender to the terrorists because they are so scary"

Cheney " If i wasn't so busy getting 5 deferments i would have kicked ass in Nam"

Rummy " I sure am glad our Party is filled with the stupidest neanderthals that ever existed, or they might catch on to my endless Bullshit."


the GOP has no problem doing it, why cant we?

9. Remind people that cutting taxes on rich, waging an expensive war abroad

and running a current account deficit caused terrible inflation and economic problems for years after the vietnam war and that it will probably happen again if we continuing doing what we're doing.

[DianeG5385]

10. Demand equal access on every station this airs on

And sue their asses if they refuse. I agree that we show that the white flag wavers are the chicken hawks who DID NOT and WILL NOT SERVE. This is another diversionary tactic to distract us from how they are robbing us blind! They use this ideological crap and their dumbed down base, so fearful will follow them anywhere! We need to show a long list of how they did not serve and let others die in their place, then show CSPAN excerpts of their tax cuts for the rich. Then we need to quote from the founding fathers to counter their ideologial BS. Then we need to demand reinstitution of the fairness doctrine.

11. Tape the commericals in Fallujah...

with some white phospherous footage of the newly freed Iraqi's. Ain't democracy grand!

[skipos]

12. Post #3 in the link below is good.

By the way, wow can link directly to a post, instead of the whole thread?

13. Veitnam! remind them of ALL the lost opportunities to pull out... all the

times we could have left. remind the people of how many insurgent terrorists are being generated by our continued presence there... remind the US taxpayer about the 100,000,000,000 dollars that WONT be spent on health care, education, defense, roads, or repairing the damage from Katrina and Wilma... remind them of how fast our kids are dying now and compare and contrast that to Veitnam (the numbers are greater per day, as i understand). show them body bags, show them the coffins draped with flags, remind them that it's illegal to photograph our returning dead. show them footage of our brave soldiers in hospitals missing arms, legs, eyes, parts of their brains, holes in their abdomens, with lost faces, lost scalps, lost feet and hands... compare and contrast the life of a 18 year-old kid who goes to college to that of one who is trapped in Iraq, not knowing what he's fighting for... tell them that Republicans are showing their true colors, blood red... put a blood red flag in front of bush's face and wave it around...

14. Where are Bush's comments about....

where he said "the war on terror cannot be won"...That would just about do it, in my opinion. :)

15. Show some soldiers corpses

Show why Chimpy McHitler is a subhuman cannibal.
