1. I love this ad

short, sweet and to the point.

[MidwestTransplant]

2. ?

It sounds like he says "it wouldn't be impossible to be unseen in a unit of that size."

[ihaveaquestion]

4. I heard the opposite

Sounded to me like he said "It would be impossible to be unseen in a unit of that size."

[City Lights]

19. I heard it "would" have been impossible.... eom

[TriMetFan]

3. Well, Well.

I bet the media doesn't even bother with this.

[NewYorkerfromMass]

5. Site must be getting crashed

Had a lot of trouble getting through.

[MallRat]

6. This is irrelevant unless it gets free media coverage. n/t

[John_H]

37. Exactly, so what are we going to do about it? More importantly,

what is the kerry campaign going to do about it behind the scenes? Will each of our non-campaign team surrogates mention the web address on every show?

[Cocoa]

41. it would be illegal for the Kerry campaign to push this

it's up to us to pressure the whores to play this ad as "news"

[havocmom]

7. wish I had some money. That is a good ad!

Thanks for the link. Think it might be fun to send around :evilgrin:

[speedoo]

8. Great ad.

Let's hope it gets the exposure it deserves.

[HootieMcBoob]

9. That's what I'm talking about!

We have to demand that the television news programs give this as much air time as they did the swiftboat ads!

I'm writing CNN and MSNBC right now!

[Cocoa]

10. yep

I'm telling them they have no excuse for not airing it, after all their justifications for promoting the swifties.

[Kahuna]

11. "Suspended page" Does that mean that the host took the site down?

:shrug:

[NewYorkerfromMass]

12. they sure did. must have been a Bush fan

I viewed the site and the ad only an hour ago.

[Gregorian]

13. We broke their site. Probably exceeded their bandwidth allowance.

Damn! I want to see this ad. Must be good. Someone with a brain is making waves. YAY!

[Cocoa]

14. summary

a member of Bush's unit says he never saw Bush there. He called up his friends in that same unit, asked if they ever saw Bush, none of them did.

Asks Bush to tell us who he served with.

[Gregorian]

17. It's a very short clip. Do you think it's going to be effective?

I'm ready to throw money to them. I just hope it's not too short. Maybe that's just what we need- short and sweet. If so, let's get this on the air....

[Cocoa]

18. need to get it into the free media

need to get Mintz onto cable news shows, asking why Bush can't find anyone who served with him.

[Feanorcurufinwe]

35. If we get it on paid media first, free media will cover it

[desi]

16. It's still there...

...I just watched it...

George W. Bush: AWOL in Alabama

Texans for Truth, established by the 20,000-member Texas online activist group, DriveDemocracy.org, has produced a 0:30 second television advertisement, "AWOL." The ad features Robert Mintz, one of many who served in Alabama's 187th Air National Guard -- when Bush claims to have been there -- who have no memory of Bush on the base. In other words, Bush failed to fulfill his military duty while others were dying in Vietnam.

[Cocoa]

21. wonderful

[City Lights]

22. I sent this link to Hardball and Countdown

[AmerDem]

23. Short ad but VERY effective!

Is this being run locally or nationally?

[Killarney]

24. kick

[Teaser]

25. Site is slashdotted.

nt

[AmerDem]

29. what is "slashdotted"

I plead clueless!

[Feanorcurufinwe]

31. definition for slashdotted

[AmerDem]

34. got it

Thanks

[wndycty]

26. Now this is interesting. . .very interesting

:kick:

[nomatrix]

27. Lou Dobbs is a great choice

http://www.cnn.com/CNN/Programs/lou.dobbs.tonight/

Thanks for posting the ad site, Cocoa.

On a personal note, is that for Cocoa, Florida? And how hard did Brevard county get hit?

[Dying Eagle]

28. Great Ad

I wish I had some money to throw there way. We need this ad in Wisconsin. The swift boat liars are kicking our ass up here (at least from the question's I have been getting).

[cheshire]

30. I saw a guy on Faux yesterday say just the opposite, missed part of it

but have not seen since. I jump thru channels but if he's not on today I assume they dismissed his lyin ass.

[dogtag]

32. I heard something last night

on RW radio to the effect that 6 guys who served with AWOL came forward...blah, blah, blah. Don't know if the caller was talking about Texas or Alabama. Must be something going around in freeperville. (I'm in CA, but my local KABC radio station was airing the red beret guy from NYC over the weekend)

[A_Possum]

33. Just sent them $50

Hope they can get enough to get it out there.

I love that guy's accent. It's so smooth.

Compare to the First Faker's put-on nasal attempt at "Texan."

[John_H]

36. Fuck. These ads are going to put me in the poorhouse.

Every time I see great anti-bush ad, I can't stop myself from sending the creators money.

[NV1962]

39. Heehee

Spread the word, spread the truth!

(Copied text, lo-fi movie version and of course link to their contribution page here - let's rinse & repeat and kick this puppy from the bloggosphere into the mainstream media!)

40. Possible warning- Careful if you donate to this group.

I have read someone had a mixup in their payment. Sounds like it went to the wrong recipient. So, take a careful look yourself when you donate to make sure that you have been charged the correct amount.
