I saw this on TV during Hardball yesterday afternoon and thought it must have been a parody. It isn't:
The funny thing is that as far as I can tell this is not a very public campaign. Apparently he's just sent it to his email list to raise funds for an ad buy in LA. You can't find it on the regular web-site or YouTube. Odd.
For those who doubt it when I say that the Republicans have retired the concept of hypocrisy, I'll just link to this:
In one "RNC Research Briefing," the RNC recycled an attack on MoveOn.org, stating, "Two Ads Comparing President Bush To Adolf Hitler Appeared On MoveOn.org Voter Fund Website," referring to ads that were submitted for a contest held by MoveOn.org. However, as the non-partisan Columbia Journalism Review's website The Campaign Desk noted in its "Distortion" column, while "at least one [ad] was posted briefly on the organization's website ... MoveOn quickly removed it and disassociated itself from the offending ads."
Rush Limbaugh took the RNC assertion about the ad one step further during his May 26 radio show, saying, "MoveOn.org, this is the wacko bunch that is doing ads equating Bush with Hitler." A May 27 article by David Horowitz (co-written by Ben Johnson and published in Horowitz's online FrontPage Magazine) contained similar comments: "Gore appeared before the MoveOn.org, a radical group which had already compared Bush to Hitler."
