so the point that has been missed is that the original ad was put together by someone entering a contest.

When moveon realized it, they removed it. Here is there response to the ad:

http://www.prweb.com/releases/2004/1/prweb97559.php

Please read it. It's the sort of ownership of the problem/disavowal of the content that we should see more of in politics.

So what we have is an attempt to imply that Kerry endorsed this. Or the implication that moveon endorsed/created this. Neither of which is true. One person submitted (anonymously?), and has created the firestorm.

The fact that this thread's readers missed this not so subtle point, is what the ad counts on. Sad to see it works.

It may be true that these practices are what others use. I would hope for better from the President of the United States. Shouldn't he be campaigning on his record, or something?
