You don't know extremist
The Washington Post (sign up -it's worth it) records MoveOn's response to the Swiftboat Veterans anti-Kerry ad (I'm not going to link it, find it yourself).
"George Bush: Take that ad off the air," says the 30-second spot from MoveOn.org PAC. {...} The MoveOn response -- airing in the same four markets in Ohio, West Virginia and Wisconsin, and on CNN and Fox News -- begins by attacking President Bush's military record. {...} The ad quotes Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) as calling on the Bush campaign to condemn the "dishonest and dishonorable" ad.
Bush campaign spokesman Steve Schmidt called MoveOn "an extremist organization" making "completely baseless attacks." Schmidt said, "They have continued that tradition with this one, impugning the honorable service of the president in the Air National Guard." Noting that the campaign has praised Kerry's military service, Schmidt repeated Bush's call for both campaigns to denounce all ads by independent "527" groups, far more of which have aired in support of Kerry. But he did not denounce the content of the Swift boat group's ad."
I would like to say that this administration doesn't know the meaning of the word extremist, but the fact is, they do, and they disrespect each of the 1068 US & coalition troops killed and 5867 (officially) wounded every time they toss it around to describe those who disagree with them.
Whew. Just rescued the cat from a cornered mama opossum. Betcha that damn Barney couldn't take on an opossum.
