So, the Bush=Hitler TV ads sponsored and funded by liberal 527 group move-on.org have been posted in this thread for everyone to view for nearly 24 hours and not a single comment?
and there's NOT a double standard in this forum?

Holy Crap those are awful. I hadn't seen or even heard of them before.
I don't know about a double-standard though. The Swift-boat-guys ad made a much bigger splash in the mainstream media and we all saw them so the reaction was bigger. Those ads you linked to I'm sure didn't even make it to television. I pay attention to this stuff and I've even been to the move-on website but I had no idea they even existed. Too fringe to be taken seriously maybe?
Also -- it isn't exactly a "left-wing" crowd that you usually find in these discussions on this board. The proprietors of the site and two of it's originalmembers (including you) are not exactly left-wing biased. The "double-standard" wouldn't work with this crowd, I don't think.
