Truth stuns DU into silence?
« on: March 14, 2011, 07:53:21 PM »
Just saw an awesome ad put out by Crossroads, it's an anti union ad, here's the youtube of it:

[youtube=425,350]QaSnDrZNEg8[/youtube]

So I trotted over to DU to see if there were huge threads on it, I just found 3 links to threads and there are only 5 responses or less about the ad in each thread, which BTW the ad is brilliant!

It features the NEA's chief counsel.

Crossroads GPS airs anti-union ad
   
An arm of American Crossroads, the well-financed Republican super PAC, is going up on the air Wednesday with an ad taking aim at public employee unions and highlighting the aid President Obama got in his campaign from organized labor.

“Why are Democrats shutting down state capitals?” asks a narrator with images of the protesters in Madison, Wis., on the screen. “To protect a system that pays unionized government workers 42 percent more than non-union workers, a system that collects hundreds of millions in mandatory dues to back liberals who support government unions.”

Then-Chief Justice John Marshall observed, “Between a balanced republic and a democracy, the difference is like that between order and chaos.”

John Adams warned in a letter, “Remember democracy never lasts long. It soon wastes, exhausts, and murders itself. There never was a democracy yet, that did not commit suicide.”

No, my friends, there’s only one really progressive idea. And that is the idea of legally limiting the power of the government. That one genuinely liberal, genuinely progressive idea — the Why in 1776, the How in 1787 — is what needs to be conserved. We need to conserve that fundamentally liberal idea. That is why we are conservatives. --Bill Whittle

I'm shocked that there's not more outrage at the commercial.

Well, you're right, not much to say over there.  Chagrined silence.  I think the whole money laundering scheme is really starting to bug the population as a whole.  It stinks on ice, all of it. 

All I keep remembering is when I did student teaching (I started out in Education).  I was sent to a big public school in Toledo, OH.  The teacher's lesson plans for the day was to set everybody to do some private reading for the class time.  She then proceeded to herself read a trashy novel, then she wrote a personal letter to her son.  I don't think she taught a single shred of anything the entire time I was there.  Making the big bucks with complete job security.

I hope that the ad is running in October 2012.

I saw that yesterday on FNC and ^5 everyone involved. I love the DUmmies blaming Rove but you know something? I didn't see him holding a gun to anyones head making them say what they said on camera for posterity. It's an awesome commercial and it needs to play every day for the next 2 years.

Are you kidding?  Rove is far to smart for something like that.  I'm sure he used a tactic like kidnapping their families and threatenting them if the correct TEAbagger script wasn't said in front of the cameras.

Not only that, but the "Master Rove" mixes Kryptonite into his cheese dip - just because he can AND, it makes him stronger.

DUmmys hounding after "The Dr. Rove" is as effective to his demise as pissing on an atomic bomb detonation in hopes of extinguishing the fireball.
