Finally, a right wing version of MoveOn.org is here! And they are focused! Welcome FreedomsWatch.org!

This is the point where the movie trailer is interrupted by the sound of a needle scratching across a record. Someone should tell these guys that there is zero evidence linking terrorism to Iraq. Zero. They should check out these other countries named Pakistan, Saudi Arabia and Afghanistan.

Super. I’ll stop wanting to quit when you kids can actually define “victory.”

Um, the cavalry already controls this thing called the White House. There is also this small channel called Fox News and one or two conservative talk show hosts on the radio. But thanks for pitching in.

Okay, but you should know that the White House (cavalry) is writing General Petaeus’ report, so it’s more like Bush’s report. And those who want to “cut and run” are known as the “majority.” Thankfully, Ari Fleischer hit the press circuit today, saying exactly what was already on the website.

Is the cavalry named “Orwell,” you walking cliché? Seriously, through Ari, where you been? Last I heard you were spreading the name of a covert CIA agent around town. Welcome back!

There is a big difference between the two groups. Disenfranchised liberals started MoveOn. FreedomsWatch was created by and funded by “high-profile” Republicans, many who have worked for Bush in the past.

MoveOn is the ultimate example of a grass roots movement, while FreedomsWatch is the opposite. Two owners of a software company originally created MoveOn.org to oppose the impeachment of Clinton. The original name was "Censure and Move On." At the beginning, MoveOn even had moderate Republican members. The group was an overnight sensation. Soon, MoveOn became a major player by using small donations to raise large amounts of money. Their success was unprecedented.

FreedomsWatch.org is the opposite. The group is just another extension of the Bush cult of personality, made up of rich, well connected, Washington insiders. Best of all, FreedomsWatch has decided to base their group on one man and his very unpopular war. That should work out great.

The people running the group are also apparently advertising idiots.

Preach to the converted much? MoveOn focuses their attacks on close election races or in areas where they want to change opinions. MoveOn does not run ads in New York City or San Francisco because they are not retarded. People in those areas are already on their side. The same cannot be said for Freedomswatch. Running ads on Rush Limbaugh’s show and Fox News is a colossal waste of money.

Other ads will air in districts or home states of Republicans who have begun to voice disappointment with the progress of the war. So, basically, FreedomsWatch.org are going after Republicans, not Democrats. Keep up the good work and fight amongst yourselves.

Oh, fuck yes. If only your side had gotten a fair shake and been able to explain the terrorism/Iraq connection, just once, instead of the 944,638 times that we’ve had to endure the past five years. Nobody is buying it, dipshits. But please keep pouring your money down that hole because it is amusing me.

Here is one of the delightful ads.



It’s no time for politics? Uh, then why are you making a political ad, soldier? There is nothing like showing your amputated legs in a political ad to show how you are not being political.

Ads such as this will only solidify people’s opinions on the war. Most minds are already made up. And FreedomsWatch won’t work as a grassroots website for Bush followers because they are already highly organized. It is entirely unnecessary. MoveOn only exists to counter the right wing machine.
