Moveon.org had a contest for independent film makers. Somebody submitted
a short piece that compared the Bush administration to the Hitler
administration. It was up on the web site for a brief time, then moveon
took it down, saying that it was inappropriate. The funny thing is that
the only folks who actually aired the piece in a political ad were the
Bush campaigners. So they could complain about their injured feelings and
cast the Democrats as extremists. It backfired, apparently, because they
let it go quickly and turned to other tactics.
