Okay, friends list. You are registered voters, I hope. And at the very least, you care about what is going on in this country. So would you PLEASE help me figure out this Bush ad? (It should be in the middle of the page, with the heading "New web video, this is not a time for pessimism and rage")

So is the ad comparing Democrats to Hitlerr, or is it comparing Bush to Hitler? For chrissakes, it has a picture of Hitler, audio of Hitler speaking in German, a picture of Bush after that doing a really weird sieg heil thing and a subtitle that spans the two saying, "God told me to strike at al-Qaeda, and I did. Then God told me to strike at Saddam, which I did." And then it's all, "Gray skies'll cheer up!/Put on a happy face!"

Help me, please. My head HURTS SO MUCH.

Those Hitler out-takes are from ads submitted to Move On for their anti Bush campaign. They never made it to the finals, they never won, but Republicrats (or Demolicans or whatever they call themselves) were outraged at their very existence, hence sticking them in this ad which is clearly designed to portray foes of the benevolent, kind, and calm Emperor George as hysterics.

I knew about the Move On ads, which were removed from the anti-Bush contest, but I don't know how they expect the average shmuck to know about that, unless the right-wing echo chamber publicized that better than I know about. The way the ad is constructed still puzzles me. I mean, I *know* what it's supposed to say, and it still doesn't jibe with what it seems to say. The whole Bush quote under the picture of Hitler seems... ill-advised. The ending makes it all better though.
