It is interesting to see someone use the "Bush did it, so it's okay" defense. (If it wasn't okay when Bush did it, then bring up Bush isn't an argument.)
However, even the snark is wrong because there was alarmism and criticism from the right and left. See for example http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A9WKimKIyUQ&feature=player_embedded http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A9WKimKIyUQ&feature=playe... which, according to
http://www.guardian.co.uk/media/2010/jan/24/super-bowl-ads-controversy http://www.guardian.co.uk/media/2010/jan/24/super-bowl-ads-c... was produced by moveon.org for the 04 superbowl (cbs declined to run it).
What? Moveon.org isn't complaining this time?
- Vivtek 17y agoI don't know about Moveon. But Evan Bayh, my Senator, is suddenly all about the fiscal discipline this year. I never heard from him earlier. So I am really pissed at the selectivity of the fiscal discipline mavens, because I personally would rather have functional health care for my family than be outspending the rest of the world on war.
