The New Hitlers
Nazis. Communists. al Qaeda. MoveOn.org.
Move over, big nasties - the Republicans have found a new evil enemy. And this one's ALREADY IN AMERICA!
Yup, much like the President on Wednesday, Stantis sets his sights on that terrifying new threat to our way of life, MoveOn.org. However, I don't really think Stantis - again, much like the President - actually knows WHAT MoveOn is and what they do, other than they're liberal and on the internets so they must hate America.
If he did know anything about them, Stantis might have realized how stupid it is to say they would donate $2 million to Winslow's campaign. Using this conservative blog post as a reference, MoveOn hasn't even given a quarter of that in donations yet this year - and that's spread out over the presidential and congressional races. Obama's gotten $30,000, while Hillary brings up the rear with a piddly $5,000. Kind of a stretch to think they would donate $2 million to a candidate like Winslow. But what do I know, I'm not some big time conservative cartoonist who only keeps his job because I'm a Bush Backer.
I find it interesting that Stantis himself took the time to reflect on what happened this week - saved us some time here at Shrubville. It's almost as if he knew we'd end up doing it ourselves, trying to figure out what the heck he was talking about all week - like we have to do at the end of most weeks.
Question: how did Winslow come across like a Ron Paul wannabe?
But the big point of this "comic" was to bash MoveOn by having them give Winslow money, but not explain why. Of course the real joke is that Stantis didn't know why, and didn't want to spend any time trying to come up with a legit and funny reason, so we get Carmen's lame punchline. There's actually a lot of logic at work in their donations, Stantis - and it involves supporting the candidates they think have the best chance at defeating Republicans in the 2008 elections. But you wouldn't know that because I'm betting you don't even know what MoveOn.org is - you just heard Rush, Hannity, and W bashing them so you thought it would be cute to bash them too. Welcome to the party, pal - you're about two months late.
Next up: the menace that is Keith Olbermann!
Comments
Maybe Winslow came across as a Ron Paul wannabe because Paul is libertarian in his viewpoints on most things and Winslow supports the elimination of all leash laws. Yeah, now that I think about it, maybe Stantis's idea was to stick that in there as a parody of Ron Paul.
Only one problem: Winslow is a Democrat. Nice try, Stantis.
