And it was an ignorant comparison

That "Coalition of the Wild Eyed" ad on Bush's website last week used clips clearly labeled as coming from the MoveOn.Org website. Those were the ones showing Hitler, and they were used by MoveOn to denounce Bush. The "Coalition" video used clips of Gore ranting, clips from MoveOn.Org (and clearly labeled as such), and clips of Dean and others ranting all in sequence. Go here and see ad for yourself. It's at the bottom of the page.

The video never said that Gore = Hitler, nor did it imply it in any way. Instead, it showed exerpts from the lunatic fringe ranting and comparing Bush to Hitler. Since when is showing what the loons on MoveOn.Org are saying a problem? Except, perhaps that it makes them look like the loons they are, and that's why the ad was so effective and why it raised such a stink - it showed Bush hatred in all it's ugliness.

George Soros, the billionaire behind MoveOn.Org, has compared Bush to Hitler.

Al Gore recently lashed out at "brownshirts" (people who dared to point out his lies). Who were the brownshirts?

In an ad contest, MoveOn.Org hosted several ads that directly compared Bush to Hitler. Two of them were among the 15 finalists, so they can't very well say they slipped through. After the stink was made known, they claimed to have removed the ads. Funny, one of them was found on their website just this week, only with a different name.
