GOP: Channeling Hitler to Make a Point

Another issue brews again that had the Republicans calling MoveOn.Org a collection of treasonous people when Hitler's image appeared briefly in just one of hundreds of ad contest entries, and yet now that the GOP has embraced Hitler, it's "the right thing to do." Sheesh.

From the AP:

Adolf Hitler's image has surfaced again in the White House race. President Bush's campaign is featuring online video of the Nazi dictator, taken down months ago from a liberal group's Web site and disavowed, in a spot that intersperses clips of speeches by Democrats John Kerry, Al Gore and Howard Dean.

Democrats want the video pulled from the site. Campaign aides said it would remain.

Republicans had criticized the group MoveOn.org in January because it briefly posted an ad contest entry that linked Hitler and Bush. It showed images of Bush with text saying, ``God told me to strike at al-Qaida,'' before turning to images of Hitler with the words, ``And then He instructed me to strike at Saddam.'' The submission ended with the words, ``Sound familiar?'' on a black and white screen
