You may or may not have heard, but America is caught in a crappy war overseas right now in Iraq, where scum in civilian clothes are waving “Hi” to our soldiers to their faces and shooting them in the back as they walk past. Everyone who isn’t George W. Bush wants our troops out of Iraq; at least, every rational person I know. But you don’t have Oliver Stone make a 30-second TV spot for you calling for said withdrawal. Why? Because people hate Oliver Stone. Don’t believe me? How much money did “Alexander” make? Or “World Trade Center? Even when Stone makes a movie without politics, people still doesn’t go see them. But don’t tell that to MoveOn.org, who has sponsored these TV spots (below) by Stone.
There are two versions currently hosted on Moveon.org, a 30-second spot and the 60-second spot, plus many other videos about the making of the spots, etc. You’ll notice that the vet in the commercial conveniently mentions the Liberal “War is Bad” buzzword of the decade: “Abu Ghraib”. Geez, these guys have the subtlety of Dick Cheney shooting his hunting buddy in the face.
The 30-second version:
The 60-second version:
