go, Dennis, go!!

Date: December 11, 2003 | 16 Shawwal 1424 Hijriah
Blog: veiled4allah
Subjects: kucinich
One of the reasons that I support Dennis Kucinich for president is that the man is absolutely fearless. Take on Enron-wannabe First Energy? Not a problem. Take on Diebold? Not a problem. Take on ABC News? Not a problem.

His latest plan is to take this Flash animation:

antiwar ad
(click to view animation)
and air it on TV in Iowa. Yes, that is a flag-draped coffin in the image. Watch the animation. Imagine that on TV in Iowa. Now do you see what I mean by fearless? There are people who consider it "treasonous" to say that our troops have died for nothing and some of them are willing to use threats and intimidation in their campaign against it (see next post).

If you're an antiwar activist and wouldn't mind helping out Kucinich to have this message be heard, you can donate solely for the purpose of airing the ad. Go here. Remember, all you Deaniacs, if Dean has the nomination sewed up as you say, there's no harm in helping out the candidate at the bottom in the polls. Give generously.

Note: Post edited after publication to clarify meaning

Aside: Interesting Atrios comments thread from about a week ago about the Flash animation.

I'm so delighted that Kucinich has taken up Eric Blumrich's invitation to appropriate this BushFlash ad for his campaign! Unfortunately, Eric's experienced harrassment as a result, and Kucinich's campaign is taking this to ther FBI. Blumrich's a genius, all his animations are spectacular.

Thanks for posting about the site, it's full of powerful messages, and links to plenty of Internet talk radio shows to feed my addiction...

I followed a link he posted for one of these radio sites, which linked to another site, which linked to an interesting but disturbing site that I found. Al-M, I thought you might want to take a look at this..."Women Living Under Muslim Law":

http://www.wluml.org/english/index.shtml

They claim to want to help women living in "Muslim" countries but it's got a very "Not Without My Daughter" smell to it.

I got that link from a site called "Women In Black" (http://www.womeninblack.net/) whose title caught my attention. Women protesting war and other things that impact women, and they do it, apparently, wearing black. Sounded interesting until I saw the abovementioned site linked on it.

That, in turn, came from "i.e. America Radio" which was linked on the Bushflash site.
