Thread Name: BS: Seen the SUV = Terrorism Ad?
Subject: RE: BS: Seen the SUV = Terrorism Ad?
Look at the reaction to Sean Penn's ad in the NYT? Or was it the Washington Post? Anyway. Just because celebs like Sean Penn and Adrianna Huffington can raise enough capital to run a commercial or an ad every now and then, doesn't mean it is the right tactic to use to beat our enemies and win the whole shootin' match.

I'm concerned with using tactics that really work to the job that needs doing. Not naive grasping at straws to preach to the choir and make ourselves feel better about losing. There is much too much at stake right nowl. Remember, they still have all the guns, bombs, planes, and tanks, we don't. The CEOs own the judges, the editors, the heads of agencies whose mission is to keep the CEOs in check, etc etc etc. We have to be a whole lot craftier and smarter than them. I don't think copying their commercials being used to provide them with cover so no one sees the so-called war on drugs is the same war as the war on terrorism is the same war as the war on the environment is the same war as the war on civil and human rights, etc.
