TNOYF Uncovers Transcript From MoveOn.org Brainstorming Session
http://www.thenoseonyourface.com/200...rming-session/

The Nose On Your Face has uncovered the transcript of the MoveOn.org brainstorming meeting that produced the now infamous General “Betray-Us” advertisement in the New York Times.

MoveOn Chairman: All right folks, we are under a bit of a time crunch here. General Petraeus is set to speak to Congress in just seven days and we haven’t even begun to create an advertisement that preemptively maligns, discredits, and rebuts him yet. First things first. Dave, did you clear up that little snafu about paying the full advertising rates over at the Times?

Dave: Sure did. Turns out that the person I spoke with is new and was unaware of protocol. Shouldn’t be a problem again. Oh that reminds me, I’m going to neeed a purchase order for twenty-five bucks to cover the full-page spread.

MoveOn Chairman: Terrific. Okay, let’s start off by throwing some ideas, any ideas, out on the table.

Jim: How about we burn him in effigy?

MoveOn Chairman: Hmm. I like it, but it might be a bit too “Arab Street” even for the New York Times. What else?

Jeff: How about we burn him in actuality and then tell everyone he was a witch?

MoveOn Chairman: Okay, okay, build on that a bit….

Dave: Let’s use some logic here. It is common knowledge that Bush is the second coming of Hitler. Everyone knows that Hitler loved to swim…

Cathy: …and KILL!

Dave: Yes, but focus, Cathy. Where does one swim? A pond. What else swims in ponds?

Jeff: Diseased, oil-slathered beavers?

Cathy: Trout riddled with mercury because Bush didn’t ratify Kyoto?

Laura: Karl Rove’s fat mother?

All: Ha, ha, ha, that is rich-

Steve: Toads.

All: AH!

Dave: Exactly. And the relationship between witches and toads is exceedingly well-documented. Case closed.

MoveOn Chairman: Definite possibility. What else?

Laura: How about some sort of play on his name? Like “Slave-id Petreaus.” Get it? “Slave-id?” Because he is trying to make us slaves to the right wing machine?

MoveOn Chairman: Ooh. That’s good too. More?

Cathy: Or, David Petrol-us. Cause he’s all about the PETROL! NO WAR FOR OIL!

Laura: Ooh, ooh. How about- this is so cool- “Venereal Petreaus.” You see what I did there?

Jeff: No. Why can’t we set him on fire again?

MoveOn Chairman: Look closely, Jeff. Yes, Laura, yes I do. Damn. That’s strong as well.

Dave: I’ve got it! “General Betray-us!” Because what he will probably say clearly demonstrates that he betrayed us!

MoveOn Chairman: I’m not worthy. Folks, let’s take a minute to soak this up. We are in the presence of genius here. Genius. This is going to go down in history with “Bush Lied, People Died” and painting “War” at the bottom of “Stop” signs as one of the best progressive slogans of all time. Okay that’s a wrap. Let’s make this happen.

How utterly juvenile. The video is not even close to Rush Limbaugh's clever and funny satire. The left-wing Libs are even horrible at humor except to the affect that they think Hillary Clinton will be the next president. Now that's funny.

Y-you realize this was just some guy on Youtube making a silly joke and not some "Lib" political satirical jab, don't you?

Yes I do, but the guy is likely a Lib with a juvenile sense of humor. He just goes on and on with an obnoxious crying routine. OK...I'll chill, but it wasn't particularly amusing to me.

It was a parody of something else... an annoying fad called "Chris Crocker", he's a flaming queen who posts video after video on "Youtube", apparently he's gained an underground following, and is slowly becoming a minor celebrity.

I wasn't questioning your sense of humor, as its subjective, but how serious you took the video.
