There’s really no way to top USANext’s anti-AARP ad claiming that the colossal fogey-bund we’ve all come to know over recent decades is really no seniors organization but a secret anti-military-pro-gay-love organization.
(If you don’t know what we’re talking about you’ll want to see this post from yesterday to come up to speed.)
But one TPM Reader (D) noticed that the ‘filename’ of the ad run by USANext on the American Spectator website was ‘2.gif’. And he put two and two together, shall we say, and found these two other anti-AARP attack ads already on-deck at the Spectator website ready to get crackin’.
As I said, you really can’t top the first attempt by Rove’s front group USANext to get folks thinking that AARP either was the secret funder of Tongues Untied or part of a diabolical plot to enforce mandatory homosexuality in the armed forces.
But these two other samples are at least worth a look.
First, there’s this ad putting AARP in a line-up with other liberal hobgoblins Bill Clinton, Hillary, Jesse Jackson and Ted Kennedy as one of “America’s Liberal Powerbrokers” and then this one that let’s you participate in a “conservative flash poll” to determine which “organization is the MOST liberal.” Your choices are AARP, the ACLU, the NAACP and NARAL — sort of a right-wing phantasmagoria with everyone from the crooks’ lobby to the uppity negroes to the baby-killers, and now AARP, the notorious homo retiree outfit.
Who will take this to Rove’s doorstep?
