Lots of articles about the swing-state tour featuring Bruce Springsteen, John Mellencamp, the Dixie Chicks, R.E.M., Dave Matthews and others -- and they all had a bizarre quote from Bush's media director Mark McKinnon saying it was a shame these artists had decided to affiliate with a hate-filled fringe group. Huh? Not till I read the NYT piece did I realize he was referring to MoveOn.org. His justification? That long-ago competition they sponsored in which one entrant made mocking comparisons between Bush and Hitler that was on their website briefly among many other finalists before it was taken down. For that they're a hate-filled fringe group? Way to demonize those who disagree with you and add to the divisiveness in America, Bush.
JOHN'S ADDITION TO MICHAEL'S POST: It's a shame that Bush media director Mark McKinnon has decided to affiliate himself with a hate-filled candidate.
