Glenn Greenwald over at Salon writes: “The House Republicans have produced a new dramatic ad complaining about expiration of The Protect America Act and demanding immediate passage of the Cheney/Rockefeller Senate bill — thus vesting in the government the power to spy on us with no warrants and vesting in the telecom industry license to break the law with no consequences — as the only way for us to avoid imminent, violent death. The ad – entitled “America at Risk” – should immediately be mounted on a museum wall under a plaque that reads: “The Republican Party in the U.S., 2001-2008 (and counting).”
The video is not only awful, but a direct knockoff of an ad for the 24 series television show. It’s as close to propaganda that I have ever seen here in the United States, almost comical in its fervor. Let me know what you think.
