I'd never vote for Ron Paul, but this is a fantastic advert

That's a truly awesome add, it's horrible a shame that in this one issue he's like the stopped clock that's right once a day. I'd dearly love to see this idea promoted by a US politician who wasn't creepy and insane.

I love it. I'm also darkly amused that the people who will enjoy it most are people who would never think of voting Republican, never mind voting for Rove.

Ron Rocks - too bad he's also a libertarian lunatic.

Yup, he's right about some issues, and terribly, terribly wrong about some others.

I love how it's "OCCASSIONALLY" acting in good faith on bad information to cause "maybe even terrorising Americans" - as if it wasn't a coordinated and deliberate strategy. And as if that wsan't brought to lie with the point just a few second later about how yeah, they're torturing the fuck out of the "Americans".

Well, if it's a "you wouldn't like it if it were happening to you" example, it has to be about you.

The thing I really didn't like was going away from the unspecified invader to the Chinese.

My objection wasn't to the "being about Americans" part, it was to the characterisation of the atrocities in Iraq as occasional mistakes stemming from bad information. And then admitting, a minute later, that there's all kinds of torture and murder going on and that really *can't* be "occasional mistakes stemming from bad information"

Ron Paul does seem to be having quite a few Kinetic Typography ads this time; I saw another one about budget stuff; that one I didn't agree with the points made, but still went "Oooh, pretty"
