Possible Response to GOP 'White Flag' ads?
Photos of Katrina victims, the devastation in the Gulf areas, etc., with the words:

"Our fellow citizens need our help-- but THEY want to CUT & RUN".

4. Another idea - "Why is the GOP displaying their White Robes in Ads?"

5. Oh, easy.
Show a series of clips of Hummers and other American vehicles getting blown up by those 'IEDs'.
Then still photos of the draped coffins getting offloaded at Dover AFB.

Then just the caption: "Has President Bush really explained to you what our sons and brothers are getting killed for in Iraq?"

7. How about photos of the Katrina victims waving a white flag.
and a narrator that says,
"The Republican's are fighting for tax cuts at the expense of those devastated by this summers disasters. These American citizens are the victims of class warfare, and the Bush administration will show them no mercy.

We cannot rebuild New Orleans because we're spending the money on Iraq in a pathetic attempt to save their political skins.

Like his father before him George W. Bush and the Republican Party have abandoned America's citizens and the domestic agenda in favor a a foreign agenda.

No more lies! No more blood for oil. No more tax cuts for cut and run millionaires that take their cut and run to put their money in offshore banks. It's time to bring the troops home and and rebuild America."

10. Counter with a White Feather campaign
I suggest we take the chickenhawk campaign national....

The Republican party: Don't look at us--we just start fights and duck.

We support the troops....from way-y-y-y-y-y-y-y back here!

Operation Yellow Elephant--keeping America's Republicans safe!

Faux Fighting Men: We don't report; You die.

The Few, The Proud, The We're Not Going Anywhere Near the Shooting....

Of course the war can be won--we're staying out of it.

The Army: It's not just a job, it's somebody else's job.

11. Can we expand this thread ...
... with some 'snappy comebacks' Dems featured in the ads can use when on talk shows, etc.?

Howard Dean, if asked about the ads, could say: "Yeah, that photo of me with the white flag was taken totally out of context. The Republicans challenged we Democrats to a contest as to which party has the most corrupt politicians. I immediately surrendered; there's no way we could match THEIR numbers."

13. 10 second spots of Murtha saying "Cut the Crap. Debate the
Issues." 3 different angle shots. Scroll on bottom. Quit trying to swiftboat this man. He served.
