Those Crazy South Minneapolis Liberals...

...have the money to go with their social conscience. Now they have a 527 and an anti-Bush ad to boot.

Click here to go to Georgethemenace.org to see their ad and their website, or click here to read the whole story (I have included the first few paragraphs of the story below). Their ad is worth looking at. It's clever, but I can't say that furthers, much less opens, the dialogue that has been closed between the red and blue camps over the past 36 months.

From Minnesota Public Radio.org:

Minneapolis, Minn. — Had a handful of south Minneapolis neighbors simply gotten the Kerry-Edwards campaign yard signs they'd asked for this summer, they say they would not have ending up producing their own TV commercial.

Kelley Garry-Marschall came up with the idea while taking a walk around the neighborhood about a month ago.

"I think we were all just really frustrated by the way the whole campaign was shaking out. We wanted to do something because we felt like some issues weren't being addressed," she said.

What Garry-Marschall and a dozen friends came up with is a scathing 30-second attack on the Bush administration's war on terrorism.

The spot features archival videotape of Osama bin Laden, flanked by a few supporters, making an announcement in a desolate countryside somewhere, presumably in Afghanistan.

The fictitious translation has a street slang-speaking bin Laden crediting President Bush for bolstering his terror network.

"Those prison photos sent recruitment through the roof. Give it up for George W. Bush, the best friend international jihad ever had," the "translator" in the ad says.
