Vote McGovern — Andy Warhol/Supernova: Stars, Deaths and Disasters 1962-1964 at the Walker right now

MoveOn.org has an ad campaign where Nixon morphs to Bush (here’s the ad). Been there, done that, but here we go again.

From their ad, a direct quote, they ask we consider these key facts (citations embedded):

* First, the president said publicly there was no such program. He said,
“Nothing has changed, by the way. When we’re talking about chasing
down terrorists, we’re talking about getting a court order before we
do so.” [1] He lied.

* For weeks, Gonzales, President Bush and others have insisted that the
wiretapping program was only applied to suspected terrorists [2]. But
just last Sunday, the Washington Post exposed that the program was
broad and not limited to suspected terrorists. In a nutshell, it’s a
fishing expedition and participants are increasingly “uncomfortable
with the mountain of data they have now begun to accumulate.” [3]

* And yesterday, the attorney general said that he could not assure the
Senate that the program did not eavesdrop on innocent Americans [4].

Yup, deja vu all over again…
