Streaming Video Outrage Deluxe
Don Waller of the generally excellent Take Back the Media comments on the well-rehearsed outrage of right-wing pundits over a submission to MoveOn's "Bush in 30 Seconds" campaign comparing Bush to Hitler. Waller points out, among other things, that the Republican National Committee's Ed Gillespie was, um, compelled to put the offensive submission on the RNC's own website to be able to complain about it, since it was one of the approximately 1500 entires that didn't make MoveOn's final cut.

UPDATE: Media Channel's Timothy Karr compares the media reaction to the MoveOn story to the reaction to the New York Post's comparison of Dean supporters to Brownshirts and the Gestapo, finding there is no comparison.
