Operation Yellow Elephant - Update

Jesus' General is amazing.. Of course, it's something of a parody site, but what it does with it's parody is very real. They are very serious about the current mission they have undertaken.

Essentially, J.C. Christian (Jesus' General) has encouraged all his readers, as well as the blog-o-sphere as a whole, to get involved in a very real way.

This "Op" as he likes to call them, is a good one. The National Convention of the Young Republican's is in July, and Crooks and Liars tried to buy a full page ad in the official program. Their ad was rejected....

We are sorry but we must regretfully reject this advertisement. We feel that the tone of the message is too negative.

Here's the ad they wanted in the program:



Isn't that amazing? That kind of message was pushed by the government during WWII to get people to join the military, yet here we have the most ardent war supporters, bright young men and women of the perfect age (basically still kids) for military service, and they refuse to run an ad asking them to enlist.

They refuse to enlist. Why? You'd have to be insane to want to go to Iraq right now. They may be vicious partisan hypocrites, but they aren't stupid.

Actually - what they are, cowards.

** update **



Isn't that neat-o? Here we have the young Republican's with Republican Spokane mayor West. Remember West? He's the "I'm not gay" gay guy that likes to cruise for 18 year olds on-line, while frothing anti-gay rhetoric.

How come those very healthy looking young 'Pubs aren't in fatigues and getting ready to deploy to Iraq?

They are standing in front of an American flag made of balloons, so that means they're really patriotic and all that. I'll bet they have those yellow ribbon stickers on their cars to!

But that's not good enough..
