WASHINGTON, June 26 (UPI) -- Another campaign ad surfaced featuring Adolf Hitler Saturday, this time coming from the Bush camp.
President Bush's campaign Web site was featuring an advertisement casting Senator John Kerry and his allies as a "coalition of the wild-eyed," blending clips of former Vice President Al Gore, former Gov. Howard Dean of Vermont, filmmaker Michael Moore, and Sen. John Kerry shouting about Bush. Interspersed are images of a shouting Hitler, the New York Times reported Saturday. The result appears to liken Gore and Dean to Hitler.
Earlier, an ad featuring Adolf Hitler appeared briefly on anti-Bush website MoveOn.org. That ad has since been removed.
Mary Beth Cahill, Kerry's campaign manager, sent out a fund-raising letter accusing the Bush campaign of "losing any last sense of decency" by posting the new advertisement.
Nicolle Devenish, spokeswoman for the Bush campaign, said, "We share Senator Kerry's outrage with what Kerry's surrogates created in the form of a Web video that was on MoveOn.org's web site."
Kerry campaign officials said MoveOn.org operated independently and the campaign had nothing to do with the posting of Hitler images on MoveOn.org.
