The GOP's Fight Against AARP
So far, AARP seems to be winning. The silly USA Next ad got yanked from the American Spectator's website. That should tell you something. (First off, the "Swift Boat" lie ads were launched not on a tiny right-wing mag, but on mainstream network and cable TV. Second off, they weren't yanked after a day -- they stayed on the air nationwide for months, right up into November. If USA Next can't keep its crappy ads running for twenty-four hours on a privatization-friendly GOP mag's website, you know that they weren't going over well among the target market.) By the way, AARP is mobilizing its membership for the fight -- and some of the members have already taken action on their own.
