RIGHTWINGSPARKLE

This is the flyer MoveOn.org that they say "draws on themes from the Revenge of the Sith story to explain the very real threat to democracy posed by the nuclear option." Click on the link to see the commercial.

This is the script for the flyer:

The Republic stands at the brink of chaos. Seduced by a dark vision of ultimate power, one Senator schemes to destroy all opposition, replacing the old guardians of peace and justice with his own loyal minions. Sound familiar? We're not talking about a galaxy far, far away.

Right now, in Washington , D.C., Senator Bill Frist and radical Republicans are preparing to seize total control over our independent courts, long the defenders of freedom in our republic. To dominate the courts, Senator Frist is threatening to use the ultimate weapon, the "nuclear option," breaking senate rules to eliminate the right to filibuster - giving absolute power over judicial nominations to one party for the first time ever.

Then extremist judges from the far right could rule the highest courts in the land even the Supreme Court - where their power would last a lifetime. Our environment, our labor laws, our privacy -all would be in terrible danger.

Don't let them seize absolute power
Stop the "Nuclear Option"
Save the Republic

I don't think Frist will enjoy the Star Wars movie quite as much after this.

The script for the commercial is as follows:
