The crypto-fascists who brought you Swift Boat Veterans for Truth have a new target: the AARP, the most powerful opponent of W's plans to gut Social Security.

Here's the ad they're running on conservative web sites:




Right, because typically old people HATE THE MILITARY and LOVE GAY MARRIAGE.God, everyone knows that.

The ad doesn't link to an enumeration of an argument, just to the site of a GOP front organization called "USANext," to which I will never, ever link.

These people have no shame. To the extent that there is such a thing as a "moderate Republican," how can such people in good conscience stand idly by while their party pursues their agenda with gay-baiting and lies? Silence=complicity, kids.

I got scooped by Josh Marshall (as it will ever be) on this story. Here's more (and links to more ads) from Talking Points Memo:
First, there's this ad putting AARP in a line-up with other liberal hobgoblins Bill Clinton, Hillary, Jesse Jackson and Ted Kennedy as one of "America's Liberal Powerbrokers" and then this one that let's you participate in a "conservative flash poll" to determine which "organization is the MOST liberal." Your choices are AARP, the ACLU, the NAACP and NARAL -- sort of a right-wing phantasmagoria with everyone from the crooks' lobby to the uppity negroes to the baby-killers, and now AARP, the notorious homo retiree outfit.
