So, I head on over to the MSNBC website to read an opinion piece called "The Wellstone Effect", which posits that the Democrats may be able to ride the death of Paul Wellstone all of the way to significant gains in the upcoming elections.
About halfway down, you run into an animated add from MoveonPAC.org
Here is a shot of the"completed" add:
So, while Tedd Rall puts forth conspiracy theories in which Bush assassinates Wellstone one just has to wonder: who REALLY benefits from the death of Paul Wellstone? Hint - they were basically dancing on his grave during the memorial rally.
UPDATE:
Here's the crappy little spam e-mail I received after downloading the poster from their website:

Subject: Regime Change Begins at Home
I just got a sign for my car that says "Regime Change Begins
at Home. Vote." You can download one, too, at:
https://www.moveon.org/PAC_regimechange/
Here's why I think it's important:
The Bush Administration is brilliant at marketing. The folks that
are working for Bush are so good at this that if you watch the news,
you get the idea that everyone agrees with him.
Of course, we all know that that's not true. Most Americans are quite wary of the war on Iraq, and a whole lot of us see the President as playing a cynical election-year game. The problem is that without the attention of the media, this dissent is hard to see -- ordinary people don't hold press conferences to tell the world what they're thinking.
That's where we can help. MoveOn.org PAC put together a placard
that you can put in your car window. You can download the placard for
free at:
https://www.moveon.org/PAC_regimechange/
If enough of us download these, print 'em up, and stick them on our car or in our windows, we can begin to create a culture of engagement
and patriotic dissent. We'll amplify our voices. We'll help to elect
the candidates who can help us out of this mess. And we'll help to fire the ones that are on board for Bush's endless war.
With your help, we can out-market the masters.
