A Call to Arms
Or keyboards.
The campaign to link the word waffles to John Kerry has gotten attention.
MoveOn thinks they�re shrewd by buying the Google Adword waffles.
Gee� so shrewd that if people click, it depletes MoveOn�s coffers.
As they say in Chicago, click early, click often.
Here� let me point you to the Google results.
UPDATE: It now seems that MoveOn's link at Google has disappeared.
Either they have chickened out, or Google has pulled the link. Or both.

I'll settle for making them spend $$$ to protect Kerry.
You know, the guy they're not connected to in any way (wink, wink).

That's pretty stupid on MoveOn's part, but what else would you expect from them.
I'm not seeing an adwords link on the right-side bar at google.com. Did they chicken out already?

Actually Jon, it does seem that they have wussed out.
I logged off and then back on and tried it, only to find them missing.

Hahahahaha! I wonder how much it cost them before they got a clue to their own stupidity

I don't know how the google ad things works, but you think maybe you buy a certain number of "clicks" and once they've been used up the ad rotates to the next guy in the queue? Totally speculation, but that could be why it disappeared so rapidly... buncha people clicking close together.

AdWords works like what Mollbot says.
Want a double guaranteed winning strategy?
Bookmark https://la4israel.org/wordpress/#googleads and look for and click lefty GoogleAds on my site. It pays me and depletes the funds of the enemy.
