Republican anger continues to mount over MoveOn's disgraceful ad in Monday's New York Times that referred to "General Betray Us."
Thursday night, Sen. John McCain (R-Arizona) voiced one of the sharpes rebukes of the far-left organization since the ad was first published.
Speaking in front of a group in Hudson, New Hampshire, while holding a blown-up copy of the ad, McCain said (video available here, h/t Gateway Pundit):
It's disgraceful, it's got to be retracted and condemned by the Democrats, and MoveOn.org ought to be thrown out of this country."
How delicious. Do yourself a favor and watch the whole thing. |

The piano is a neurological challenge as it involves most of the senses in playing as well as the physical body.
I'm not on a par with Lorna but I play guitar usually about 2 or 3 hours after work. Lots of classical but a wide range of music. Playing is very much like meditating in a way but it definitely gets the old synapses firing. I'm hoping that it keeps my brain as sharp as hers is....
Oh, I almost forgot. I told her the response she got from this thread and she was almost moved to tears. Thanks to you and your friends. |

Giuliani attacks Clinton in campaign ad
By LIBBY QUAID, Associated Press Writer
WASHINGTON - Republican presidential candidate Rudy Giuliani criticized Democratic front-runner Hillary Rodham Clinton in a full-page ad in Friday’s New York Times, accusing her of attacking Iraq war commander Gen. David Petraeus’ character.
The ad paid for by the Giuliani campaign attempts to link Clinton to another ad, paid for by MoveOn.org, a liberal anti-war group, that ran in the Times on Monday. The MoveOn ad accused Petraeus of “cooking the books” on the Iraq war and played off his name, asking, “General Petraeus or General Betray Us?”
Meanwhile, MoveOn’s political action committee will begin airing a new ad on television Monday that accuses Bush of a “betrayal of trust.” The ad will run from Monday to Friday in Washington on cable and nationally on CNN. The total ad buy is $60,000.
The MoveOn TV ad argues that, despite plans to withdraw about 30,000 troops added to the U.S. military presence in Iraq earlier this year, Bush remains mired in the war…
Responding Friday to Giuliani’s criticism, Clinton campaign spokesman Phil Singer said, “It’s hardly surprising that Mayor Giuliani is running the first negative ad of the ‘08 campaign, given his inability to justify his unqualified support for President Bush’s failed Iraq strategy.
“Senator Clinton respects Gen. Petraeus’ service to our country. She knows the best way to honor our soldiers is to end the war in Iraq and bring them home,” Singer said.
A conservative group, Freedom’s Watch, which supports President Bush’s Iraq war strategy, also plans a print ad in the Times and has demanded the same $65,000 rate that the liberal group paid for its full-page ad. Giuliani is getting the same rate.
>>>>>Well, it looks like the New York Times can still be shamed.
Of course that’s not the case with MoveOn.org or Hillary Clinton.
“It’s hardly surprising that Mayor Giuliani is running the first negative ad of the ‘08 campaign…”
You have to have a conscience to feel shame.<<<<< |
