Few politicians...PERIOD...have even explicitly condemned MoveOn.org's add about General David Patreus.
MoveOn.org may have similar views to Democrats, but have not declared itself as an engine of either political party. Therefore, WHY should Democrats be responsible for the isolated actions of the group MoveOn.org? WHY??

He's feigning anger with Clinton because she said to Petraeus:
"The reports that you provide to us really require the willing suspension of disbelief"
MoveOn's ad was a bit overboard, and Giuliani is exploiting that to try and associate Hillary with them. Frankly she's right, but Giuliani is a typical politician opportunist. Gotta bend the facts when it might get you a few votes!

MoveOn.org has definitely aligned itself with the democratic party. They have even given orders to Hillary and Obama that they must vote against any funding bill for Iraq that does not include a withdrawal date.
As for Giuliani being angry with them. Everyone in the country should be angry with them. By making the statement that they did in the wake of the recent pols showing the American people believe that decisions on the war should be made by the military and not the president and especially not congress.
MoveOn's statement that General Patreus is betraying his country before he even said a word, state matter of factly that they believe he is either lying or is a puppet.
If anyone is betraying us it is MoveOn. Let us remember that giving this report to congress was not his Idea but was done by the insistence of congress.
MoveOn shows their outright bias in this situation by making their statement before the General even had a chance to say a word. I wonder how they would have reacted if he had said that the immediate withdrawal of troops from Iraq is not only warranted but needed. Would he still have been a traitor?

i won't supply you with a precise region, yet I do decide to remind you that the Bible has been altered many cases by way of the years, and nevertheless it nonetheless includes an essence of actuality, this is impossible to declare this is each and every of the precise comprehend God. Christan pupils have confessed the incontrovertible fact that folk in positions of ability over the centuries have had the bible altered to healthful their needs or needs, and contained in direction of the countless translations lots of the actual messages have been lost. this is my concept that there became right into a factor of the bible at one time which condemned pedophilia, even nevertheless i'm helpful it became into very extremely "omitted" to healthful the needs of a few bishop or king. I come to this end as pedophelia is extremely condemned in the two Judiasm and Islam, Christianity's sister religions, and this is obviously suggested in the two books of the religions.

Giuliani is very naive if he thinks that the democrats are going to condemn MoveOn.Org's report - which pretty much was mirrored by the democrats themselves prior to the general's report.
It wouldn't be very wise to condemn your own policies and agenda.
It is self evident what the republicans and others who support our policy in Iraq think of this report - no rebuttal is needed or deserved for such garbage.

He isn't really angry, he's positioning himself to be the voice of the Republican Party against the democrats, and especially Hillary Clinton. He's trying to draw a line between himself and her to get people thinking of them both as frontrunners, so they'll start choosing sides now. It's a clever political maneuver if it works, because it both discredits his fellow republican candidates ahead of a sluggish Republican primary, and allows him to choose an opponent he thinks he can beat in the general elections.

See the thing that people are missing...from my perspective... is that he's not bothered by the action of criticism but the means by which it is done. It's just not constructive. It’s not useful. If you are going to speak with authority have some purpose behind it. The last thing we need in this country is more division. He's calling for some statesmanship and respect for the leaders.

Are you kidding me??? moveon.org is lobbying HARD for the democrats. And that ad degrading a great military leader and strategist was in extremely bad taste and was borderline treasonous. Guiliani had every right to be angry as does every American who actually loves their country.

Giuliani is a cross dresser, and married his cousin. He is also a dancer on graves of 9/11 victims. I believe I truly despise that man almost as much as Bush. I can only hope he reaps something very deserving soon.

democrats are as much responsible for what a private organization says, as republicans are responsible for what fox news and the like say.

Because Giuliani needs something to take attention for his poor judgement.
