Yeah. I am. Let it go. They were within their rights to place the ad. I've seen worse smears from Republicans - even from the Rove camp.

I am.
Conservative talkshow host celebrities and PAC's regularly call Democrats traitors including members of Congress and the Senate ,some even for the hanging of Democrats who say anything critical about the war or President Bush.The swiftboat incident is already mentioned.An Coulter attacks 9/11 families,people with cancer and uses terms far more severe than betrayer.
That Move on ad was factual and it only had one reference to betraying in the form of a question.If anything it's mild.
This is a double standard.It's time for the left in America to stand up and say enough.Enough with the right wing hypocrisy.You don't have to agree with Move on but it was free speech and more tasteful than the many weekly,daily insults the far right sends out through Fox news, hate radio,blogs and other loose canons.

I am sick of it too. It's just another diversionary tactic by the WH to turn attention away from what the Hand is really doing. Magicians use these tricks all the time. Why does our president have to hide behind his Generals skirt tail to sell his war anyway. Petraeus should have resigned before he let Bush ruin his career. Maybe just maybe the democrats are wanting to focus on the war and the economy, not advertisements Mr. President.

I agree there is a lot of hypocrisy from the republicans here - did they ever condemn Coulter's numerous vile statements witha senate resolution? - but I have to say that those morons who wrote that piece may have set back their own cause badly. Because of that ad, the cons can point to it instead of actually debating the issues, and it also disgusted many moderate Americans on the fence, giving liberals a black eye. I am proud to be liberal, but as an Army vet it pisses me off to see a good general (one of the few we have, most are political hacks in uniform) get insulted. A good ad criticising the general could have worked, had it remained respectful. Instead they had to result to 4th grade playground name calling. Moveon morons.

I'm a Democrat and I'm questioning how Moveon can express so much power in our party and they only represent a small potion of who we are.
Their are 3.2 million MoveOn.org members and 72 million registered democrats. How does this organization spread so much fear in our party. Is it time to take an organizations like this out of the political process so that our Democratic party can focus on the issues that affect our party?

Well the best part is that they took the time to vote to condemn the ad.
Awesome, Way to Go America.
I wonder when the next Fred Phelps protest of the funeral of a fallen solider is going to be? I am sure that some people are ok with that.

Moveon = Swiftboat
There's no difference. Both are attack groups. Neither are who they appear. We know who the money behind these groups are, and they're not what they claim. They just further divide Americans. And, when the name stopps working, they'll just change their name to some Bs like, Americans for Freedom... ambiguous way to bribe our candidates and keep people hurt by today's economic policies against each other.

I'm sick and tired of ANY posturing politician over this. It's a disgusting waste of taxpayer money for the purposes of shoring up a shameful "war" effort in Iraq.
MoveOn? Enough! Let's move on!

It is also funny how Democrats are against the ad too. In a 70-25 vote in the Senate they ad was condemned. And last time I checked there weren't 70 republicans in the Senate, so some Democrats must have voted to condemn it also.

The Republicans can not stand it that there is a organization (God, knows the Democrats aren't doing a damn thing) that is challenging everything Bush has brought onto this Country.
