Its the level these offside political organisations are going to to grab headlines. All sides do it, but the conservatives are throwing a wobbler on this one, for good reason, there's nothing else positive to talk about. Iraq is not going well, the dollar is not going well, the mortgage situation is not clear yet. So they now get to over react to an ad that in itself was an over reaction itself. Shock Speech and they all do it.
Haven't you seen the Ring Wing Ann Coulter cawing like a Jackyl on Fox News, spouting contempt on "The Liberals" as if there is a secret sect in American society called the Liberals and they're purpose is to bring down America. Wait till we approach Christmas and they tell us how "The Liberals" are trying to rob us of Christmas. And thats called incitement to fear and then they'll tag Liberal and democrats in the one line, in the hope it'll decide the election.

It's called Free Speech. Of course you knew that. Look, we don't always have to like what people say, but certainly they have every right to say it.
There are a whole lot of Americans who feel that Gen. Petraeus really never intended to say anything other than what he was directed to by the Administration. In fact, why did they even bother with the charade at all.
Gen. Petraeus and the US Military do not make policy. The President, the Senate and the Congress make policy and they are responsible for this tragedy in Iraq.
And all three have lined Petraeus up to take the fall. It's shameful on all parts.
Now let me ask you...when Ann Coulter refers to Democrats as traitors...do you find that offensive enough to label as hate speech??
I'm guessing that doesn't bother you.

They gave an opinon that was a little too strong. Good grief! Why is it every time someone dares disagree with the right it is hate speech? Dissent is what democracy thrives on. Apparently you don't approve of democracy because of how much you disapprove of dissent and difference of opinion. It was said they were called on it let's, pardon the pun, move on.

I wouldn't really call it hate speech, though I suppose it falls under the category of degrading an individual based on his political beliefs. I would just call it an ad hominem attack.

It's no different than what Ann Coulter and Rush Limbaugh do.
The difference is that moveon states opinions while the Swift Boaters tried to present lies as facts, which is far more dangerous.

This "hate speech" designation is neo-totalitarian liguistic claptrap. Doubleplus nongood doublespeak.
Moveon are a bunch of ignorant children acting as useful idiots for more powerful marxist financiers.
