Deadbeat Democrats condemn MoveOn "BetrayUs" ad
September 24, 2004 Unknown News
On September 20, 2007, twenty-six allegedly Democratic members of the Senate voted in favor of a measure condemning MoveOn.org for pointing out -- correctly -- that General David Petraeus' report on the progress of the Iraq war was deceptive and inaccurate. Unlike most Republican media campaigns, there were no statements in the "Betray Us" ad that were factually inaccurate. It was the fact that their constituents dared to express an opinion that these Democrats arrogantly objected to.
While thinking people can (theoretically) disagree about whether Gen. Petraeus has betrayed his country, for politicians to condemn their own party's political base for speaking their minds is both anti-democratic and anti-Democratic. Here are the Democratic Senators who would really prefer that the people they "represent" would shut the hell up:
P.S. It's especially disheartening to see one of the leading "Democratic" presidential candidates, Barack Obama, refuse to vote one way or the other on this issue.
P.S.S. The day after this vote, MoveOn had the highest one-day fundraising total of any day this year. You can add your two cents (or 2500 cents) here.
