Unfortunately, sue them for what? Fred is right on to make a call for the rat party to repudiate Moveon because that puts the focus on the rats as a party and not on Moveon whom they can say does not represent them (a bald faced lie). I think Fred took the right approach. Their ad is protected speech and since the general is by his position a public figure it won’t be libel. I would be looking for a direct pipe of money to the rats that goes directly to Soros by way of Moveon and attempt to use that against them too.

About time someone in the GOP had the gonads and the spine to get in the gutter and fight the Liberal scum using their own tactics back on them. We need Patton and Reagan today more than ever!

Moveon.org got it right.

.my letter to the NYT...

“General Petraeus or General Betray us?” was the clarion call from Moveon.org in Monday’s New York Times.

They had a right to be nervous, after all, they were clearly expecting the worst, why else would they spend over a hundred thousand dollars to try and intimidate a man they didn’t know and had never met?

On the face of it, their expectations of betrayal were well founded. Why, only a few months prior, General Petraeus had hurriedly taken the reigns from Peter Pace and was faced with an enormous task of making “the Surge” effective in Iraq.

How could they have anticipated such a stunning accomplishment?

After all, when you are mired in doom, gloom, and defeatism, how do you even imagine such success?

Moveon.org had fully anticipated a military catastrophe in Iraq, laying the groundwork for politically driven retreat and Viet Nam style abandonment that could be laid at the feet of the President, thus ensuring a Democrat victory in 2008.

So imagine their horror when General Petraeus, a soldier with impeccable credentials, and unassailable integrity, directed our armed forces to a spectacular success.

Quel Demarge!

What we clearly now have on our hands is a victory, albeit a stepping stone along the way, that those who love America can, and should, rightfully celebrate but is certainly a betrayal for Moveon.org....

Hear! Hear! Yes, Thompson is the man. One of my pet peeves about Bush is that he never did this.

Noting that honesty is part of the qualification for any military officer (note the Honor Code at West Point), maybe General Petraeus has a case for a libel suit.

Too bad it’s not 1807 instead of 2007. Back then, an aggrieved gentleman could invite his detractors for pistols for two and breakfast for one. Of course, I doubt that anyone at MoveOn.org would take a gentleman on even with Super Soakers.

MoveOn.org is an anti-Semitic and anti-Catholic hate organization

MoveOn.org blew it big time with the Petraeus ad. Anyone with sense can envision a cage full of screeching monkeys throwing garbage (polite term), or dirty-faced snot-nosed punks making up a juvenile schoolyard name for a man whose boots they are not fit to lick. In any event, now is the time to remind the world of how MoveOn.org welcomed anti-Semitic and anti-Catholic hate speech, and 9/11 conspiracy theories, at its disgraced Action Forum

OFFICIAL MoveOn.org derogatory photomanipulation of Pope Benedict. We must make sure that Catholics, especially in Democratic Northeast Pennsylvania and New York, see this.

Excerpts from MoveOn.org's disgraced Action Forum

(Votes are the number of MoveOn people who voted agreement with the comment in question) THIS IS JUST A SMALL SAMPLING OF THE HUNDRED OR MORE I HAVE ON FILE. All of this was posted at MoveOn's Action Forum with the full knowledge and approval of its moderators, who exercised editorial control in its favor.

"Removing all Israeli obsessed Jews from congress would stop a lot of killing." 12 of 14 voted to AGREE with this

" Not to get nasty but jews have a long history of subverting governments for their own enrichment and glory to the detriment of whole societies." 13 of 16 voted to AGREE with this

"Another neo-con appeared today on C-Span to defend Bush and his spying program! I am Jewish and proud of it (despite everything) but I am sick of seeing those neo-cons posing as average joes on national television to defend Bush and his lies. Since they don't have the decency or honesty to identify themselves by saying: "But you know, I am a Zionist and may be biased" and since most Americans can't tell the difference and don't have the courage to ask, maybe they should be forced to wear an Israeli flag on the lapel of their jackets. Isn't it time to tell the American people the truth, i.e. that Jews control all the media." 8 of 8 AGREE that the Jews control all the media

"Thanks Harry, for telling it like it is. Rice and Powell ARE "house slaves"." 12 of 15 voted to AGREE with this

"But until the priests are hounded down and arrested like the baby rapers they are, the neverending cycle will continue. You want to throw a monkey wrench in both political parties? Call for the arrest and immediate incarceration of the Catholic Pedophiles of America." 8 out of 9 voted to AGREE with this.

While thats all well and good, I’m still very disappointed Thompson suggests bin Laden is entitled to ‘due process’.
