I just have to wonder if there's anyone who understands the meaning of the word "or". As used in Move-On's ad, which asked: General Petraeus OR General Betrayus. That's a choice!!! That is not calling the General names or putting him down in any way, shape or form, and it's damned ignorant to think otherwise.
Here came the General to the Congress, and on behalf of the people of this nation, Congress wanted to know the truth about how the occupation of Iraq was coming.
The General had a choice...to tell the unvarnished truth or to tell the Bush admin "truth". The General chose to tell the Bush "truth" and thus, chose to betray us.
Very simple. Should have learned about the meaning of "OR" in grade school...as in, "would you like ice cream OR whipped cream on your pie?" Even journalists should have learned this. Republicans and Democrats should have learned this.
But no. Hell no. Controversy sells. Therefore everyone chose to ignore the meaning of OR. Not only ignorant, but downright mean. Stupid. Therefore Move-On could safely be attacked because if the pundits and Congress could just spin that ad into an attack on a military officer...well hell...that's not supporting the troops, is it?
Low class and cheap.
Wrap...

Not only low class and cheap, but Moveon's ad was small potatoes compared to the crap the Repubs have pulled over the years.
Anybody remember Willie Horton?
The Swiftboaters?
The attempts to crucify Ann Richards?
And let's not forget almost 8 years of nonstop lies.
