Senate Condemns MoveOn Ad -- Group Hits Back
By E&P Staff
Published: September 20, 2007 3:20 PM ET
NEW YORK After the U.S. Senate today easily passed a resolution, with 72
votes, condemning actions by MoveOn.org after its recent "General Betrayus"
full-page ad in The New York Times, the activist group has hit back.
In an email to members this afternoon, group leaders declared, "Every day,
our brave men and women are dying in a bloody civil war this Senate has done
nothing to stop. Yesterday, they couldn't even pass a bill to give soldiers
adequate leave with their families before redeploying. But they're spending
time cracking down on a newspaper ad?
"So, we're making clear where America stands. We're releasing a statement
from MoveOn members-and anyone else who feels the same way-saying, 'We will
not be quiet, will fight back. We will keep speaking out until Congress
forces an exit plan for this awful war.'" It asked members to follow a link
to endorse it.
MoveOn charges that the blowback on the ad is "part of a larger campaign by
Fox, the right-wing echo chamber...And it has one purpose: to intimidate all
of us. To send a message that anyone who speaks unpleasant truths about this
war will pay. To make everyone-especially politicians-think twice before
they accuse the administration of lying."
It adds that the resolution, which was backed by many Democrats (but not
Sen. Hillary Clinton, with Sen. Barack Obama not voting) "absurdly" claims
that MoveOn impugns the honor and integrity of all the members of the United
States Armed Force "despite the fact that MoveOn includes hundreds of
thousands of veterans and military family members, who've led our campaign
to bring our troops home."
President Bush also condemned the group and the ad in a press conference
today.

When Petraeus was in front of the Committee last week, every Republican
on it made a big point of waving the ad at the camera. I was so angry
that I gave money to MoveOn.org the same day. After this, I'm thinking
of doing it again.
