Brandon Friedman of Votevets.org praises Moveon ad: " I’d rather see Dems overstep their bounds"
Hello.
I recommend this great diary in the Dailykos about a Veteran who wishes Democrats were like Moveon.org.

"But you know what? I’d rather see my allies cross a line being too aggressive rather than never crossing a line because they’re too passive. Or too afraid. I’d rather see Democrats overstep their bounds in going at the throats of the people who brought us this war in the first place. It means they’re angry. It means they care."

1. You omitted the beginning where he says he wished they had not done it!

So, how do I feel about the MoveOn.org ad that accuses Petraeus of betraying us? Well, it’s pretty over the top. It’s certainly not what I would have said. In fact, I wish they hadn’t done it.

First line of the response:

Well, it’s pretty over the top. It’s certainly not what I would have said. In fact, I wish they hadn’t done it.


Ah, just like the RW distorting people's position. You have the nerve to question Petraeus' character? Hipocrisy comes to mind.

3. We already had a diary focusing on the "over the top" part.

Balance is a bitch. Isn't it, Mr. cherrypicker.
