Pro-Bush Group Airs New War Ads
By JIM KUHNHENN, Associated Press Writer

49 minutes ago

WASHINGTON - A political group supporting President Bush's Iraq war strategy with a multimillion-dollar ad campaign is airing a new TV ad denouncing a liberal group's sharp criticism of Gen. David Petraeus.

The campaign is the second rollout of ads by the group, Freedom's Watch, and capitalizes on Democratic Party unease over a newspaper ad run this week by MoveOn.org, one of the leading anti-war voices among liberal activists.

The MoveOn ad appeared Monday in The New York Times on the morning of Petraeus' first appearance before Congress to testify about conditions in Iraq. The ad accused Petraeus of "cooking the books" for the White House. "General Petraeus or General Betray Us?" it asked, playing off his name.

The ad has become a rallying point for Republicans, who have demanded that Democrats disavow it.

Some Democrats have voiced concern. On Monday, Sen. John Kerry, D-Mass., called the ad "over the top."

The Freedom's Watch ad states: "Name calling, charges of betrayal it's despicable. It's what MoveOn shamefully does _ and it's wrong. America and the forces of freedom are winning. MoveOn is losing. Call your Congressman and Senator. Tell them to condemn MoveOn."

"It's not surprising that a White House front group like Freedom's Watch would come after us," said Eli Pariser, executive director of MoveOn.org Political Action. Pariser defended the MoveOn ad, saying, "when you have the Bush administration spinning the facts about what is happening in Iraq, that's a betrayal of trust."

4. Let me get this straight
They aren't defending the invasion and occupation. They are running ads saying MoveOn is naughty for calling General AssKissing ChickenShit names?

How odd. How very odd.

6. In the local
Reich leaning rag yesterday there were statements from my state's RePuke Senator and Representatives, I promptly FAXED them, calling out their hypocrisy. Today I blasted them again to denounce Rep Boehner for his trivializing the death of our troops by referring to them as a "small price" to pay. I think we all need to keep after the RePukes every way we can think of, we need to let them know loud and clearly that we are angry and have had enough of their crap.
