House Condemns MoveOn.org Attack

The House on Wednesday overwhelmingly voted to condemn the liberal advocacy group MoveOn.org for a recent advertisement attacking the top U.S. general in Iraq.

By a 341-79 vote, the House passed a resolution praising the patriotism Gen. David Petraeus, the commander of U.S. forces in Iraq, and condemning a MoveOn.org ad that referred to Petraeus as "General Betray Us."

The resolution was attached to a stopgap measure funding Cabinet budgets until mid-November


Wisconsin Rep. David Obey, a veteran Democrat, recounted how he left the Republican Party during the era of Sen. Joseph McCarthy, R-Wis., and said that lawmakers have an obligation to criticize their allies as well as their enemies when they go too far.


I am going to donate a little more to Move On. I believe our party does not value its anti-war base at all.

They are apparently also going to let a dangerous FISA bill slip through instead of fixing the mess.

To those who don't want us to criticize, what are we supposed to do?
