MoveOn.org Calls General Patraeus a Traitor
...as General David Petraeus provides his Iraq assessment to Congress--the antiwar group MoveOn.org is running a full-page advertisement in the New York Times under the headline: "General Petraeus or General Betray us? Cooking the books for the White House."
Let's be clear: MoveOn.org is suggesting that General Petraeus has 'betrayed' his country. This is disgusting. To attack as a traitor an American general commanding forces in war because his 'on the ground' experience does not align with MoveOn.org's political objectives is utterly shameful. It shows contempt for America's military leadership, as well as for the troops who have confidence in him, as our fellow soldiers in Iraq certainly do.
General Petraeus has served this country for over 35 years with honor, distinction, and integrity. And this is not just about General Petraeus. After all, if General Petraeus is "cooking the books," then the entire military chain of command in Baghdad, and all the staff, military and civilian, who have been working with General Petraeus are complicit, since Petraeus did not write his report in isolation. They are all, apparently, 'betray[ing] us.'
MoveOn.org has been working closely with the Democratic congressional leadership --as an article in today's Sunday New York Times Magazine makes clear. And consider this comment by a Democratic senator from Friday's Politico: "'No one wants to call [Petraeus] a liar on national TV,' noted one Democratic senator, who spoke on the condition on anonymity. 'The expectation is that the outside groups will do this for us.'

Notice: Hillary Clinton and Barak Obama have not denounced Moveon.org. Why? Because they are in this gang's pocket, they need their money. Clinton and Obama have been bought and sold by these vile creatures.
These people have no shame. No shame at all.

Seraphic Secret is private property, that's right, it's an extension of our home, and as such, Karen and I have instituted two Seraphic Rules and we ask commentors to act respectfully.
1. No profanity.2. No Israel bashing. We debate, we discuss, we are respectful. You know what Israel bashing is. The world is full of it. Seraphic Secret is one of the few places in the world that will not tolerate this form of anti-Semitism. That's it. Break either of these rules and you will be banned.
You have no idea how upset and embarrassed and furious and frustrated I am that HRC represents my state as a US Senator. I swear, if she showed up at my house during a blizzard I would not let her in.
No one at MoveOn.org is fit to shine General Petraeus' shoes.

Dr. Carol:
You want embarrassed, how about this: Charles Schumer is an alumnus of Yeshiva Flatbush Elementary School, the same grade school Karen and I attended.
MoveON.org could not care less that if we pulled out of Iraq, full scale slaughter would ensure, as it did in Vietnam. Iran would invade to fulfill the Shia revolution. In short, MoveOn.org are, like almost all so-called peace groups, enablers of genocide.

An absolute travesty!

Earlier this summer Markos Zuniga (Daily Kos) bragged at the podium at the "Kossacks" convention that leftwing bloggers and activists were "cleaning out" the Democratic Party, Joe Lieberman being the first to go.

How very Stalinist of the Daily Kos komrades.

Well, they should know a thing or two about what a traitor is.

"Because half a dozen grasshoppers under a fern make the field ring with their importunate chink, whilst thousands of great cattle... chew the cud and are silent, pray do not imagine that those who make the noise are the only inhabitants of the field; that, of course, they are many in number; or that, after all, they are other than the little, shriveled, meagre, hopping, though loud and troublesome insects of the hour."

How dare you call them traitors. Don't you know that they are more evolved patriots?

"Americans love a winner and will not tolerate a loser. Americans play to win all the time. I wouldn’t give a hoot in hell for a man who lost and laughed. That’s why Americans have never lost and will never lose a war. Because the very thought of losing is hateful to Americans."

With all due respect to Burke (and he is due a lot), the insects, unwittingly aided by honorable, talentless generals, helped us to our first loss, and the slaughter of millions of innocents, just over 30 years ago.
Thank G-d that folks are not staying silent this time, and the top general is a gifted warrior. We might just win this one, and keep our civilization for another generation!

MAJ Hilts,
You are right that these insects should not be underestimated, they should be squashed.
Gen'l Petraeus deserves the support of the American people and sane citizens must speak out against the insanity of the left.
I am most grateful for your service to our country!

XP: Thanks--my service has been and remains truly a pleasure. Glad the alternate media is helping to make it a mutual effort for the first time since WWII!

Sorry, my bad. Excuse me for not getting an education from our public school system.

bottom line, anything staunchly left or right is shameful. yourself included. i don't agree with moveon's ad, nor do i assimilate with their values. but petraeus is a disaster, if not a traitor, and at this point, all radically left or right activists are using hyperbole to deliver their message.
as you are in this article.
