ONE MORE TIME

I guess I glossed over the actual 'offense' of the MoveOn ad "Petraeus Betray Us".

Bushie said it is disgusting.

70 something senators with nothing else to do condemned it.

A guy was thrown out of a hall for asking too many questions of John Kerry; then tased.

Hillary now screens her crowds and excludes people with the wrong signs or tee shirts. Just like the GOoPers.

Get the drift?

There is a gradual damping down of speech.

Offensive or otherwise.

Not good.

A symptom of 8 years under the Cheney/Rove administration.

Disgusting?

I will show you disgusting.

Just look at the war stats.

About ads? What about the Swiftboating, now a generic term for over the top oppo ads.

But I don't want to play that game.

Look.

You and I might disagree about the taste and utility of certain ads. But that doesn't shut them down.

Do I think that Petraeus betrayed us?

Well, in a sense.

Like Powell before him he has allowed himself to be the stalking horse of the bushies. A sock puppet.

I think that he is career hungry and it is said that he wants to run for higher office someday.

I can smell that in his whole demeanor.

The actual war is a game to these people. Deadly as can be but a game.

So keep on moving MoveOn.

Until the Democrats get more of a spine you are the only truth to power (I hate that phrase but it fits) outfit going.
