Almost the entire mainstream media is attacking MoveOn.org for their criticism of Gen. David Petraeus. Apparently the unofficial Party line of the Repblican Party is to mock MoveOn and suggest that they are guilty of treason for calling President George Bush’s latest henchman “Gen. Betray Us.”
Here is one typical columnist:
The Wichita Eagle:
“Sep. 13, 2007
KATHLEEN PARKER: GOOD, BAD AND VERY UGLY
On the sixth anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks, Americans were treated to two starkly contrasting images that speak centuries of difference between the United States and its enemies.
In frame one, we see Gen. David Petraeus testifying before Congress on the status of the war in Iraq. In frame two is Osama bin Laden in a new video -- resplendent in white robes, his beard recently rinsed dark to conceal the gray -- promising that Islam will subjugate the West.
One an image of courage, integrity and honor, the other a caricature of manhood.
Then there is a third frame. It is a full-page ad in Monday's New York Times placed by MoveOn.org and attacking Petraeus' integrity: "General Petraeus or General Betray Us?" read the caption. And then, "Cooking the Books for the White House."
The fog of war, it seems, has seeped into the left wing of the blogosphere.
One may disagree with the war -- and even find informed fault with Petraeus' report -- but impugning the character of the war's commanding officer while American forces are still fighting is what's known as betrayal. “
Our right wing press hates to admit there is an American left. They have done all they can to keep leftist from expressing views on TV. Now that they can’t control what gets printed on the Internet, they are absolutely livid that these icons of American might and power can be openly criticized and exposed for what they are.
Apparently the freedom of the press does not apply to the American left, according to Parker, who wrote this piece. The rest of her column focuses on bin Laden. She is not alone. MoveOn put this segment on You Tube, where them on the Fox network uses Bill O'Reilly’s right-wing show to attack anyone who tries to let Americans see what anyone to the left has to say.
Bill O'Reilly and Dick Morris on MoveOn.org, George Soros,
They're attacking leftist for tactics the Republican Right has been using for years. They have a lot of nerve complaining that “liberals” and “far leftist” using their muscle when the right, with such powerful outlets as FOX have mislead voters for years.
