MoveOn's blunders
Over a week ago, I told you about the MoveOn smear commercial designed to rub salt in the wounds of military families. It appears that there were a few details my old eyes missed. Opinion Journal was the first to hear about the fact that the "troops" in the ad weren't even American!
It gets even worse for the filthy liars at MoveOn. GOP and the City and GOP and College discovered that MoveOn knew that the troops weren't American and tried to cover it up using photoshop!
For those of you veterans (I'm one too, ya know) who may have thought the Ted Rall flap was about just one deranged moonbat (or an isolated event), think again:
Oh - someone just suggested to me that MoveOn will pass the blame to whatever firm made the ad for them. Doesn't matter. MoveOn approved it. MoveOn paid for it. MoveOn put it on the air. MoveOn owns whatever mess they made. They would expect nothing less from the conservatives.
This isn't about patriotism, although these cretins have none. This isn't about the hole in the collective left where their hearts should be.
The military represents something they can't comprehend. This breeds fear. Fear breeds hate.
The left hates you.
Update (5:20 PM EST): MoveOn has pulled the ad from its website.
Update 2 (5:22 PM EST): The ad is still there, but the photoshopped still picture on the right side of the page is removed. And the link from the main page is gone too has been moved. Sorry for the mixup.
Update 3 (02 Dec 05 9:00 AM EST): Immediately after posting update 2, I emailed Randy Hall at CNS News, and I'm sure lots of others did as well. Her update to the story is here.

that the MoveOn ad depicting British troops and passing them off as American is still on their website. Had any of you still harbored even the smallest belief that MoveOn's membership really cared about our American troops, the fact that... Read More
