MoveOn.org pulls Petraeus bash ad from web site

Dan has the scoop on this. The bottom line here is when John F'ing Kerry says you've gone too far, you done gone too far Hoss. I checked the link Dan had and its deader than chairman Mao.

I seriously hope the MoveOn crowd remains tone deaf enough to continue this line of attack. It will be entertaining to see the dem candidates distancing themselves from MoveOn.org.

Update: the ad continues to be available via other avenues at the MoveOn web site.

MoveOn really screwed the pooch with this one though. Some of their bashing goes back prior to Petraeus' confirmation as commander -- which means senate democrats were aware of that before the confirmation vote. So in effect, MoveOn is bashing senate democrats "judgment" at the same time they bash Petraeus.

Kerry getting prickly is interesting too since he didn't actually vote to confirm Petraeus -- he was a no-show on that vote. It would have been easy for him to say "I didn't vote for the man" and have it be the truth. Then again, JK is one of the biggest no-show senators we got.
