Bush: MoveOn.org ad on Petraeus 'disgusting'

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- A MoveOn.org political advertisement that criticized the top U.S. commander in Iraq was "disgusting," President Bush said Thursday, accusing Democrats of being afraid to criticize the anti-war group.

Bush told reporters at a White House news conference that MoveOn.org's ad in The New York Times about Gen. David Petraeus was a "sorry deal." The September 10 full-page ad was titled "General Petraeus or General Betray Us?"

"I felt like the ad was an attack, not only on Gen. Petraeus, but on the U.S. military," Bush said. "And I was disappointed that not more leaders in the Democratic Party spoke out strongly against that kind of ad."

Bush said that "most Democrats are afraid of irritating a left-wing group like MoveOn.org" and they "are more afraid of irritating them than they are of irritating the United States military."

Well George, right wing cheerleader Rush Limbaugh just attacked the military. He has branded the troops you're sending to fight your war in Iraq "phony soldiers." Will you speak out strongly against him, call him "disgusting" and a "sorry deal"?


Edited to add link and clarify.

5. Thanks! I like this guy Jon Soltz, can we nominate him for president?

Then we could get out of Iraq before 1212 or 1213, or later. Hillary and Barack say it will be necessary to stay that long. What a load of bull!

I wish Kerry would run ads asking "How can you ask a man to be the last man to die for a failed war?"

Then he could run again and win again, unless it's stolen again. I'd even vote for him again if he promised to stop the war. I'm still ticked that he conceded so early but he's better than Hillary.


Soltz rocks:

"As Media Matters reported today, Rush Limbaugh, on his show said that those troops who come home and want to get America out of the middle of the religious civil war in Iraq are "phony soldiers." I'd love for you, Rush, to have me on your show and tell that to me to my face."

"First, in what universe is a guy who never served even close to being qualified to judge those who have worn the uniform? Rush Limbaugh has never worn a uniform in his life -- not even one at Mickey D's -- and somehow he's got the moral standing to pass judgment on the men and women who risked their lives for this nation, and his right to blather smears on the airwaves?"

Great stuff!

9. Yeah. And Hitler should have condemned Julius Streicher.
Fat chance of either of those things happening.

11.  I wish some brave reporter would ask him (or a WH talking head) about
Limpdick's comment.

When will Congress be passing their condemnation of Pigboy?

13. Money
Limbaugh has a large loyal following, that the advertisers want to get at. As long as his numbers look good, he has a job. That simple.

14. Where are Reid and Pelosi on this?
The GOP got their Move On resolution through even though they were a minority. Where's the Democrats condemnation of Limbaugh resolution?

17. Right Wingers Marginalize Limbaugh When He's Attacked
"He's just an entertainer"

But they know he lies them to more votes than any other man on the planet.

20. Yes!!1 WE need to demand of all wingnuts that they disavow all such extremists
like LIMBOsevic, HANNITY, O'LOOFAH, INGRAHAM, COULTERgeist, MALKIN, the Minutemen, the Swiftbots, and all the rest.

The same way they demand of Dem politicians to disavow Michael MOORE, MoveOn, and Whoopi GOLDBERG.

Bush must say to the people and television cameras how "disgusting" this attack was.

He wouldn't just abandon them to the backstabbers, would he?
