The more the Rs talk about how bad it is, the more they say the words Betray Us in conjunction with Petraeus name.
Betray Us is more familiar to peoples ears. Said often enough, we hear Petraeus' name and we associate Betray Us.
By talking about it, the media reinforces the message even when they slam Move On for placing the ad.
Go ahead, ask a friend or colleague what the first thing that pops into their head when they hear the work Petraeus is...
If "they" thought that the moveon.org ad was reprehensible, maybe they should have avoided savaging John Kerry, Max Cleland, and Jack Murtha. I personally find their reaction to being on the receiving end of the kind of crap "they" put out in the 2004 election hilarious.
Then we have - Freedom's Watch: Ari Fleischer's new Smear Site
Since the Moveon.org ad, we're hearing from Ari Fleischer again, with his robotic pro-Bush, pro-War drivel. Sadly, the "Betray Us" ad gave the Republicans exactly what they were looking for, a diversion from the facts on the ground. Strong sentiment, bad timing.
But right now Ari's got a soapbox. Like we're going to heed the words of a disgraced spokesman for a failed and incompetent president? Come on, Ari, you're a joke, pontificating against name-calling and smears?
Where were you when Rove was running around telling the world John Kerry looked "Awfully French"? What does that mean, anyway? Where were you when they swift-boated Kerry?
Ari's back, along with other Swiftboaters. Here's a guy who helped out an undercover CIA agent, then slipped out the back door, unscathed.
One thing's for certain: in fighting an enemy, you do not take directions from a leadership that's been taken hostage.
