How does everyone feel about the anti-war organization Moveon.org full page ad controversy? Whether you are a Republican or a Democrat or whether you would like to see our troops come home tomorrow or in a decade--you've got to admit, it's not cool to bash a prestigious (and respected) US General like that! Just think what positive impact the HUGE dollars that paid for that ad would have if used perhaps, on a charity!! Instead, we are left with yet another initiation of controversy.... just what our nation needs-- more division!
Check out the enclosed links for more info on the ad and see what some presidential hopefuls are saying about it...

Just what the Republican party needs, I think. A chance to reclaim some ground by sacrificing so-called radical liberal views and making anti-war sentiment seem crazy and disrespectful.
Placing an ad is a perfect right and essentially much of the purpose of move-on.org.
As Thomas Jefferson said, "dissent is the highest form of patriotism." They care about the country's well-being. Plain and simple.
Dissent may be the highest form of patriotism (very well-said) but that doesn't justify a hateful, unpatriotic ad calling into question a general who has dedicated his life to the entire country, Democrats & Republicans. It looks to me like Moveon.org was less concerned with the country's well being and more concerned with the fact that they didn't hear what they wanted to hear..
