Well it was certainly enough to provoke croaks of outrage from the mummified remains of onetime Vietnam War protester John Kerry. I wish someone would drive a stake through this pitiful specimen of the undead so we could all be freed from his curse:
----------------------------------------- September 10, 2007 Kerry: MoveOn.org is 'over the top'
WASHINGTON (CNN) – Sen. John Kerry, D-Massachusetts, criticized MoveOn.org Monday for taking an ad out in The New York Times criticizing Gen. David Petraeus. ...
“I don’t like any kind of characterizations in our politics that call into question any active duty, distinguished general,” Kerry told CNN, adding “who I think under any circumstances serves with the best interests of our country.” ...
Kerry called the MoveOn.org ad “over the top” and specifically noted that he did not like the wording in the text. “I didn’t like the terminology,” he said. “I didn’t like it.” The ad shows a picture of Petraeus with the words “General Petraeus or General Betray us?”
