Great rant!! Quoting you direct elsewhere into red state and necked turf just to crap it down their throats!!

Uh, hope you don’t mind this ‘abuse’ of yer penmanship . . ;-)

Oh, great. A little advance warning next time, so I can hire Blackwater.

If ever there was a post to Spotlight, this is it.

egregious~ I thank you for providing the link to spotlight. I have never done this before, but this post was brilliant in its clarity and scope. It deserved to be spotlighted and so I did.

I’d never even heard of Spotlight but I did it too, and everyone should!

My favorite moment yesterday came when Sen. Gordon Smith, a member of the “good Slytherin” moderate Republican faction, claimed that he’d been alllll set to vote for the Webb amendment getting us out of Iraq, but then that darned MoveOn ad appeared and he decided he just had to back General BetrayUs!

Please clarify. I spoke with Smith’s office and they claim he supported the Webb amendment. I was all set the hammer him but now I am not sure of what’s what with respect to Smith, my senator (in position only!)

Thanks for doing the heavy lifting. I just copied it and sent to my favorite Republican- talking-points enabler, Ken Salazar (along with thanks for his positive votes for habeas and Webb).

BTW, it’s never too late to send money to MoveOn. The money is the message.

Great post, Scarecrow. I know I gave $100 to Moveon yesterday. I notice several posts above commenting on how easily the Right Wing strategists have used the ad to divide us progressives from “our” elected representatives in the Senate, and I agree that’s a problem. But the GOP poisonous message people are always going to find something–you can’t stop speaking the truth because of their ability to get stupid or uninformed people to believe lies. Our job now is to keep trying to educate our Democratic senators on how the GOP plays the game and why the Dems keep losing. And Moveon needs to keep speaking the truth. Show the spineless ones what happens when you don’t back down.

Hi Scarecrow, this is completely EPU, but was hoping someone would write up the laundry list of atrocities against truth and publish it. I hope MoveOn takes this opportunity to take out another ad with a list such as yours posted above.

thanks!
