No, let’s NOT “move on”

I did a special column for the NYPost today on MoveOn.org, the Democrat Party, their in-kind contributors at the NYTimes, and their thug allies who’ll be hitting the streets in DC this weekend. Here’s the conclusion:
Like Siamese twins, MoveOn and the Democratic Party are conjoined political entities fused at the heart and hip. There will be no repudiation. A house organ can’t reject itself.
Sen. John Cornyn (R-Texas) offered an amendment on the Senate floor to express the Sense of the Senate that Gen. David Petraeus, the commanding general, Multi-National Forces-Iraq, “deserves the full support of the Senate and strongly condemns the personal attacks on the honor and integrity of Gen. Petraeus and all the members of the United States Armed Forces.” House Minority Leader John A. Boehner (R-Ohio) sponsored a similar measure. Naturally, Democratic congressional leaders and the party’s presidential candidates won’t allow the measures to come up for a vote.
Instead, just as anti-war zealots have plotted, the Dems are taking the “high road” in accusing Petraeus of “cherry-picking statistics or selectively massaging information” (the words are Florida Rep. Robert Wexler’s), while the Soros-funded henchmen drag the general’s name through the mud. Meanwhile, their socialist allies led by ANSWER are preparing to take over Washington beginning on Saturday.
The anti-war crew will hold a “die-in” besmirching the troops who believed in the mission in Iraq and gave their lives; they’re planning to shut down military recruiting stations in the nation’s capital, and they’ll continue with other attempts to portray our leaders in uniform as book-cookers and liars.
It is our job to hold these political thugs, their Democrat allies, and their journalistic partners accountable. Let’s not forgive and forget. Hound the Democrat presidential candidates out of their silence. Hound the Times for its advertising bargains to anti-war bullies. And hound the Soros-funded goons body for body, march for march, call for call, letter for letter.
Yes, there’s a war going on. No, let’s not “move on.”
Tom Blumer notes that NYTimes shares continue to plunge.
The Prowler looks at the Times’ history with advocacy ads.
And Jim Hansen at Blackfive is walking the talk by filing an FEC complaint about the Times’ military-bashing discount rate for MoveOn.org.
Move on? Hell, no.

Oh, yeah, in honor of today’s headline, here is something terribly appropriate from The Man himself:
“Why aren’t the GOP members screaming non-stop bloody murder until the DIMS resolve that APPROPRIATELY before being allowed to continue with ANY other business? In reverse positions, DIM CONGRESSMEN would be standing WITH THEIR BACKS to the GOP Congressmen during all sessions, UNTIL SOMETHING IS RESOLVED!
The GOP doesn’t want my vote – they want to APPEASE MoveOn.Org and Code Pink.
Our soldiers (See…Rye Mcneil (27)…Tankdog sealkiller currently on second deployment, and Michael Mcneil(24) engineer, seeker of Iranian IEDs and awaiting second tour) aren’t dying for this garbage, they are fighting and dying for our Freedom and Liberty – NOT for murder, not for thievery, not for SLANDER, not for TREASON, NOT FOR OLIGARCHY!
While the GOP are sucking up to the DIMS for THEIR approval, I’m going to be looking for candidates with the cahones to make the men who died at the ALAMO proud of them.”
Indeed…but alas the, head in the sand, unbending, self important,true to form, sheeple(lol), we do nothing wrong and everything..(aj,peep,bear…in SF no less(lol)and soapthe “good christian”…. “right”…lol
“What it takes to make Americans, with a sense of what it takes to preserve America, angry enough to do what is legitimate about setting things to right… who knows what THAT will take!”
Wow…again indeed. No reply from the sheeple, someone accused so… (you know who you are) here I see…whats new?
“All that is needed for evil to prevail is for good men to do nothing.
The good guys are busy in the “hot tub”.
Fahget about it!”
I am in love…lol…
Don’t stay in too long boys…come out come out wherever you are.
All praise aside, Ombre Rose has it exactly right. Yhe Right fiddles while we all burn.
Michelle, care to join the conversation once in a while?…any conversation?
What’s up pup? Looking for something in particular? Or just messing on the carpet?
Liberals always lose when their message gets out to America thus I support Michelle’s message of not moving on.
The NY Times closed below 20 bucks a share. This cannot bode well for the democrat party yet the republicans could still lose the upcomming elections. If they do we all will share in the blame.
And who are your sources lgm? And let’s just state how incredibly ironic it is that anyone – ANYONE – in Moveon.org would have any actual idea about whether the surge was working or wwouldn’t serve, don’t know anyone who serves, certainly have no family that would or has ever served – my point being you and “your kind” lgm have no clue whatsoever is working or not working. Your people would do anything possible to avoid doing anything constructive for this country much less serve if you were called to protect it. Look at George Soros, the man you defend: he’s a criminal. And God only knows how we let him or Arianna Huffington become citizens of our great nation. Which leads me to logically believe Patraeus over Soros, (and changed my mind over immigration to where I want it to be much tougher to become a citizen here.) You choose to believe Soros. I think that says everything about where you stand and what your agenda is..
Yet another rant, Do you even know what the GOP is? get a life. and leave me out of it.
DartBag-
Am i supposed to account to you because of your pinpricking associations made with Rose’s rhetorical question?
What do you do each day beside wear a shabby Dennis Miller outfit? Halloween is a good month and a half away.
You invoked Savage’s name the other day? He’d kick your pathetic hind end up one side the block and down the other for pointing a finger at people who you’ve decided you are superior to because you “blog vigorously.”
Savage described you on his show recently- as one of those guys who labors over “letters to the editor” while failing to do something real in their lives such as earn a living or create something of value.
No one responds to your childish pokes because you are boorish, tiresome, and pointless.
How many supply chains are you managing today to keep food, water, fuel, and firepower moving in the right direction to the right side of this conflict?
How many men are under your supervision?
How many tours of duty have you served?
How many military funerals have you served at in the past 42 years?
How many businesses have you built to create jobs for men and women who want to support their families?
How many men and women have you sponsored up and out of the hole that is alcoholism and addiction?
So, DartBag- how many more embarassing questions shall I ask you before you answer them with some specificity?
You mistake your own insolence for some kind of precoscious fantasy.
People like ajmontana really do not know what they are talking about and make no effort to find out, they would rather deal in ignorance.
In my call to the NY Times in requesting the advocacy remnant rate it was made clear, I spent less then 15 minutes finding out the information. Do you think if you spend $65,000 you do not know when they will run the ad?, you will just wake up and look in the paper? Of course if does not work like that, they will tell you at least the day before, this is clearly what happened. They told MoveOn and they issued a press release.
Still waiting for the retration from Michelle Malkin about her false assertions. I would suggest she do some basic journalism and actually call someone. In the future if she does not retract she has zero moral authority to criticize someone in the same situation.
It is also interesting to wonder how people who donated to Rudy feel about their money going to the NY Times? They are underwriting the NY Times journalism after all.
LOL, I think you have the two of us mixed up. Don’t hold you’re breath waiting for a retraction were right deal with it.
When people have no rationale for their own existence, and nothing positive to offer society, it is no wonder they offer blind hatred. Asking Moveon.org to develop humanity is liking asking klansmen to sing we shall overcome. It is asking too much.
http://blacktygrrrr.wordpress.com/2007/07/20/moveonorg-needs-to-just-move-on/
I do not care if they move on. I just want them to go away. It is amazing that some of them claim to love the environment, given how toxic their rhetoric is for any normal breathing living individual.
Respectfully,
eric
OK, ajmontana you do not understand, I must confess I am not really surprised.
If Michelle Malkin prints something that is demonstrably incorrect and it is shown that it merits a retraction, anything less is doing exactly what she calls other journalists for task.
It may be late for a reply but here it is anyway.
Soap the “good Christian” was up at 3:00am to take a missionary to the Orlando airport. Then, he went to work for nine hours. After that, he fixed his daughters car. By 10:00pm, I was asleep – drained from a long day. Now, none of that may qualify as good in your book but, I do not consider what a raving lunatic cares about what I do anyhow.
If you must know, there is no good in me anyhow except that I live for CHRIST and it is HIM in me that makes me barely a person.
As for the rest of my life – if it concerns you – click on my name for my web site and see what my wife and I are doing for the least of the least of the people on earth. She is in Haiti living without her husband for 15 months now sacrificing for a just cause. You, as far as I can tell, run a hateful blog.
Sheeple? That is the best compliment you could have ever imagined to give me because the good Sheppard knows HIS Sheep. There are sheep and goats and the goats will be cast out and have no place in the Kingdom.
Sir, you harm me not.
If you like, I can explain what it is to be good?
I understand perfectly, it is you who are mis-lead. Have a nice day. end.
Ajmontana, I know there were some long words so it is not at all surprising someone such as yourself would struggle. Don’t worry about it, it is unlikely that it will get easier for you.
#46 Perseus:
The “standby rate” was a crock. It was run Monday, the day of Petraeus’s testimony.
If you believe that’s just a coincidence, I have a bridge in Brooklyn to sell ya.
There was nothing “standby” about the running of that ad. The Times gave Moveon a break in the ad price – a break they would never give a conservative group. They were shamed in giving Rudy the same rate – especialy now that the American Conservative Union filed a complaint aganst them and Moveon with the FEC.
Bob Beckel, lawyer and Democratic strategist said on Fox news that the ACU has a good case against Moveon and the NYT in their complaint before the FEC. Unless you think Beckel is shilling for the GOP, maybe you better revise your opinion about who should be issuing retratctions; you or Malkin.
Malkin doesn’t have to correct anything. Moveon got a special rate for an ad carefully timed and targeted to impact the testimony of Petraeus. And the NY Times was complicit by running the ad not in any kind of “standby” mode but exactly when Moveon wanted it run.
Rick,
This guys a waste of air.
“You invoked Savage’s name the other day? He’d kick your pathetic hind end up one side the block and down the other for pointing a finger at people who you’ve decided you are superior to because you “blog vigorously.”
Savage “the far right loon” as Bill O calls him, is a bigoted moron who would burn down this blog and you with it. But I must say I am not surprised at you being a regular listener of his. I have read your diatribes with amusement just as I read Kos with amusement. You and yours here are the far right comparison to the far left Bill O has pointed to. Your smug “spin” gets you points with idiots but not with me. I will answer any reasonable question posed and debate the issue, I will continue to DEMAND more from thiose with the pulpit to make change and I will continue to point out frauds like yourself who know hide behind paragraphs of nonsense that have no bearing on the argument posed.
You said the debate was irrelevent yet here you are daily, You say you don’t understand a simple question, what is at stake for you, and then have the audasity to say I am the adolescent. You run from real debate because to actually stick with the forum and answer the question makes you look like the ass you so obviously are….spin . spin, Spin is all you do and yes you do it like a good Kossak would.
But alas I am a patient man so I will try again…..do you think
that five years of Kerry, Kennedy, Gore, Durbin, Reid and Feingold, and five years of the Times and their 70+ Abu Gharab stories, and torture rhetoric, added to five years of European weenies, UN idiots, and Hollyweird blowhards and combined with the five years of inquiries, suppositions, testamonies, and investigations into the Bush administration played little to no role in the recruitment of steady supply jihadists to kill in Iraq?
A simple …YES or NO will suffice.
You can’t answer can you?
Rick, the question is could another advocacy group get the same rate and the answer is clearly yes as there are more than half a dozen examples prior to this including some that could be considered at least somewhat right wing. I have to be honest and say that almost anyone who appears on Faux News does not have a lot of credibility.
Ajmontana, does your mommy know you are playing on the internet?. Your comments are making less and less sense, maybe the Disney site is more your speed.
I blush
