MoveOn.org Memory Holes ‘General Betray Us.’


Weasel Zippers has the details – and, more importantly, the screen shots: essentially, what happened was that MoveOn.org did a little cleanup once General Petraeus stopped being a would-be whipping boy for Senator Obama and started being President Obama’s last, best hope for not mucking up the Afghanistan war. Remember, back when George Bush was President, MoveOn attacked General Petraeus as “General Betray Us.” But now the guy they helped get elected has “rehired” George Bush’s General.

This behavior would normally cause cranial explosions in anyone with the slightest appreciation of irony: fortunately for MoveOn, they are comprised pretty exclusively of hardcore antiwar activists, which means that they are as dead to irony as they are to the sufferings of non-European-Americans during Republican Presidential administrations.

On the bright side: since they’ve repudiated their own ad, they shouldn’t mind at all revisions to it. My humble effort, after the fold.

That should tide them over until another Republican gets elected President.

Try not to interrupt their daily worship service, though. They don’t seem to like that.

How much the internet has shown me that logic, reason, and integrity are not just foreign but completely alien concepts to some people and just how many there are out there.

I would revel in schadenfreude here, but first I would have to think that moveon could feel pain for being exposed as base hypocrites and outright liars.

Two legs bad, Four legs good

or is it the other way around today? As The Old Dog I’ll go with four legs good every day. I’m consistent in my beliefs.

We are dealing with zealots and ideologues here and reality need not apply. They have no problem with, and even demand the revision of history to suit their current agenda. Pointing out their hypocrisy has absolutely no effect on them, in fact they are quite proud of it. They will lie, cheat and steal if they think it will help push their ideology on everyone. Of course we need to continue to illuminate and prove the zealots’ mangling of reality to bring it to the attention of the public, who might otherwise ignore it or just give it a pass, or even believe when it is not contradicted. But it won’t affect the zealots. Their minds are incapable of understanding anything beyond the talking points issued by whoever is their current messiah.

Just think how silly we would feel if we had gone around in 2008 chanting “deliver us McCain” (and rightfully so). But when 0bama is thrown out in 2012 they will just move.on to the next chant ordered up by their new messiah.

Change we can step in!
woof!

 
 

HYPOCRITES

teapartypatriot Thursday, June 24th at 2:16PM EST (link)

The hypocrisy of the lunatic-left has no limits.

Patreaus – George Bush’s General – was excoriated by the d-crat socialists for everything he did under Bush. Patreaus was the creator of the Iraq Surge Strategy, which “shakedown” hussein, dirty-harry reid and “B*teMe” biden mocked and denounced on the Senate floor. They called the strategy a FAILURE even before it was enacted! (This strategy was, of course, an outstanding success.) The extremist left-wing group moveon.com even ran ads denouncing Gen. BetrayUS!

But now? The hypocrites of the d-crat socialist party and their pals in the socialist media think Patreaus is a “BRILLIANT” choice! How despicably low can these lunatics get?

Then later, of course B*teMe made a

BFD about it when he announced that the 0bama regime’s surge strategy was a success!

An unintended consequence of this sorry mess is that I will forever attach “B*teMe” to Biden whenever I see or hear anything about him. Before this, I had thought he was the perfect description of a used car salesman in the 1970′s, or Herb Tarlek at WKRP (my apologies to used car and radio salesmen everywhere). All B*teMe needs is the white belt and shoes, he’s already got the hair and the language and the attitude.

Change we can step in!
woof!

Herb Tarlek @ WKRP! Good one!

Here's some real commie history, with Trotsky

renny (Diary) Friday, June 25th at 9:15AM EST (link)

In 1919, Lenin legalized prostitution, homosexuality, incest, and abortion and banned church marriage, women taking their husband’s last names in marriage, and the “hearth family.”
Nurseries and daycares were the substitutes offered for children, and the USSR did need women in the workforce, as it had lost nearly 2,000,000 men in WW I. But the depredations of the civil war between the Whites and Reds for a decade really aggravated the horrific effects of the totally “transformed” (recognize that word?) society communism had offered.
Whole villages and towns were abandoned or disappeared. By the late ’20s, the effects of family disintegration and women’s liberation produced child mobs in Mongolia and along the border with China (also depicted in the novel, Dr. Zhivago). Cannibalism was reported. Along with the enforced collectivation of farms in the Ukraine in the ’30s (starving 10s of millions), the USSR experienced serious de-population, let alone mass famine and starvation.
\In 1936, Trotsky suggested the USSR change tactics, and Stalin re-instituted prohibitions on prostitution, homosexuality, incest, and abortion and re-emphasized traditional marriage (still without churches). The state then paid couples to stay together, increased child allowances with every infant produced, and returned to the “hearth marriage” of pre-revolutionary days.
I doubt they recognized the irony either. At least, Obamanation’s changes in Afghanistan generals only involves a “few” hundred of US service people at risk one way or the other and not the extermination of maybe 100,000,000 people over 70 years, which the commies may have produced, because when the leftists really get to apply their “vision,” extermination knows no bounds.
