Via the New York Times, the group Freedom’s Watch, which was “formed this summer by several wealthy conservatives who back President Bush’s strategy in Iraq,” is running this loathsome ad in Washington attacking MoveOn.org:
Here’s the transcript — note the suggestions that MoveOn.org wants America to lose in Iraq:
MoveOn.org is losing their battle because America and the forces of freedom are winning theirs. More and more Democratic and Republican members agree — the surge in Iraq is working. To most Americans that’s good news, but not to MoveOn.org. Shamefully, now they’re attacking a Democratic congressman for honestly stating the progress he sees. Call your congressmen and senators — tell them victory is America’s only choice.
Sadly, this is just the latest in a long series of attacks on dissent since 9/11.
