Is there any reason why you can't post what your objection or position is when you start these threads?
I choose not to put my own spin on an article.

I choose not to put my own spin on an article.Then why post it? Anyone can post links to media reports.
We've already heard the pro-MoveOn side; let's read more about the story.
I'll trust readers can form their own opinions.

No opinion - just information. Suffice to say there's more to the story than what we've read here on the OM so far...

The "more to the story" is in the article.

He'll have to get back to you on that one - he's waiting for his talking points from Bill O'Reilly.

You mean the one where MoveOn is composed of a bunch of Washington elitists
and Hollywood liberals (and fails to mention that many of MoveOn's members
are Iraq war veterans)?
Oh, wait, that was Sean Hannity.

Attacking a Newspaper Ad Doesn't Save a Single Soldier
Susan Estrich
Excuse me, but what is the Democratic-lead Senate doing wasting its time, and ours, debating and voting about the wording of a newspaper ad?
Tell me, at a time when a war most people don’t support is dragging on without any meaningful action by Congress, at a time when millions of Americans don’t have health insurance-- at a time when the Republicans have successfully blocked the ability of Medicare to negotiate for lower prescription prices for seniors in order to protect the pharmaceutical companies’ "right" to profit at the expense of sick people-- tell me what failure of leadership and total gutlessness would allow the Senate to spend its time playing a stupid political game that makes every one of them look like fools?
And I’m including not just the 22 Democratic senators who joined the Republicans in voting to denounce a MoveOn.Org newspaper ad, but also my liberal friends who, fearing the wrath of the electorate, crafted an alternative which dug out of the grave the old Swift Boat attack on John Kerry and figured that if you waste your time attacking both sides, that makes it OK.
No wonder approval for Congress has reached an all-time low. This crowd doesn’t deserve better.
