Fighting back against MoveOn and dirty Dems

Hugh Hewitt interviews Rudy Giuliani:

...

HH: What did you make of the MoveOn.org ad?

RG: I thought the MoveOn.org ad was disgraceful. I think that it is just another indication of what the Democratic Party has become. I mean, MoveOn.org is one of the biggest contributors to the Democratic Party. They’ve contributed hundreds of millions of dollars in ads that have almost all been scurrilous character attacks on Republican candidates. They are an organization that specializes in libel and slander and character assassination. But all of a sudden, now, they’ve focused their attention on an American general in time of war, and accused him of being a traitor. I mean, this is absurdly over the line. And to have Hillary Clinton, with her comments that very day, the very day that ad appeared, that General Petraeus is asking us to have a willful suspension of disbelief, is pure Clintonianism. The willful suspension of disbelief. To ordinary people like you and me, what does that mean, people who talk straight to each other? It means she’s accusing him of not telling the truth. Well, Hillary Clinton has no right to be attacking the integrity of an American general who has put his life at risk for this country, is putting his life at risk for this country. If you want to disagree with his policies and our policies or our programs, fine. But this character assassination has to stop, it has to stop somewhere, and it certainly should stop when we’re going after generals like this.

HH: Now Mayor, if you are her opponent in the general election, will her silence about this ad be an issue?

RG: Her silence is going to be an issue until she apologizes.

Blackfive filed an FEC complaint over the NY Times "Betray Us ad. I first raised questions about this ad in this post after Bob Owens noticed the discrepancy in the charge for the ad and the listed rate card. It appears that many others are starting to see the problem.

It is also good to see Republicans fighting back. They have been way to passive for too long allowing this Democrat cancer to spread. One of the things I like about Rudy is he is a fighter who will stand up and take on these guys. The Fred Thompson clip below shows he has some fire on the issue. MoveOn has done more to energize Republicans than anyone else in recent memory. Anyone who calls resistance to surrender a betrayal has got their definitions and common sense out of whack. Here is the ad Rudy is asking the NY Times to run.

Hat tip to Larwyn. Larwyn also noted that CNN is reporting that the rate paid by MoveOn is their normal rate. If the CNN report is accurate, then it appears that Blackfive may need to move his complaint from the Federal Election Commission to the Federal Trade Commission. I think Rudy can have some fun with this one. Telling the public your rate is $165,000 or more when your real charge is $65,000 is likely to be be considered a fraudulent trade practice. At a minimum they have some explaining to do.
