The sinister Soros Democrats and the MoveOn front

David Limbaugh:

...

With today's Democratic Party, we are witnessing the full-blown resurrection of the far antiwar left of 1972, but with a sinister twist. This institution is more than the political vehicle for the antiwar movement and other leftist causes. It has become a highly refined and lavishly funded character assassination machine that relies more on ad hominem attacks than debating the merits of issues to win elections and advance its policy agenda.

Just think of the decent people whose characters it has attempted to savage: President George Bush, Vice President Dick Cheney, Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, Attorneys General John Ashcroft and Alberto Gonzalez, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, Judge Samuel Alito and scores of others, including most high-profile Bush judicial nominees. I can just hear the derisive laughter now from those allergic to my suggestion that these people are indeed honorable public servants. Such derision demonstrates the effectiveness of the left's relentless propaganda efforts.

Democratic war opponents, for example, could have argued the facts Petraeus presented. But with early reports of the surge's success, they had to counter with something more than an alternative perspective.

While Democrats cynically accused Bush of making the well-respected Petreaus his point man to sell the success of the surge, they used that very tactic in reverse. They tried to undercut the case for the surge by tainting its messenger, Petreaus, through association with Bush -- saying he was merely Bushs mouthpiece, a charge Petreaus roundly refuted in his opening remarks to Congress.

You can be sure Democrats will ratchet up their attacks against Petraeus, and it will only be a matter of time before their endless efforts to discredit him seep into the public psyche. What will have begun as another abominable lie will be believed by increasing numbers of people who place their trust in the Democratic Party and its mainstream-media echo chamber.

...

It would be bad enough if the damage from these personal attacks were limited to their individual victims. But think about the effect of their slanders against Petraeus on the reputation of our armed forces. To undermine the commander of our forces in wartime Iraq is unconscionable and disgraceful.

It's undeniable that the Democratic leadership is in complete intellectual and tactical lockstep with George Soros's band of anti-military, antiwar radicals.

...

I think MoveOn and the left may have finally had their McCarthy moment. Republicans are not going to let the voters forget this disgraceful attack. They are also pushing back on the other slanders that have made up the bulk of liberal substitutes for reasoned argument. This turning also coincides with the turning of war in Iraq proving Democrats were disastrously wrong about strategy and tactics because of their desperate desire to lose. Republicans need to ride these developments to handing the Democrats a McGovern like defeat in 2008.

So far, Rudy Giuliani has been the candidate who has best seized this opportunity. He is already enjoying direct attacks from MoveOn as a result. It is hard to think of a better endorsement in a Republican primary. It does appear the Betrayal will be a MoveOn theme in 2008. This is a serious mistake on their part besides the blow back on the Petraeus attack what is the word for people who are working for defeat of their own forces?
