The MoveOn.org ad in the NYT was, IMO, disgraceful. After a unanimous vote in a Dem-controlled congress for confirmation of Gen Petraeus, a Dem support organization comes up with this garbage. Thanks to Matthew Hoy, here is a list of Dems who have rec'd donations from this sleazy bunch:

Hoy has it right: "I encourage you look them up and ask them what they think about the MoveOn.org ad and what they’re going to do about the money they’ve received. Might I suggest that returning the funds to MoveOn would be an unsatisfactory response; the money would be better spent on something like the Wounded Warrior Project."
