Excellent exposure of the Right-Wing-Noise-Machine in action. Thank God for the "new media" for once again debunking the "conservative media bias".
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/jeffrey-feldman/how-right...-about-_b_63888.html Pay attention, America: this is how the right-wing uses the media to manipulate the truth and silence dissent against the Iraq war. Even before MoveOn.org's ran its controversial ad about General Petraeus in the New York Times, The Weekly Standard published an article by Peter Hegseth, Executive Director of the organization Vets for Freedom. The headline of the article accused the MoveOn.org ad of calling Petreaus a 'traitor' ("MoveOn.org Calls Petraeus a Traitor"). The only problem: the word 'traitor' appears nowhere in the MoveOn.org ad nor anywhere on the MoveOn.org page about the ad. It is Hegseth's article that introduced the word 'traitor' into the story -- an outright lie intended to silence dissent against the war. Less than 24 hours after the Hegseth piece ran and the MoveOn.org ad appeared, the mainstream media picked up the Weekly Standard's lie and repeated it until it became the story. |

No, they used the word "betray" in fact the nastly liberals renamed him to General Betray us. So while you are technically correct, I would say that you are splitting hairs.

Not that I dont think that the sir is a troll, but his profile says LDO, meaning he once had a real job and was enlisted.

Benidict Arnold only betrayed his country? Isn't he considered a traitor? I guess this troll thinks he is not a traitor. Forget the dog, Beware of Owner |

OK so maybe not a troll, but it does seem strange that an active duty officer would stand by the accusation that GEN Petreaus had betrayed us. Forget the dog, Beware of Owner |

People that are constantly cutting'n'pasting definitions from dictionaries are traitors that deserve to be shot. Wretched scum.
 Seriously... is there any lamer example of debating technique than this? |

That among his other posts calling on the CinC. Maybe its time for him to retire. He sounds like batman. |

"Cannon Cockers, The Grunts 911 call" "Has Been 1" |
"Strange,"  Holy sh*t, I think that is called an under statement. |

No just shows that some people need to be reminded of what words actually mean. |

So, I thought it was supposed to be us dumb Army Infantry types that don't understand words that generally mean the same thing.
I also thought that the Navy was full of edumacated folks... this guy must have missed that in OTS. As I said on another thread... moveon.org can go blow itself... and take Joe Biden. |

Personally I think this guy is a former member here that got canned. I think an LDO Lt with 23yrs is a stretch. I have never known any like that. All the ones I served with were O4's at 23 yrs or better. |

That's not debating, it's getting a point across without working for it. |

Oh that's right, that of course depends on what you define as the definition of "is".....is.  A traitor betrays people, there, is that clear enough? Moveon's excuse is what I'd call lame. |

Huffington is a lying female dog who ripped off her husband to get her wealth that she in turn uses to puff her own ego up with drivel. Anyone who uses her as a reference for an arguement deserves the same disdain. |

MoveOn.org stepped on its completely disfunctional and usually lame self by paying for this ad. Now the DNC spin meisters are working overtime to clean up the poo-poo that was spilled on the national carpet by these left wing liberal Shitzu's.
Does it matter that the originator of this discussion is a troll? Absolutely... and of course a thinly disguised troll he is. The profile is rife with inconsistencies and therefore means that the message itself is therefore suspect... Notice how well I learn lessons from Democratic Senators on this? |

Wow how brain washed can we be. The libs are so full of themselves they cannot see themselves through their rosey colored glasses. In the Gen Petreas report yesterday a Congressman made the comment to some of his lib conterparts "I guess if they think it isn't working then we should hold hands around the camp fire and sing coom bye yah(?). A nice slap in the face to the left |

Welcome aboard, Lieutenant!
Your post must have hit a nerve, considering that most replies have not had anything to say about it, but rather have attacked the poster.  "Never try to teach a pig to sing; It wastes your time and annoys the pig." - Heinlein |
