So where do we stand with Democrats denouncing the MoveOn.org attack on Gen. Petraeus?
Joe Biden has said he didn't agree with the attack and the general is an honorable man.
Wesley Clark denounced the attack, but he's not running for president at the moment.
Today Hillary Clinton passed on the opportunity to make a full-throated denunciation of the ad, saying: "I've never had that opinion, and I've said publicly on numerous occasions, including at the last hearing, how much I respect Gen. Petraeus and his service to our country."
Well, OK, but several bricks short of a load.
Richard Cohen, The Washington Post columnist — and I presume much better described as a liberal than a conservative — attacked her today for not really going after MoveOn over the Petraeus "Betray Us" ad. He said: "Clinton is the front-runner, quite possibly the next president of the United States, and so it is reasonable to focus on her and wonder if, as some allege, she indeed does have a spine."
Cohen, The Washington Post liberal, is calling Hillary to task for being so afraid of MoveOn and its 3.3 million contributors.
He concluded his column by saying that she could have and she should have denounced MoveOn: "It was a moment for her to say that an Army general, under orders and attempting to fulfill a mission, should not be so casually trashed."
He's right, and I'm glad to hear someone other than conservatives saying so.

Because many of them hate America and agree with MoveOn.
Easy, They’re gay!
Money...either given to their campaigns or to be used against them.
Money and votes. Not that they can’t get them both illegally.
$$$$$$$$$$
BUMP
The reason is simple: MoveOn.Org is targeting Democrats who they think aren’t sufficiently anti-war. The Democratic candidates don’t want to alienate them, even if they disagree with them.
Because moveon.org is very well-funded and each Democratic candidate has to play it so that they might be able to use that asset against the other candidates. The Republicans aren’t even on the radar screen yet.
errrr..... because MoveOn.org owns them.
The further left MoveOn can pull them, the more the Donks come across as moonbats, the better.
Three simple reasons:
1) Democrat party money comes from Soros-backed groups like MoveOn;
2) The democrat party is anti-American;
3) Liberals, although they continually laud each other as “intellectuals”, are really not that intelligent.

George Soros, the rotten anti-American communist is behind this group. MoveOn.org OWNS the Democrats!
They OWN the Democrats! The Democrats have painted themselves into a corner on this one. By failing to denounce and remove themselves from the same company, they proclaim that they have no problem with the anti-American, lunatic views of these creeps.
They have, in fact, sided with this group.
How long can the Democratic party remain?
LOL!

Didn’t she TELL him his comments ‘streched the limits of credulity’ or some such? IOW, she accused him of LYING! A difference without a discinction.
