Yes, it's true that no Democrat should have joined the Republicans in official condemnation of the ad. But this attitude "My party, right or wrong," has its limits too.
I'm confused. on one hand you say no Democrat should have joined the Republicans, and on the other you say the concept of "my party, right or wrong" has its limits. Which is it? Did the MoveOn ad cross a line the Republicans themselves haven't crossed many times before? Hell no! This wasn't about the content of the ad, and everyone knows it! This was a chance for the Republicans to show the country that the Democrats are still the party that bends over and grabs their ankles when they're told to.
MoveOn.org is the most public face of the left's netroots, the loose organization of liberals and progressives who were largely responsible for the energy and money that helped the Democrats take back control of Congress. And like Judas, the Republicans got the Democratic Party to Petraues.
Mission Accomplished!
