Sister Souljah, We Hardly Knew Yah

Elizabeth Edwards has criticized
the MoveOn.org ‘Betray Us’ ad,
saying "someone who’s spent their
life in the military doesn’t deserve ‘General Betray Us.’”

It’s great that she said it, and kudos to the Edwards campaign for being the
first to distance itself from that despicable ad. But . . . Elizabeth Edwards
isn’t running for president – her husband is. Is the Edwards campaign trying
to have its cake and eat it too, by creating a little deniability here in case
MoveOn.org pushes back? Is this a real Sister Souljah moment, or just a trial
balloon? Where is the candidate himself on this?

It would be nice to have the Edwards campaign put out feelers to see if the
other candidates can then safely reject the ad as well, but you have to strike
while the iron is hot. If Hillary later criticizes the ad, it will of course
look like a calculated political maneuver on her part rather than a genuine
abjuration of the ad.

    As usual poodle doesn’t provide any links to support his assertions. A web search revealed only one Brad R. Torgersen who based on his posts scarcely fits the leftist mold. Here is part of what Brad post in the Seattle Post Intelligencer on 4/17/06

    There is an ill flavor about so many retired Generals running to the nearest available microphone to carp about the Secretary of Defense and carp about Bush and carp around Iraq.

    We could start with the basic realization on the part of Northwest liberals that abusing recruiters and kicking them off campuses makes zero impact on foreign policy, does not significantly reduce recruiting numbers, and only teaches everyone in uniform that a great many pampered, soft, smug civilians in our schools think it’s great fun to pick on people who serve.

    Yeah, muttbrains, Brad really seems like someone who would bad mouth a general. /sarc

    Never mind! I see it now. Something woofie toddled in and spewed. No idea where he produced that from, quite possibly his ass. That is something he does regularly, must have a lot of fiber in his diet.

    Consider him gobsmacked, he gets it several times per week.

    Sorry for the confusion, I just saw the post date of this subject.

    “Brad R. Torgersen” is not me, the Seattle P-I writer.

    Writer or poster?

    Brad, you are in the wrong thread. This one didn’t start until Sept 14, 2007. Give us the title of the post you are referencing and we will merrily dig the troll out of its hole and smack it about, with feeling.

    Anyone usurping your name is a serious issue with us. We are rather nasty to such “persons”.

    Most pathetic excuse ever prize goes to Woofie.

    Ever notice that negative comments automatically get accepted among the liberal crowed? There are no questions of accuracy, they’re just assumed to be right.

    The name for that behavior is called partisanship.

    woofie, why would you not button all the way to the throat. Go out a door and the slipstream starts making anything loose flap, and that loosens anything it is attached to.

    As to Gen Betrayus, that is a name up from the ranks. You should check it out, woofie. Its not like his life is not an open book. He is a career US Army Officer, anything not coversheeted is open to inspection. His academic records should be rather easy to peruse. It is an electronic world, everything is blowing in the breeze.

    Well, it has always been clear who is the sub in that marriage. And the moveonocrat crowd has already got out front on all of this. It is their Party, they bought it, they can wreck it. Just like they do their parents cars and dorm rooms.

    I’m not sure who posted November 18, 2005 at 07:23 PM, but that “Brad R. Torgersen” is not me, the Seattle P-I writer. I was never with the “devil dogs”, but I am a SGT in the USAR.

    Did this Brad say that about his testimony to Congress in an ad in the New York Times or was it just regular soldier bitching?

    Betrayus is a name that came up from the ranks.

    I don’t know GEN Petraeus personally…but when I was in the “Devil Brigade” folks called him “Colonel Betrayus”. He came up with things like the “Devil button” (button your BDU collar up to the top when on jumps)
