It turns out that Rush Limbaugh coined the term. He first called Chuck Hagel Senator Betrayus for voting with the Dems on the so called war. How dare he call a fine American with so many years of service to his country something like that? Doesn’t that just get your panties in a wad?

Well, this certainly is good for the Time’s bottom line. If they had of known they were going to get this much visibility, they would have given the ad to Moveon for free. They are now in more homes than ever just so people can see what comes up next to get indignant about and rant and rave, if not for anything else. The Times has become more indignant about their First Amendment rights. “Don’t question our ad prices or anything we print, for that matter”, can be seen in a number of posts from them. They can now charge more for their ad spots because of a higher circulation. The Times loves this.
Move on loves the attention too. Their website traffic has shot up and they are now ranked 3,910 in the U.S. by Alexa. If you don’t know about Alexa ratings, when you make the top 100,000, you have arrived. Commercial sites pay millions to get there. Their membership is increasing faster and donations are up substantially. The article and ad are still featured on their website. It looks like the ad paid off. Moveon loves this.
Kids around my town are now saying General Betrayus loudly in public and smirking and giggling because they know that it will upset a few adults. General Betrayass is starting to catch on. Kids love this.
I’m wondering how much time Senators, Congressmen, and their staffs are spending on deciding what their “official position” is on this. I’m wondering, also, how many more ad spots other media outlets have sold because of this. The media loves this.

If kids could vote, this would be great for the Dems, wouldn’t it? It’s the adults who get upset about the MoveOn crap that will be voting.

frustration is anger turne inwards. i think mr. mc cain is wrong about this;however,i dont really believe he thinks this in his heart.it is definately a negative reaction.i think this is just what” move on” ,tries to intimidate candidates to doing.a shame for a patriot to be brought to this.whenever i get really angry at these left wing liberal tax and spend bastards,i just think of our great country and the freedom for all to say what they please,no matter what.they are talking because of the fredoms we fight so hard to protect.

frustration is anger turne inwards.
Nope. Anger turned inward is depression; frustration is anger expressed impotently.

Here’s the difference: The lefties called him “General Betrayus” for reporting the good news from Iraq. Their entire wagon is hitched to failure in Iraq, and they have to lie and spin to avoid the truth at any cost.
Chuck Hagel betrayed the Republicans by voting for defeat at the hands of the terrorists. In doing so, he betrayed America.
Big difference.

How much difference is there, really, between this and the kiddie death cult taught to the Palestinian children by their parents and elders? How different is the perpetuation of this sort of vile, politics of personal destruction (a Clintonian gift to the lexicon) from teaching children the “glory” of suicide bombing and militant self-destruction?
There are far, far more similarities between Islamist radicals and leftwing Democrats than those same liberals might care to admit.

Yep, cut from the same cloth. They both lie about their real position, want our country to be defeated in Iraq, want to impose a totalitarian government on us, etc.
One big difference - The libs are useful idiot allies to the muslims until they (the muslims) rule then they will become expendible.

Democrats, whose influence depends on their persuasiveness, expend so much energy trying to show their undertakings in the best possible light that they enventually lose the habit of thinking about the issue’s substance. Their skill in presenting their case almost entirely replaces their interest in the facts.
look familiar robert 108?

True freedom includes the freedom to be wrong and to be unpopular. As much as I despise MoveOn I would not advocate outlawing them. I’d like to see them wiped out - by lack of support. (Can’t a girl dream???) But not by law.

Each episode such as the move-on “betray us” ad further coarsens the conversation and short-circuits the thinking required of us all in a free democracy. We have been debased and demeaned by this kind of behavior. Yes, move-on is free to say what they like. And we are free and obligated to refute them and challenge their very bad manners, screwed-up thinking, and their bullying tactics.
